    As an Englishman I must say that it is heartwarming to see that some parts of this once proud Island are proud to keep their traditions alive. In England, it seems, we have either forgotten how to or are just not allowed to do this anymore. To any Scottish and Welsh folk who may come across this comment.... "Please do not ever lose your National identity, keep up your traditions, protect them well and pass them on with pride to your children". England has lost its own identity, please don't let the same thing happen to you good Folk.

      I'm a New Zealander with both English and Scottish heritage. It saddens my heart to see what England has become, and so many other western nations. I wish that people would stop feeling that it's racist to want to preserve their culture and heritage...it's not. Wars have been fought to prevent foreign nations from invading other countries, yet we are supposed to believe that it's wrong to object to our cultures being forever changed by demographic replacement...all without our consent. I too hope that people will rise up to protect their heritage before it's too late. In some countries it may already be. 😔

      It was Robert the Bruce King of Scots who defended Bannockburn and beat the largest Army England ever assembled, Roberts small force of 7000 in Schiltrons form with Mobility attack/Defence with 600 light horse and few Archers in middle of Schiltrons drove 3 thousand heavy horse and Men in Arms and over 15000 footsoldier plus Welsh bowmen ended up being totaly routed, King Edward fled himself and was lucky James Douglas never got him with only 70 horsemen while Edward had 500 personal quard. He left his Army to be Slaughtered, Aye the ones who never drowned trying to flee with their big expensive Armour.

      Does anyone else go online and watch the tattoo competitions? It's really quite moving and exhilarating! Several years ago I attended the Tattoo/Highland Games at Stone Mountain, just outside Atlanta. What a thrill it was to watch all those pipe & drum bands playing & marching in mass. They covered the entire field. I was crying and cheering like crazy. I would love to travel to Scotland to see the tattoo at Edinburgh Castle. I've watched it online but just know the "up close & personal" version would be so much more thrilling. There is also a large Highland Games exhibition with pipe bands at Grandfather Mountain, NC. Ahhhhhhh, bliss.

      Ww1 was a different time yes but many stood out against the war at the time, much like iraq, so it’s not right to say “it was the times” because many many people opposed it and were jailed for doing so. Ww2 is different of course, that was a worthy war.
      About nukes, I don’t believe in nuclear deterrents, i believe in protecting our borders, no country would be mad enough to nuke Scotland or England. Scotland doesn’t want them and they’ve costed us billions. As for a “united kingdom”, i don’t want a kingdom, i want a scottish republic. Also i don’t live on “one island” my country of Scotland had 700 islands. Scotland and England need to break away for both our sakes, we’re too different.
      I believe culture is wealth and makes people happy and neither of our countries can have a real national culture while we’re split and confused between english or British and in Scotland Scottish or British. In your country a lot of people (especially metropolitan city folk) barely call themselves “english” because they think it sounds bad. England needs to be it’s own country.
