Firstly, i would like to point out that 'blair and brown and all the other scots who govern the uk are destroying england' is an unfounded remark whose sole intent is to incite racial disharmony in this forum. otherwise, why did you phrase it so? you could easily have said '...are destroying britain/uk'.
i'm not commenting on the rumours and hearsay. that's all bollocks.
but i will comment on your points about the free education and free health-care. before you make accusations and judgements on these, please note the following:
Education became compulsory for all children in scotland from the implementation of the Education Act of 1872 onwards. As a result, for over two hundred years Scotland has had a higher percentage of its population educated at primary, secondary and tertiary levels than any other country in Europe. the programme of universal education in Scotland began in 1561, in england it began in August 1833. So not only does education in scotland have nothing to do with the present government, it never has had anything to do with it .
The NHS in Scotland has always been a separate and distinct body from the NHS systems in other parts of the United Kingdom; it was founded by the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1947. the NHS in england was formed the following year. Healthcare policy and funding is the responsibility of the Scottish Executive. The chief civil servant in the Scottish Executive Health Department is also chief executive of NHS Scotland. So once again, not only does this have nothing to do with the present government, it never has had anything to do with it.
our prescription and nhs dental fees are the same as englands'.
rebel if you like. but wouldn't it be prudent to get your facts straight before you do?

When will you ignorant lot realise that this country DOES NOT CHOOSE THE PRIME MINISTER!! In the UK, we vote for a party member to send them to Parliament. The PARTY chooses the leader of the PARTY, and if the PARTY gets a majority of seats the PARTY leader becomes PRIME MINISTER. Simple enough for you? No one who votes in this country has EVER chosen the Prime Minister. Gordon Brown is not an exception. And there's no such thing as a 'Scotchman.' Scotch is whisky. Funny how no one used to moan about having a Scottish (note the spelling, love) Prime Minister when Tony Blair was running the country downwards. What, you never realized he was Scottish? Oops. Born in Edinburgh, educated in Edinburgh, Scottish ancestry. At least as Scottish as Brown. If you think there's an Englishman who could do a better job, would you like to explain why he or she isn't currently challenging for the leadership? 'Pity England, if she never had Scots to think for her.' George Bernard Shaw

Look folks, you've accused us poor wee timorous beasties of quite a few things here. Many I have to admit are true. Scotland has been a solid labour power base for many decades and the pinheads in government know this. You don't have to be a political genius to be aware of it and to keep the troops happy. I have believed most of my life that I know why Scots vote this way but, unfortunately, giving my reason would get me a swift violation from Yahoo!. Just one complaint though. Please,please do not classify that pillock Blair as being Scottish. Have you ever heard him admit it? He was born there, went to Fettes which is more English than Scottish and took A Levels not Scottish Highers. This probably means his history was English orientated and after leaving has spent his whole adult life in England, Oxbridge, English constituency, south of England homes etc. Brown we will take with reluctance but please have his boss!!!

So far I heard Scots cribbing against English. This is the first time I heard other way round. There never will be an end to this eternal feud between English and Scot!

Some Scots would say that the English Thatcher destroyed Scotland in the 80s and 90s. Perhaps it is tartan revenge.
However I do think that if separate parliaments are OK for the Welsh and the Scots, then England should re assert itself too.

In the early 1990's, when Blair and his Scottish cohorts were in chambers, a plot was hatched, by them, to destroy England and the English race. the Godfather then, of course, was John Smith, another Scotsman, who unfortunatelydied. Fortunate though for the toady little guitar player who did the dirty on Brown and leapt into Smith's shoes! You can now see why his communist wife, with the letter box mouth, was the force behind the Human Rirhts Act in this country. It enabled the Legal Profession, through Blair and his Mafia, to rule and ruin England by the sueing culture which has since dominated every facet of our lives. Incidentally, why is Blair ashamed to admit to being Scottish-his grandmother distributed Communist leaflets on the streets of Glasgow, so I guess he felt honour-bound to marry a Commie! In answer to those Scots who talk about years of repression, much of this was carried out by their own aristocracy-only recently the Duke of Sutherland thought it unfair that the Crofters on his land would be allowed to buy the crofts at last. The Scots are very like the Muslims-how often in history did the different clans try to annihilate each other, just as the Muslims are doing in Iraq. They live in the dark ages. Just a few years back we were in the South of Scotland, in the countryside ,and passed a fence with dead crows and dead moles nailed all along-has anyone told the Scots that animals can't reason like humans, and wouldn't understand? With the hatred coming from there these days it it will soon be English people nailed on fences, so my advice is-leave the ghastly country to it's ghastly people and send all Scots back. Their souls are as bleak as their country. The Scottish Mafia are carrying out their own ethnic cleansing of the English race.

Blair is a Jock too...
This is age old...
The Jocks still get the vote because 'New Labour' know its a vote for them, as opposed to fairly ruling them OUT of english issues either by removing their power on ENGLISH ONLY issues or having a English Parliament and then a combined for UK Issues.
Either way, They are punished enougth with the 'Ginger Gene', their football team, the fact we keep nicking their oil and the Krankees....
(New Labour gave Jocks n taffs their parliament / assembly.
P.s We STILL PAY FOR THE SCOTS SHORTFALLS IN GOVERNMENT as well.... tutt tutt)

Blair/Brown are in the British Parliament, therefore legislate on British and English matters. The other issues with free care and uni fees are things we, the Celts, decided for ourselves, and therefor pay for ourselves, (these being devolved from the UK parliament). As for voting on English-only matters, well, the reverse went on for about 400 years before devolution when Scottish matters were decided by English MPs. Why didn't any of your 'Little England' mates complain then?
P.S. - learn to spell.

I find your question and comments racist. You are suggesting that Scots become second class citizens in their own country. Well get lost.
However, I would encourage the English to rebel and declare your independence. the sooner the better.
