Copy and pasted from Facebook link 


What did the English ever do for Scotland "Saved Scotland from Darien Bankruptcy by sharing England's established trade routes". Scotland never looked back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3HnMLq8m9U

The Industrial Revolution began in England and spread out from there across Europe.  See Here For More


"The 'nasty' English, they are so awful.. they gave us nothing.. except the Metropolitan police force, the Salvation Army, the scout movement, the nature reserve, the RSPCA, the lifeboat, fire engine, the translated bible, general anaesthetic, vitamin supplements, ultrasound, blood transfusion, modern day water & sewerage systems, William Wilberforce, Florence nightingale & Emily Pankhurst.. they kicked off the industrial revolution, the call to arms against the Nazis, the 60s cultural & musical revolution (with a touch of US influence) the age of the internet (the web).. they discovered hydrogen & oxygen, gave us the universal law of gravity, the higgs boson, calculus, the theory of evolution, DNA profiling & sequencing, fingerprinting, Grays anatomy & contributed greatly to the periodic table of elements.. they gave us the typewriter, the motion picture, 3D computer games, radio, radar, stereophonic sound, television broadcasting, fibre optics, texting, 3D printer, electronic calculator, computer programming, MP3 & the microchip... ... grand national, rugby, cricket, F1, snooker, the modern Olympics.. the turbo jet engine, the steam locomotive, industrial internal combustion engine, the lathe, the screw propellor, light bulb, diesel engine, hydraulic press, stainless steel, electrical generator.. first Iron bridges & structures, steam turbine, widespread railways, the aircraft carrier, the tank, fighter aircraft, airliner, submarine, hovercraft, the tractor, the power loom, the spinning frame, carbon fibre... the Beatles, Alfred Hitchcock, Charles dickens, John Constable, Jess Ennis, David Attenborough & Winston Churchill.. Wembley stadium, the Land Rover, St. Paul's cathedral, abbey road studios.. I could go on & on.. heck, even the late great Muriel sparks was half English, the flying Scotsman, the forth bridge.. both designed by Englishmen! LOL Oh ya & it was the English who basically paid off all Scottish debt after the Scots failed in an attempt to set up two Scottish (an attempt at empire basically..) colonies in North America, almost bankrupting themselves in the process & ultimately leading to the act of union with England.. 
I love Scotland, it's ingenuity & it's contributions to history too, hate the cult & its Anglophobic elements.."
