ulster scots is a literal pretend language made up by unionists to try undermine policies regarding the provision of resources for teaching irish in northern irish schools, it has absolutely nothing to do with scotland

jBrereton posted:2) Gaelic was imposed on a small area of what is now but wasn't then Scotland by Irish settlers, and was briefly popular with the aristocracy, it isn't the ~ancient language of Scotland~ or anything. It's like Norman French in England. Its pretend revival along the west coast is great news for sign makers and character map experts, though. You could apply the same reasoning to English as well, its linguistic antecedents being imposed on various parts of what wasn't then but is now England by waves of Danish, Saxon, Frisian and Frankish settlers, colonists and conquerors. In parts of the west of Scotland, like the bit I live in, people of my grandfather's generation spoke gaelic as a first language and didn't speak their first words of english until they went to school. It's not just a language of aristocrats and academics around here, it was spoken by the common mass of the people here within living memory. It may not be the storied ancient language of the Scots, but people hardly accuse the English of playing pretend when they speak something other than High Middle Frisian or whatever.

God, as if the Westminster system of democracy was not enough of a baroque clusterfuck as it is  In retrospect I know nothing about your system except you call your unelected senate the house of lords, and you have the actual queen/king instead of a governor general e: something about the privy counsel forming because Charles II did all his minister consulting while on the shitter Nebakenezzer has issued a correction as of 21:43 on Oct 19, 2017 |

First Lord of the Treasury is pretty awesome title too. For extra Britishness, it's completely misleading as to what it does. Black Rod is snigger worthy for obvious reasons.
