I think its due to a combination of nationalism, populism, and a reaction to globalization.
Plus, the oil money provided a nice welfare state cushion.
Strangely, exactly what these protestations could lead to, is what isn't wanted, and not the vocal minorities desired outcome. Still, it's not for me to point out their shortcomings.
Just a note; I wasn't talking about the Scotland problem in my post. We could get on just fine with them, if it weren't for agitating leaders.
On the oil subject; I think many know, that that isn't going to last forever.
Southern English definitely have a superiority complex trust me. You can't handle any criticism.
Here we go again, see my comments about blaming 'the English', like I said before its about time 'other' UK nationals looked themselves in the mirror and stopped blaming 'the English' for everything. Give the English the vote for independence, why can't I vote on the future of the UK? Why cant the English have a devolved government? Why do I have to pay for prescriptions to subsidise my Scottish 'friends'? Independence for the English, give us the vote!

Independence for England........ when do we want it - we want it now!!........
Some Scots say they want independence but they would have a fit if the lost the billions they get through Barnett. When Full Fiscal Autonomy was proposed in Parliament the SNP MPs were horrified and ran away from it as fast as they could. At the last referendum, the SNP White paper (no laughing at the back) was full of all the things they wanted to keep doing with the Union. They want independence but want someone else to pay for it. Right now, they think they can get that from the EU.
