'The Scottish have fought alongside the English against Hitler and Napoleon.'

They also fought alongside the French in what they call 'the auld alliance' in various attempts to destroy England. I've never met a frenchman who's ever heard of it mind, surprise, surprise!

The scots loved Britain when the empire filled their pockets, now we're a bit too right-wing for them and they want to plough their own left-wing furrow. Suits me.

As an American with the good fortune of having ancestors who fled various countries both on and off the European Continent, including England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany, I must say that people today should concentrate on what brings them together, and not some stupid sense of lost ethnic heritage. It seems to me that countries that break up their unions usually fare worse after the split.

Now, I'm not talking globalism here. I'm a Yank through and through. If someone asks what nationality my last name is, I always answer "American". I'm just not in favor of people re fighting the War Between the States or the Jacobite Rebellion.
