Desire to end the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England does not make me anti-English. Both countries will benefit from a break-up. Time to go our separate ways.

It has happened elsewhere - Austro-Hungary, Czechoslavakia, the USSR, the Ottoman Empire.

Now time for the UKofGB&NI/

In that case then perhaps you would explain what does make you anti-English. It certainly appears from your past postings that you are indeed so.

I refer you to George Orwell's essay "Notes on Nationalism".

If you can justify to your self a prejudice based on an individuals place of birth then so be it. I for one could not.

I am a great fan of Orwell and have been for 60+ years. I think his views on "The National Question" do not coincide with mine. My views would be closer to those of Robert Cunninghame G, "Don Roberto" or even to those of Compton Mackenzie and his buddy, C M Grieve.
