Screenshot of a post by The National with a picture of Keir Starmer smiling in front bunting of the English flag. The text reads: "NEW: Keir Starmer has said he hangs the English flag in his home and 'always sits front of a Union Jack'  He told the BBC: 'I'm very encouraging of flags. I think they're patriotic and a great symbol of our nation.'"

Scotland’s not fucking oppressed and occupied. Their nobility bankrupted themselves investing in the doomed Darien project, so they formed the union with England and then went out again doing colonialism properly under the banner of the East India Company and British Empire. They just hate it now because the Empire money is gone and Westminster and London has all the power, which is just the same boat everyone else is in.
