It seems to me that the English have a just gripe. Scots, Welsh and N. Irish have independent parliaments w/o English participation or votes but the English have only one parliament that at Westminster and the Welsh, the Scots and the Irish all cast votes there even on purely English matters.
Just does not seem fair that the British Scots, Welsh and Irish can decide for themselves w/o English influence on matters pertaining to their respective lands but the English must yield to the votes of the Scots, Welsh and Irish in matters pertaining only to England.
What makes it even worse is that the Scots have a higher representation in Westminster than their population justifies, and affairs are dominated by Scots anyway. Gordon Brown is Scottish, Menzies Campbell (ex leader of the liberal democrats) is Scottish, theres a whole raft of Scottish Nationalist MP’s who don’t give a toss for anything outside of Jockland. Even Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh - and half his cabinet were Scots.
And they sit there and whine that they are “oppressed”...
