Collect evidence and post it here! en-us 2021-09-27 16:07:38 UTC 2021-09-28 07:47:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2694.png I wouldn't say we hate the English...but there is some rivalry (which goes back a long time in history), so of course we like it when some other team beats them at football :p:But, we don't really have anything against them personally (i.e. we wouldn't not speak to someone just because they are English...well i wouldn't anyway since 2 of my cousins are half-english.Although, i've noticed we just don't really associate ourselves with England...lots of scottish people would call themselves "Scottish" instead of "British", including myself, because we like to be part of our own country! Silly really :p: https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773740522 2021-09-28 07:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773740522 Scotland-England relationship https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773743396 In 1587 Mary, Queen of Scots was executed for treason on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I, after she feared she was planning to steal the throne from her. If Elizabeth took an extreme action against Scots nobility here in her lifetime, however, her death, where-after she did not leave an heir, meant that King James VI of Scotland inherited the English crown. This brought the two countries together under one monarch. Later, in 1707, the Act of Union brought the English and Scottish parliaments together. This was to be the most lasting and influential moment between the Scots and the English: It created the new state of Great Britain]]> 2021-09-28 07:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773743396 https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773762334 the English laugh at the Scottish, patronise them, look down on them, don’t care about them, etc, etc. None of this is true. The English Left have always admired the Scottish, and used to think of Scotland (and to an extent Wales) as the backbone of British Socialism. The English Right, on the other hand, also admire the Scottish, and think of them as the backbone of the British army.]]> 2021-09-28 07:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773762334 https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773763071 Are the Scots anti-English? Are the English anti-Scots? No, not on the whole. But it's worth asking why we always talk about the former when there is far more evidence for the latter.]]> 2021-09-28 07:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773763071 Scotland v England https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773768693 I’m English, and I’ll probably be called a c*** and told to **** off, but I’ve noticed a change over the last ten years.

They will always be the first to insult and try to put down the other, never allowing each other a compliment unless absolutely necessary. At the same time, if a stranger was to come and oppose either of them, they’d be the first to stand up for each other.]]> 2021-09-28 07:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773776564 Perhaps some of the most enduring ill-feeling between the two countries came as a result of the English, in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, performing the Highland Clearances. This involved English landlords evicting their tenants to clear the land for sheep, cattle and mining. Many families were burnt out of their homes https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773784766 2021-09-28 07:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773784766 Why the Scots hate the English https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773786032  The number one thing that grinds our gears about our neighbours is that they are always banging on about winning the World Cup in 1966. ]]> 2021-09-28 07:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773786032 Scotland vs England https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773787272 Most Scots think the English are just fine. For a long time, the populations of the two countries have engaged in friendly rivalry when it comes to sport, just like adjacent cities or even adjacent districts. Sometimes, fanatics, ‘fans’, have taken things too far. Someone always does. However, as two highly integrated populations working within and contributing to a single economic and political Union there is immense day to day interplay between them.]]> 2021-09-28 07:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773787272 "That the UK’s union of four nations is under strain is not new to anyone who has been paying attention. But the combined impacts of Brexit, Covid-19 and the Conservative government under Boris Johnson are driving an increasing wedge between Scotland and the rest of the UK – or, more accurately, between Scotland and England." https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773800074 https://fedtrust.co.uk/scotlands-england-problem/]]> 2021-09-28 07:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773800074 What English think about Scottish? https://padlet.com/sibyllehunziker/uigc5qdafa84xbo6/wish/1773805737 It exists very different people that love Scottish guys ,I love Scotland and its people. I’ve been up a bunch of times and hosted a few guests and always felt welcomed, safe and involved. I felt like the people really made an effort to include me in what ever was happening" or who don't like them so much,,Cranky, grumpy, hard drinking, sweary, rude…opinionated…incomprehensible".
 In my opinion, they have the same culture and values, just slight variations in accent and sense of humour.
