@West27Daniel @StanCollymore No King James was ousted and replaced , the Dutch Prince William of Oranje . he signed that order
English

@Loopzook @StanCollymore The scottish government ordered the massacre. This was before political union with england, but after the union of crowns with england, so scottosh king was also english king. Scottish king (who was also king of england as king james earlier had inherited )signed the orders.

I speak for me and me alone.
Nobody on here has called out the worst excesses of Englishness in here, nobody. And at England games too.
But if you're Scottish or Irish or Welsh reading this, most English people care about, like you, is food on the table, grafting and being, for now, part of a union of nations.
Me, today, I'm tapped out. Never believed in the union, I believe in an English independent nation that trades with 3 or 4 other neighbours as friends. I love England, I do not love nor hate the other constituent parts.
What I do know is Scottish media and politicians, not brain dead pundits, have been more than happy to twist the knife this last month.
So please, Scotland and Wales, vote for independence so we can all have our own destiny, as friends without tagging a nation of 40 million as some sort of colonial oppressor. We're fucking not.
And the cheek of the Scots and Welsh pretending they weren't a part of every British atrocity is fucking laughable.

@Loopzook @StanCollymore You realise king William was at this point king of scotland too as king james had earlier inherited the english crown? so again, what is the specific english link here?
English

@West27Daniel @StanCollymore The Royal Order: King William himself signed and counter-signed the orders "to extirpate" (destroy) the MacDonald clan of Glencoe because their chief was a few days late in swearing a public oath of allegiance to the new crown.
English

@Loopzook @StanCollymore The Glen coe massacre was instigated by the scottish government; where is the link tk britain here?

@RealEmirHan Batman is operating outside the law, it's as simple as that. He has no mandate,no jurisdiction(as is pointed out),answers to no one but himself. If you can pin a few law enforcement mistakes on him , that you are guilty of win/win.

@eadgbe350569 @StanCollymore Cool, cool , where you going to store your nukes? You also just lost half your oil field at the top of the country, what about your supply of fresh water and electricity to the north of England. If you think that’s mates rates after you leave I have a bridge to sell you.

@StanCollymore Yep I think its time the English had a referendum! Pretty sure we would cast the rest adrift!

We’re shit and your whole existence is being a flea on our arse.
Let that sink in mate.

Scots owe it to Falkland heroes to back England over Argentina at World Cup scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/comment/scots-…
Correct!
England are also the only home nation still in the World Cup . To not want England to win is pathetic and smacks of an Inferiority complex!

@MoMohler Brother I have a chippie close to which also makes pizza (traditionally) not deep fried. By an Italian who finished 3rd in the Italian pizza competition in Italy, he even displays the trophy.

@MsMelChen I think you'll find it was join the empire or starve, we chose to ride the dragon. also if your good a something never do it for free.

Okay, this might stir up a hornet’s nest…
At first, I thought Scotland’s 🏴 habit of cheering for whoever England plays - even Argentina - was just banter. But now I’m not so sure. It feels like it runs much deeper.
What I find truly intriguing is how some Scottish nationalists blame English identity (and often the English people collectively) for British colonialism, while painting Scotland as its very first victim. Yet many Scots were enthusiastic participants in the empire, often serving as key figures in its ruling elite.
After the 1707 Union, Scotland’s educated middle class, military tradition, and economic pressures pushed many talented Scots into imperial service. They excelled in law, engineering, medicine, and administration. Scots comprised roughly one-third of colonial governors-general in the later Victorian/Edwardian era. They were disproportionately represented in colonial governance, the military, and civil service, making up a significant portion of governors, administrators, and officials relative to Scotland’s population.
Scots were prominent as governors in the Carribean, India, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and African colonies. They also dominated roles in the East India Company and later imperial services.
Rather than acknowledging Scotland’s active role, the narrative often shifts to claims of “internalised Anglo-phobia” or some sort of Stockholm syndrome. It’s as if Scotland was forced into complicity like Django Unchained’s ‘Stephen,’ the loyal house slave who sides with the master.
The reality seems simpler. Scotland fought bravely, eventually lost, joined the winning side, and then did rather well out of the arrangement - certainly better than most of the world’s colonized peoples.
Am I wrong?

@Clyde1News Are scotrail and bus companies involved? if not pointless.
