Peter_Carter-
And I believe my point was that even at the point of inception, in a union that was unwanted and forced upon the vast majority of common people and landowners in Scotland by an elite that were acting in their own financial interest or coerced the same way BoJo and his ilk are acting with Brexit now, there were major political, cultural and philosophical differences between the two nations so your 'joint enterprise' (where you actually tried to attribute the development of Empire to James IV even though it began over a century beforehand) was not equal then or after, regardless of whether the British monarch acting as a figurehead of parliament at Westminster was originally the Scottish king. Alles klar?

Eh? What, by wanting to be free of the elitist clusterfuck that's been Westminster rule we're being petty are we? Conjoined with Peter Carter's illuminating belief that experiments in Empire are wholly attributable to the Scots being the devil on the English shoulder I think we've got a full house on today's round of Avoidance Bingo.
