But as far as Westminster and the politicians go, I think they are worried about having an impoverished/poor nation on their doorstep | |||

"Personally I wouldn't mind either way. If the Scottish people want independence that's fine by me and as I think someone else pointed out, if it means we get to see less of Ian Blackford on our TV screens then that is a bonus
But as far as Westminster and the politicians go, I think they are worried about having an impoverished/poor nation on their doorstep "Good answer - thanks I’ve never known the politicians and Westminster to really care about the status of wealth of other nations - if anything they would see this as a economic or financial opportunity to exploit for profit or gain. But maybe you are right maybe they really like Scotland and don’t want to see us suffer and become poor - nah I don’t think so. I think they would be more upset with the concept of the Queen spending most of her time abroad. | |||

"Probably because no party wants the break up of the union on their cv,the boarder will become an issue too even though it would make economic sense to let scotland go its own way.just for the record im English and if the people of scotland want independence they should have it." True it would be on their watch, which I think will be Conservative party as Labour has very little chance of getting in without the Scottish vote. A good point. | |||

"Let the Jocks have their independence on one condition. That they keep their wailing screeching cat bags outta ear shot. i.e. the bagbloodypipes!!" We could agree an exclusion zone on the border- say no closer than 15 miles from the border | |||

"I remember a time when those clamouring for independence were talking about " their" oil as being the source of funds.

"Since I have ancestry in Scotland, Ireland, and England, as well as my Native American ancestry, I feel Scotland has a right to their independence if they so desire. The Scotish people are just as smart and have just as much ingenuity as England, Ireland, or anywhere else for that matter. Like it or not, your all connected to one another in uncountable ways, upto and including on a genetic level for millenniums. It's far more than likely that most of the English people have direct ancestry links to Scotland, so they are your relatives, though distant, relatives non the less. So, with that being said, you should wish them the best regardless. As far as their independent economic stability, there would be a period of adjustment, just like any country would have trying to find a profitable balance. Just from the what I've read in this forum alone, the Scotish people could lease the submarine base back to England for a very sizable amount of money, and they could lease any oil fields or gas fields to England as well, not to mention the uncountable other opportunities that would be available to them to maintain economical stability. I have no doubt they could do it with the right leadership, but that's their choice. " Though I agree 100% with the rights of the Scots to do so, I would rather they didn't. It flies in the face of the history of Europe. Basically Europe has become more and more stable over the centuries, through the process of smaller countries joining together to form larger entities. You could argue the EU is the natural evolution of that. Even England was formed from smaller kingdoms. Italy, Germany, France etc. etc. If the UK had stayed in the EU this would probably not be happening. I think it's sad and probably to the detriment of both countries. | |||

"There was a small town called Dunoon. Back in the Cold War days it was classed as a high spot (world wide target number 5) to be bombed. Funny it never happened. War’s are not won on bombing anymore. So it’s more that fair to say it’s far , to say there will be any kind of targeted plot on a nuclear base.

"The amount of unemployment in the area if the sub bases were to move would be catastrophic, it would be akin to the mine closures in the north bk in the day. In my opinion I dont think an English gov would lease it from Scotland they would jus close them down and move the jobs to England." Forgot about the fall out from that. It’s a drop in the ocean when you look at how many public service jobs are in Scotland. No way will England keep them jobs in Scotland. 52% of jobs in Scotland are public service jobs. Mass unemployment in the 20+% Now add that oil is costing more to drill in the North Sea than it is selling for. Also remember they are keeping the £. So 0 control of it’s only value. So any companies that are still open will move. Remember RBS have now moved the head office to London now. It sounds a fantastic | |||

"I think Silverhorn summed it up pretty well I just hope you guys dont cut your nose off to spite your face. In all honesty it's just not really something most English people care much about. If you want to leave you should, if you dont then dont" This is all very similar to my successful thread a couple of days ago lol. There’s more than few English people who are bored or disinterested in the whole thing and wish Scotland would get on with it if they’re going to do it one day anyway. | |||

"Why and when I say England I mean the political parties, Westminster, you if your English. I want to know why (I’m not wanting Scottish opinions and I’m not asking the Welsh or the Irish as they have no say in Scotland becoming independent). So why would you as an English person stop Scotland from leaving the Union. Our submarine base is in Scotland,there is still oil there to which we paid for and developed. Whatever they have is mostly paid for by us so why should we give it to them? It will have to move as wee nicola doesn't want nukes in Scotland more job losses.
Probally not keen on seeing her country obliterated tbf

"Without wishing to take any particular side... I fail to see how any person who was in favour of brexit dare say that Scotland should not be allowed independence. If you think it was a good idea for Britain to divorce itself from Europe, then you have disqualified yourself from any authority to prevent parts of the UK wanting their own sovereignty. Conversely, anybody who was against brexit and believes in European unity, you have no right to deny Scotland it's chance to break away from the stupidity of the English and rejoin the EU. So: brexiters - you can't protest against scottish independence, you have spent the last 5 years telling anybody pro-union that they are wrong. And remainers - you can't protest against scottish independence, you have spent the last five years trying to find any possible way to stay part of the EU." Cant argue with that I've got nothing against them going their own way if thats what they want. And they have to put up with the typical little englander 'world revolves around us'attitiude. | |||

Cant argue with that I've got nothing against them going their own way if thats what they want. And they have to put up with the typical little englander 'world revolves around us'attitiude. I have seen you use the term “ little englander” several times in recent posts. Would you be so kind as to tell me your definition of the term please. Well..if it was in the dictionary..it would probably be under a picture of mr nigel Farage. Who you must clearly work for. You seem so intent on making the left look daft. Come on, you're a Farage stooge aren't you
Are you saying Farage is not the epitome of a little englander?
I remember the Republican Anne Coulter was accoused of being a Democrat stooge. I think the theory was that she sounded so silly it would damage the Republicans. You're becoming a little bit like that just the other way around
You didn't answer my question.
The phrase has been around for about 200 years,and the closest modern example I can think of is our nigel.
I probally wouldnt even have boris down as one tbh."Yes but you always resort to asking a question instead addressing the point Anyway, I think you get my point. Enough said | |||

"Though I agree 100% with the rights of the Scots to do so, I would rather they didn't. It flies in the face of the history of Europe. Basically Europe has become more and more stable over the centuries, through the process of smaller countries joining together to form larger entities. You could argue the EU is the natural evolution of that. Even England was formed from smaller kingdoms. Italy, Germany, France etc. etc. If the UK had stayed in the EU this would probably not be happening. I think it's sad and probably to the detriment of both countries." The SNP is built on the foundation of Scotland becoming independent from the UK. I doubt very much this primary goal would be rested had the UK remained in the EU. | |||

"Probably because no party wants the break up of the union on their cv,the boarder will become an issue too even though it would make economic sense to let scotland go its own way.just for the record im English and if the people of scotland want independence they should have it. True it would be on their watch, which I think will be Conservative party as Labour has very little chance of getting in without the Scottish vote. A good point." take care what you wish for Trump has his eye on Scotland, just look at his investments there | |||

Come on, you're a Farage stooge aren't you
Are you saying Farage is not the epitome of a little englander?
I remember the Republican Anne Coulter was accoused of being a Democrat stooge. I think the theory was that she sounded so silly it would damage the Republicans. You're becoming a little bit like that just the other way around
You didn't answer my question.
The phrase has been around for about 200 years,and the closest modern example I can think of is our nigel.
I probally wouldnt even have boris down as one tbh.
So you have given examples of people you think are and aren’t little englanders
So tell me what makes one a little englander and not the other
Your own definition in words please..
See above
Are you going to answer my question?
Who is the are you going to answer my question directed at. You keep telling me it’s not directed at me then add it back on your replies to my posts.??
I asked do you think the concept of a little englander exists?
Yes I do, but that is not the issue.
The issue was what is YOUR definition which you have spectacularly failed to give.
Are you now going to give a definition or is it beyond you..??"You mean beyond the 2 definitions I have provided already? | |||

"Though I agree 100% with the rights of the Scots to do so, I would rather they didn't. It flies in the face of the history of Europe. Basically Europe has become more and more stable over the centuries, through the process of smaller countries joining together to form larger entities. You could argue the EU is the natural evolution of that. Even England was formed from smaller kingdoms. Italy, Germany, France etc. etc. If the UK had stayed in the EU this would probably not be happening. I think it's sad and probably to the detriment of both countries. The SNP is built on the foundation of Scotland becoming independent from the UK. I doubt very much this primary goal would be rested had the UK remained in the EU." No, certainly. They've been at it for a long time. But the EU question seemed to be something the last indyref turned on. And it has given them an excuse to raise the question again a bit sooner than the advertised once in a lifetime. | |||

I remember the Republican Anne Coulter was accoused of being a Democrat stooge. I think the theory was that she sounded so silly it would damage the Republicans. You're becoming a little bit like that just the other way around
You didn't answer my question.
The phrase has been around for about 200 years,and the closest modern example I can think of is our nigel.
I probally wouldnt even have boris down as one tbh.
Your question stated “ are you saying”

"I have tried google,no official site though given meaning of it, Where's the link to the official site, Wikipedia doesn't really count as official" According to Collins Dictionary, the term refers to a person opposed to the extension to the British Empire ( especially back in the 19th Century) By that definition, it would fit Linus Perfectly ?? which I’m sure I dare do you knows too ?? | |||

"Well i mean the Scottish people stopped themselves from becoming independent at their last referendum lol. Lets clear something up a vote for the SNP does not mean that voter wants independence nor does a vote for Sinn Fein mean that voter wants a United Ireland. Its not that black amd white" But surely if you vote for the snp you must agree with their broad opinion? | |||

Your question stated “ are you saying”
I answered pointing out “ I wasn’t saying anything... so I did answer your question.
Are you now going to answer mine or just keep asking question after question.
Something else you always do on here, try and change the subject as you have no answer...
Answer the original question

For the 2nd time
Someone who thinks the world revolves around us
I'll add someone who sees us as superior to other countries and is in many cases dismissive of them.
They may have an lingering affection for the days we ruled the seas or at least when we won the war.
3rd and final time for you and your friend who seem incapable of reading.
The definition is at the end
Maybe I should highlight it in bold as you seem to be incapable of seeing it.
This country is England.
The clue is in the title.
And maybe I should highlight in bold my original question as you seem to have been unable to read or understand it..
Someone and us... who is someone and us...???
And we again... who is we.
Are you assuming everyone and everything here is English ?? Very little englander.
If the clue was in the title wasn’t by your reckoning a clue in the question to actually say someone from England at the start of any answer or definition and then go on to detail why..
As I've never said everyone who is English is a little englander you would assume wrong
No one said you have.
You really have missed the point my man, read it slowly and rationally and it all may make some sense to you....
Somehow I doubt it though.....
Do you often find people lose the will to lie when you engage them in conversation?
Ask a grown up for some help...
Must be just me

"Without wishing to take any particular side... I fail to see how any person who was in favour of brexit dare say that Scotland should not be allowed independence. If you think it was a good idea for Britain to divorce itself from Europe, then you have disqualified yourself from any pauthority to prevent parts of the UK wanting their own sovereignty. Conversely, anybody who was against brexit and believes in European unity, you have no right to deny Scotland it's chance to break away from the stupidity of the English and rejoin the EU. So: brexiters - you can't protest against scottish independence, you have spent the last 5 years telling anybody pro-union that they are wrong. And remainers - you can't protest against scottish independence, you have spent the last five years trying to find any possible way to stay part of the EU. Cant argue with that I've got nothing against them going their own way if thats what they want. And they have to put up with the typical little englander 'world revolves around us'attitiude. I have seen you use the term “ little englander” several times in recent posts. Would you be so kind as to tell me your definition of the term please. Well..if it was in the dictionary..it would probably be under a picture of mr nigel Farage. Who you must clearly work for. You seem so intent on making the left look daft. Come on, you're a Farage stooge aren't you
Are you saying Farage is not the epitome of a little englander?

"Not necessarily, im sure whomever you vote for you probably cant agree on every policy they have. Be it left wing or right wing if you truley have an interest in politics you will know niether ideologies will have every policy that will fit well or for the benefit of society. Real politics come from the centre. Scotland should be independent is is one assertion in a long list of what the SNP represent. " I agree. I get that with sein fein but I would have thought most of there support would be from people in favour of indy? I'm no expert though.

Id say its growing,support for a united Ireland is growing simply because of Brexit, i do predict it will dye away its simply down to the uncertainty of Brexit. Fact is if we had a referendum for a UI tomorrow it would lose hands down. Id be a united Irelander myself but not a sinn fein supporter.. A united Irelander with the right set of conditions..

"Well many predictions can be made about Brexit but until it happens then it is only hot air. Would be very historic, British colonisation goes back many many hundreds of years, Republic of Ireland is 100 years old next year as is the North of ireland. With the border thats being out in the Irish sea for trade it pushes the UI higher up an agenda and show how better we can work together on this small island rather than not. Make no mistake about it many Republicans want out of the EU also this isnt only a Brexit thing but for Ireland as a whole. " After what's happened in the past a united Ireland would be something that many people never thought would happen. I think it would be amazing. | |||

"Well we do deserve a referendum at some point but under the terms of the GFA agreement its a triple lock mechanism, if all three locks can be opened then a referendum should be had but i believe its not the right time for it. We have almost have of the population broadly classed as Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist that still feel a UI is a doomsday scenario for them and there for i do believe violence would erupt again. We are still deeply divided here, peacewalls seperate housing estates and integration education hasnt really come on a whole lot in my knowledge. Its hard to debate it with the recent troubles coming up in conversation and its a mentality we need to get out of. " Wouldnt the younger generation of loyalists be a bit more open to progress? | |||

"As a woman who is English born but lived here for 30yrs I am disappointed in the level of debate surrounding independence. It is all based on faith no hard facts,just a "it will be alright on the night " attitude . I still have an English accent and unfortunately this has caused me to receive a different level of banter these last few years. So disappointed as I still believe the Scots are fair minded people. To divide is to conquer and ask yourself this post independence who will gain ? It won't be you or me or the man in the street for sure. "I used work with several Scots and despite living in England, having English wives and English children they couldn't help but run England and the English down at every opportunity. If England were playing they even used to make a point of supporting the opposing team. It seemed to have been ingrained in them that they should just dislike the English I'm sure its not all Scottish people but that's been my experience anyway | |||
