Rejected petition A referendum on full English Independence from Scotland

More details

The Scots are being asked to consider whether they would like either full independence or to have the English carry on funding them.

It is time the English were asked whether they want to continue to contribute, via taxation, to the running costs of a nation who have never had a good word to say about us and who now want to have both their cake and eat it.

I would like the Government to arrange a referendum on whether the English should "divorce" the Scots.
