Take bagpipes back

So Alex Salmond wants independence for Scotland.

Give them independence - on condition they take every single set of bagpipes back over the border with them.

Sleeping at knight

I BET former bank boss Fred Goodwin won’t be able to sleep having his knighthood taken back, but he can always count his £650,000-a-year pension which he keeps. I bet he’s bothered.

Switch off spot lights

WHY do drivers with cars fitted with front spot lights leave them on? It’s not foggy, which is what they’re intended for and your lights are blinding other road users.

Please don’t use the excuse that the lights are ‘factory set’ because they will switch off, you just have to find the switch! I thought it was an offence to drive with fog lights on anyway, especially in rain.

Affect thousands

the DWP informed me last year that women born after April 1954 would not receive their state pension until 65. I now have a letter stating that has now changed to women born after April ’ 53!

They also urged us to pay the shortfall in full NI contributions as otherwise we won’t receive full pension. This will affect thousands more women.

They are a law unto themselves and need bringing to account.

#20, Waywoodcringe, you BNPers that keep banging on about how other Britains are foreigners, as though you were the only true Brits, are composed of the saddest little untermensch scum that ever disgraced our country.

If Scotland becomes independant, can we have a vote to join them?

Waywood - said it in the past and repeat it, you are a bigotted racist who any decent Brit should shy away from. You are always cracking on about what you and your family did for this country. I doubt you;ve done most of what you say, you half witted facist oaf. Why don't you just shut up and go away....don't go away angry, just go away.

#15 and 16, springwood no amount of lies and general buffoonery could ever make me look sillier than Nick Griffin and the sad little bloke, Waywoodcringe, that supports him. I was trolling to get a rise out of Waywoodcringe, as he is enamoured of the cross eyed neonazi Griffin (or should I write Goldman?) :)

#13,Waywoodcringe, you don't know that Nick Griffin changed his name. He used to be called Nickolai Goldman. And he was an asylum seeker from the Ukraine. So I guess its shown you up for a gullible oaf for being a BNP member.

It's acceptable to make racist remarks about the Scots-they're white.
