David Starkey: The feeble nations of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. He may be right.

[Pufflette]

David Starkey might have got boos for saying this on Question Time but he does have a point and I am speaking as someone who is from one of these 'feeble' nations. I mean Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland are totally dependent on England. Ex. one in three jobs in Northern Ireland are public sector jobs, footed by tax revenue coming from places like London. And it seems like if any Welsh, Northern Irish or Scottish person is talented they head to the south of England. Examples? C.S. Lewis, Alex Ferguson, George Best (okay not the south but in England) etc.
