I don't like a lot of the stuff people bang on about with the engladers.
I mean sure, banter is one thing but some folks seem to well hate them. Not sure why, unless a specific englisher was a shit to them but still, seems a bit extreme to hate all of them.

This and more this.

Except for people called Nigel.

Parents can be so cruel.

as I said in teh last thread
I was indoctrinated into disliking England when I was a wean. Even now, with an English mother and a cut-glass English accent, I can't identify myself as English, and I won't actively support English sports teams.

It really is a good example of how these things get ingrained in you. saying that, every Scottish person in my family has married an English person, so they can't be all that bad.

I don't go so far as to do the whole 'Anyone But england' thing at sporting tournaments
but I'm not English, any more than I'm russian.

your life though, identify with what you like.

But you're half English, right?
That's surely more than you are Russian?

I
was never indoctrinated. I have no probs with English folk, most of whom are lovely.

I maintain, however, that nobody born in Scotland is named Nigel, unless they have English parents.

The cunts.

I don't think it's exactly that.
it's more that the Daily Record brigade blame England for the shortcomings of their own country. England makes a great scapegoat that way, but I bet we'd go the way of Zimbabwe if we got independence.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 16 May 2012, 22:21, Reply)

i think that changing the lyrics of your own national anthem to show that you hate the english
is a perfect example of hating england more than you respect your own country
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Wed 16 May 2012, 22:25, Reply)

Whereas teh English (and, technically, British) national anthem
has an official verse about hating the scots. Admittedly it's never used in public occasions, but it's still part of teh song.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 16 May 2012, 22:27, Reply)

i don't think that's the same thing at all, is it?
surely that just indicates that england used to be institutionally racist, which is pretty much a seperate thing entirely? although i guess it does mean that they used to hate the scottish at least as much as they respected their own country. it doesn't mean that they hated the scottish more than that though, as far as my calculator can work out.
( Sir Sand GOBLIN ^popular page dis, Wed 16 May 2012, 22:28, Reply)

to be fair, my racism calculator is a bit faulty.
i guess this is because it was made in *insert country of choice*

Anybody
that reads the Daily Record deserves sympathy.

Don't think for a minute that we'll vote for independence. It's just that we are a bit left of Englandshire and hate the way the Labour Party have gone "Tory-lite."

Hence SNP.

Last thing we need is more parochial nonsense, though.
