Not all English nationalists hold with these posters. You will find that almost every fair minded Englishman and woman think these posters are disgraceful. Yes, there are inequalities between the two nations on funding and voting rights, but these issues need to be tackled in the right way.
I find it hypocritical of the EDs to slag off the Scots in this way, yet want to retain a union with them. This kind of act will be remembered for years to come, and will make it difficult for the EDs to work in harmony with Scotland in the future. Shooting yourselves in the foot one might say. I bet the SNP see the funny side of these posters! They sent a representative to the EDs AGM last September, I would think they will decline any future overtures from the EDs over this, as will Plaid over the Monmouth debacle. It is a cheap publicity trick for the short term that will have long term repercussions.
At the end of the day, it is for the EDs to employ whatever strategy they wish. If they think the poster campaign is a good thing, that's their business, however, the decent among us might think otherwise.
