Seven wise men with knowledge so fine, created a pussy to their design. First was a butcher, with smart wit, using a knife, he gave it a slit, Second was a carpenter, strong and bold, with a hammer and chisel, he gave it a hole, Third was a tailor, tall and thin, by using red velvet, he lined it within, Fourth was a hunter, short and stout, with a piece of fox fur, he lined it without, Fifth was a fisherman, nasty as hell, threw in a fish and gave it a smell, Sixth was a preacher, whose name was McGee, touched it and blessed it, and said it could pee, Last was a sailor, dirty little runt, who sucked it and fucked it, and called it a cunt.

Scottish independence and the end of the UK It has recently emerged that almost 60% of people living in England support the idea of Scotland being made independent. In Scotland itself the figure stands at 52%, according to an ICM study undertaken on behalf of the Sunday Telegraph. The telephone poll, conducted on November 22 and 23, interviewed 1,003 Scots and 869 English people, so it is by no means all-encompassing but its findings come as quite a surprise, given English apathy towards the issue in the past. The report also revealed that 48 per cent of people living in England are in favour of complete English independence – so more people appear to be in favour of ditching the Scots than the Welsh and Northern Irish. SNP wants more The Scottish National Party (SNP) claims that Scots are fed up with being ruled by London and that now the country has a devolved parliament, it should progress to having a real parliament with real powers. Since Scotland regained a parliament of its own in 1999, it has powers to make primary legislation in certain areas of policy, in addition to some limited tax varying powers. But the SNP wants much more than that. If it is victorious in the Scottish parliamentary elections in May next year, the SNP plans to hold a referendum on Scottish independence, paving the way for the end of the United Kingdom as we know it. The implications of four independent nations replacing the United Kingdom are colossal. Everyone would need a new passport, the Queen’s role as head of state would lose both power and prestige and the armed forces would have to be divided up. The currencies could be different too, if some nations opt to join the Euro and others don’t and British embassies across the globe would need to be replaced by English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish embassies. But just because it would be a logistical nightmare does not mean it should be dismissed. Saying it will be tricky to go from one united group to four individual nations is no grounds for saying it shouldn’t happen. The more credible arguments against Scottish independence have been highlighted recently at the Scottish Labour Party conference. Chancellor Gordon Brown said: “There is a debate to be had about the future of the United Kingdom. But when you look at the arguments, when you look at the family ties, economic connections, shared values, the history of our relationship which has lasted 300 years, people will decide we are stronger together.” John Reid, the Home Secretary, went even further, claiming that "separation would mean hundreds of thousands of children and grandchildren, parents and grandparents, overnight becoming 'English' or 'Scottish', but not British, being forced to choose which passports to hold”. He added that the SNP and its cause is “not fit for purpose” in the modern world and that an independent Scotland would break up families, lead to economic problems for Scotland and undermine national security. Naked self interest Strong words from both men, who incidentally are both Scottish and would not be able to continue as MPs in Westminster should Scotland be made independent. The Prime Minister, who was born in Scotland, might also fall into the same category. SNP leader Alex Salmond has accused Labour of wanting to keep the union going out of "naked self interest" - to retain its grip on Westminster. He would argue that the fact that Gordon Brown would not be able to hold the Prime Minister role if Scotland became independent means Brown would obviously oppose the move. With the Holyrood elections just over six months away, Labour has begun to hit back at Salmond and the SNP. First Minister Jack McConnell said of the SNP leader: "He is a one-man band, a man from the past who has got very shaky judgment.” John Reid added: "He opposed the idea of a devolved parliament for years, until it suited him." It didn’t stop there, with Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander chipping in that Salmond is “an old man in a hurry” and that “his promises are cheap but his deeds would be costly for Scotland”. Just before Labour started to fight back, a poll revealed that the SNP is continuing to take voters away from the party. Nationalists have overtaken Labour in both the constituency and regional list votes, an ICM survey for the Scotsman newspaper has found. The poll puts the SNP at 34% for the constituency vote - up 2% from results published at the beginning of the month and 5% ahead of Labour on 29%. It remains to be seen what impact the Labour party’s recent outbursts on the issue will have, but one thing that is for certain is that the debate will get a lot more heated as the elections get closer. The Conservatives support Labour on the independence issue, while the Lib Dems want to give devolution time to bed down in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales before any further action is taken. There doesn’t seem to be any benefit in rushing the process. The key is to find a resolution that suits each individual country as well as their combined interests. Ultimately, given that we live in a democracy, the people should be given the chance to decide. Polls on a few thousand people give an indication as to what people want, but what harm would there be in a referendum that allows the people to make up their own minds? If Labour is so convinced that people will decide the UK is stronger than the four individual nations, it has nothing to fear from a public vote. By Tom Reed - MSN News Editor IT WASNT ALL IN VAIN!!!
