      I'm French and I've never been to Scotland but what we see from here is that Scotland doesn't seem to want to break the link with England. Now the UK is out of Europe (thanks God...they spend the past 30 years sabotaging the European project on behalf of the Americans) But what does Scotland really wants now ? Does Scotland wants to be part of EU or not ?

    • @andycap1188

      What the hell have the Americans got to do with it? Many people want out of the EU because they favour democracy, not autocracy. We have NEVER voted to be absorbed by the EU, which is typical of how the EU project has been run from the start.

    • @frankmaclow2709
      @frankmaclow2709 7 років тому +1

      Andy Cap because the US started to build the EU from scratch right after the second World war with the Marshall plan. At that time, they wanted a strong EU in order to trade with it but not too strong, especially politicaly. And that's where their English Friends came along. Churchill warned us from the begining : '' We are linked but not combined. We are interested and associated but not absorbed. If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.” which means the US. England spent the past 30 years sabotaging the European project on behalf of the Americans, blocking every single attempt to get closer with one an another. It's a good thing we finaly got rid of them

      @@frankmaclow2709 I understand your feeling, but I think you need to look more closely at American intentions which are often the opposite of what you're saying. Obama subtly threatened Britain that if we left the E.U. we would loose importance. The U.S. establishment wanted Britain to serve as Trojan horse for them, as the U.K. often is their junior officer in NATO and follows America in much of its foreign policy, and much else. Churchill was a man of the old Empire, and was under the delusion that there would be, (a) a United States of Europe, (b) Britain and its Empire, and (c) the USA, but with 'a' very subordinate to Anglo-American ambitions probably.

    I believe highly accomplished singers should be judged by the excellence of their performances. It isn't entirely fair to expect them to also be superb human beings. And yet some are. Julie Fowlis sings like an angel (if Gaelic angels exist) but is equally impressive for her beauty, her modesty, her intelligence and her pure spirit. Her soul is as lovely as her singing, and that is saying a lot.

      Zhubné nádory (iné názvy: malígny nádor, malígny/zhubný novotvar, malígna/zhubná neoplazma; rakovina, kancer, zastarano rak; lat. cancer) sú skupinou ochorení zahŕňajúcou útvary s abnormálnym rastom buniek s potenciálom invadovať alebo sa šíriť do iných častí organizmu. Nie všetky nádory sú rakovinou. Rozoznávame nádory malígne (zhubné) a *Ako ide život?* nádory benígne (nezhubné). Benígne nádory sa nešíria do iných častí organizmu a nezakladajú metastázy.
      Ako rakovina (kancer, rak, lat. cancer) sa v širšom zmysle označuje aj zhubné/malígne nádorové ochorenie, teda ochorenie resp. patologický stav prislúchajúce/-ci k alebo vedúce/-ci k vzniku zhubného nádoru.
      Slovo rakovina vzniklo pre podobnosť medzi prerastajúcim nádorom a klepetami raka. Aj v iných jazykoch sa používa táto podobnosť: lat./angl. cancer, nem. Krebs, rus. rak. Pôvodne sa slovom rakovina označoval len karcinóm.

      I agree. Julie is beautiful. And her accent (when speaking English) is especially beautiful. It reminds me of the English-language accent used by some of the Welsh people in ua-cam.com/video/U0bgSbJUBG0/v-deo.html “The Welsh Knot (24th October 2010)”
      . (A Celtic-language--influenced accent in both cases?) Btw, early on in this Julie Fowlis video, it describes widespread negativ attitudes toward Scotch Gaelic. Yes, attitudes that people wer propagandized into holding. Yes, such negativ attitudes ar just linguistic discrimination, a practise which i definitely don't like. In my mind, discriminating against languages is about as justified as discriminating against people, particularly since the two types of discrimination ar closely related.

    Celtic languages were spoken once from Galatia in Anatolia to the British Isles. St Jerome who translated the scriptures from Hebrew to Latin, commented that the language spoken in cis-alpine Gaul was the same as the one spoken in Galatia which was 2500 miles to the east. I am presently living in Rhode-island on the east coast, and finding NB many old place names to be in Gaelga. Ie Monadnock, Means solo rock in Irish. Tiogue, a village in Ri, means the new house. Another village called usque- Pauge , means the water of life There are numerous examples in New England, pre-dating any recent arrival of Irish. ScotsGaelic was once spoken in North Carolina as a result of immigration from the highlands of Scotland.Go Raith maith agut Gaelga na hAlban.

    Cultural repression is such a trend for particular generations all over the world. The British empire did this to Africans, Native Americans and South Americans. Wherever they went, with their instrument of oppression the Catholic Church missionary, people were punished for speaking or adhering to customs of their indigenous culture. Thank goodness people prevailed and many of these beautiful cultures are blooming again!! Sláinte Mhaith!!

    I know that language dynamic. My father was a native Italian speaker, my mother wasn't. But she decided that we were in America and needed to speak English. So although I could have been bilingual Italian, my mother wouldn't allow it. She shushed my dad & made him speak English around the house. Sigh. This frustrates me to no end. But I think that was the trend at the time.

      Jerimiah brought the Israelite princess to Ireland to fulfill the prophecy of keeping the Royal line of David. The red chord that surrounds the Royal flag of Scotland has the significance of being used to distinguish the twins that were fathered by Judah when he was seduced by Tamara on the road to meet his sheep shearers. She knew the Royal line had to be kept pure and not be polluted by Judah's youngest son,whose mother was from the wrong lineage.
