Half of Scotland are more proud to be British than me and you will ever be They see us as friends not enemies
I've lived in Wales for 25+ years, they don't 'hate' us at all, it's an absolute myth. Can't speak for North Wales mind. Weird ****s up there.
I've also got a really affinity with our Scottish brethren as well so maybe it's just me? Every Scot I've ever met I've liked.
Only been to Wales 3 times and I never noticed or felt any hatred towards myself. Different in Scotland mind. I was back and forwards to Kilmarnock for a couple years. It's an area that supports independence. I was called an English **** and told to **** off back to my country a few times. Of course that's a minority and the vast majority were sound with me. I'm a Geordie and we have generally had a good relationship with the Jocks. I'd be concerned about people from other places in England venturing into the wrong places up there.
He knew it would put Wales through for sure, loaded his own pressure by overthinking it, knowing he has to live up to expectation.
