@KincorthDandies@ItsLaurenFord Scotland really is that sibling who punches you on the shoulder repeatedly and when you hit back they will respond with “see, see. I told you what they were like.”
@KnittyKittyWK 100% - if you wore an England shirt and walked through Aberdeen City centre, you'd get your head kicked in. Same when I lived in Ireland for many years. It's beyond banter, Anglophobia is part of the Scottish (and Irish) DNA.
@SirBurgerThe8th You’re pro European but pro multiculturalism?
So you see a beautiful and diverse canvas of European cultures rooted deep in history and think “what this could do with is a giant bucket slosh of cosmopolitan emulsion?”
@RoddyScott1@JimmyMcd62 Yet here you are. Again. Telling me to stop replying under my own comment, ya melt.
Go and spend your precious time with your grandkids.
@RoddyScott1@JimmyMcd62 Anti-English sentiment doesn’t require a hatred of every English person. I don’t know where to take this if you refuse to concede on that. The irony of this all taking place on such an anglophobic original post.
In limited numbers, just like anyone else then yes.
European immigrants however are some of the worst offenders of immigrant saviour comlex. They all seem to have a very cosmopolitan sneering contempt and superiority complex over the English, particularly the working class. It’s usually fed by the Guardianista class.
The English working class were left behind in the transition from a manufacturing economy to a tertiary economy. If you look at the working class populations of most other European countries, you will find far higher levels of education, ambition and social mobility. Far less classism.
@itisdaf@TheHughAnthony Unless he is one of the few who can trace a distinct lineage, no Englishman is of Norman ancestry. They were 5% at their most populous.
The English aren’t Anglo Saxons they’re Celto-Germanic.
25-40% Germanic, the vast remaining Ancient Brythonic.
