I have to, every year. My missus is Cornish by birth and family but left at about 7 and carries none of 'their' baggage. It's a night for generalisations, I've become a small minded englishman, so here I go - They blame outsiders ('north country") for everything - bad driving, litter on the floor, any crime, Seriously anything (probably the weather). I suspect that cornish wife basher who gouged his wife's eyes out was really an English plant. The most chippy, insular, moony bunch of w*nkers in the British Ilses - and that includes the fooking welsh. There's even a monument to 'cornish freedom fighters' in Falmouth, with no Fookers name on it naturally as none of the tossers have done anything about 'freedom fighting' other than sitting in the pub blaming the English.

Thinking it seriously....yes.

Ultimately it's all a bit depressing to be honest, already I see "englishness" emerging, and pretty (frighteningly) quickly, as a political entity rather than a cultural entity - which is pretty unprecedented and speaks to small mindness and insularity which is, despite SJ's claims, what the SNP stands for and why it's emotionally the same as UKIP (not policy wise etc just emotionally). The only difference is in the real world English self interest will be a lot stronger given the strength of London globally, our size advantage, our demographic profile, our openness to immigration and our less reliance on the state. As a proud englishman I preferred it when we were Britain like before but there's a bit of me that's now thinking no Fuck why should we continue to subsidise the welsh/scots...the fooking cornish when they blame us for everything...that's insular small mindeness creeping out and I didn't think it 4 weeks ago. Well done Alex Salmond, well done the SNP.

Fifteen per cent of European monarchs who lived between 600 and 1800 were murdered. Their risk of violent death was more than 700 times greater than their subjects and seven times greater than young black American males today.

Yes you do - you don't KNOW how happy this post makes me *pulls shirt overhead and runs round room for being able to tell techies something about tech*

Topical.. they're scottish, the lyrics make sense Get on one everyone

Fundamental changes ahead. A potential scenario - labour get a majority of 20 at next election with a Manifesto commitment to raise upper rate taxes to 50% - lefties dancing in the street. Scottish MPS (29ish Labour) with scotlands independent and separtae tax raising powers won't(and shouldn't)be allowed to vote on this - English MPs defeat the govt.

I am surprised Sir Sean hasn't given his back yet with his ardent SNP support, maybe he could give it back with all that tax he's not paid for years whilst telling us (or soon to be them?) what to do

Anyway - good to see the English reps of the world beating PL all embarrass themselves by varying degrees

...all underpinned by 'of course we don't hate the english' through clenched teeth and with crossed fingers behind their backs :) "some of my best friends are english but...."

..you forgot the tactical 'limp' *Bob*

It might be a first for me but that Guardian article is spot on and why, when I weigh it up in my mind, I think I fall on the side of regreting the fact that the Internet was invented (just) or certainly the Social Media side of it

SouthwarK (and I'm sure other boroughs) were pratically giving away places in Tower Blocks under Hard to Let in the 80s! Plus the more adventorous squatted - there used tp be loads of squats up the World'S End end of the Kings Road too John. We just rented slummy flats off the infamous Jewish brothers who used to own 1000s of houses converted into cheap flats in North London in (then) all pretty grotty Kensal Green, west Hampstaed, Queens Park, Tuffnell Park, Chalk Farm, Camden, Hornsey,etc etc

I dunno, maybe just maybe, he thinks 300 years of joint history shouldn't be thrown away* *added to which he doesn't want to go down as the PM who lost it, and it'll almost certainly cost him his job ..but cyncism aside I think it's possible that many tories aren't just weighing up the advantages getting rid of Scotland will give them in a GE
