Scotland Supports Norway

 

There is on Twitter one of those interminable debates, began by an arrogant and clearly ignorant Englishman, in which the English demand to know why Scots refuse to support England.  Let's put aside the fact that they are well aware of the reason and restate the obvious to them here.  For over a thousand years England has sought to dominate Scotland.  They failed to do this by force so in 1707 they succeeded by bribery and corruption, something they are indeed good at.

 

 
Taking advantage of the economic failure of the 'Darien Expedition,' the English refused to trade with European nations trading with Scotland, closed the Scottish border, bribed the Lairds and threatened their land in England also.  Scotland could have recovered well from Darien, it was not allowed to do so, England then killed Scotland to steal his wealth, and indeed her people.

Edinburgh was dead for 50 years after this, only the 1745 Stewart rebellion caused Westminster to engage with Scotland again, unwillingly.   While the Lairds threw the people off the land and replaced them with more economic sheep, thus forcing many to emigrate to Canada and the USA and also, forcing many men into a 'Scottish Army.'  This of course was under English control, dressed according to English ideas of Highlanders, they then now claimed these men enjoyed being 'British.''   I suppose the Indians, Africans, Egyptians, and others forced into British uniforms enlisted for the sake of the Queen also?  It's better than being shot by them.  Today Scotland watches as Westminster steals her electricity, while charging her higher fees than the English pay, plans to steal her water on the cheap, and plans also to override her devolution Parliament and ignore the wishes of her people.

Yet they say 'Support England?'  

 

All true Scots will support norway tonight as they take on England in the World Cup.  They will also have to take on the biased referee, VAR and the Fifa president.  All Scotland, bar Rangers fans and Tories, will support Norway, from whom many of us are descended anyway.  If the racist colonists win we will not hear the end of it.
