England has pretty much held power in the whole Britain farce from the start.

Need I remind you it was a Scottish king who started it?

When you are in power, you have to hold responsibility for your actions.
It may not be pleasant, but sometimes you have to be held to account.
Guilt is not pleasant, but what we have to determine is whether it is justified.

I think I've made my position clear enough. The English should not remain guilty for their actions forever. I've already stated in other places I believe the union to be detrimental to all parts of it. You should specify some actions for me to actually feel guilty of, apart from the Northern Irish fiasco. I'm a little sick of England not having its own legislative assembly.

I'm afraid you cannot seriously just absolve people from guilt just because you don't like feeling guilty.

Yes, but one can absolve people from guilt after they've felt guilty about things for a long, long time... or do Catholics not believe in forgiveness?

Of course it is another thing to then use that guilt to justify other harmful things

Such as this example in this thread?
