As an English bloke from Manchester I have nothing but love for our Scottish neighbours. I've been to Scotland many times especially the western Isles I have always been made to feel welcome. The people are always warm and friendly and I have not a bad word to say about them. ❤ ❤
That's good to hear. The Western Isles are stunning, and the only place that I`ve seen cows swimming in the sea! You may be familiar with the Gaelic saying: Ceud Mìle Fàilte. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are welcome in our country.
Living on the same island as neighbors, how can that be enough? I don't want to get involved with the Scottish church asking for independence. The English shouldn't be so arrogant. Consider the Scots as family, as brothers and sisters. If possible, you can.Marry a Scottish woman or man, your children will be true Britannians. But if you still look down on the Scots as countrymen, they will be like the Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka.
One thing we Americans should realize is that our most important founding fathers all had university professors who were graduates of the University of Edinburgh and who brought the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment to our shores and to our Constitution.
As a Scotsman, I used to be quite a staunch unionist. These days, I’m slowly shifting my view. I think Scots forget how creative and inventive they are. I think if we could innovate in the area of energy we could be quite alright on our own
scouser here...never met a scot I didn't like.....donno what these mad southerners are on about..."avoid people from Glasgow' ha ha...I actively seek them out top, top people...nothing but luv from me
That old man that said avoid people from glasgow can i tell you sir the glasgow people whould rather help you than do anything to harm or hinder you thats a fact thats known all around the world 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I am Spanish- Peruvian. I have been living in Scotland for 8 years. Scottish people are lovely and very welcome. In my opinion, the more peculiar or characteristic thing of Scottish people is the Scottish English accent. That's why in my experience have been very difficult to progress in my comunication. By the way, I loved this video, and it has been nice hearing people talking about different subjects. I have learned a lot of vocabulary. I will follow up now!
I went to live in Peru and Spain and found them to be lovely too. The lesson here is that you should travel the world, as most ‘people’ are genuinely hospitable, friendly and generous to strangers. The problem arises when the ‘media’ and RUclipsrs try to whip up hatred for money and ‘likes’.
What British people think about the Scots? The usual rubbish where you believe British and English are the same thing. Basically...you mean Scottish people aren't British.
But yet so far😊, its a huge part of the Isle but so sparsely populated, with seperate Education system, seperate but similar Health Service, Seperate laws. They don't intend on being ignorant and would maybe understand Scotland better if they did visit instead of going by media hearsay alone.
Yeh, I was thinking that. Not all English live in the south. How many hours does it take to take a train to Glasgow or Edinburgh...(the Athens of the North), one of the most beautiful and most historical cities? the UK. If you're living in Liverpool or Manchester, it's as far as it is to London. The fact that Scots are regarded by some as being "tight" is rubbish...there more generous than the average Londoner. This is coming from the past when Scotland was very poor compared to England, and they simply took care of the money they had. Actually I think the Scots are mostly closer to the Irish.
@davidhull3652 Exactly. Comments on here saying that English people are rude and ignorant about Scotland, it just goes to show that they haven't even set foot in places like Yorkshire or Newcastle. People in Newcastle really like the Scots and compliment them.
Absolute rubbish. The vast majority of all people, whatever nationality, are lovely. You can not generalise in this way. You would have to have met 100,000 people who have immediately treated you badly for no reason at all to come up with that kind of statement as fact. Get a grip.
@TalorcMacAllan-ig4rm aye we'd be better off if we dissolved the union with England. We are sick of being an English colony and supporting England's failed economy.
Again and again it's weird to me (a German) to see British people who have never been to a particular part or in general other parts of the UK. I have been to different parts like Edinburgh, York, Hadrian's Wall, Lake District for a day, Birmingham, Bristol, Colchester, Brighton and a little tour around Wales with Cardiff, Swansea, Abergavenny, Barminster, Criccieth, Llangollen and the Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa, as I should say now). How come people I met in the past 30+ years who were British have not been around like that. I feel bad for not having been to Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Cornwall, any of the islands, or the Highlands or Northern Ireland yet but I'm just German/an anglophile visitor. They are Brits born and bred and sometimes have seen less than me. That is so weird. When I was little my parents took me and my brother to different places in Germany so that we know what our country looks like in different regions. And what we didn't manage to see then, I went to see later. There are still towns and cities I haven't seen, but at least I've been to every region. I can't understand this attitude of "no, sadly I've never been there (but I am also not really intererested in changing that)" and the speaker is around 60 - 65 years old. What are they doing with their lives?
Most will go to London, but there is no reason for someone to really go to another city, if it is very like your own. It's probably cheaper to get a plane to Europe now, than a train to somewhere in UK, and the weather will be nicer.
I agree, I’m Canadian and I was thinking the same thing, there looks like so much to see in the UK why don’t the British travel and see their own country more?? Even just to learn history and architecture for example cathedrals . Also landscapes. But they’ve been to Paris and other continental destinations several times maybe but not places in their own land.
I love being Scottish! And it's a myth that we all hate the English - I married one! You are all most welcome in the friendliest country in the world. As well as that, our culture is celebrated and very widely known all over the word. Come to Scotland!
"Brits on the Scottish" the Scottish are British, British isn't a synonym for English, Britain is England, Wales, and Scotland. Britain is the name of the island.
Agreed as you are totally correct. It may be a throw back from most in the USA referring to Britain as England and that originated way back in the 1800s. Very poor to hear an English person referring to themselves as being British and Scotland being exclusive to this.
James Watt, a Scot, perfected the steam engine. William McGregor, yes, he created the English Premier League. And AC DC, the Scottish band that went on to make a name for itself in Australia. That's right, if they didn't have Brian Johnson, Angus wouldn't be touring as a guitar legend at the age of 70. AC DC would be a mediocre rock band after Bond Scott died.And let me ask you, all the Scottish inventors who gave birth to the innovations and cultures that the world knows, if it weren't for the British investors and their support, who would the world know? You guys share your talents. They get along well. They should actually be the same race after 1777, but they still act like Sinhalese and Tamils on the island of Sri Lanka. They are NATO countries, G7 countries, but they act shamefully. Both of them.William Wallace acted no differently than Edward I. He was a respectable person who became a queen and

@@loxism72 Not true about the Mac/Mc = Scottish/Irish. Mac, Gaelic for "son", is a common element of many Scottish surnames. Mc is always an abbreviation of Mac, it also used to be abbreviated M' although this spelling is now not common. In an early book on Highland music, the author spelled his own name three different ways on the first two pages: MacDonald, McDonald, and M'Donald. Black's "The Surnames of Scotland" and MacLysaght's "The Surnames of Ireland" both treat Mac the same way -- as the only and original spelling.

@@raven4442 they're only "british" because Britain is an island within the british isles, a geographic location and NOT a country. Still Scottish 🏴👍
There are a lot of ironies regarding the English stereotypical view of Scottish people, and make no mistake those stereotypical views are ages old and mostly meant to be derogatory. (1) Scotland is full of kilt wearers - The irony of this statement is that a brand new kilt package can cost anywhere between £295 and upwards of £1000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are walking around in this highly expensive gear, and it is questionable just how many English people that make this claim could themselves afford a brand new kilt package. (2) All Scots eat Haggis - The irony of this statement is that a lot of Scots one day of each year actually do celebrate Burns night by having a Burns Supper. A Burns Supper is traditionally served up with a dram of Scotch Whisky, or even Whisky added to the Haggis as a Whisky sauce part of the cooking. Now the cheapest bottle of Scotch Whisky you will find from Asda comes in at around £7 for a bottle of McKendrick's, and that is just for a 70cl bottle. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are having Burns Suppers everyday, and it is questionable just how many English people could afford to celebrate Burns night on a daily basis. (3) Scots call eachother Jimmy - The irony of this statement is that it is totally untrue. The Scottish variant for the Hebrew name James, is in fact Jamie, and Jimmy is actually the English variant. It is possible that the misconception arose from the fact that Scots may have at one time greeted English people by referring to them as Jimmy, and this would be because so many English people were called Jimmy. Even the most famous people in Britain from recent times named Jimmy are English in origins. Jimmy Savile, Jimmy Greaves, just to name two. The list goes on. (4) All Scots go around saying "Och Aye the Noo". - The irony of this statement is that there are many English areas where people really do go around over using phrases which can be used to identify them, such as the Liverpudlian "aright la", or the Geordie "way I mon", or the Yorkshire "get t brew on" or any one of many cockney rhyming slang, but it quite simply is not true that any Scot has ever used the phrase "och aye the noo". In fact, the only people ever in this world to use the phrase "och aye the noo" are English people when mocking the Scots. (5) All Scots play bagpipes - The irony of this statement is that bagpipes are amongst the most expensive musical instruments you could possibly find. A brand new set of bagpipes would cost you anywhere between £600 and £8000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots own a set of Bagpipes, and it is questionable whether or not a set of Bagpipes is an item which many English people could afford to keep in their bedrooms. (6) Scotland is full of degeneratives that all eat deep fried mars bars and drink Buckfast. - The irony of this statement is that it mostly refers to the people of Scotland's most poverty stricken and deprived areas. Now a set of four mars bars costs £1.65 at Asda, and the cheapest bottle of Buckfast you will find online is a 75cl bottle at £7.50. Now not only are those lowest denomination of Scots spending £1.65 for four mars bars, but in addition to this they are actually frying them, which has the added cost of purchasing vegetable oil. The cheapest bottle of vegetable oil is £1.75 at Asda. Now, even English people will have to admit that this must just be something those poverty stricken Scots are eating and drinking as snacks, as doctors and scientists would agree that it would not be possible for them to only live on deep fried mars bars and buckfast. So this is something those Scots are enjoying between meals. So, here again, it is highly unlikely that Scotland's lowest denomination of citizens are living such a luxurious lifestyle that they are able to afford such luxurious snacks on a daily basis. It is also highly questionable whether or not most English people that are from council estates could afford to snack like this on a daily basis. As a lot of Scots will be able to attest, the first thing that is likely to happen when they get off a train at Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Piccadilly, is that they are liable to be approached by a Liverpudlian/Scouser/Scally or Mancunian/Manc asking them if they have a spare ciggy, before proceeding to ask them for a light. I am sure many English people can also attest that this claim is factually true. This gives one the impression that those council estate types from Liverpool and Manchester "are not" feasting on deep fried Mars bars in between main courses, and "are not" washing it down with Buckfast on a daily basis. (6) All Scots are tight. - The irony of this is what? They spend up to £1000 on kilts, They wash down Haggis with Scotch Whisky every night, They all have bagpipes worth upto £8000 in their bedrooms, and even their poorest citizens add additional ingredients to Mars bars, washed down with Buckfast on a daily basis between meals, and they are told they are tight if they do not give English people a ciggy or a light? Do English people realise based upon their own stereotypical views of Scots, just how much Scots must be puting in to society in the way of tax?
If you want to know what the English feel about the Scots then try spending the Scottish notes in England....they think it's mickey mouse money or something.
You should listen to a band called The Haivers and the song called ( Scotland's Fire ) it gives you an insight into what Scotland has given the world with everyday life
"Brits on the Scottish", you are just showing outstanding ignorance here. The scots are Brits, as Britain reffers to the island. You're thumbnail requires changing.
@@raven4442 Scotland is not what a foreign country decides. Scotland is Scotland, Alba or Caledonia. Educate yourself instead of believing foreign propaganda. "greetin britain" is what the Romans called the land South of their wall. The land North of the wall,that they could not conquer, they mostly called Caledonia. Consider yourself corrected.
We know what they think of us. That's why 49% of people polled in England 🏴 voted for English 🏴 independence. Get the wall up and they can stick to their own part of the island. They're English haters.
I know 2 Scots personally and one is really grumpy and moans about everything and one is really lovely and will do anything for you. So I got no idea. People are people really no matter where they come from anyway. I think it's more about if you are in a city or a quieter place.

The guy that said he had scot holding him by his tie tryin to throttle him and two of his mates got rid of didn't happen. The Scottish guy battered all 3 of them singlehandedly
I am Scottish and as individuals I like the English but when there are more than 3 of them they think they're a raiding party, if they have had more than 2 beers. They fear the Scots which is very easy to demonstrate without doing anything even vaguely aggressive. The Scots are welcome everywhere in the world except for England, while the English are not even welcome in different areas of England. When England was a stand alone country, their empire consisted of a few small islands around their own coastline and Wales. They asked us to take them over and a couple of centuries later the empire covered 25% of the globe. They talk about British inventions when most of them are Scottish. When Scots win sporting events or achieve something they are called British and when they fail they are called Scottish.
You should find a British husband or wife and get married. Your children will be more adaptable to each other, not stupidly resentful of each other even though they live on the same island.

@@madmark1957 It's ironic, we're "xenophobic" because we want to leave the union. But if we applied the same logic to them, they're xenophobic for not wanting to hand over their national government to, say, France or Germany, then they'd be xenophobic too. Or maybe us Scots are unique in the world for being "racist" for simply wanting democracy for our own country, back in our own hands.
Well the professor surely didn't live under Nicola sturgeons leadership nor see Scotland as it is now on its knees. This is a small island who needs to pull together to keep this island strong and safe.
Absolute nonsense. I don't care about the UK. Scotland's my home, I'm Scottish, not British. The rest of people on the island are nothing to do with me. Time for independence. I can't wait. Support for the union is now in the mid 40s. Down from the mid 50s a decade ago, and the mid 60s in the 00s.
@@OneTrueScotsman Yes, Scotland is part of the island of Britain. Scotland is part of that island, making it British. British is not a synonym for English.
@@raven4442 Yes it is synonymous for that. Even in England, it's exactly that, which is why they call, say, York "the north" on the BBC and in weather reports. When describing "British weather" or "British news" York, Newcastle, etc, are nowhere near the north of Britain. They're norh England. And Birmingham the "midlands" despite being in the south of the UK.
Okay! Not a good start..."what the British people think of the Scots". I thought we were British?! (After all we made Britian!) Do you mean English (as your title says)? This video just highlights why a lot of Scottish folk want to be independent. Billy Connolly - anywhere else in the world he is an instantly recognisable figure - everywhere except it seems in England, really shocking. Show a picture of the very unfunny Michael McIntyre and they would pick it up straight away. Perhaps this shows a mental bias against the Scots by the English. It is not as if Billy Connolly was an obscure person!
Scotland 🏴 just needs to get on and do what it's wants. We English 🏴 really don't care, and Scotland 🏴 doesn't care what we think either. Why would the English 🏴 be bothered by the nationalist view of a Scottish 🏴 comedian? The same as all the Scottish 🏴 independence supporter actors, we watch them for there acting nothing more. If Scotland 🏴 became independent tomorrow I think there would be parties on both sides of the border while they're building a hard border 😂. Most English 🏴 wouldn't batter an eyelid and judging by the ones I know wouldn't even care. They will just get on with life with the haters living on the other side of a hard border. Hopefully with passport control and freedom movement removed too.
The ignorance displayed in this video is unfortunately common place in England. The most obvious ignorance, which i have experienced is the idea that Scotland is not part of Britain. With these attitudes it is not surprising that some Scots seek independence. The reality is that some of these people could have Scottish ancestry and be more closely connected to Scotland than they think. Most of them seemed almost arrogantly ignorant of Scotland and quite happy to be offensive to Scotland.
I'm glad they think that way, it helps speed up the divorce, which is going to happen. Support continues to decline, fortunately. Now it's in the mid 40s. Down from 55% a decade ago.
Imagine having a youtube channel where you ask "Brits" questions But you don't even know who the British are. Clue Scotland is also part of Great Britain 🇬🇧
We the scots are very friendly except the younger idiots who followed nicola sturgeon. The majority of scots are not interested in independence. This is a small island and we need to stick together. I love the rest of the country and go to england quite often.
@@francesbaldwin2526 According to professor John Curtis the polls show that about 50% of the Scottish people want Scotland to be an independent country. Like the 62 other countries that gained their independence from Westminster in London, England controlled by it's 543 English MPs.
Erm, I think you'll find that the opinion polls since 2014 show a consistent level of support for independence of between 45% and 53% That does not always translate to support for the SNP because not everybody who finds independence attractive supports them. So when you say 'the majority of Scots' lets not lose sight of just how small that 'majority' actually is and considering support for independence grows the further down the age ranges you go that 'majority' will be looking rather shaky to say the least in the years to come. I'm also intrigued by your 'younger idiots' comment .... on what exactly do you base a knowledge of this alleged unfriendliness? I read the papers and watch the news like everybody else and I've never seen this mentioned by anybody and considering the MSM (including the BBC) in Scotland is almost entirely anti independence and anti SNP that's saying something. There are people from all over the world reading these comments, so lets not make stuff up to suit our own agenda shall we. As for the small island trope. England on it's own is one of the biggest countries in Europe with a larger population than Spain, only slightly smaller than Italy and far bigger than Portugal, Greece, Belgium or the Netherlands. There are a host of successful independent nations in Europe with a similar or smaller population than Scotland. EG .... Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, even Luxembourg with a population smaller than Edinburgh.. So lets face it 'small island' is an extremely relative term is it not?
I think you mean, what do the ENGLISH people think about Scots. Incidentally, most Scots are fine. Perhaps we should leave lazy tribal stereotypes to others.
Sure. It’s not like you do not have raging Scottish nationalism and victim complexes that would make the average English person laugh out loud if they realised it.

Again and again it's weird to me (a German) to see British people who have never been to a particular part or in general other parts of the UK. I have been to different parts like Edinburgh, York, Hadrian's Wall, Lake District for a day, Birmingham, Bristol, Colchester, Brighton and a little tour around Wales with Cardiff, Swansea, Abergavenny, Barminster, Criccieth, Llangollen and the Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa, as I should say now). How come people I met in the past 30+ years who were British have not been around like that. I feel bad for not having been to Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Cornwall, any of the islands, or the Highlands or Northern Ireland yet but I'm just German/an anglophile visitor. They are Brits born and bred and sometimes have seen less than me. That is so weird. When I was little my parents took me and my brother to different places in Germany so that we know what our country looks like in different regions.

I can't understand this attitude of "no, sadly I've never been there (but I am also not really intererested in changing that)" and the speaker is around 60 - 65 years old.

I love being Scottish! And it's a myth that we all hate the English - I married one! You are all most welcome in the friendliest country in the world. As well as that, our culture is celebrated and very widely known all over the word. Come to Scotland!

"Brits on the Scottish" the Scottish are British, British isn't a synonym for English, Britain is England, Wales, and Scotland. Britain is the name of the island.
Agreed as you are totally correct. It may be a throw back from most in the USA referring to Britain as England and that originated way back in the 1800s. Very poor to hear an English person referring to themselves as being British and Scotland being exclusive to this.
Nah. Scot’s are Scot’s.

mcLeods are from the Isle of Lewis and the Isle of Skye.
No, Macleods are from the western isles. The mcleods are Irish, hence the mc. Mac in Scotland
@@loxism72 Not true about the Mac/Mc = Scottish/Irish. Mac, Gaelic for "son", is a common element of many Scottish surnames. Mc is always an abbreviation of Mac, it also used to be abbreviated M' although this spelling is now not common. In an early book on Highland music, the author spelled his own name three different ways on the first two pages: MacDonald, McDonald, and M'Donald.
Black's "The Surnames of Scotland" and MacLysaght's "The Surnames of Ireland" both treat Mac the same way -- as the only and original spelling.

“ what British people think of Scot’s’???
If we think of the huge amount of actors and actresses that are Scottish and are incredibly good looking, you would think they are all artistic and extremely good looking! I know that can’t be 100% but sure seems like that! I am glad Scotland is now becoming popular, maybe because of Outlander? ! ? Anyway, they have the best English accent, in my opinion!
looove Scottish accent
A Scottish accent is a Scottish accent not an English accent.
@@redpop99I think they meant an accent of the English language
I can confirm that not all Scots are artistic and good looking.

Scots are Scots
@@annedeery2652 And they're also British. British doesn't mean English, British is Welsh, Scottish, and English.
@@raven4442 they're only "british" because Britain is an island within the british isles, a geographic location and NOT a country. Still Scottish 🏴👍
There are a lot of ironies regarding the English stereotypical view of Scottish people, and make no mistake those stereotypical views are ages old and mostly meant to be derogatory. (1) Scotland is full of kilt wearers - The irony of this statement is that a brand new kilt package can cost anywhere between £295 and upwards of £1000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are walking around in this highly expensive gear, and it is questionable just how many English people that make this claim could themselves afford a brand new kilt package. (2) All Scots eat Haggis - The irony of this statement is that a lot of Scots one day of each year actually do celebrate Burns night by having a Burns Supper. A Burns Supper is traditionally served up with a dram of Scotch Whisky, or even Whisky added to the Haggis as a Whisky sauce part of the cooking. Now the cheapest bottle of Scotch Whisky you will find from Asda comes in at around £7 for a bottle of McKendrick's, and that is just for a 70cl bottle. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are having Burns Suppers everyday, and it is questionable just how many English people could afford to celebrate Burns night on a daily basis. (3) Scots call eachother Jimmy - The irony of this statement is that it is totally untrue. The Scottish variant for the Hebrew name James, is in fact Jamie, and Jimmy is actually the English variant. It is possible that the misconception arose from the fact that Scots may have at one time greeted English people by referring to them as Jimmy, and this would be because so many English people were called Jimmy. Even the most famous people in Britain from recent times named Jimmy are English in origins. Jimmy Savile, Jimmy Greaves, just to name two. The list goes on. (4) All Scots go around saying "Och Aye the Noo". - The irony of this statement is that there are many English areas where people really do go around over using phrases which can be used to identify them, such as the Liverpudlian "aright la", or the Geordie "way I mon", or the Yorkshire "get t brew on" or any one of many cockney rhyming slang, but it quite simply is not true that any Scot has ever used the phrase "och aye the noo". In fact, the only people ever in this world to use the phrase "och aye the noo" are English people when mocking the Scots. (5) All Scots play bagpipes - The irony of this statement is that bagpipes are amongst the most expensive musical instruments you could possibly find. A brand new set of bagpipes would cost you anywhere between £600 and £8000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots own a set of Bagpipes, and it is questionable whether or not a set of Bagpipes is an item which many English people could afford to keep in their bedrooms. (6) Scotland is full of degeneratives that all eat deep fried mars bars and drink Buckfast. - The irony of this statement is that it mostly refers to the people of Scotland's most poverty stricken and deprived areas. Now a set of four mars bars costs £1.65 at Asda, and the cheapest bottle of Buckfast you will find online is a 75cl bottle at £7.50. Now not only are those lowest denomination of Scots spending £1.65 for four mars bars, but in addition to this they are actually frying them, which has the added cost of purchasing vegetable oil. The cheapest bottle of vegetable oil is £1.75 at Asda. Now, even English people will have to admit that this must just be something those poverty stricken Scots are eating and drinking as snacks, as doctors and scientists would agree that it would not be possible for them to only live on deep fried mars bars and buckfast. So this is something those Scots are enjoying between meals. So, here again, it is highly unlikely that Scotland's lowest denomination of citizens are living such a luxurious lifestyle that they are able to afford such luxurious snacks on a daily basis. It is also highly questionable whether or not most English people that are from council estates could afford to snack like this on a daily basis. As a lot of Scots will be able to attest, the first thing that is likely to happen when they get off a train at Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Piccadilly, is that they are liable to be approached by a Liverpudlian/Scouser/Scally or Mancunian/Manc asking them if they have a spare ciggy, before proceeding to ask them for a light. I am sure many English people can also attest that this claim is factually true. This gives one the impression that those council estate types from Liverpool and Manchester "are not" feasting on deep fried Mars bars in between main courses, and "are not" washing it down with Buckfast on a daily basis.
(6) All Scots are tight. - The irony of this is what? They spend up to £1000 on kilts, They wash down Haggis with Scotch Whisky every night, They all have bagpipes worth upto £8000 in their bedrooms, and even their poorest citizens add additional ingredients to Mars bars, washed down with Buckfast on a daily basis between meals, and they are told they are tight if they do not give English people a ciggy or a light? Do English people realise based upon their own stereotypical views of Scots, just how much Scots must be puting in to society in the way of tax?
It’s not that deep, english dont really care about Scotland and their stereotypes.

The Scots are welcome everywhere in the world except for England, while the English are not even welcome in different areas of England.

And Birmingham the "midlands" despite being in the south of the UK.
You seem to be confused as to what being British is. Being British is someone from the British isles and that includes the Scots as well.

Okay! Not a good start..."what the British people think of the Scots". I thought we were British?! (After all we made Britian!)
Do you mean English (as your title says)? This video just highlights why a lot of Scottish folk want to be independent. Billy Connolly - anywhere else in the world he is an instantly recognisable figure - everywhere except it seems in England, really shocking. Show a picture of the very unfunny Michael McIntyre and they would pick it up straight away. Perhaps this shows a mental bias against the Scots by the English. It is not as if Billy Connolly was an obscure person!
Scotland 🏴 just needs to get on and do what it's wants. We English 🏴 really don't care, and Scotland 🏴 doesn't care what we think either. Why would the English 🏴 be bothered by the nationalist view of a Scottish 🏴 comedian? The same as all the Scottish 🏴 independence supporter actors, we watch them for there acting nothing more. If Scotland 🏴 became independent tomorrow I think there would be parties on both sides of the border while they're building a hard border 😂. Most English 🏴 wouldn't batter an eyelid and judging by the ones I know wouldn't even care. They will just get on with life with the haters living on the other side of a hard border.

The ignorance displayed in this video is unfortunately common place in England. The most obvious ignorance, which i have experienced is the idea that Scotland is not part of Britain. With these attitudes it is not surprising that some Scots seek independence. The reality is that some of these people could have Scottish ancestry and be more closely connected to Scotland than they think. Most of them seemed almost arrogantly ignorant of Scotland and quite happy to be offensive to Scotland.
I'm glad they think that way, it helps speed up the divorce, which is going to happen. Support continues to decline, fortunately. Now it's in the mid 40s. Down from 55% a decade ago.

According to professor John Curtis the polls show that about 50% of the Scottish people want Scotland to be an independent country.
Like the 62 other countries that gained their independence from Westminster in London, England controlled by it's 543 English MPs.
Erm, I think you'll find that the opinion polls since 2014 show a consistent level of support for independence of between 45% and 53% That does not always translate to support for the SNP because not everybody who finds independence attractive supports them. So when you say 'the majority of Scots' lets not lose sight of just how small that 'majority' actually is and considering support for independence grows the further down the age ranges you go that 'majority' will be looking rather shaky to say the least in the years to come.
I'm also intrigued by your 'younger idiots' comment .... on what exactly do you base a knowledge of this alleged unfriendliness? I read the papers and watch the news like everybody else and I've never seen this mentioned by anybody and considering the MSM (including the BBC) in Scotland is almost entirely anti independence and anti SNP that's saying something. There are people from all over the world reading these comments, so lets not make stuff up to suit our own agenda shall we.
As for the small island trope. England on it's own is one of the biggest countries in Europe with a larger population than Spain, only slightly smaller than Italy and far bigger than Portugal, Greece, Belgium or the Netherlands.
There are a host of successful independent nations in Europe with a similar or smaller population than Scotland. EG .... Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, even Luxembourg with a population smaller than Edinburgh..
So lets face it 'small island' is an extremely relative term is it not?
