It appears the English have succumbed to the Scots ruling over them. Just count how many Ministers there are in this government who are Scottish. If we vote in the Tories or Liberals, will it be any different?

The Scots have their own parliament. No English allowed. Double standards.

An English Parliament would be pointless - England is too big to have a single regional government. At a sub-national level, what do people is say Cornwall, London and Newcastle have in common? More sensible to have English Regional Governments and get rid of the County Councils (although I suspect such a suggestion will start the UKIP/Euro conspiracy nuts off...).

And just how long have you been 'ruled' by the scots? You'll have an english government when us Scots get independence.
Patience is a virtue. You've been ruled by Blair for 10 years and have started moaning. we've had misrule from westminster for 30 times that.
typical. A mere smidgen on the buttho;e of UK history and you all start moaning. How would you like 300 years of the likes of Blair? That's what we have had to put up with.

You English would not survive without the Scots, just be thankful that we can tear ourselves away from our wonderful country and by our generosity keep you English out of the overcrowded poverty stricken existence that you would be reduced to without us.

When the Scots all pi** off back up north but considering that Gordon Brown has designs to be the next President-Emperor-Dictator for Life of the United Kingdom it won't happen anytime soon. They'd much rather screw up the whole Union than just limit themselves to their own parliament and country because they have more power in Westminster than in Edinburgh.

It's not their 'Scottishness', its their general level of education & moral authority.
I mean look at McCartney (I believe he's the Chairman of the Labour party), well a moderately educated working English man has more common decency in spadefuls.

Old William Augustus didn't go far enough after Culloden. Instead of just eradicating the highlands he should have put the whole damned nation to the torch.

It's payback for the English rigging the election that led to the Act of Union. You just have to learn to live with it.
