@Glazertwalker The federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25.

The average minimum wage across Europe (Europe is a continent, not a country) is $16.83.

We Europeans are fine. We are also richer in history and culture as many nations are 100s of years older than the US. Wealth isn't just $$$$

@Dystopedia1 @CarefreeHarvey @MarkAgitprop The political issues still play a part today and the grievances are still the same as they were then with a little less violence.

Ask any Scot, they will tell ye, it is the ruling elite that resentment is aimed at. Most English people are fine. Make the distinction.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Dystopedia1 @CarefreeHarvey @MarkAgitprop When have the people in any nation liked the decisions of the ruling classes?

If the Highland clearances never happened, I don't think there would be as much deep seated resentment towards the English ruling classes.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Dystopedia1 @CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Think you need to brush up on your history. No one "won" because there was no fight and according to the text of the acts of Union, the political sphere joined in mutual agreement amongst the ruling class of the day.

@kth1415 @randomnotts1862 @MarkAgitprop Erm no it is not. There are similarities in culture but we are not the same. Never have been, never will be.

I don't boo at football events because football (the game) bores the shite out of me. The spectacle of the fans, however, is fun to watch.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@kth1415 @randomnotts1862 @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Remember 46% of Scots don't want to be part of the UK and a lot more are republican. The full UK national anthem also has anti-scottish lines in it.

Understand the culture, Understand the reasons.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop The troubles were not that long ago remember and the Irish can hold a grudge.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop That was the Irish and they have issues with the monarchy that are deep rooted.

Many in England still bang on about the Germans. That is deep rooted in your culture.

Understand the culture, Understand the reason.

3 convos going on in one thread hence the mention of the Scots

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Feelinitgoodsir @randomnotts1862 @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop England fans have been involved in riots in every international tournament they qualified to since 1996. Scotland fans, once in the same time frame.

We are not the same.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Not heard the tartan army chanting anything about the death of a woman at the world cup. If you have evidence, please provide.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Dystopedia1 @CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Historical facts man. Queen Elizabeth I did not have an heir. James was the closest relative to her and became king of England as well as the king of Scotland.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop I think you'll find it is Westminster and the monarchy that we loath. The majority of English are fine people but your hooligan culture in football brings a bad reputation to the rest of you.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop My grandad was alive in 1920 when the Black and Tans were sent into Ireland. I grew up with the troubles. The issues run deep and are still an issue to this day. The only difference is that they do it through laws rather than force now.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Dystopedia1 @CarefreeHarvey @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop See the scots were not conquered by England. It was King James VI of Scotland (1st of England) that united the crowns. Technically speaking, it was the Scots that conquered England without a fight.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@randomnotts1862 @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Since 1996, between the Euros and the world cup, English fans have caused issues at 14 of the 15 tournaments (didn't qualify for euro 2008).

Only 1 reported incident at the international level for the scots which was 98. There was a small incident in Spain with celtic fans 2019

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@randomnotts1862 @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Silent protest done with humour as opposed to the vocal animosity towards the Scots and the Germans from ingerlund fans.

Tartan army partying hard but no issues with the police and locals want them to stay. England fans evicted from a bar by the police.

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Also, Ireland is not my country 🤷‍♂️

[Darth Sqirel @DSqirel]

@than_whiter @Deevo_1993 @MarkAgitprop Racist for calling out the reason why the Irish boo the British national anthem?? Think you need to learn the definition of racism 🤔
