The West Lothian question is this.

If the other home nations have their own assemblies/governments then what right have their MP's sitting in the British parlaiment to vote on purely English matters? The answer is that they have no right whatsoever & should abstain.

West Lothian meaning Scotland?




Ninebelowzero -> RE: Scottish independence? (1/16/2012 10:35:15 AM)

it's an area that crosses the border, dunno why it's called this but it was raised a good 30 years ago by a Scottish socialist called Tam Daylell.

And what is the question regarding West Lothian?

Remember, this is a Yank based site, and our question would be what in the fuck IS a West Lothian, and would probably detract from the actual question, without explications.  

I'm afraid my reading of the West Loathian Question differs quite substantially with that of Ninebelow's! [8D] A West Loathian is someone who has issues with Western civilisation. Readers of the Guardian are inevitably West Loathians! The West Loathian Question is how we dispose of said people. Some have suggested their regeneration as Soylent Green.

Nice one. I had to read that twice to get it. Thanks for the chuckle.

He does wear a kilt.. and such a lovely view when I am kneeling at his feet....

But thankfully he isnt as hairy as the man you suggested. [;)] Nor as red.

Thirdly the |Scots don't hate being ruled from Westminster, they really hate being ruled by Tories it's the Thatcher legacy.



Oddly enough the Tories were doing well in Scotland under Thatcher, until she used them as cannon fodder when trying out the Poll Tax.

Equipped with sporran I'm sure! [8D] Not a fan of facial growth I take it. It would seem very few women are.
