How many English people want the Scots to stay?

Oh no. Please say you want us to stay. It would mean so much to us.

Let Scotland have independence.

Then invade

Take the oil and the whisky distillerys - there is f all else worth having

plenty farmland perth

Net immigration figures for 2014 were 260,000. Of which only 8,000 ended up in Scotland. Say what you want about immigrants but they're not stupid.

If Scotland were to leave and then   the UK were forced to have 2nd referendum then we should  win by even more votes.

The scots I've met are decent people.
I'll vote to keep them.
When's the vote?

All the decent ones leave.

Clare Grogan can stay

I think the Scottish are unfortunately getting dragged through the mud due
to that mad cow

Rod Stewart wants them to stay

What does Brendan Cox say about it?

don't know the BBC have stop interviewing Brendan since the result, wonder why.

We do have some good teachers of English. You only have to ask.

When the Scots tried to get their independence the English said they would not be allowed them into England because if they were independent they would not be in the EU.Its sort of the shoe starting to go on the other foot.

Connery news

stich that

I do

We all do.

Dont be fooled.

I have so many scottish mates living in england who dont understand NS.

The Scots are an integral part of us and they wont be leaving because they're not stupid.

I voted no last time,but I will hopefully get the chance to vote yes, which I won't pass up. If that makes me stupid, then I'm happy to be so. You would have to use a stronger word than stupid to describe those fooled by a xenophobic con artist into flushing their futures down the stank. Enjoy having your country back, Scotland is heading for something better.

The UK voted leave the EU because we have little influence in Brussels and pay in billions.  The Scots have an influence in the UK well beyond their numbers (think Blair, Brown and Cameron for a start) and they get considerably more per capita than the English.  The North Sea is in crisis - negative income this year.  Decommissioning costs well in excess of £50 billion (most of which will be paid the UK or Scottish government).  As I said, the Scots will not vote out so why waste the money?

now that the oil price has plummeted?

it'll go back up - once the markets implode the zero rate.

When you weigh up what Scotland get from being in the UK compared with what they put in - including voting power, influence etc it makes you wonder why they
would want out.

I know some Scots who genuinely do bear grudges for Scotland's treatment by England up to 250 years ago.

It might create difficulties if they left the UK, but I think they would suffer more than us.

It's funny how the English feel put upon by EU ruling them with their laws. But don't see they're doing the same to Scotland. ?

a nation thats revenue streams depend mostly on the volatile oil industry.said commodity expected to be exhausted within 100 years.

quite amazing foresight and forward planning wanting independance.

oil revenues are almost the same as whiskey revenues.

During the world war britain used whiskey revenues as a large source of their income to finance the war.

i don't drink. But there is a lot of Booze hounds that love the stuff.

what do you think mizz merkel,shut the door on the way out mizz sturgeon unless your people want,austerity x 2 greek style

scots unfortunately are going nowhere

Oil will go the same way as coal.. loads of it but nobody will want it.Newer cleaner forms of energy will be used Why do the Saudis spend loads of money building hotels and promoting tourism?because they know over the next few years the demand for oil will start falling So if the Scots are expecting their oil supplies to  save them they are wrong

The Scots have always been a valued part of the Union as far as I'm concerned and the fact that they are even considering independence can be blamed on successive British Governments losing touch with the Scottish people.

I do...they are needed

Since they voted two years ago to stay with the UK they are staying
They cannot change their mind every time the UK makes a democratic decision they don't like

They should have seen that two years ago!

I think the Scottish make the UK a great place . Without them Britain would suffer .  As well as the masses of Scots returning north  as a result.

I feel betrayed by their sheep mentality .. we should cut off their methadone presciptions

also some brilliant inventors , don't forget Yogi Bear  .

I like the Scots, very good for banter

No one in England outside London want the Scots to stay.

Nor do they want any Poles, Estonians, Latvians, etc. etc.

What needs to happen is that nicola I want I want sturgeon can't keep calling for a referendum every five minutes just because that's all she's interested in.

Never met a bad Scot so if that's what they want fair play but it needs to be put to bed for a good few years.

Sturgeon will not call another referendum. It is a ludicrous notion when rUK outside EU.

No one in England outside London want the Scots to stay.

Nor do they want any Poles, Estonians, Latvians, etc. etc
quite true statement unfortunately...
shows that racisn and bigotry is alive and well, you must be so proud..

makes me howl with laughter when the uk bandies the word racist about like confetti but at the same wetting their pants and crying about leaving the eu,which doesnt have closet racists but full frontal in your face racisim in places like spain,croatai,germany,italy etc, you couldnt make it up
