Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland is the best friend of England?

Answer 1

I'm Welsh and have no beef with England. My other half is English and I love England as a place to visit, its really beautiful and the people are great.

What the hell happened in the past belongs there and doesn't bother me one bit. The "English" never really did anything to Wales other than the UK being governed from London.

Oh and I don't want Welsh "independence". Unless someone convinces me that it will provide a better standard of living, more jobs etc for Welsh people then I'm happy to stay as part of the UK. Not all Welsh people are small minded ranting bigots you know!

Answer 2

I don't think any of them particularly like us English people. I personaly wouldn't have a problem with letting the United Kingdom split up again. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland can join just Ireland.

Answer 3

I would say Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were all best friends and bully England

Answer 4

What a daft question and what daft answers. There are 2,958,600 people living in Wales, 5,094,800 living in Scotland, 1,724,400 living in Northern Ireland. There are 50,431,700 people living in England - a mix of all the above who have migrated to England. Mixed marriages between Scots, English, Welsh and Irish have been the norm for decades if not centuries!


The English in England would be perfectly happy for Northern Ireland to be independent, also Scotland and Wales. However, the citizens of Scotland and Wales should do their sums and work out how for example in Wales the taxpayers out of 2,958,600 are going to be able to finance their countries without the support of England once independent and no longer part of the Union?

The Northern Irish Protestants migrated mainly from Scotland so I find it odd that the Northern Irish Protestants want to remain part of the Union yet the Scots in Scotland do not!

The best way to sort this mess out would be to adopt the Greek system whereby voters return to their place of birth to vote. So all the Scots would go back to Scotland to vote, the English in Wales would vote in England and the Welsh in England would vote in Wales. The Northern Irish in mainland UK would return to Ireland, and the Southern Irish who are not part of the UK would not have a vote here.

Voting by computer will be the future for elections so the issue of travelling to your place of birth to vote would be easily overcome - assuming the civil service can come up with a secure computer system which actually works for a change.

This would stop political population engineering which we see increasingly.

. . . .and don't blame the English for today's mess - the current government is overwhelmingly full of Scots.

Answer 5

You can only use gut feeling and anecdotal evidence, but I would say, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, in that order.

Answer 6

It must be Northern Island. You often see British flags at their football games, plus they have the English national anthem as their own and ther flag is basically the same as the English .Scotland and Wales hate England, and with good reason.

Answer 7

its incredible reading some of this tripe. i live in Scotland and have many English friends. i work with them. i have an English son in law. i think some of you should stop reading the sun, and come up to see for yourself. having been brought up in England i find its you lot who have the very large chip on your shoulder. i was at a football match just recently where there were many banners celebrating the 1707 union i wonder if you lot can say the same

Answer 8

I would say Wales. They don't seem to mind being attached to England.

Answer 9

I'd say Wales, as they don't HATE us like the other two do - though there's still often no love lost. They all much prefer each other to England.

Answer 10

If you want friends, be one, and give Scotland and Wales independence, and sort out the Irish problem, which was created by England.
