YES IT IS!

I am 17 and I am doing everything I can to educate my generation and put some pride back into this nation.

So many have given their lifes for our country. Let's not let them all down.

The fight must go on 🇬🇧

[Captally]

How can I not be British? My Father was Scottish, My mother was Welsh, I was born in Scotland my Brother in England and I was brought up for the most part in England. My great maternal Grandfather was Irish. I served in the Royal Navy with men from all parts of this Nation and never heard this issue raised.

If Scotland want to break away from the UK then they need to go it completely alone.
Let them pay for themselves.
I wouldn't like to see the UK seperated but if Scotland are stupid to vote that way then so be it but they have to reap the consequences.

[anglosaxon]

I as an Englishman, I want my own 'assembly' like the other three members!
If not, then the other three countries should have NO say in what goes on in England [as they do at present].

[governor]

Please fight for us to stay in the Union. Not all us Scots want Independence or the wee fish

[robertmcnair]

We have had the referendum and voted against it. No more talk about independence or indyref2. I am Scottish and want the union to remain together. Strength in numbers

[lumpyfishgravy]

The people are broadly united. Unfortunately there are troublemakers sowing hatred and discord for their own benefit.

[timbradbury]

The union has protected our democracy for over 300 years. Long may it continue. Stronger together

[fortuner]

Trouble is there's not many Brits left its all immigrants now and the only place they want to visit is the mosque.

[harryfashman]

I have no doubt that an independent Scotland and Wales would viable however given that the flow of money is out of England I think that we (the English) would be better off. The Scots already define themselves in terms of their national identity so I really see little point in maintaining the status quo. Throwing money at a country that hates is not my idea of something worth saving.

[connormcdermott]

I lived 21 years in Northern Ireland and 21 years in Scotland. Scotland is starting to feel like NI did years ago, with hatred and division growing.

[jackmellor]

I'm 100% pro union. I live in Scotland and have been living in Scotland since I was 2 but originally from England.

[Iain]

Abolish the Assemblies, the act of union states that there is only one parliament, in Westminster.

[sandman]

The recent withdrawal of Afghanistan proves we need to stick together.

[nudgenudgewinkwink]

What i don't get is why scotland would want to leave 1 union and then join another that is not independence..

[barrybeard]

The union is worth fighting for, but the mps need resolving.

[heronoverdose]

The Union is a symbol of the free world, this reason about all is why it should be protected.

[Whiia]

That tax money that everyone keeps going on about, definitely isn't coming to my town,
it's a complete shithole with people that look half dead walking around the streets.
Maybe you should ask the person that keeps asking for it, instead of blaming the people that don't ask

[troysright]

Sent a complaint about tonight's Coronation Street . Letting kids/teens and others think it's ok to destroy others cars/property over supposed climate change is the wrong and a very dangerous message to be sending . Very bad message to send in this country

[googlecontrolled]

When the peace loving freinds show their true colours we will need the union of countries.
