"You people need to free Scotland and Ireland. England needs to quit meddling."

Scotland is free! In what way are we not? The debate over Scotland's future is basicall an internal debate within Scotland. The people of Scotland will decide whether they remain within the union or leave it. Either way it is a free choice. You seem to suggest that it is the English who would decide whether we should or shouldn't be in the union. Catch up. They don't get a vote on the issue unless they physically live in Scotland.

One could argue that the unionist majority in Northern Ireland is a gerrymandered majority but again things have moved on. Referendums in Northern Ireland and the Republic backed (overwhelmingly the case in the Republic) the idea that what happens to Northern Ireland status is up to the people of Northern Ireland and no-one else. Why the need to blame the English for everything? Incidentally I would also use that argument in defence of Americans. It is absurd to castigate modern Americans for what the Pilgrim Fathers did or didn't do :-)
