You appear to be ignorant of the history of the British Empire and the role the Scots played in it. One point worth mentioning: the motivation for the union between England and Scotland was that the Scottish had bankrupted themselves in their own attempts to form an empire (Google the Darien Scheme). The Scots were not conquered; they voluntarily joined the Union.
The British Empire was not the English Empire, and the Scottish played as much of a role in its formation and administration as the English.
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoThe Darien Scheme failed because the English colonial establishment worked hard to sabotage it, because it competed with their own interests. English Nationalists like yourself are far more toxic than the Scots Nats. You're still trying to play the same spoiler games you were playing more than two hundred years ago.
- Veen 5y agoAye, perfidious Albion is always to blame for Scotland's failures. And I'm not an English nationalist. I'm a Unionist.
