    God save our gracious Queen. Long live our noble Queen. Send her victorious. Long to reign over us. Scatter her enemies. And make them fall. Confound their politics. God save us all. Long may she reign. May she defend our laws. And ever give us cause. To sing with heart and voice. God save The Queen!

    I do not often agree with your belligerent uninformed contributions but on this occasion I heartily support you.

    Certainly better than you blatherer. You remain a subject, especially ironic since you voted for it. And, you have to tolerate Balmoral. Humiliating, and nothing you can say or do will change it.

    ...I remain a subject...? How do you work that one out....?
    ....and what's wrong with Balmoral...?
    ...there you go again, putting your foot in it...jumping the gun...
    I have nothing but respect for the Queens role as a servant to the UK... albeit a very well paid one.
    ,,,,but she is not more noble or any better than anyone else....she has a job to do and she does it very well indeed.....
    ...a fine example of a monarch...
    ....so quieten that Voice of yours and let the echos drift and dissipate into the Scotch mist that flows through the glens and hovers above the lochs each morning....or alternatively.....STFU!

    Why don't you ask them? the next time you step outside your front door or when you go to work (if you work) or when you drop your kids at school or when you take your wife shopping or when you use their health services.

    Just ask them yourself, you chose to live amongst millions of them.

    @5. Then you should learn that the enemy only respects strength.
    @6. Actually, I'm not subservient. I respect my Queen. And she IS mine. She is, primarily, the Queen of England. Despite her ancestry, she is not Scottish, Welsh, Irish, German or any other place in the Commonwealth. She embodies my country. And MY country, over a thousand years in existence, is the best there is in the world. Nowhere else compares. Other places are, at best, ephemeral. Name a country in the British Isles that England hasn't conquered. France. Defeated. Italy. Defeated. Spain. Defeated. Germany. Defeated. America. Took 12 colonies and 3 countries. India. Subjugated. Africa. Subjugated. China. Defeated.

    I take it Her Majesty wasn't privy to the scenes of violence carried out by the NO voters against anybody who didn't vote no then?

    She's actually an alright person, I met her once as a young soldier.

    Smart woman.

    Not only does our Brenda think about uniting the UK again but she also thinks about Uniting Scotland.

    What a woman!!
