The post that was quoted here has been removedMy comment wouldn't make sense If I was conflating "British" with "English". Scotland is part of the UK: I was saying that Scots identify much more strongly as Scots than as part of the UK, especially older Scottish citizens.
This is also the case for the English, but for obvious reasons, there's more weight in the Scots having that strong sense of nationalism.

Why do all our western/white/European heroes have to be picture perfect plaster saints with no faults?
They are just human after all, why try to destroy their place in history by magnifying their warts and belittling their accomplishments?
You want to play the blame game let's talk about some of of the "heroes" of the left.
