Scots told ?Why don?t you go back to Scotland?

[akeem]

An English MP has urged the House of Commons to tell Scots to ?Go back to Scotland? if they object to a proposal to change UK time in order to keep English winter nights lighter than at present. Such proposals have failed in the past as they would see Scottish days become darker.
Conservative MP Greg Knight (pictured) who is supporting a proposal that would see clicks shift one hour forward shouted angrily:
?I suspect the only opponents will be a handful of Scots. If that is the case shouldn?t they be told; You?ve got your own parliament, if you don?t like it go away and give yourselves your own time zone?.
There was an audible murmur of disbelief at the remarks that will be seen by many as at best grossly insulting and at worse discriminatory.
The East Yorkshire MP is best known for having made expenses claims for repairs to the driveway at his home where he owns a collection of vintage cars.
Mr Knight was on the committee which helped formulate David Maclean?s private member?s bill in 2007 which would have exempted Parliament from the Freedom of Information Act, thereby ensuring that MPs? expense claims would have remained secret.
The comments from the Tory MP will have done little to enhance David Cameron?s so called ?Respect Agenda? and are sure to cause outrage in Scotland.
A recording of Mr Knight?remarks will be published later.

On a slightly different note, when we see in the Daily Mail send the Polish back home, why dont we see "Send the Scot, Irish, Welsh back home!?"

By the way, I dont want them to go home... All nations are welcome to this country...

No offence intended but I think he's right in a way.

Its absolutely crazy that scottish,welsh and NI MP's have a right to vote on matters coming before the House,even on those which concern only English affairs, such as health and education provision in England and English transport matters etc.

However, English MPs are not entitled to vote on any matters internal to Scotland or Wales or NI.

English people should have their own parliament representing their interests in the same way the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish do.

haha --- No I dont want to stay in Scotland, Waled or ireland, just England... I was born in England so as far as I am concerned I am English.

If you ask a Welshman, Scotsman or Irshman where theyt are from, they dont say Britain.

What does it matter which country they are from? If they are scroungers, trouble, crooks or anybody that whinges about it why on god plain earth should it matter where they are from.

This is a little xenophobic, by accepting Irish, Scots and Welsh as not foreign.
