In another thread we are asked how patriotic we are, being English I hand on heart can't say I am ... mainly due to issues like this, this piece of the world is outrs! ...we colonised there to save the savages... people of that faith are undesirable. :/

English superiority complex is fully responsible for the collapse of the empire. Had the English been prepared to see others as equals, more meaningful commonwealth might have been created.
The same for the UK. If the English carry on like before, Scotland may decide to secede. Can you imagine the humiliation? From controlling big chunk of the globe to a rump state in less than a century?
UK should have become a fully federal state ages ago, with Wales and Scotland fully equal to England.
