The referendum on Scottish independence held on 18 September 2014 saw Scotland vote to remain part of the United Kingdom (UK), with 55% voting against the proposal for Scotland to become an independent country and 45% voting in favor.
And one of the big arguments for staying together was the possibility they might have to leave the EU. Luckily they didn't have to....until England once again made a decision on their behalf.
@@Satsujinki1973 It was a "once in a generation" thing. Maybe in another 10 to 20 years (or whatever a generation is) they'll hold another referendum and join the EU again
What a sad outcome it ended up being; Everything we dreaded happening because of us leaving the UK ended up happening to us anyway just because of Brexit. Now we're alone in the water with only England to cling to, and that's not a great prospect...
If the SNP had won the independence vote in 2014 you'd have been out of the UK and out of the EU. "Only England" to cling to is a rather odd way to say you're part of the world fifth biggest economy. And applying to join the EU would have taken years, possibly decades. Meeting the EU's financial stability and track record requirements would be a huge challenge, especially when your country doesn't even have its own currency or central bank. Not saying it would be impossible but it would be hugely challenging. Claiming you wanted independence "to stay in the EU" is a joke when leaving the UK would mean leaving the EU. Everyone, including the EU, said that. Only the SNP lied and claimed they could somehow magically "just stay in" the EU. They were literally campaigning to leave the EU. Independence, leaving the UK and the EU, having a hard border with your biggest trading partner and only land border, would have been an economic disaster, especially since the oil income all but vanished a year after the referendum. Plus, at the time this video was made the two previous UK Prime Ministers were Scottish! Scotland wasn't exactly an oppressed colony! This video also ignored the fact that Scotland chose to join the union. I think John's words about how the union happened were carefully chosen to avoid mentioning that. And "being a bit of a dick" could easily apply to Scots who, for example, banished the MacGregors and punished by death anyone for just having the name MacGregor.
@@karlbassett8485 I highly doubt they would've been forced out of the EU. And "Scotland chose to join the Union" doesn't apply when it happened over 300 years ago.
The fact that you decided to upload the episodes from the first 2 seasons is absolutely amazing. Godspeed to you John,you absolute fucking legend. All the way from Scotland!

@@forzaacmilan36 Don’t all the wizards call them muggles? it really hit me as an incredibly elitist classist book, but that’s probably all British Literature.
They *would* have left, if: 1. Teens (who would have been of voting age at the time of independence) had been allowed to vote 2. The election hadn't been manipulated by firms using BetterTogetger as a trial run for Brexit and Trump.
It's been ten years, and I still question if that was proper haggis. The reason being that it's actually illegal to sell lung meat for food meant for human consumption in the United States. Lungs that he puts _extra emphasis_ on being in the dish. Is that black market haggis, John? Did you defy USDA regulations for a bit?* Tell us the truth! *I would honestly respect you if you did. That's dedication.
As a previous employee of Olive Garden I will say I actually like their food. And the "Pots" they showed as boiling the pasta are not the pots that Olive Garden would use, rather they use larger commercial boilers, and salting those would severely damage the boiler, it's not just a pot that you can replace for a few dollars, it's a multi thousand dollar machine, and salting the water would destroy those machines quickly.
The nostalgia I felt when he said the hashtag was exactly 140 characters so they couldn't add anything. I miss those times, ngl. It truly has gone from a kinda shitty cocktail party to a complete garbage pile.
In hindsight, with would be better for Scotland to leave. But hey, at least from that whole situation and Brexit I learned a good piece of advice: If are together, try to stay together, if not possible, go separate ways. If are not together, think real hard about the term before getting together.
Scotland joined the Union because they bankrupted themselves trying to start their own colony in central America (look up the Darien Scheme) and needed English money to bail them out.
Not gonna lie, for a brief second there I was thinking, "Ope, better not leave that meat unattended on the desk right in front of that horse!" I'm pretty sure they're vegans anyway, but still, it was my first dog-owner's reflex.
27:00 For a second I was worried John was about to pull out a Fleshlight from under his desk, as he usually does when he discusses any silly product! Phew! I'm relieved he didn't!
I am surprised that only 68% of Scots wanted the oil money. Next time ask; “Do you want to be rich?” That way you could have gotten an even bigger yes vote. You won’t confuse anyone by using words that are longer than four letters!
So what I've gathered from this episodes is that the UK is only making nice because Scotland doesn't want to keep holding onto their nuclear weapons. Like a friend who just keeps leaving their drug car in your garage and telling you it'll be fine.
You missed to add that the lion that is paired with what is at 23:04 [IT IS NOT EVEN A THING] on the coat of arms of Britain looks away from it with ABSOLUTE DISGUST! 🤣
Olive Garden doesnt use pots to cook pasta. They cook it in a boiler, like a french fry fryer, only with water instead of oil. They use fry baskets, not pots. Dont ask how I know :)
Interesting to see how the last segment (on corporate social media) has aged - today we see corporations (and individual content creators) on platforms being harassed if they're not actively speaking out/taking sides on issues...
"Wow, a LWT segment on Scottish Independence ahead of the 2024 election!" *ISIS is marauding across the Middle East, here's current US president Barack Obama on the situation* "Oh, this is from the good old days."
I can't believe that Scotland remained in the UK. Especially after Brexit. Scotland could have had a huge touristic uprising if they didn't have to follow the absurdly stupid UK rules. I lived in France during that time and I always dreamed of travelling to Scotland. I wanted to have my honeymoon there but it was goddamn complicated after Brexit. One day I'll visit Scotland. One day.
As a half Scot, who was over there right before the referendum, praying Scotland would vote yes to leave. Was also there right after Brexit, and it was a *disaster!* every store we went to was abysmally out of stock for most products, because leaving the EU meant it was far more difficult for goods to be brought in 😬 There was just a huge lack of everything from produce to medication, and it was honestly scary. I couldn’t find PADS for my PERIOD until the 3rd fucking store we went to! 😰 Such a massive mistake, staying with the U.K unfortunately.

That verse was created in response to Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion, was never officially part of the song and, if it was used at all, it was only ever used during the 1745 Jacobite Uprising.
The curse of history, esp as I rewatched the Brexit one 2 days ago. Many "Stay Together" types had defended the vote by saying at least we have the benefits of the EU such as free mobility within Europe. Well, what did the Conservatives take away next? Within a week of the Brexit vote there were demands, of course ignored, to put the Scottish question back on the ballot.
For the last few years I forgot we even have a president. I was so used to hearing about Trump every day, that the relative silence had me convinced there was no longer anybody in charge of this dumpster fire.
Even if Scotland had left as a Welshman I guarantee we would not get to be a part of the new flag, and we have a Dragon on ours but apparently cant compete with England's flag which looks like a first aid kit
Hagias is delicious. I don't think there's a lot of organ meat in it. I'm not really sure but it's meat and barley mainly. And it's good. I've been to Scotland and I heard the stories. I was reluctant to try it but it's absolutely delicious.
