More details from petition creator
The fact that you British (I hold Irish citizenship, and I am resident in the area of my country currently under the sovereignty of the Queen of England - it might as well be just England, can't the Scots see they are just living in "Scotshire", a county of England?) proclaim yourselves to be "Great" is something which I and many other people from around the world see as immature and arrogant.
