The thing that makes me smile about this that most English people I speak to can't wait for Scotland to be independent, most of us would positively enourage it. And yet, when an English person says, good, can't wait for it to happen, Scottish people don't see happy with that and would prefer us to be upset at the prospect.

Alex Salmond also said that they will "decided later whether or not Scotland will join the EU". Which will be quite a dilemma for all those Scottish people living and working in England who will suddenly need a visa to be able to visit England, let alone live and work here, as do other nationalities who's countries are not EU members.

There isn't the hatred from ordinary English people toward the Scottish that a lot of Scottish people harbour toward the English, mainly I think because the English are not still grimly hanging on to old slights inflicted on them by people hundreds of years dead, and for which the vast majority of English people were a) not responsible for and, b) did not profit from.

It's terrible a shame, our two countries have a long history where we've stood together many times. But I don't think there is anything that can be done to heal the rift now.

with respect your post sounds like it is you who harbours ill will towards the scots. in short it sounds very hypocritical. the scots are anti tory , they detest what they did to scotland. the fact is the tory party does pretty well in england and the south especially mainly because of the sheer volume of wealthy people there. whereas in scotland the tories dont exist. so your painting this as anti english is disingenuous, its anti tory yes and its pro scotland. its a cultural and economic decision. the scots , a lot of them, are exceptionally knowledgeable people. they feel quite capable of running their own affairs and believe theyd be better off for doing so.

they have a good relationship with the EU and are hugely respected by all other nations. this will help in trade. I actually think an independent scotland will get along with england better than ever as independent nations. there are some anti english people there but believe me as an englishman the behaviour of vats swathes of so called english patriots towards many other nations is far more
xenophobic.....

our countrymen go around the med in packs screaming bull murder chanting at groups of other nationalities and general making a total nuisance of ourselves. I visited the algarve one time, they wouldnt let any english people into the night clubs. I pretended to be scottish and they let me in

I agree about dragging up ancient history though. time to let the butchering monarchies to bed. I think the monarchy is pure evil. always has been. but thats about power and land more than nationality

Salmond's looking to offer a third option on the referendum though which is basically "independence lite" where they just have maximum devolution but are still a part of the UK, even if mainly only in name, it's more likely to be popular among voters I think
