The Scots provided the brains that built the British Empire. The English provided the cannon fodder. It was ever thus. if the scotch were so clever how come Sturgeon is not Empress of the British Empire? Because she does not come in a bottle and the British Empire is no more..

I always used to support the Scots until I was about 14 or so when I released how much they disliked us for no apparent reason, although their diet may have something to do with it. I still sort of support them now for reasons I would find hard to explain. "For no apparent reason" you need to look up your history. Lowland Scots are todays Unionist's in Northern Ireland another tale that can be told. OK, so we cleared a few Glens out. But that was a long time ago now and everyone makes mistakes. And I know they have all that stupid stuff going on in more recent times. But I blame The Pope (and all that entails), Ian Paisley and his Bowler-Hatted brethren and of course Thatcher for that.
