The hypocritical Scottish?

Question

48% of the Scottish population wish to be 'freed' from Britain. All I hear is non stop whingeing and moaning from jealous Scots. They want to be free from Britain but don't want to give up the £20 BILLION GRANT they reacieve each year from our government which amounts to just over a thousand pounds per head.

Where's all the money going? It can't be going on education-you can't spell.

Answer 1

This is what makes Britain a wonderful place. Little islands, stuffed full of more than 60 million people who think wogs begin at Calais and Hadrian's Wall was built to keep the English out or the Scots in according to one's perspective.

For God's sake, enjoy your uniqueness as a diverse alliance of nations with a single Government and more history than most countries could cope with!

Britain is great because it is composed of four extraordinarily different nations. Scotland could not thrive on its own in the modern World - it has too few people and too few independent resources. The Scots would be much less affluent if they ceased to be part of Britain. The English meanwhile, might do better economically on their own, but culturally they'd be the losers.

English or Scot - keep your national identity, indeed make it stronger, but keep on being British too - in that lies your greatness.

Answer 2

I am more concerned by the fact that we have a Scottish government ruling England. Brown ,Blair et al. They are doing a dammned good job of destroying the country

Any person who votes for this lot next time is either-

An anarchist, a traitor, employed in the public sector, is on benefits or perhaps a feminist.

It's only the working class Scots who bang on about the English the others live here perhaps working as politicians or football commentators.

Answer 3

I'm a Welshman, who trained for my career in Scotland, and ended up using that training in England. So let's just clear one thing up. Scotland always has been, is now, and always will be FAR cooler than either England or Wales. I reckon the grant should work this way: we tax the Welsh for the presumption of bilingualism (which is gradually turning what should have remained a heritage language into a governmental language). Wales, by the way, is the most pretentious country I know, and should never have even been offered an Assembly (it chose it, eventually, after a govenrment sponsored campaign that cost millions of pounds, by 50.04%). Anyhow, tax the Welsh for this folly, give it to the English as "cool neighbour dues" - England, being cooler than Wales, deserves this money for not kicking the crap out of the little neighbour next door. The English get to keep 10% of this, and the rest gets funnelled straight to the Scots on the same principle of "Please cool neighbours, don't kick our heads in". That should shut the whining Sassenachs up about how they subsidise Scotland, Scotland can be as independent as it likes, and have drinking contests and poetry evenings with Ireland, with which it's traditionally been tied in terms of out and out coolness and creativity. Wales can stop pretending to be something it's not, and England can get on with hating Brussels instead.

Any questions?

Answer 4

Totally hypercritical! How dare they? I find their attitude totally juvenile and bitter. Why always look back and not forward? I know many Scots around where I live (in England!) and they are all the same. Whinge all the time that everything is better in Scotland and the English are idiots and life as a Scot is better. Well if its so great, go back to Scotland! We really do not need or want you here! We can do without you. Your Kilts, your accent, your crap humour and you inability to get over your stubborn pride. GO BACK TO SCOTLAND! WE DON’T WANT YOU!

Answer 5

I'm not sure if Danger Mouse is trying to make a feeble joke here but for his information the Scottish education system is far superior to the English by every measure available.

So they're probably more likely to know how to spell 'receive'.

Answer 6

Is this a wind-up? Of course we want to be free of you eejits. What about all the oil revenue england gets from us? We most definitely are NOT jealous of you moaning twats. We have a more beautiful country, better wit and sense of humour, nicer accents, better laws and a far superior education system. All we don't have better than you is our neighbours.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Answer 7

Just a minute. I pay £1100 a year council tax. I'm technically sponsoring a Scot. Can I have a picture of him or her to put on my wall?

My monies on Cinders.

I'm putting my hand in my pocket to sponsor paja
