The Scots want their country back from the English.

...feeling owned...

Ever since the foundation of the United Kingdom, it's been jointly 'owned' by its partner countries. England does not, and never has 'owned' Scotland. Scotland is not, and never has been a colony. The Union is just that - a voluntary partnership of equals. It's not the result of invasion, defeat, occupation, subjugation or colonisation. Although the rhetoric of the more excitable Scotnats (aided and abetted by Hollywood myth-making) might do its best to convince you otherwise.

Ask the typical Scotsman on the street and they might give a different opinion. Importantly, the referendum is tilting towards independence, and the justification is almost a Tea Party vs. establishment fight. But in this case, I think that is just the surface battle.

The bottom line is that nobody likes the English. Even the English don’t like the English. And after a hundred years of their tearing down their own country out of official shame at what their ancestors did, just about everybody is sick of their self-effacing, ‘it’s all our fault’ attitude.

At the same time, the Scots have to wonder how they would do on their own. And this really matters to people. Like the impulse grown children have to move out of their parents home, if they can.
