I think for once in history after years of oppression the outer regions of the UK are getting their own back and now England is experiencing the various injustices and inequalities that these countries have experienced in past centuries. Have we for instance all forgotten the Britoil affair ( Denis Thatcher etc) which pillaged the Scottish oilfields and returned little of their spoils to the Scottish coffers? Then there's all that business with the Duke of Argyll, the Clearances instigated by the English landlords, and many more societal and economic crimes.

''England'' has gained considerably from its past exploitation of its more peripheral peoples and Ireland. As for Northern Ireland, no one asked you lot to invade us and occupy our territory. You decided to do that all on your own. But right now I'm occupying yours, taking up space on your buses, and loving every minute.
