LOL no. The act of Union between England and Scotland was very much consensual and the English didn’t oppress the Scottish.

The wars of scottish independence are pretty entrenched in cultural psyche, and Thatcher reignited tensions drastically in the 80s.

Wales was not a country until recent times. It was only internationally defined as such in 2011. It was always a principality of England.

They were not allowed to express their culture until the monarchy showed support, of course there's resentment

The wars for Scottish independence were centuries before the act of union

As were any sense of the anglo-saxon heritage that english people claim, after the empire spread across the globe and imported its varied subjects

You don't need to be Anglo Saxon to be English
