Thats how us Pikey's roll!
Dont you mean Poikeys? And dont forget the Home Guard, the sick lame and lazy, who when armed with White Lightning and pickaxe handles are more than a match for the colonials.

Devolution would be pointless because i think within the next 10-20 years we will be ruled by a European superstate.

Later, some of yer Uncles from Denmark/Germany/Scandinavia invaded and pushed us back to about Pembrokeshire (its lush!) and also introduced football...

Then these newcomer Northern Scandies-ish built castles for the tourists and tried to kill us all...

All for this let the English have their own government and let the Scots have theirs. Lets see how well England get on without all the revenue from the North sea. After all the Scots are scroungers in the English man's closed mind. Some of you really need to wake up If you took the Scots out of England and the English out of Scotland the two countries would fall to bits.

Getting rid of these two countries, and having parliament simply running England, without those two nations having a say on how England is ran, would also see removed the need to use Scottish or Welsh political parties to form majority governments.

What do you think?
Why don't you look up the history books pleb, Britain would have never been great without the help of the Scots, Welch ane Irish you dummy, I'd love to see you tories survive during the war etc without our help! I'd love to see the 3 nations having a bright future , but unfortunately england has bankrupt us all!

He shots, he scores...

Well Mr Rat who ate the Bait,

You obviously completely missed the point that I was putting out some bait to see how many bites I would get. You fell for it, hook, line and sinker!

BTW, I'm actually more Welsh than English, but not having looked up my history, you've jumped to the wrong conclusion there, pleb.

Nor am I a tory supporter, dummy
