Scottish Independence. Is the sun finally setting on the Mighty British Empire?

By Mike Smith, 15th of September 2014

At its height in 1919 the British Empire was the largest empire in the history of the world. It was the foremost world power for over a century. The British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population and covered almost a quarter of the world’s land area. It is the reason why English is today the global language. It was termed “the empire on which the sun never sets”.

Now, on the eve of Scottish independence, that prospect seems very possible.

As a Nationalist, I support independence for any nation who desires it and if it is what the Scots want, then they should get it.

I am dead set against the globalist agenda of creating a One World Government and all their abominable creations like the League of Nations, The Commonwealth, The United Nations, The European Union, etc. should be dissolved as far as I am concerned.

Scottish independence might just be the trigger that will bring this globalist agenda to a halt and even reverse it.

Britain went from “British Empire” to “Great Britain” to “United Kingdom” to “United Kingdom and Ireland” to just “England and Wales”. I certainly hope so. I wish the Scots could pull off their independence and finally draw the curtain on the useless UK or “Great Britain”. Thinking back to what Britain did to the Boers, Rhodesia and South Africa, I will applause the destruction of the once “Great Britain”.

For me it will be funny enough to see the Union Jack without the Blue.

If Scotland gains its independence after the forthcoming referendum, the remainder of the United Kingdom will be known as the "Former United Kingdom" (F U K). In a bid to discourage Scots from voting 'yes' in the referendum, the Westminster has now begun to campaign with the slogan: "Vote NO, for F U K's sake".

Jokes aside…Scottish independence will be a serious stick in the spokes of the Globalist agenda. That is why their propaganda machine is going all out to prevent it.

The poor Scots are threatened with currency collapse, bankruptcy, irrelevance and isolation. They are told that if the leave the UK they will also be leaving the EU and NATO and will have to reapply for membership and might get blackballed.

A Scottish “Yes” also means exit from the EU and NATO

What do we threaten the Scots with next? Exploding haggises?

They are even using dead soldiers to bash the Scots.

Our soldiers lost their lives trying to preserve the UK. What will their families say?

My biggest concern is the impact Scottish independence will have on South Africa. No doubt other nations seeking independence like the Basque people of Spain, the Flemish in Belgium and the Afrikaners in South Africa are watching the Scottish referendum closely. If the Scots get their independence it will trigger a snowball effect that might just totally reverse the Globalist agenda and nobody will be happier than me.

#5 Scotland can at least hope that they end up in control of North Sea Oil. What has Wales got? Coal, nice beaches, and Castles. I'm a fan of two out of three but you can't run a country on them. They should hang tight and watch the Scots for awhile first.
