Re: Obamas not invited to wedding

The union is to be dissolved? Yay!
As an honorary Scot, I have waited for this day. No offence to the English but we are very happy to run our own affairs north of the wall. You may peek over the wall on a clear day, but that's as far as you get.
Having told us that it is going to happen, would you tell us when?
At least all those many, many people who keep incorrectly saying the "queen of England" will finally be correct.
Louis Epstein - after the event, would you choose to be a subject in the Kingdom of Scotland or the Kingdom of England. It is unlikely that either will be absolute monarchies.

Perhaps he was forecasting the dissolution of the Union
prior to the prospective Accession of William V.
