Question

What do the Scottish think of the English?

Answer 1

Don't give a sh*t about them either way, some are @rseholes, some are OK, same as any other nationality.

Answer 2

Don't know as lots of British people have some Scottish, English, Welsh or Irish in them or have family and friends from there, so most don't care. Sometimes there are idiots who make a comment about football and as most football fans are idiots where even people from the next town hate each other, it sometimes ends up turning into WW3. Sometimes people from other countries come on here and pretend to be Scottish or English just to get people from Britain to be nasty to each other.

Answer 3

Okay, I'm Scottish.

The Scottish hating English thing is not as extreme as some people think.

But there is an element of truth, I don't particularly like the attitude of some of them tbh. BUT MOST ARE OKAY. (:

Answer 4

they hate us for being better and more important than them and they envy our ability to keep calm and not thumb down when provoked

Answer 5

Well...I'm Welsh, but we have a lot in common with our Scotch and Irish Brothers and Sisters, so I don't think they'd mind me giving an opinion here. All our Countries were invaded by and stolen by ruthless british kings or queens over the centuries. We were brave, proud societies  with our own cultures long before there was a britain. The british did a lot of nice things to help us remember them by, if you saw  the movie  "brave heart." that'll give you an idea what they were like to their neighbors. They also imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots in the Tower of London and beheaded her too. The Scotch will never forget that.!  They fought the Irish for three hundred years too. They also beheaded the last real Prince of Wales Llewellen and king edward the first who ordered this treacherous deed had the plausibility to confer the title to his nephew.   charles together with his geeky sons unethically use it to this day and there not even Welsh.  I'd have more claim to Welsh royalty, not that I'd want it.! They built numerous castles in Scotland and Wales too but we still kicked their butts.!

They outnumbered us, but we were meaner and militarily smarter. I wouldn't like them if I was a Scot, I hope Scotland does break away and keep all that oil oh yeah, that would amuse the queen. (lol) If we all went our own ways, england would look like a parking lot. But at least we wouldn't have to let all those eastern european and other losers in from everywhere like the useless british government do. Cause, if Scotland did go it alone, gordon brown would have to look for another job wouldn't he.? he'd be a bloody foreigner here too.(lol)

Answer 6

Being a Scot, living in England with an Englishman of 10 years, I can honestly say I have seen good and bad Scots,

good and bad Englishmen

and lot of good and bad 'others'! ...

an awful lot of stigma attached to the titles.

In days gone by, it used to be a problem but I was on the understanding that we had all grown up by now.

Unfortunately Mr B, (he who is in power (grr) hasn't really done very much for the tartan image!

Scottish and proud? Yes, cos it's where I come from and I can't help that.

England? As good a place as any and just as friendly only not so well publised for it!

Answer 7

Now that is quite hard to answer as I have both in my blood and a bit of Irish too. Obviously I like everyone but there is a bit of animosity. Not between individuals but  politically.

Answer 8

Don't they hate them? From what i gathered from movies and tv, they are not particular to the english...

Answer 9

We don't mind the English, just idiots that try to stir up problems between our two nations, as some of your other answers attest.

Answer 10

ime English and my best mate is Scottish, i work  with lots of Scottish people(on oil rigs) and have never had a problem, i get more abuse from people who live in southern England (i am a northerner) so by the Scottish people who do hate the English most will tell you its mostly the southerners that they are on about, if you understand what i mean....

Answer 11

Well i'll keep this clean, but we think very little of them. Not individuals, we can get on with individual English people but as a whole we don't like them. Mostly because they're arrogant and obnoxious, also because of the manner in which many people don't seem to get that we're an independant country (and better). But we also think of them as a bit useless (and posh) since we beat them even though they had the serious upper-hand :P in the Wars of Independence. They're very jealous of us too, not just because we beat them but also because we're better. All in all its a very mixed relationship. ( this isn't a serious response and is meant in a very tongue in cheek manner, I do actually like most English people, a lot of my family and friends are, the only ones i don't like are those who think they have some superiority over us)

Edit: yea so, not only is Glasgow the Murder Capital of Europe, Scotland has the worst health in Europe in terms of smoking, drinking and heart disease, highest rates of teen pregnancy and STDs, huge rates of drug misuse and dealing etc. but we're still better if only because we can survive it and we ain't as boring lol :P However you ever accuse me of supporting Celtic again and this discussion might lose it's humourous tone (nah i'm just kidding, even though i support Rangers, say what you like lol)

Answer 12

They probably think we're posh and up our own arses, and that we are very controlling. But only because of the political base.

Answer 13

They think we are mugs happy to subsidise them and allow them to rule our country and run everything in it for their benefit.
