Will Brits hate Scots if they become independent?

If Scotland decides to go independent do you think there will be an anti-Scottish feeling within England?

I didn't imply you or anyone in particular would, what I meant was do you think in general especially with certain types of people there will be a anti-Scottish sentiment, possibly stirred up by the media.

There's already enough negative stereotypes about them and "banter" around this. I doubt it would change.
Most Brits would probably laugh at how much they've screwed themselves over if they go independent. Either that or jump onto the sinking ship as soon as they can and convince themselves they're not drowing and that they "escaped the horrors of immigration and the EU".

Scots are Brits...

scots are top class

Currently yes, but if they became independent they would no longer be apart of Great Britain/United Kingdom so therefore could not be referred to as Brits.

Absolutely. We should rebuild Hadrian's wall and shoot any who try to cross!...only kidding. I daresay British people wouldn't particularly hate Scots if they left.

Us lot in the North of England might be a bit jealous of them, but other than that, I don't think they'll be much of an issue.
