Hoy is Scottish, but why no 'English Olympic Heroes'???

In fact the shirts will probably be blue (like the GB cycling kit) and sponsored by Irn Bru or Tennents Super....but if anyone complains, they?re likely to be labelled a racist, despite the fact the English are discriminated against every day by the McLiebour govt.

 

And, just like all the free prescriptions, free bus travel and free NHS care north of the border which is unavailable in England, every penny of this Team GB farce will be funded entirely by the English taxpayer.

[Commander Harris]

just on a point of fact, we sadly don't get free prescriptions "north of the border". It can cost me about ?30 a month sometimes.

 

also, I'm pretty sure the local manfield press will have more of a focus on Rebecca Adlington than, for example, Chris Hoy. They might even mention that she's local!

I would like to share my 2p and say the only reason that there is lots of different BBC regions down south and only one up here is THERE IS NO ONE IN HALF OUR FECKIN COUNTRY! In my opinion the reason we have one news etc for the whole country and they have separate isn't because the BBC is pro-Scotland etc, it is actually the opposite. They can't be ar$ed with us and we don't matter.

 

 

But of course, this is JUST MY OPINION

I reckon this particular trumpet is in fact BoJo on the wind up, either that or some spotty Daily Mail graduate trainee researching a full expose of the anti-english sentiment in 'yer average sweaty'.

 

Either way he makes a few of our own posters trolling look almost professional in their execution.

 

Either way he's a bell end.

Being completely honest - when I hear of a UK/British sportsman (Or person Bapswent you sexist pig..) I don't give a **** what part of the country they come from. They are representing the UK/Britain.

 

Perhaps some people think differently. I know many that don't.

 

Also most English people are more than happy for their sportsmen to be described as British. In Scotland it is more like the opposite.

[Stewart MacD]

Unfortunately, when Britain comes up, the automatic default position is Engerland. Fair enough, they have 50m people.

In future, we can have a mature, friendly relationship with them, just as the RoI does, despite all the travails imposed on that country by the English over the centuries.

I have also heard him described numerous times as British. I have also heard Coulthard described as Scottish. I have also heard Coulthard described as British.

Not strictly true. I know of many English people who get offended by the above as well, as do Welsh and some Northern Irish. To limit this exclusively to Scotland, is incorrect and dare I say, a tad naive.

good work Andy

[i8hibsh]

The OP is clearly on the wind up but I fear most of what he says is the truth

 

I can 100% understand the resentment that is starting to resonate within the English

 

We are starting to be a rogue nation. We take what best suits us and spit out the rest.

 

I love my coutry but am truly ashamed at what we are becoming.

 

Do you see our brave soldiers getting burried with Saltires, St David's or St George's flags over there coffins?

 

The fight and die to restore and upkeep the Greatness of Britain.

 

We should not be so worried about where 'our' sprts people come from, whether it be Hull, Cardiff, London or Stornoway, they represent us as one.

 

If we were all to unite it would be simply staggering what we truly could do. I'm excited about British prospects, i'm proud of what we have achieved in the past and looking forward to what we may achieve in the future.

Hi Louise

 

Could you PM me the details of the ?17 pre-paid prescription please? I get about a million tablets a month and actually use a pre payment card - but I'm sure the last time I bought one (about 3 months ago) it cost me approx ?30.

 

Cheers.

[coppercrutch]

The OP seems annoyed.

 

What nationality is the OP?

 

Fair point.

 

Should have said 'mostly' rather than 'only'.

 

You get my point though ? There are a huge number of Scots who have a serious chip on their shoulder. Of course there are a few from England too.

 

It is the 'Big country' next door syndrome.

 

Canada and NZ have it. I have lived in both places and it is pretty similar. I just find it a little petty.

 

I just don't understand how anyone could get annoyed at Coulthard being called 'British' one day then just ignore the fact he gets called 'Scottish' the next day. It does happen.

 

I don't get the big deal.

 

PS - SouthLondonJambo is the Toggie of the South !!

[Toggie88]

I'm glad this has been pointed out.

 

I don't agree with the OP, in fact the complete opposite. Why is it England is defined by it's region and the whole of Scotland is just lumped into one???

 

Scotland is a diverse nation. Shetland is a lot different to Shettleston. The Western Isles are a lot different to Wester Hailes.
