Not noticed anyone discussing this issue, apologies if I missed it, but...

What does it mean for your Sport/Federation ?

Can the world of 'strength sports' avoid all this political bulls**t as much as possible, or would it have quite an effect ?

British Championships to be renamed '4 nations championships' etc... ?

Surely Scotland could not compete in a 'British' event ?

Has this been discussed by any fed's or governing body that you know of ?

Carlisle will rise up Crimea style and fight for independence as a Scottish warbling state. Hollyrood will agree to sending kilted madmen to teach the Carlislians how to "toss the caber".
Scotland will deny that they offered any assistance or crossed the border.
The English will struggle to prove the invasion due to the "freedom fighters" being clothed in an unknown clan tartan.
The Highland Games will push further and further south until each northern county rises up as a sovereign area. Geordies once again becoming Northumbria until eventually Game of Thrones is a reality.
The Clegane brothers will represent Strongman from the north and not only will there be no British powerlifting, there will simply be no time for powerlifting any more.

Posted the below question in another thread, but no takers so far -
Do we know if the SWL, Scottish part of the GBPF and every other sporting body will have automatic accreditation into their respective international governing bodies? Be a shame if people like Kirkbride can't lift in Europeans and Worlds etc because of this.

Also, GB will never win another curling gold medal again Unhappy




I'm working through a thread on MT about this. The implications are a little bit not small.

Brought a tear tae mah eye!

Also, you guys won't know all that much about the positives of independence because of the media blackout up here. It's quite frightening actually what has been lied about and twisted to make us look really bad, especially by the BBC. I'm going to ANOTHER march of protest about it tomorrow, where thousands of people will clog the city and travel to the BBC headquarters in peaceful protest. Once again, it wont be covered in the U.K. media.

This is actually what Scotland looks light right now
Feel free to skip to certain points through the video to get an idea of the scale of what is happening day after day in my country. This was today, it will be the same again tomorrow.
