@Del84946007 Lol, a self governing Cornwall would be hilarious. Literally nothing would get done.

Bostonians will turn on the English fans.........
Bostonians are very loyal and the Scots have been very good to them
Englishmen, come correct or get turned out - not a good look
Barstool Sports@barstoolsports
“You jock bastards, Scotland get battered, everywhere they go” England has arrived in Boston and are giving it to the Scots

@Jack_THFC_2003 Its sad that they can't just enjoy their moment and have to ruin it with the usual petty bitterness. For a fact if England went out and Scotland stayed in we'd be cheering them on whole heartedly.
English
Nobody works harder than the Scots trying to spread england hate we had no problems in dallas and have had a lot of respect from other fans on here aswell but they've somehow already convinced boston to hate us
English
@Nicolafaddy The only reason people like the tartan army is because nobody can understand what they are saying

Just seen someone comapre the England fans to the tartan army as boiled rice and chicken with no seasoning 🤣🤣🤣

@aenarion96045 @kittoched He's refering to the declaration of Arbroath which, among other things, declared that sovereignty ultimately derives from the people rather than the king. It was an inspiration for the American declaration of Independence,which asserts the same idea.
English
@kittoched The Scottish parliament only exists as a devolution of the English parliament which only exists as a devolution of the Monarchy. Parliament is sovereign the people aren’t, how can the people be sovereign do you think Scotland is a direct democracy?
English
It’s a tradition, in Scotland, from 1320 that the people of Scotland are sovereign, not the monarch.
Paul Scully@scullyp
Disappointing to see the first of the 3 MPs to swear the oath of allegiance, the new SNP MP for Arbroath, cross her fingers whilst reading the script. First of several performative appearances I suspect.
English
@ronniethetim Another daft thing is if England went out most of them would probably switch to supporting Scotland, but when Scotland go out they will support whichever team England is playing. And yet the Tartan Army are apparently the nice ones.
English
Possibly the daftest thing about this world Cup is how triggered the English are by the Tartan Army just doing what it does wherever it goes.
English
@cllrjameshunt @UKParliament @CommonsSpeaker It doesn't. The law only requires that you recite the words, it doesn't prohibit prefixing a statement (she isn't the first by any means), and it doesn't say that you have to mean it
English
This needs to be retaken. As we know it voids the oath @UKParliament @CommonsSpeaker
Peter Heaton-Jones@PHeatonJones
Utterly disgraceful & disrespectful behaviour from the new SNP MP for Arbroath & Broughty Ferry. She added a preamble to the loyal oath indicating she didn’t accept it, then read the actual words holding up crossed fingers, presumably to signify she didn’t believe it. Awful.
English
@BjCruickshank If it's broken then it was built broken, since this has always been the case in the UK (including pre-union scotland where instead of a cabinet you had a privy council and instead of a pm you had a chancellor)
English
It looks as though 25,000 people in England have chosen the next Prime Minister of the UK. Let that sink in Scotland, British democracy is truly broken. Scottish independence is crucially important if we are to save our country from English fascism.
English
@ScotNational More performative legislation from the SNP designed to fail and waste everyone's time in the process.
English
BREAKING: The SNP will introduce a bill in Westminster to devolve independence referendum powers to Holyrood.
🗣️ 'It's time we take the power out of the hands of Westminster politicians and put it into the hands of a Scottish Parliament.'
English
@jimnarlene Her male critics all seem to criticise the way she took the oath, while her female detractors all seem offended by her outfit.

Little Englanders aplenty...

🚨 PICTURED: Andy Burnham takes a selfie with Labour MPs
English
@J4m35c4mpb3ll It's the rumoured opinion of an unnamed MP shared by a biased news outlet. Try not to take it too seriously.
English
What a ridiculous statement.
''Man that stays in another country understands Scotland, as he’s from England!'' 😳
English
@warriorbadger Try not to get too angry about the rumoured opinion of an unnamed MP, shared by a biased news outlet.
English
Fuck off. Arrogant prick. I remember this twat seething when Scotland had the 'audacity' to stop tourists from Manchester heading North through Covid.
Another gormless Anglo-state wanker. A champagne socialist cut fae the same cloth as every other Labour drone foisted on us tae sell a demonstrably false 'union'.
The National@ScotNational
NEW: Andy Burnham 'understands Scotland deeply' as he's from the north of England, a Labour MP has claimed
English
@UpTheWorkers Is it a celebration? He has announced his candidacy and has taken a photo with the MPs that support him. It's a campaign photo.
English
Given the utter nonsense that's been going on in British politics
Who fucking celebrates like we've actually won something ffs
...where are the serious adults saying 'this isn't appropriate at this moment'

@Grouse_Beater She did then also recite the secular version of the oath.

Who cares about Scotland most?
New SNP MP Lara Bird (pictured) said, sworn in to England's parliament: "I take this oath only so that I can serve the people of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry. My first allegiance is, and always will be, to the sovereign people of Scotland".
On the other hand, new Tory MP, Douglas Lumsden said: “I swear by almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law, so help me God.”
English
And they wonder why 🏴,🏴& the North of 🇮🇪 want independence. 🤨

@Ali_900r @LindsayHoyle_MP She didnt break any rules (being a lawyer i expect she knows them), and didn't do anything unprecedented. Banning her would be to subvert the democratic will of the people, and why? Because she doesnt respect an anachronistic oath?
English
This is offensive to the British people and parliament. It throws parliament into disrepute. Make her apologise and take it again. If she refuses, ban her from the house. @LindsayHoyle_MP

English
@Alexarmstrong Its because the rules date back to the days when parliament was all male, and so the rules for male attire became quite specific. When women entered parliament no equivalent rules were set out, and female attire was guided by the vague principle of "business-like".
English
Why is there such a ridiculous disparity in the parliamentary dress code for men and women?
