Doric Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 How many times have we heard that the North of Scotland is where the patriotic Scots come from ? I have said it myself as I was brought up there and have now been proven wrong. Well when it came to the crunch they bottled it. The most patriot Scots are from Glasgow, Dundee, west Dunbarton and Croy shire. The proof is in the pudding. Doricland words fail me and to make matters worse it is an SNP stronghold !!!!

DaveyDenoon Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm from the Highlands too and am shocked and embarrassed by their capitulation up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I don't blame a lot of them, high employment, good jobs & pretty affluent, but the people in the north that voted YES, must be some of the most decent, socially aware people in Scotland - surely ??

Return of Yermaw Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I didn't vote Yes out of patriotism. I voted yes for self determination. No voters will claim to be as equally patriotic as yes voters....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 For the record, I live in Moray(No), I'm originally from Dumbarton(Yes) and I voted Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Like yermaw, I voted yes for a fairer more balanced Scotland. It wasn't a patriotic decision even though I knew in my heart it was absolutely the right thing to do. Some No voters will have done the same. It's the ones that voted for themselves I am really having a problem reconciling my feelings towards. Those who read nothing and listened to no one... well - it's open season. .... I will not hold back when I hear "how can they do this to us?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear you're probably preaching to the converted on here. I'm sure the Aberdeenshire punters on here are just as disgusted with their people as you are. Just like I'm disgusted with the Renfrewshire punters and every council area other than the 4 you mention. Bully for you if you come from one if those 4. I'm pleased for you. Having a go at the NE or Highland punters on here won't achieve anything. I think they'll definitely think twice about giving it the big we're the best Scots thing again without you telling them.

peasoupblu Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 You have chosen to define a scottish patriot by a simple yes or no criteria. You need to now move on open your ears again, move the debate and realise that you do not own the right to define a patriot. Once you have done that you will start to recognise the common ground that you share with many that voted no. Indeed you may start to see some yes voters in a different light, shall I name a certain bus company owner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"a true patriot" synonyms: nationalist, loyalist; More antonyms: traitor You could try the antonym for size?

For the record I don't hate you, I feel sorry for you as what's about to be dumped on our heads from Westminster is down to you and the other 55%.
