| Touby, no need to track the score. I already admit the defeat when dealing with a woman. The score is always same, at the begin or at the end. Man lose. |

You see, when some ethnic groups don't get their independence and live under other's flag, they became insignificant and people do not even know how the name spelt.

Well, we have our own parliament, bank notes, national team, flag and Scots law ...
Here have this one on me too (again free of charge to a fellow human )
The Declaration of Arbroath was a declaration of Scottish independence, and set out to confirm Scotland's status as an independent, sovereign state and its use of military action when unjustly attacked. It is in the form of a letter submitted to Pope John XXII, dated 6 April 1320.
The Declaration made a number of much-debated rhetorical points: that Scotland had always been independent, indeed for longer than England. That the independence of Scotland was the prerogative of the Scots people.
The stirring rhetoric of the Declaration has made it famous both in Scotland and internationally, indeed it is believed to have influenced the drafters of the United States Declaration of Independence. It is undisputed that the document subsequently played an influential role in the history of Scottish national identity and the creation of the common belief (whether based in legal reality or not) that in Scotland it is the 'people' that are sovereign, rather than the monarch or parliament, as in England.
And for any Braveheart fans (), one passage in particular is often quoted from the Declaration:
...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.

Parliament for internal affairs without much power. Bank notes but central bank still have power in money policy, law is restricted in small areas.
I appreciate my good Scottish friends I have how they are revolutionists, brave hearted and sensitive for example in Palestine issue. When I was working in UK, I always had click with Scottish, Irish and leftist British. Well there are always exceptions. There are bad apples and good apples. lol. |

VERY INSPIRING AND GAMBIA NEED THIS SPIRIT OF NATIONALISM & TO UNDERSTAND THAT; "it is 'the people' that are sovereign? = Halifa Sallah/PDOIS simple ABC politics which even the so-called cadre of intelligent Gambians, clever & DECIETFUL new generation intellectuals CANNOT APPRECIATE TO COMPREHEND & DIS-HONORABLY DIS-APPROVE TO DISCREDIT OUR GAMBIA'S GREAT POLITICIANS |
