you could not be more wrong. the Scots dont mind the English and to see this all you do is have to go north of the scottish central belt region and see that a very large majority of small business are run by English people who are fed up with the way England is going and want a more relaxed way of life, almost every petrol station, cafe or hotel i walked into while on holiday 'up north' was being run by an English person.
the Scots dont hate the English we hate being told what to do by Westminster and having to come begging for our money to look after our affairs but after watching a program on the tv the other night i fear that there is a big hatred of the Scots by the English population who think that we are scroungers when in fact it's not the case, its the endless spending of Westminster that has got the UK into so much debt that the cost of living is getting out of hand.
Scotland asked to stay in the UK but look after our own taxation, duty and monies but still pay into the UK funds such as the forces etc,etc and were refused so the only logical solution was independence.
do you think for one tiny second that if Scotland were costing Westminster more money that they were getting out there would be so much fuss about the coming vote... ermmm no they would be cheering us on.
there is a looooot more at stake in the independence of Scotland than meets the eye but one of them might just be the devaluation of the GBP due to the BOE possibly dropping down the credit rating ladder.
if the United Kingdom really was united why do we still have a BOE dictating out currency and not a Bank of the United Kingdom with a United Kingdom currency...
