Scotland Doomed

[Gibbous Moon]

Two articles in the Scotsman today (not noticeably owned by the state so probably unbiased enough to wrap your chip supper in) reporting that Scotland’s population grew by the largest amount since the baby boom and that Scots are the third happiest nation in Europe.

The population of Scotland stands at 5.14m, and is expected to rise to 5.37m over the coming decades. The key driver of population is growth is migration from outside the UK.


Scotland ranks behind Switzerland and Denmark, with an average satisfaction of 8.06 out of 10. Analysts cite our community and family focus as reasons to be cheerful.

If anyone fancies joining us in the People’s Democratic Republic of Shangri La I’d be delighted to put in a good word for you with Mr Chang.

Yours cheerfully,

:D

Oh,and I did also see where the clan also has it's own whiskey line as well..

Now, that's style - a scotch with the family name on it - that alone should be a good reason to visit there, one of these days...

F*** visiting there. Get a bottle or two. My family comes from Mull, and Tobormory is the greatest scotch in the world. It's an Island scotch...and for those in the Know, that's a salt-water scotch.

:lol:

5 million !!!

What happened? They all migrate over here??

That's more than NZ, at any rate - just...

Less than Victoria;

Less than Georgia;

Less than Israel;

Less than New South Wales..

Less than London.

The key issue is that Scotland was de-populating until the recent EU expansion. As a people, and as a nation we are not viable without immigration/EU migration.

A cynic might take the view that too many people are voting with their feet.

not that i'm cynical or anything...

It's a favourite of mine. A nice drop.
