If Scotland seeks Independence, will Blair or Brown move the goalposts like Thatcher did before?

Update:

Scotland did not have a vote for the Union. There will always be somebody to say that Scotland did well out of the Union. Did It? I would say England gained more, and has more to lose.

    Scotts seek independance for centuries and will never give up

    Declaration_of_Arbroath:

    -----------------------------------

    ...for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Ofcourse.

    P.S Nicolas M........ I have a copy of the

    Declaration of Scottish Independance...Arbroath 1320.

    Framed and on my wall, Aye, it sure does make the hair on the back "o" yer neck stand up. If you have the time perhaps you might put it up and let folk's feast their eye's on what the word "PATRIOTISM" means.

    Yes, and might move further than Thatcher did. MI5 shall be a lot busier than with the Northern Irlanders.

    Yes they don't want to lose Scotland.

    It would be odd if they didn't ! It would certainly be the first time.

    They move goalposts about so often they have fitted them all with castors.
