This fucking country.

What is it about this country? Every time they're in trouble, they get bailed out. Every time they're on the ropes, a savior swoops in to rescue them. Multiple times throughout history they've been brought to the brink of disaster, only for some of the most brilliant leaders and statesmen of all time to ride in on a white horse and bring about the most unlikely triumphs.

After expelling the French through shrewd politics, they seem to have inexplicably become God's favorite country. Fuck all your reasonable answers, do you know how many storms blew up out of nowhere to fuck up enemy ships? How many times bad weather or freak occurances stopped enemy militaries from crushing their way to the Home Isles? How often they got unnaturaly badass warriors? Their five national traits are withdrawn uptightness, hooliganism, tenaciousness, and blatant fucking divine intervention.

Falklands was nonsense pretty sure like 2 people wanna leave, dunno what he was on about.

Scotland lost the referendum but came fucking close all things considered and I think they'll leave a hell of a lot sooner than we think.

Unionism is already dying a slow death in NI, because the Unionist parties aren't recruiting enough young people to match the old people fucking dying.
Most "Unionists" are just chavs who take part in the 11th and 12th but rarely actually vote, and Irish identity and culture is growing in popularity.

>Scotland - They lost the Referendum and there won't be another for a long time

Speaking as a Scot, it's actually a difficult one to judge, the SNP may be an awful party in power, and weak administrators, but they know how to play their cards expertly (with the exception of their 1979 gamble), despite their defeat in the referendum they've succesfully kept the independence campaign alive (though most polls suggest lowered support now despite and immediate boost afterwards; and polls seem to over exaggerate the yes vote) by capitalising on anything major in the news which they can spin against the Westminster government. Their current gambit is demanding a referendum if the UK as a whole votes to leave the EU and Scotland votes to remain (likely outcome, but Scots are not as Pro-EU as some older studies tend to suggest). The UK government rightfully guaranteed no new referendum while Cameron was still in office (remember the SNP touted this as a once in a lifetime vote), the SNP plan here is that if the UK government blocks another early referendum they'll try to spin that around as evidence of Scotland being held down by the government, which will either be successful in boosting yes support, or disastrously backfire and have the SNP portrayed as opportunists who could not care less about promises they've made to the public. It really depends on one's definition of 'a long time', there's two possibilities, an extremely early referendum held in the aftermath of the June EU referendum, with either Cameron bowing to pressure and accepting a multilateral referendum again, or if the vote is heavily in favour of the EU the SNP could take the Catalonian approach with a unilateral referendum as suggested by some Nationalist groups and even fringes of the SNP parliamentary group though its unlikely, otherwise it will be ' a long time' until another opportunity arises for the SNP to exploit, it's incredibly difficult issue to predict.

England has for a long time had a far higher population than the other "nationalities" they don't really need you to bulk the army or workforce. The only useful member of the union is scotland as they are on par or maybe even slightly superior to the English when it comes to innovation and they have oil. The Welsh and Irish are trash, deal with it.

As a British person, I can agree. We've taken over a lot of the world and DESU the politicians over here are dirty sheep fuckers (literally). Corruption, lies, broken promises. Anonymous need to haul their attention over here- Obama gets all the credit for false promises and yet you have the pathetic corruption of this little island which made us all heroes when we're just as bad as Anyone else, and we've lied our plenty. I make an appeal to Anonymous to exploit this. Yes, I'm a little cynical internet faggot and you can roast away, Gotta admit I sound a bit cheesy myself- but what I'm saying is I agree with this idea- why DO we always get saved? We are tiny and we somehow made ourselves so so important.
