Ah yes, the North of England, that ill defined area. People who support it there do so out of spite at Cameron which is pure fickleness from anyone using him as a reason to vote Yes.

Implying that England controls Scotland by saying the other two countries don't. 1+1=2 and all that.

Err, I have never done that on this thread, any other thread or any other forum.

A quick look through my involvement in this thread will show you that.

Is this what our "progressive Scotland" will look like? A nation of bitter xenophobes who blame everything on anyone but themselves?


You know the vast majority of people in Scotland are not like this. I'm surprised you responded to his point tbh as most people would have paid no attention to it.

LISTEN TO YOURSELF!! If who votes for it? SCOTLAND NEVER VOTED HIM IN! Hence several people wanting to leave the UK. Had it been up to Scotland he'd never have taken much power at all really in the first place, but it isn't up to Scotland, it never is. Let us flee from the rest of the UK and start living in a democracy whereby our votes actually reflect the party in power.


Well over half of Scots didn't vote SNP but have them in government. Care to explain that, genius?

Disagree, I would say the majority of Scots have made equally stupid comments at one point or another. In fact, I got called an English **** for supporting my ice hockey team in Kirkcaldy a few months ago.

'Why would a Yes voter mention Wales or NI when they don't control us?'

Look at the voting patterns in London itself and be prepared to look stupid.

That's quite a big accusation to make which i'm willing to wager has no credibility.

'It's not about England v Scotland'

I completely agree.

Thanks for making it clear though!

great :smile: so what if I don't like England? In case you haven't noticed, nobody likes England. If England was better for Scotland economically and politically then hell yeah I'd want to remain part of the union, but they don't. That simple. We've had an effect on a general election three times EVER. We had to endure Thatcherism, destroying our industry. We do not get to control our oil. Our economy suffers. So, as a Scot, I will vote in the best interests of my country - for independence. It's been nice, goodbye :wink: .


There you go, bigotry feels good. Scotland wasn't the only area to suffer under Thatcher so save me the violin.

Please don't tar the majority of Scottish people simply because of a few idiots.

Who says that I thought you were making this up? I believe you're ice hockey anecdote

What I don't buy into is you're comment "I would say the majority of Scots have made equally stupid comments at one point or another."

I'm willing to bet this is bullocks

Sorry, even though the majority of Scots are not as crude as that poster they express stereotypes and Anglophobia nonetheless. I've lived here long enough to know what is unacceptable to say about one group of people is 'banter' when it's aimed at English folk.

Er no, the vast majority of Scottish people do not express "Anglophobia" stereotypes. I really want you to provide evidence for this assertion that we do though.

First I've ever heard the word "anglophobia" too

But most Scots voted SNP and so Alex Salmond is first minister. Most scots dod not vote tory yet David Scameron is prime minister.

Using the phrase "majority of scots" isn't smart or funny. Its immature. You know fine well the SNP got the most votes in the scottish elections.

Most Scots, ie over half, did not vote SNP. That is a fact.
