No xenophobia here, just find it strange how things are skewed so much towards the 'peripheral' countries of the U.K., affording them many advantages English residents and MPs don't, when the residents don't have the decency to either support the English football team (singing the U.K. national anthem) of shut up (as opposed to the 'supporting scotland at the worl cup' adverts that came out). Happy to embrace when it suits but other times, it just seems the Scots not only don't want to know, but will go out of their way to 'hate the english'.
Instead of being bitter, here's an idea: qualify next time, sing the U.K. national anthem and have some 'unity' rather than, as one of your fellow countrymen eloquently put it 'i'll be supporting an African team, like Brasil'.
