    The British Empire was totally indifferent to the catastrophic Irish famine 1845-50, which reduced the population from 8 million to 4.5 million, through starvation and emigration, mostly to North America. Britain's destruction of Ireland was genocidal and utterly racist. Scotland will leave the UK for other reasons, but it will leave the UK eventually.

  • @billysponge1 It's "Scotland", not 'scottland'.

  • Fuck sake, hurry up and get yourselves your own independent parliament.

  • so many ignorant and deluded idiots here, englishness is for people who wish to be identified with england via its traditions customs and principles , if you r born here or not and regardless of colour you would be welcome unlike as my experience in scottland , ireland or wales they have not matured enough in my view to welcome the english in their country as they believe we the english are occupiers like some army, grow up we welcome you all here in england

  • @c1991kit Yeah because taking the homes away by force for the benefit of the ruling classes in Britain is defiantly the best thing thats ever happened! oh and not to mention, leaving the majority of countries in mass poverty!

  • Bragg is a confusing case. He's allegedly left wing, yet bangs on about nations and flags? I don't give a fuck about flags. It's all about how the human race is, not just the English. Bit narrow minded if you ask me.

  • @wullieready yes and my opinion is that if a national party gets into power he will swing with all the other traitors.

  • NOT BEING RUDE BUT WHATS ENGLANDS NATIONAL DRESS

  • FREE ENGLAND. IM SCOTTISH ID LOVE HER 2 BE FREE
