Compare that to Glenn Campbell asking Nicola Sturgeon why she’s killing people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is barely a kick in the tail away from the Scottish/English border - surely it can't have been that much of a shock to learn that he has Scottish ancestry! It's not as if he was born and raised in Hampshire. Mind you, if he was seriously expecting to find out he had Scandinavian ancestry - Scandinavia famously being populated by ridiculously good looking people - while possessing a face like a mishaped baking potato, then maybe the old saying about the north east of England being full of Scots with their brains beaten out has some truth in it! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but likewise , laughing at someone who has just verbally insulted an entire country, your own country, is akin to the snivelling sidekick of a bully who constantly puts them down yet the sidekick laughs along with it , too scared of the bully to do otherwise. That kinda represents a lot of Scotland tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is mainly with the fact that this could be published in what is seen as a ‘ mainstream’ political magazine. Where does it stop ? Could you imagine if The National published something like this about English people ? It would be bedlam in the media , screaming xenophobic nats. The fact I can only use The National as an example shows how little support there is out there for independence in the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
