If Only One Saltire Flies

There will be a day when Alba becomes free To unite this great nation, rid our debris Join together, families, neighbours and friends Encourage unity, let Alba ascend And this will happen, as long as one Saltire flies Uniting our nation, all of you and I

The referendums aftermath, has fused the people. The SNP are gaining, higher than a steeple. Momentum grows strong, Westminster will become feeble. Maybe the Prince will become King, James ..........:)

Maurice, Westminster have so much to lose in relation to losing Scotland. They will lose Scotland as the momentum is still live, and the hunger to rid them increases. Many thanks for your support, it's so much appreciated, James :)

It is from my heart James. I am so inspired by your passion. Then doing my own research I understood the givens. As best as I could I put myself in your shoes. This would be an unimaginable truth for me.

I should of just said Gordon Brown and David Cameron. They were reporting here in Canada that David Cameron was really afraid of losing Scotland. Than I read somewhere that 80% of all of Great Britain's Oil is in Scotland so no wonder he would be afraid.

Excellent! I am sorry about Scotland. I watched it all on the news as it came down. It seems like the former prime minister of England made a big difference in the vote. Basically scaring especially the older generation. Than the current prime minister making all kind of promises in the final two weeks to buy more votes.
