Like the clearing of the Highlands, for example, where their rights were ignored and thus made to feel like they were treated as inferior. There is also the fact that Scotland is not on a par with England financially or health-wise. It's like the reason why Conservatives struggle in the north of England, investment has predominated in the south east and so they feel a slight.<br />Of course, there is the all-too-often ignored fact that London's businesses raise money that then goes to subsidise Scotland, with many other reasons why the arguments for independence are false. But I think it's worth realising that there are some real feelings of resentment in Scotland caused by real as well as imagined slights over the years that people like Salmond target and play up to.Youthpastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804231190378769527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-50862277332456066432012-10-15T23:51:33.685+01:002012-10-15T23:51:33.685+01:00A key aspect of Anglo-Scots amity was the Protesta...A key aspect of Anglo-Scots amity was the Protestant Reformed Religion, from the moment Elizabeth I sent the Lords of the Congregation English aid against Marie de Guise and the French in 1560.

Analyse actual recorded history concerning the formation of the United Kingdom and you will find that Scottish independence would be restoration NOT secession. You might consider the following as part of any analysis -<br /><br />'Scotland: The Shaping of a Nation' by Gordon Donaldson, ISBN 0 7153 6904 0.
