We spent centuries JOINING England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and now you want to separate them again?

No, just for England to leave the Union. Wales, Scotland and NI can stay together if they want.

England is the heart, soul and seat of power in the United Kingdom. Without us, it would just collapse.

I really don't see what's so terrible about having some people who live a little North of us in the government and flying a more interesting flag. Though I do agree that we need to change that god awful National Anthem.
