I'm glad I've left England
25 years of living there and constantly being reminded I didn't belong there.

Anyone who says England isn't racist or is much better than it was in the 70s and 80s must be English and never been on the receiving end.

I've lived here for 20 years and I'm still amazed at the ingrained sense of superiority that they have, in spite of there being nothing to evidence it.
No wonder Scotland want to separate themselves. I also reckon that a reunified Ireland might happen in the next decade or so, partitioning never works and if the Brexit shit continues there could easily be a resumption of the Troubles.

You've hit upon an accidental truth there.
The 45% who supported independence (in 2014) certainly do think of themselves as Scotland, in its entirety. And if you reckon they don't have an equally misguided ingrained sense of superiority, you've been out of Scotland for too long.

I read that BoJo is considering giving non-resident Scots the right to vote in an IndyRef2, in the hope that they'll vote No, because living in England/Wales/NI obvs means they truly value the Union.
I'm not so sure he won't end up with egg on his face if he follows through on that.
