We love the English

Hey – we love the English – really we do.
My mother is English.
I went to Medical School in London.
My son lives in England.
The awful thing about The SNP trying to get independence and insisting every few years on making us vote on it, is that those fellow British citizens down there in the deep south, think that we all don’t like them. They think we are all little Alec Salmonds. What a dreadful picture that conjures up !
Well – we are not.
We love you – you are our brothers.
And – like siblings, there are silly jealousies and fights
BUT – like siblings we have a deep and important kinship
The only time you really do annoy us -
Is when on National TV such as The News, you forget that the broadcast is also being seen in Scotland.
I have no interest in Sport, but those that do find it irritating to hear commentary about English teams, as if the broadcast is only for English viewers. I can imagine the outcry there would be in England if the reverse were to happen.
We love you – really we do.
We are no different to you.
We just happen to live a few miles further North.
AND
The majority of us
DO NOT WANT
Independence
And never have done.
