Thread Name: BS: Scotless
Subject: RE: BS: Scotless
Eliza, the Highland clearances were carried in some places by Scots albeit at an Englishman's command. Culloden was a fight between Scots and Scots although again there was an Englishman and a Dutchman at the helm and an Italien Prince masquerading as a Scot. And in most posts the comments are all anti Scots and again, as an Englishman living in Scotland for over 30 years, the majority of Scots are great. I don't hear the equivalent insults of deep fried mars bars or men in skirts or all the usual jibes made against the Scots.
Forget the insults, fellow Englishmen/women. If you don't like the idea of Scotland being independent, forget it and wish them well. My relatives in England think it's a good thing and are not concerned about their grandchildren becoming foreigners .. they already have other grandchildren in Australia and Canada.
