70% of English dont like the Scots

Speaking as a Scot who thinks himself British firstly and Scottish secondly, i dont blame them.

Oh and i probably dont like 70% of Scots - frankly i hate the country - but following on from a discussion on a thread yesterday about the state of our nation ( thats u.k) im unsure if my dislike is towards Scotland or towards Great Britain currently.

As i often say to my wife Scotland is the ar&&hole of the world

Oh and if Scotland becomes independent - im outta here and over that border - trust me and my economics degree, it wont work!

I agree with Markiec in terms of the economic issues, and that is why it is highly unlikely that Scotland will probably never become independent. Thats why it did not happen in the past couple of decades when it was wanted then. Scotland does bring in revenue for the British Government, oil, whisky, salmon, tourism. thats why scotland has never been given independence, because Scotland would want to take all the tax from those industries and others that contribute to the British economy.  Don't get me wrong I left Dundee when I was 18 and have lived and worked in London almost..err well just over half my life, but also went back to scotland and worked, been paid off, back to London, back to scotland worked paid off, back to London still here since 93.

Been to France aswell, bloody dont like them, and Wales and thats another story, England fine, I have some good mates here in london, english, irish, aussies etc, etec...Oh and some guy called Bob.dent from Hoddesdon...hes a kule dude ........only because he sleeps in the fridge though

ANYWAY I COULD GO ON BUT WON'T, HOWEVER, THE POLL CARRIED OUT  WAS ON THE BORDERS BUT WHAT BORDER/ WALES/ DOVER, AND WERE THEY ENGLISH AND NOT HUNGARIAN OR EUROPEANS, AND WHAT % AND HOW MANY DID THEY POLL. IT IS CLEARLY INACCURATE, AS MOST POLLS ARE/SURVEYS ARE, TRUST ME I KNOW THIS ........ 8-)  

Hey there Mick! Mind your blood pressure! You start out like a Times editorial and end up like Mr ANGRY!!!  

  ..Don't have blood pressure problems, at least not that I know of, a beer a day keeps the pressure away

It's true aparantly.  I've just heard on Border News that in a poll about Scotland becoming independent of the UK, 70% of English people wished them luck.  

Be careful what you say - I think us ENGLISH are outnumbered by the SCOTS (and ex-scots) on here....

That's true. I've counted at least 6 Scots on here - more than a match for 500 or so English  

'mon the Jock's

Really don't want that too happen, as if it did, the English would'nt have any armed forces left, as there mostly made up of Scotsmen

[Martin_1962]

As someone who is officially not English but British (a hidden immigrant of the huge group never mentioned) I don't care much for all the petty squabbling between the different parts of our country. In international sports I wish any British drivers luck.

TBH I don't know what I am - parents are Cornish, grand parents, 2 Cornish, 1 Devon, 1 Midlands. I suppose I could claim Cornish, British or Maltese.

This is where I was born

[Big Rod]

the narrow mindedness and deep rooted non changing oldies and the religious nonsense is rife

Quite agree Jock! That and the chip on the shoulder that seems to come from Scottish nationalism!!

BTW, if Scotland did become independant, we'd have a convoy(ette) of Omegas travelling south across the border!!

Fancy Italy myself!
