'We're Scouse, we're not English.'

"I don't live in England, I live in Liverpool."

"If we were big enough, we'd be independent."

John from Liverpool had plenty to say in this passionate call to Andy Goldstein and Goughie.

The Independent Republic of Liverpool 😂

Do people really say 'Liverpool is the capital of Ireland'. What about Dublin?

[Ross_Milton]

Bet he would love to win the english premier league

[kevinbarr]

I'm sure the Liverpool national team will do well at the next Euros

[footielad]

''Liverpool is the capital of Ireland''. I think Dublin will have a few things to say about that.

[Jazzyxu]

Its ok. You can play in your own independent league in Liverpool

[PadraicMc]

Liverpool is the capital of Ireland ??? What tripe is this ??

[danielv]

Living in Liverpool I can say there are plenty of English flags about during the world cup

[lildevil]

Scouse not English? They where English when they wanted England to pay anfield staff on furlough 🤣🤣

[enkaan]

[willcrossleysent]

Your English when when it comes come universal credit

[blacklotus]

If Liverpool was to become independent, the average IQ and quality of life in England would jump up a fair bit on the scale

I sincerely hope John gets his wish to live independently in his own free republic in Liverpool very soon.

[markthomas]

That scouser lives in his OWN WORLD by the sound of it LOL 😂

[collinslfc]

As a Liverpool fan, I am proud to be English and support England. John, who is talking bollocks, doesn't speak for me.

[Tony-hbp]

The man on the phone is a prize divvy. I have a strong Irish heritage but I am Scouse and English and proud to have been born in Great Britain.

Can someone inform this lad that Gerrard was a scouser and played for England just fine.

[BlueMoonCityzen]

And they wonder why people despise them. Funny how Everton fans don’t spout this sh*te.

Just got on to this and thought i need to comment. I'm a scouser and this socialist, Marxist attitude is very pervasive in the city, harking back to the 1911 general strike and the 1980s managed decline my Thatcher. The city was bled dry and on top of Hillsborough when we were blamed for the disaster the rest of the country had a very negative view of Liverpool and everyone had a very negative view of Scousers, parroting the boys from the black stuff. This isnt the case these days but the anger and the scars from that period still remain. While not very articulate this is the reason this man has a chip on his shoulder. Personally I support England and try to look at the bigger picture and am proud of our nation in many different aspects. These days I see Marxism has taken root in the city especially in education as woke ideologies are being pushed in the classroom, trying to indoctrinate future generations. but this all stems from the policy of managed decline that were were subjected to which pushed people to socialism. If it wasnt for New Labours investment in the city and the granting of free education during the 90s and early 2000's a whole generation, my generation would have been lost and the city would be a complete disaster. Now we have bounced back and were voted capital of culture and we have new investment and the city center is doing well, but this man is obviously from a generation of young people who were bitterly affected and even he doesnt know exactly why he has the hatred he does, but its plain to see. A lot of the scousers in Liverpool do in fact have national pride, it is coming back but its along road. It doesnt help going on national radio and spouting off though. Marxism isnt the answer though and it worries me how pervasive it has become because of our past and how the radical left are latching on to it in order to ride the wave of socialist sympathies in the city. We need to engage with the rest of the country now, stop booing the national anthem, be proud of our team and institutions to stop this woke nonsense from becoming the norm.

Cut their benefits then we will see if they’re English or scouse
