All that talk about sports and England/Scotland reminded me of an old thought I had: If all the football federations in the UK had been united since 1960 or so, there never would have been a Scotish independance referendum. Is that a silly thougth from an outsider only ,or do I have a point ?

It's an interesting alternative history hook. It seems if such a thing were to have happened it would have been a result of some other significant thing. Like a civil war.

Did everyone forget the numerous politoons about the Scots being heroin addicts and "subsidy junkies" that abounded during 2014?

A good majority of those were from Stanley McMurtry, who is a professional poo poo.

I'm not going to speculate on whether that makes him a 'self hating Scot', but he is a 'big prick'.

London did it, either as a way of unifying populations (like trying to eradicate Welsh) or just as a consequence of where they put their money; one of the drivers of dying Northern dialects was all the radio stations being BBC English throughout most of the 20th century.

There are some who theorise the rise of Scottish independence sentiment is because we don't have regular Scotland England international games any more.

The posters who first brought this up were comparing their experience of living in the smaller nations to that of black Americans. Yours is a very different definition.

I had this in NI but I have never thought of this as English privilege because none of my teachers were from England. Again, if we're now defining English privilege as the historical imposition of a dominant language and culture over others that we are still feeling the effects of then this is a very different idea to what was being suggested earlier. An important starting point in this very different debate though would be to define exactly who among "the English" was asserting that language and culture and I would suggest the need to be clear that it has gently caress all to do with the vast majority of people who happen to live in England today.

I don't think anyone was blaming the vast majority of ordinary English people?

If we need to be united over vomitng over something, here is Jeremy Hunt:

quote:

Hunt claims the mantle of one nation Conservatism, saying his party has not had the chance to implement it during this decade. He says:

"Everything [David Cameron] wanted to do was eclipsed by the need for huge public spending cuts and austerity after the financial recession. Theresa May arrived as a one nation Conservative and had to deal with Brexit. So we have really never had a chance to show the British people what one nation Conservatism can be."

Labour is trying to appeal against this being admissable, it looks like.

Also, confirmed that this is the last time they'll be able to vote on the WA without changing its actual content (or finding another procedural trick).

I live in a district that, in local elections, has more UKIP votes than Labour. My ward votes overwhelmingly Conservative with UKIP and Labour being roughly tied at 2nd place.

I should knock on doors but in truth I have no idea what my Conservative district council has voted on and what Labour would do differently. There's no website publishing its meetings or decisions. I'd just be pestering people for crosses in boxes with nothing to back it up.

For Azza and anyone else interested in this, you will be prepared by your session leader before going out as to what the issues are! It's not just deciding to knock doors yourself, your local branch/CLP organises it.

No, they were implying that English people don't suffer it though, which lots of them do. There is definitely accent/dialect privilege, it's just not 'English' privilege.

Yeah - this is more squared at MPs who potentially will support the backstop in exchange for having control over the future relationship being taken away from May.

Though of course as May will resign once the WA goes through that means the future relationship as actually at the mercy of the new leader of the Tory party and without statutory footing to place the future relationship in the hands of parliament it's a pretty bland offer, basically leaving the future relationship open for a later date but clearing a path for one possibly even worse than what she proposed being persued by her successor
