It is illegal to deface Her Majesty's face e.g. on a coin, stamp or money

That one is a myth, I believe it was repealed some time ago.

Depends on how you look at it.

Oh that 'war'...we have been involved in so many since then, often on our own, that that particular skirmish has tended to slide down the lists somewhat. It is only of residual importance I am afraid, sorry. I hope our dismissive attitude towards it does not offend, it is obviously of importance to you.
Either that, or the fact that a bunch of "lowly, backwoods, and stupid colonists" defeated the most powerful force on Earth at the time leaves many wanting to forget such an embarrassment in your proud history. That is of course, speculation. After all, first colony of yours to rebel and successfully achieve independence, which wouldn't happen again for quite sometime.

hopefully this will happen pretty soon again vote SNP!

seriously though i dont really care i think that it wont matter whether we are part of britain or not either way we will have a reasonably strong economy it just means we would never win anything at the olympics!

You need to learn your economics friend...you should also be looking at the subsidy paid by England to Scotland...we would be quite happy not to have that particular burden in our taxes down here. And please don't bring up the north sea oil chestnut, the tax revenue doesn't even begin to cover it.

"'ee kin stech 'ees money up 'ees airse!" disgruntled fisherman re: donald trump

its a national mindset, and one of the few positives i can find in my country. enjoy your next hundred years of tory governments with a devolved scotland not voting left to counter the raging beast. what monsters london will breed then god only knows. poverty and decline. i'll be voting snp until this place is independent and then dumping them where they belong. salmond is as big an idiot as i've ever had the misfortune to listen to, but it suits the preferred outcome in the mean time. europa! the french would love us.

Wrong! This is not only a law in itself, but is in fact still in force!
