I feel enlightened after reading this thread. I'm American but my family history is supposedly a mix of scotch, Irish, Welsh.
Also, I read this entire thread with an accent in my head.

And here we go! Rangers fans from northern Ireland are Scottish planters who came to Ireland fleeing a Scottish famine in the 1690s... how do you not see the ignorance? in layman's terms your country had many famines and your people left Scotland for Ireland... yet you hate us for doing the same? strong logic...

yeah basically they're the equivalent of the south in that people take the piss out of them. dunno your reasons though/
For us,
They are a massive net burden on England, a lot of them are poor, unskilled etc. And 50% of the employed their work for the public sector... da fuk? And they got more back into their local councils etc, than they give in through tax revenue. Parasites on us lolLast edited by homedogalex; 06-03-2011 at 07:31 AM.

The Irish dont hate Scotland at all. Although sectarianism exists in both Scotland and Northern Ireland the Irish generally seem to view Scotland as their "celtic brother" and struggling friend against the imperial British machine aka England.
As for England, all the countries on these islands hate us and many have an inferiority complex against us. Many English people (undeservedly) have a superiority complex against these other countries. England is by far the most populous and wealthy of these countries as London is the economic center of the UK. This leads to anger and sometimes jealousy from the surrounding countries. It also leads to ignorance and arrogance on behalf of the English who often ignore the achievements and contributions of these other countries. England is generally viewed as the imperial, evil and arrogant bastard (historically this is true).
The Welsh arent too keen on the English either yet are more understanding of the benefits of being a part of the UK. Whilst they accept themselves as a part of the UK, they can still be fiercely nationalist and rejecting of many things English.
Although there may be differences...Ireland, Scotland and Wales can unite in their general dislike of England.
I dont believe the UK is sustainable. I believe it's only a matter of time before Scotland is independant and Northern Ireland is reunited. After this, Wales and England will no longer be the same "kingdom".
Rather than enjoy the prosperity of being a strong unified nation, many of us would rather be insignificant small nations due to petty sibling rivalry.
In an ideal world we could reunite Ireland and have it as part of the UK. We could wipe sectarianism off these islands. We could have a STRONG united kingdom between all these countries based on a common culture and history, working toward respect, economic prosperity and fairness for all of us.
Unfortunately the utter stupidity of our ancestors and formers means this is not possible. Too much war and hatred exists. People in these countries will continue to hate eachother and want out.

lol I didn't mean poor in an offensive way, just as in a lot were left unskilled and supposedly "ravaged" after the coal mine closures. And I agree you have the North Sea oil, but that's the only thing you have for you of real attraction (good scenery is counteracted with endless rain). Plus, the North Sea oil is nearly out, in the South we rely on our services such as banking and insurances etc so notasingle****isgiven.jpg u mad?
lol at come knock us out, and being called daft by a mad scottishman. The cheek
