Is the motto in Scotland and Ireland (and maybe Wales too) "English Man Bad"?

[Anonymous]

At least for the SNP and IRA?

Basically to the Celts: English man bad, Celtic man good.

Right?

I mean.. The UK has been dominated by English politics with the focus on England and London in particular. I could use examples such as the Irish potato famine to point towards a very real prejudice against Irish people within British politics to the point where they allowed them to starve to death. Likewise England has been taking resources from Scotland and focused on their own development and there is a strong political divide between Scotland and England but since England has a stronger influence inside the UK the wishes of the Scottish people has fallen on deaf ears and rarely have Scotland gotten what they actually want.

Fundamentally speaking its an unstable situation Northern Ireland is already guaranteed to rejoin the rest of Ireland as it is and with Brexit the last straw for the Scottish might also have come at which point they may leave the union too which is probably for the best. They are just too different from each other to exist in any real harmony.

They've all got reasons from the past few hundred years to be super annoyed with the controlling English factions.
It's not all one way of course but some have made it an art form to resent all English forever more.
But if that were true of all or even most Scots (for example), they'd already be annexed from England.

Not unless you're not a functioning adult, no.

Sounds to me that you want to fight the Battle of Culloden again.
My father's family was on the losing side of that battle. My father's clan has not spoken to our parent clan, Campbell of Argyle, for 275 years.
The English won. Deal with it.

I thought that the Irish motto was "If you're lucky enough to be Irish; the you are lucky enough." And that the Welsh motto was "It is easy to be brave behind castle walls." I must be suffering from a brain fart; as I can't remember what the Scottish motto is.

No. Quite the opposite.

It's more "bring 'em ere, lets strip the bawbags down!"

That's coming from a Scotsman.

Nope, for most of us it is just friendly banter.

Pretty much unless it's our money then it's good

Maybe because they want their lands back?
