Why do the Scots hate the English.?

Sibbs .

I really don't know. I live in Scotland and it amazes me that in this day and age there's still this bigotry going about. The Scots will say it's only a joke and a laugh, but during the World Cup a young boy and a disabled man were beat up for wearing England shirts. It's ridiculous.

The Scots go on about being independent but research has shown that Scotland can't survive economically on it's own. Each year for the last 10 years (on which the study was taken, subtracting outcome from income from Scottish exports only) showed that during the best year Scotland was Â£1.1 BILLION in debt.

There's a part of me that wants to give Scotland it's independence, just so the country can fall apart under it's own arrogance.

Hi.

You need to learn about the UKÂ´s history then youÂ´ll have a better idea about that. It is an ancient problem.

same reason northern americans hate the southern americans, same reason the mexicans hate the latin americans, same reason canadians hate the americans, same reason the americans hate the mexicans, same reason the french hate the english, same reason the germans hate the russians, same reason the japanese hate the chinese, same reason the british hate the australians, same reason ... oh whatever

I could tell you , have you got a spare couple of days?

I'm sure for the same reason the English and the French have traditionally not got along. It's a rivalry passed down for generations. It probably goes alot deeper than the arguably "arrogant south east".

It's much cheaper to hate the English as they are next door, (a Scotsman canna turn down a bargin like that,)
The truth is despite being enslaved by the Vikings and made fun of by the Irish and Welsh, it's the English that dressed them in kilts when they introduced civilization to the assorted Celtic tribes.
No man from a cold windy country can ever forgive being dressed in a skirt and conned into believing it's a national tradition.

everyone is entitled to there opinion,see the Scots are here stealing all the top jobs,IE government,for me there is only one nation English,so deal with it.and for one of the answers on here earlier,the union jack rag was introduced by a jock anyway,James1,and it is only right that the English should have stole all your money,to pay for the damage you have caused,and we have a right to be arrogant in the south east its where all the money is,peasants

Even many of the english people from the north dont like the southerners. I know thats a generalisation but you meet plenty who live down to their reputation, believe me!!! I do mean live down to & not live up to, its not an error

See verse 2 of "The National Anthem"
Also something about us stealing all their North Sea gas.

However with their own Scottish ( and Welsh) parliaments they have got us to butt out of their business....except they can still vote in the London parliament and affect things in England!.....

and Mel Gibson had to go and drag it all up again with " Braveheart"

however , are you sure you have a representative group of Scots ????
( football supporters)?

Given that they are so canny, one must believe that they have very good reasons. Perhaps it has to do with the English condescending attitude to all Celts. I don't accept that Scotland is economically dependent on England. Sure didn't they say the same thing about Ireland.

Because the English especially the South East are the scum of the earth

Why are so many of you out there so bigoted? You condemn a nation based on the actions of some not all of them. Everyone is an individual and should be treated as such regardless of where they come from. You know on applications where it asks for race? I always mark another box and put HUMAN. Get to know someone on a personal level and don't 'generalise' - you are missing out on a lot of good people - and I don't just mean Scots vs English - this is to everyone who shuns someone because of where they were born.

Right or wrong, look to William Wallace - the long collective memories of a national identity.

can i be your pet?

they've got history & the ones that know about it might find their views coloured by knowledge of that history.

have you ever really listened to the English commentators,especially the football ones motson and co,they are so biased against anyone in any sport that play England.and they keep going on about 1966.it is not your ordinarily English person that most people dislike it is the pompus ones that get right up your nose.rule Brittania.

I am English and I lived in Scotland for two and a half years believe me HISTORY still plays a big part up there. Most of the Scots walk around with a chip on their shoulders to this day. They are still VERY clannish up their and if you are from south of the border they wouldn't give you a chance. We came back to England last December, we should have done it sooner. I was ripped off in many ways by the Scottish people. Their so called fail safe sell a house in Scotland failed me, there is someone up there walking around several thousands of pounds of my money because they broke a contract I had with them. I hope she rots in whatever place she goes to after this life. I would most certainly advice anybody who is not scottish to stay out of Scotland. They financially ruined me!

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MORONS ON HERE?

Why do you spread nonsense like that.They don't.

Scots are jealous of the English. Jealous of England's green and pleasant land. Jealous of England's more prestigious history and wealth. They always have been, always will be.

what planet are you on
or more importantly where are you from
if you're English - enough said
if you're not - then have you ever met any English people?
that's the answer
the arrogance and crass stupidity of the English
requires the rest of the UK
to be dismissive of them

If Scotland play a team outside of U.K i would support the other team [unless it was Germany or France]

We need a home nations cup so we can all play each other & watch England play with pride again!

For heavens sake - who do the Scots really like? More seriously they know that their current standard of living is subsidised by English taxpayers - and when were the recipients of charity truly grateful?

Who cares what the haggis chasers think? You do know what a Jock is dont you? a Geordie with his brains kicked in.
