isn't the unicorn in the royal seal and all over The Prodigy's website the symbol of the Scottish Royal family?

The simple reason is that we all need each other.
I think there would probably be more English in Scotland/Ireland/Wales than the other way around, look at Edinburgh...hardly any Scots hereDoctorFruitloop wrote:
Picture this, you don't want the English in your country in any way. Okay, we'll get out of your country, and throw all of your citizens out of ours. No more Irish builders in London, all the Scots back up above the wall, kick all the illegal immigrants out (although that one's gonna be difficult because our wonderful government doesn't know how many there are let alone where the hell they're holed up).
Sometimes you give us a reason to bad mouth you, but the majority of people take it as friendly craic. As for money...I believe the majority of oil/gas passes through Scotland to feed the rest of the UK, if we seperated then Scotland can levy charges against these resources passing through its land. Also dont the English rely on water from Scotland (we have our fair share of rain ) to offset your water bans. Im not having a dig, just raising points you might of missed...DoctorFruitloop wrote:
We'll pull right out of Scotland, and all the money generated by your masive population is sure to keep your country living in the lap of luxury.
Do you get the picture now. It's all too easy to say "We hate the English", but you'd miss us if we were gone!
Also mon the Murray!!!
1 = Agree, 2 = Agree also, Not just the English though, there was an incident in Edinburgh where a wee kid was wearing and England top and some scummy guy lamped him of, just for wearing an England top, thats just not on. Fair nuff having a bit of banter with someone your own size but picking on a wee kid, that boils my blood. I think we (the UK) have become a soft target, we are so busy accomadating everyone else (immigrants etc) that we forget about our wants. PC gone MAD!! Not allowed to say blackboard, cant sing Bah Bah Black Sheep. What next. I have nowt against decent immigrants who want to come here and make an honest living, id rather have them than Uk spongers.spastic bullet wrote:
I've already stated my views on this topic (mostly as responses), which are:
1. Scotland are not sponging gits; it was their North Sea Oil that kept the UK from going bankrupt in the 70s and still subsidises the UK economy to a significant extent today; and
2. It's a shame for ordinary English people who want to be able to express their Englishness without being called racist. I think it would be a good thing if they had a kind of devolved parliament of their own for solely English matters. To which I would append...
Yeah the Scottish team suck Go Rugby Union!!! Ok we'll keep our fried food but please take Madonna!spastic bullet wrote:
The Scots, Irish and Welsh can afford to be over the top with it because they have no perceived outward aggression in their recent history. You are not so lucky. But you are lucky in other ways. Like getting to go to World Cups and actually watch your team. Bah.
I have no strong opinions on whether the UK should stay together because I don't live there any more, and don't plan to again any time soon. Break up into seventeen thousand tiny gerrymandered statelets of varying legitimacy for all I care, just keep sending your best music and TV shows. You can keep your food, though. And Madonna.
