Im from Scotland and I find excluding Scotland to be an odd premise. Im also curious to the logic given the only part of the uk that doesn’t have some form of devolution is England why single out Scotland.

The other part of the post im not a huge fan of is no exceptions. There are lots of reasons people can be excepted mostly around health.

When I tried to joined the armed forces at 16 I was told to piss off because I use an inhaler. The example they gave your in a situation you need a gas mask and take a bad attack I can die because I couldn’t take my inhaler or I could die because I took off my mask

Is it hyperbolic yes. Did it get the point across also yes.

I thought America had the greatest army in the world and didn’t want out help anyway

I’m not revising anything its a shitty thing to do and it should all be returned. It was just a thought with a beer given how volatile some of the areas where the stuff comes and yes I know most of them ended up volatile because of colonialism.

That’s an interesting point. While I agree it’s kinda shitty the UK nicked everyone’s cool stuff and shoved it in 1 building. I’m willing to bet if we hadn’t the number of pieces that would be lost to time would not be zero
