Scottish people out here talking shit about British folks, yet in 2014 they voted against being an independent nation.

Y'all are Brits. Accept it.

One, they're talking about English "people," not British people.

Two, that still isn't how it works.

Three, that was before Brexit.

One, why did you quote people?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 26 points 2 years ago

Because I'm being racist against English "people"

Genuinely curious about this, do northern English people from say York get the same shit from Scottish people that say a Londoner or someone from the south would?

Thanks :) Would've thought you'd quote "English people" but now that I think about it this also makes sense :p

Barely, and the referendum would've gone the other way any time after 2016.

Polls show independence was briefly in the lead for a few months of 2020, but has remained consistently behind otherwise since 2014
