Perhaps you could explain what flag was the official flag of the USSR and what is the official flag of the FedR?

Which flag do you think is flying at a venue near me?

Ha ha! That's funny too. Too funny, even. Females getting no prerogatives? What's that got to do with the price of fish or Scotland?

For that matter what has "failed states" got to do with it?

Quite a lot. If a state cannot convince its population to stay in it, then it is hard to avoid the term 'failure'. Scotland leaving the union is a frightful proposition to Westminster for many reasons, but one of them is the shame of failing to keep the state together. Quite relevant to this thread. At least I think so. Perhaps other posters won't agree.

Well nobody else is posting here probably because they know the moray is lurking and ready to pounce.

You still haven't answered my question although you are increasing your post count admirably in the process of being as evasive as Mr Dewlaps.

Now, now. Perhaps if your questions weren't framed in such a personal manner, then others would join in. Here you have commented more on my ethnicity and gender than the issues to hand.

Do you want to discuss the Scottish referendum or not?

Come, come. Let's all sing together!

No love lost between Scotland and the RofUK - doubt they'll be singing.

"It won't. Unlike the one currently flying at a venue near you."

This was the beginning of your sidetrack. I was asking about how the Scottish referendum would affect the union flag. You appeared to making some suggestions about my flag.

Now, before the thread is totally derailed, let's get away from gender, and back to Scotland. What would the arguments be for retaining the union flag when/if that union is broken? Wouldn't it be like wearing a wedding band after a divorce?

That was in response to your own remark so you are being disingenuous and I hope you have the good grace to know it.

And I would refer the honourable member to the answer I previously gave to this question.

I'm having difficulty following your remarks - even without the lacings of misogyny. I hope other posters can contribute to an interesting question on an interesting thread.

They will need to because I am not continuing when someone accuses me of something and when challenged refuses to either prove it or admit they were incorrect.

You have a habit of only answering questions you might just have an answer for but not those where you are plainly in the wrong. Not a good trait in my book.
