minus-squaretetris11@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·16 days ago LOL no. The act of Union between England and Scotland was very much consensual and the English didn’t oppress the Scottish. The wars of scottish independence are pretty entrenched in cultural psyche, and Thatcher reignited tensions drastically in the 80s. Wales was not a country until recent times. It was only internationally defined as such in 2011. It was always a principality of England. They were not allowed to express their culture until the monarchy showed support, of course there’s resentment
