“If your biggest claim to fame is your nationality you’re in trouble” even as someone who’s very patriotic about his country I must agree with that statement. What we do as individuals defines us even more, a nation is a collection of individuals that have something in common, not a collection of clones.
Billy is a true legend. It's such a shame to see what he's going through. An absolute genius with a massive heart.
I was in the scouts for nine years and we went to Scotland a few years ago, up to the Cairngorms, absolutely beautiful place, i found the landscape very similar to Ireland but also different, lots of stone bridges and much bigger mountains. We went skiing, not something you can do here, and spent about four days there, I've wanted to go back ever since, do some more exploring. There's some Scots here, funny people, i went to school with two twins from Aberdeen, and i swear to god, they were the embodiment of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, identical twins, red hair, they had great energy and would laugh their arses off at everything you told them.
I’m from Aberdeen and people always forget to visit Aberdeen when they come to Scotland they just normally visit Glasgow and Edinburgh. So when you do come back to Scotland please visit Aberdeen, Inverness and the Highlands and Islands because we have some breathtaking scenery. We’re a friendly bunch and we would give you our shirt off our backs if we had to. Not sure who would win a drinking contest out of the Scots and Irish😂😂.
A true Scot for self determination!
"If you're going depend on your Scottish nationality to get you along, you're in deep trouble" - ironic that's basically the premise of Janey Godley's entire 'career'.
An iconic Scottish legend actor and comedian Billy Connolly. 🏴
not just a comedian, a philosopher too... he hits so many nails on the head i can't keep up with counting them...
He is so cool. 🙄 His voice is sublime. Always makes me laugh.
Love Scottish people !
A man who is hard not to luv, u kno..❤
He articulates how I feel about class and immigration. Love this man.
what a beautiful video. thank you
Saor Alba
I love this man
The last bit is especially nice
Independence for Scotland!!!
It's an irrelevance.
@@finnkdy Uhm... You should tell it to BBC
All praise Billy
Viva Scosha 🤗
Aboslote lenged,keep me and my mother hours off entertainment when tyms were Hard😇
The irony is theres very few public figures have exploited there nationality more than BC. He's hardly lived a life of trouble off the back of it.
You missed the point of what hes saying. Being scottish doesnt define who he is. If all you've got is I was born on this side of an imaginary line on a map... I've just seen your username forget it.
@@jamesroyle6888 Don't you just love it when people type replies like that on the internet.
We all know you didnt just notice my username. That was the whole point of your reply. So you could knock us all out with your witty punchline.
Here's a small tip...That approach might work in RL but its lame as fk on the internet. haha
@@cmcc3721 you've changed that username though haven't you lol.
Small wins still count.
All the best
@@jamesroyle6888 Only changed because it appeared as such on gmail emails which required an air of authenticity for work purposes. Yip.
UK out of EU, becomes little England.
Support Scotland and Northern Ireland independence, to have their own choices.
Why’s everyone acting like there wasn’t a vote in 2014? The UK literally let the Scottish people decide on this and not even 7 years later the sore losers and anyone who thinks they know what they’re talking is now crying about it, get a grip the vote would turn out more or less the same as the one that happened a few years ago. Take it from Scot 🏴🇬🇧.
“Let’s just keep having votes till it goes the way we want it then we will never have a vote on it again”
@@spoopify5560 Your right it’s not the same UK, our economy has grew vastly, we have complete control of laws, borders and trade agreements. Countries like with big economies like, USA, Singapore and India all have the UK in priority for trade agreements over the EU, we finally have an effective country that isn’t being “puppeted” by a massive entity which is barely effective.
So your completely right it’s not the same UK, it’s a better one. “Hey our countries improving let’s split it up because people in Scotland were mis-fed information during a 2016 referendum, they were lead to believe their economy would collapse, when in reality the direct opposite thing has happened”.
There are no grounds for a referendum, wait for the election and watch how much votes the SNP lose by compared to the previous election. If the SNP somehow win a majority in Scotland, then Indyref2 will have to happen as the Scottish people have chose it, but they won’t win a majority because they are a useless party that are only good at talking on tv.
Don't forget the Welsh 🏴.
Agreed from your neighbours in Ireland.

The Scots I've known are very individualistic. So Billy saying you're in trouble if you make yourself famous for your nationality is actually a very Scottish attitude.
Hi Feel Sorry For The Man That Here's The Pipes And Was a Born In Scotland
what?
If Richard Dawkins was Scottish!
Janey Godley being on this film is nothing short of a disgrace.
you can't support celtic and be Scottish, that's just a fact
Actually, you are British
Scottish. Just like there are English, Welsh and Northern Irish.
