Gotta tip my flat cap towards the Scottish and not just because they voted no.
You guys have shown us what can be done with a working democracy I hope more in the UK get involved in politics now and lets get someone decent in
eh?.
Now is the chance for us to unite get stronger together, lets work together like we have done in the past 300 years.
Just look what we have done for the world in that time..we can do much better you know.
So instead of bringing up old wounds lets wipe the slate clean and start over.
Oh and you Scots I share your blood and am proud to be still in a union of people not just a land mass.
Gonna buy the next ten Scots I meet a pint .
OK I'm in.... firstly though, can we change the National Anthem, it's just awful, droning and frankly embarrassing.
Land of Hope & Glory or Jerusalem maybe? They always seem to come up.
Can't we have something else... Pleeeaaaaaase....
Put the one you want up and when I get in I will see what I can do .
We could change it to "UK Uprise"
It's like this,
If you don't get up, they' will keep us down
From the moment you are born, they put a number on you
They will tell you what to eat after they have modified it
They will tell you how to dress after they have designed it
They will tell you where to live, and how to live
They will control your lives
But there is an alternative
We can rise up and take control of our lives
We who live here in this England
Can use our soil to provide our food
We can make clothes from Hemp
We can bypass the blood-sucking corporate machine
And live in love and unity in 'dis time
We can do dis'
Unite my people
Unite...
England up rise
England up rise
Unite tonight
England up rise!
No more to Tony Blair and Neo-liberalism
No more of us slaving for global capitalism
No more denying the beauty of who you really are
No more wars for oil
# the mainstream media
No to Monsanto Nestle and factory farming
No more to Trident and nuclear re-arming
No more expanding on aviation and on roads
No more to these old death giving modes
England up rise
England up rise
Unite tonight
England up rise! x2
Yes to the Beatles and to George Monbiot
Yes to FDM and to Gary Dunne's live Shows
Yes to WOOFing and the festival scene
And yes to the brave youth who build all our dreams!
Yes to solidarity and internationalism
Tom Paine, George Orwell, Spiritual activism
Yes to Rory Mcleod rambling through woods
And to all you people whom from injustice make good!
England up rise
Everyone up rise
Time to overcome
Everyone up rise!
We can change it for everyone
Our generation can be the sun
Love is revolution, you don't need a gun
Make it happen together as one
Cos love is just like oxygen
Don't let our people get overrun
All people, all life under the sun
Make it happen,
What do we want to become?
Beauty,
Friendship,
Justice,
Everyone, everyone com'on
People up rise
Everyone up rise
Unite tonight
Love up rise
(can't find all of the lyrics... nowhere has them)

Too bad they didn't win. Of course winning didn't really mean anything. A referendum is not a binding decision. It only asked what if? If it had
been an actual vote to secede or not, more people might have come out and voted yes. If Scotts aren't independent, what are they?
A colony.
Eng-land, Ire-land, Scot-land… one big, happy colony.
Was this voting done by electronic means or cast ballot?
Just look what we have done for the world in that time..we can do much better you know
Oh you mean like colonialism, opium wars, slavery, shipping convicts abroad, dark satanic mills, Balfour Declaration setting the scene for the
creation of Israel,
