As semi-remembered from last weeks just a minute:

If you look at a parliament where the speaker is Scottish, the head of the treasury is Scottish, the father of the house is Scottish, that’s the English parliament.

Please note my use of tenses! Scotland IS not as oppressed as India WAS.

There is no comparison between how Scotland is treated now (taxes ripped off, workers exploited, but only as they are in every capitalist country) and how India was treated at the height of British imperialism. The clearances were obviously appalling, and a brutal act of oppression. But they were also acts which the Scots themselves took part in! The division between high and lowland Scots was worse than between the Scots and the English in many ways for long periods of time. Now the Welsh, they really got it bad, and were utterly shat on.
