So you have one UK-wide railway company named 'North British'. As conclusive as that might sound to you, it was in competition with the Caledonian Railway Company - as you might be aware, 'Caledonia' is a synonym for 'Scotland'.<br /><br />Since you're a unionist though, you might be interested to note that the post of 'Secretary of State for Scotland' (with that name) was created in 1885. In 1832, the number of Scottish MPs in Parliament was increased by the so-named 'Scottish Reform Act'. The Church of Scotland bore its name throughout this period. Etc.<br /><br />I don't know how you've created this bizarre fantasy in your head that we all used to call ourselves 'North British' and only started using the term 'Scottish' again more recently. However, to entertain your idea one more time, I'll ask you again:<br /><br />When (to the nearest decade or so) did Scots start referring to themselves AS A MATTER OF COURSE as 'North British'?<br /><br />When (again to the nearest decade or so) did Scots stop referring to themselves as a matter of course as 'North British' and start calling themselves 'Scots' once more?<br /><br />I'll be interested to hear your answers.Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-2869811336688368792015-11-24T13:02:50.610+00:002015-11-24T13:02:50.610+00:00If someone had a breakdown you would expect them t...If someone had a breakdown you would expect them to become agitated, volatile, unreliable - perhaps a danger to themselves. You would expect them to lose a sense of reason and perspective. You would expect their behaviour to vastly change from their previous behaviour. You would expect them, perhaps, to contradict themselves and be incoherent. They might develop a persecution complex and believe they are the victim of conspiracy and deliberate slights and put downs, regardless of whether such activity actually exists.<br /><br />Notice something about that paragraph above?

Scotland has never, ...What absolute nonsense Aldo. Scotland has never, ever been referred to as "North Britain" in any serious way, by anyone. It is Scotland and has been since the early middle ages, and Scotia (latin) or Alba (Gaelic) since Roman times. I am not aware of any period in History when it has been referred to as North Britain. To attempt to refer to Scotland as North Britain would frankly be highly offensive. <br /><br />As for your belief that in the next 20 years we will either choose independence or "throw ourselves fully into being a part of Britain, embracing it as something good and something to be proud of - rather than thinking Britishness is somehow bad and something that Scots ought to deny / distance themselves from", you are dreaming mate. I have travelled the world fairly extensively for over 20 years, and when I meet people and they ask where I am from, never once have I replied "Britain" or "British". Why? Because in my opinion Britishness IS something to deny. I would be embarrassed to call myself British and never will. It's bad enough that I am without having to admit it. Britain is a right wing, imperialist, shockingly undemocratic construct, ruled by an elite who think we have to save money by starving the poor to finance their latest warmongering. Those same elite must sit back laughing as their friends and allies in the outrageously biased British media brainwash the British sheeple. Yeah! Let's bomb Syria! 'Cos that worked out sooo well the first two times in Iraq and Afghanistan! Call me a steaming great turd before you call me British, because I would find that less insulting. 49% of Scots (and rapidly rising) now support independence, according to the latest polls. Another few years at that rate and we'll have the numbers we need. Bring it on!<br /><br />Only a unionist would refer to the country waking up and becoming politically engaged in a way that hasn't happened for generations, as a "nervous breakdown" in the first place. It's only unionists who are nervous.RHFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399251146965234939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-58073878403744962772015-11-23T16:26:38.150+00:002015-11-23T16:26:38.150+00:00James, this thread was fine with a mature discuss...James, this thread was fine with a mature discussion on the polling until the poster GWC came and joined it.
