"The independent member for Fife Council said he did not like the English because of the Battle of Culloden more than 250 years ago."


Give me a break. Scots, Welsh, English & Cornish (!) nationalism is laughable. Believe it or not, most people in this country are pretty much over hating the Germans for World War II, so why is there such a noticable recent growth in this kind of resentment against people who share the same landmass as you? When I go home, you also hear people in the pub saying they hate the English, but where the hell did this narrow-minded xenophobia come from?
