Don't get me wrong.
I'd happily be independant of England.
The English have a nack at saying things so arrogant that it rubs the rest of the planet up the wrong way. Even the Americans and Germans.
Hell every minor sporting achievement is blown so far out of proportion that winning the World Tiddly-winks Championships is somehow akin to the glory of 1966. And then we are reminded of 1966 and that they will win it again next time as a matter of course. Unless they meet Germany or Argentina.
Anyhow, I digress.
We are not all racist tattie-heads. (We just don't like the English very much
).
