@JRobs852562 @CairnsHector We had that for plenty of years after 1707. Maybe we're just used to it!

@CairnsHector Scottish people prefer a military dictatorship it seems.

It was the English politicians and media that first politicised the Falklands War trying to bully the Celtic nations into supporting them. Didn’t work and now England has a hissy fit about a bed sheet.

@hayden1798 There is no Btitish Education system as Scotland has it's own education system!

british education system is embarrassing, once again i will remind you guys that britain still occupies ireland

@StanCollymore Our papers? Which ones would they be, all controlled from outwith Scotland.

@moomintroll41 @NinianMod But he's definitely not English! So give it a f@cking rest@

@NinianMod But you are both Welsh and British

Sorry, Bridget, but I consider myself Welsh, not British.

@SimonLaffont @zaubermusic Well, of course they are or you wouldn't understand it, you fanny!

@zaubermusic All these Welsh language suppression knob tweets posted in English.

England conquered Wales, ended its independence, and spent centuries suppressing its language and institutions—far more consequential for Wales than Argentina killing 32 Welsh soldiers in a wartime battle against British forces.

@creativetherpy @MsMelChen Aye, ok.

@MsMelChen No, it's much simpler than that. The Scots are jealous of the English because the English are better than the Scots in every respect. That's why they cheer for the opposing team no matter which country it is.

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?

@philip_seymour England? Ffs it was the fucking UK!

Así recibió Inglaterra a sus soldados después de triunfar en las Malvinas . Cómo recibió Argentina a sus soldados ? A patadas y escupitajos los dejaron botados , los condenaron al olvido pero hoy se llenan la boca con los " Pibes de las Malvinas " .

@MartinDandach "War against the English" ffs get it right please!

Estos se piensan que la guerra a los ingleses les salió gratis. Perdieron casi 300 soldados, los pilotos argentinos les hundieron 7 destructores, les dañaron el 70% de la flota y le impactaron el portaaviones emblema HMS Invencible, les derribaron 45 aeronaves y les hicieron vivir un infierno. Muchos incluso después se quitaron la vida por los traumas que sufrieron. Fue una de las peores tragedias para Inglaterra desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

@theFFCfan @_DIGB @SPFL_Fitba_Fan Ffs! Scotland wasn't bankrupt you were the ones in debt. That's why you immediately put up Scottish taxes to help pay it off!

@_DIGB @SPFL_Fitba_Fan Good bait, but you also need to remember you hate England because you went bankrupt 300 years ago and fucked your chance at independence

Can’t support France tomorrow night because we fought Napoleon between 1793 - 1815

@mazacuato "English territory" ??

En realidad no pueden sancionar a los argentinos por sus cánticos sobre las "Malvinas" porque eso no existe, es como Narnia, Nunca Jamás o cualquier otra tierra de fantasía. Legalmente solo existen las FALKLAND ISLANDS, y son territorio inglés 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Canten lo que quieran, hechos son hechos ✅ #GoEngland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@TheAngry53586 @80_mcswan Are you trying to say it was Scotland vs England? If you are you're an idiot!

@80_mcswan Culloden has fuck all to do with football but you’re still whining and whinging about that spanking 🤣

A reminder: England v Argentina has nothing to do with the Falklands War.

@ErrorArbitralTR England? Try again!

Hace casi cincuenta años, Perú apoyó económica y militarmente a Argentina en su conflicto contra Inglaterra por la posesión de las Islas Malvinas. En los siguientes 50 años, Perú no solo fue TRAICIONADO por Argentina en medio de una guerra, sino que ahora los argentinos hasta utilizan "peruano" como insulto. NO PODEMOS VOLVER A COMETER EL MISMO ERROR. No podemos volver a dejar que se aprovechen de nosotros. No seremos más los ingenuos de la película. Esos hijos de perra rompieron la hermandad en 1995 y no merecen nada. Este miércoles, todo el Perú apoya a Harry Kane. It's coming home, gente.

@scotlabnurse7 Dear Irene, unless I've missed your point, there are probably more scottish people who don't want independence that cheer the loudest when England lose. Personally, I couldn't give a shit!

Dear Alan please remember that there are a lot of Scots who dont want independence. This is the first time I have heard this excuse for not supporting England in the world cup

@Smith6692 @SarahTaity_84 "Shitty country"! Maybe look at your own shitty country first, you bigot!

@SarahTaity_84 Stop trying to flip “don’t support England” we don’t ask Irish people the question or random countries like Sweden. Because they don’t go around supporting EVERY OTHER country we play. - no1 cares that your shitty country and accent don’t support us. We will survive.

@Johnojohno19 @SirNotTomFarmer Ffs!

@d5clark @SirNotTomFarmer No they belong to Scotland…

Fair play to Scotrail for arranging this 👍

@GallIain "Gullible Separatists"! That's all you lot come up with because some other gullible idiot from your neck of the woods said ages ago, and you just keep repeating it! A bit like "cult" or "benifit scriungers"! Change the fucking record ffs!

Can’t wait to hear the Norwegian accent she’ll adopt. Bottom line is, it’s all an act to suck in the gullible separatists. Lara is a privately educated smart individual who knows exactly how to turn on the separatist charm offensive and say the right thing at the right time.

@WingsScotland Yep, not a good game so far.

Strange game, this. Morocco have abandoned their previous swashbuckling style and are playing like, well, Scotland.

@Johnojohno19 @SirNotTomFarmer Our oil rigs? Thought it was the UK's oil according to you lot! For now anyway.

@SirNotTomFarmer That’s the same flag that’s on the oil rigs… Norwegian oil rigs… 400 meters from your redundant oil rigs… Then they sell you your own oil back..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤣

@BorderSolution_ @AdamRamsay Eh!

@AdamRamsay England are still in the tournament Adam, they don't need to support anyone else. 🥴

I assume all my English people will all be supporting France against Morocco tonight, since it’s the country next door to you..?

@IndyTom3 @crsanchezx God knows!

@crsanchezx Why is Johnnie walker got a Scottish satire next it, yet all the other 'scottish' whisky has a Union flag next to them?
