What is it with Scots and their insistence that English people have a superiority complex? Most English people hardly think about Scotland, there's not so much a superiority complex as a lack of interest. Yet a prevailing attitude we have from Scotland is simply one of bitterness and disdain for the English; as if there hasn't been a Union for over 300 years and there's some active discrimination against Scotland. The SNP in Parliament have no interest in working with the government on anything, they're just there to protest and criticise while doing a poor job of using their devolved powers at home by all accounts. I have no idea why Scotland voted to remain a part of the UK when I never see any actual enthusiasm for the UK as a whole, just a focus on what England isn't doing for Scotland, or how we've not considered their feelings on an issue when we're actually just one single national entity.
Tory MP complaining the UK Gov "Gave away" Edinburgh Castle to the Scottish Government

It's a minority thing, traditionally it was the Tory public school boys and rich establishment elite that got peoples backs up, personally I have no problem with these people. I was offered the chance of going to a fee paying school in my last year at school and it all sounded exciting, I never took it up though.
So a few embittered poison the masses.
It's based on jealousy and rebellion against authority and the old class system which doesn't really exist atm.

Doesn't really exist, have you seen the Government? The Judiciary? The accountancy firms? Law in general?
KPMG and Deloitte hire blind and there's a definite and pointless bias towards a certain section of society in other companies simply because they believe a school means something (hint: it doesn't)
Indeed i just pity these schoolboys, psychologically damaged from going off to boarding schools to be molded into the sociopaths that just eat away at any legitimate progress as society for the commons. What i don't pity are the bootlickers on their knees praising the crumbs these psychologically damaged individuals let loose from their corrupt vestibules.
I only resent not having the society we deserve.

Surely it builds competition and raises standards, people need a fight and too be incentivised especially when younger.

1. It's not just Scots who have come to this conclusion.
2. Have you even read the thread?
I would say Tories gonna Tory, but this seems odd even by their new standards. It seems they're hoping to ride the English Jingoism train for all its worth and increase their MP count in England, I can't see them returning any Scottish MPs in the next election.
If you think all 17+ million are bitter then there's not much point discussing this further because its nonsense, anymore than saying all Scots that want independence are bitter. There are absolute parallels to why Brexiteers and independence voters voted like they did.
Yeah I've read your posts. Simultaneously thinking we have a superiority complex while sitting on some moral high horse looking down on English people. Hilarious.

There's a general view of the English forming, and it's not flattering. It's not just Scots who hold that view, in fact many English people are aware of it and embarrassed by it.
I've been responding specifically to replies in this thread, from post #3 onwards and particularly posts #6 & #8. I'm sorry you don't like the view that others are forming, but really you're just shooting the messenger here.
Just so you know, we couldn't care less. Please vote to be independent next time.
By the way 1 million people in Scotland vote to leave the EU

It's tempting, but I enjoy the free prescriptions. Free university tuition for my eldest daughter. The free nursery hours for my youngest. No parking fees in our hospitals, no bridge tolls. No motorway tolls. The brand new M8, M74... The Aberdeen bypass. The list goes on...
You keep paying, and I'll keep voting no.

OOF, that'll do it.

I suppose at least people who voted for Brexit with the supposed projections that we'll be worse off financially value our independence over a few quid extra. I'd personally rather pay for a prescription than be governed by people I resent, but I suppose everyone has their price
