    So, I was correct in my initial post. They deserve to be insulted. No one else does.

    What and who might they have insulted except possibly the Tories?

    No you are not correct, as is usual interpretation is confused with fact.

    Yes the Tories are one group, Westminster aka the English another, Labour especially as in Tory light, Scots who are not nationalists, in fact anyone who disagrees with them.

    Insulting people seems to be a way of life with you lot.

    I'm still confused why these scots still buy these vile newspapers

    Strange post.
    Do you think there is no market or readership in RoUK?
    Why target Scots specifically?

    Woops, there's more readers of the Daily Fail elsewhere.

    1088

    P.S. In case you go there, even the proportional readership and circulation shows a lower uptake in Scotland than in the RoUK.

    So can you answer your own question as to why the ROUK still buy these vile papers?

    The SNP acolytes constant whine that all newspapers in scotland don't support the SNP, that they lie about scotland being the richest country in the world, mislead people about the wise and great leader and insufficiently sycophantic about her every word.
    As a consequence some scots voters put their X in the wrong box.

    One wonders why anyone up there, buys the vile rags.

    People in the rest of the UK decide for themselves what papers to read : however once independent I'm sure Scotland will quickly implement banning orders.

    Ah, I get it now. Because I support SNP you think it's ok to insult or ridicule me. Its fine though, I wouldn't participate on here if I didn't expect this sometimes.

    Your ignorance in comparing Westminster to the English shows me how little you know or understand the posters on here and the vast majority of SNP supporters/members.

    What your statement does is tell me quite a lot about you & your character. Seems like you are the one who does not like people who disagree with you. Me, I'm fine with it, I enjoy other viewpoints as it gives me food for thought but you are stuck going round and round the old 'SNP bad' ground.

    Sturgeon Strides Stateside

    Americans last night were left lauding the doyenne of Scottish politics as Sturgeon's rapier like no nonsense socialism skewered Jon Stewart.

    http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jun/09/jon-stewart-daily-show-nicola-sturgeon-snp-success

    In a country where the only political analysis comes from Comedy Central could Americans be next after their English counterparts to rue wistfully, that they cannot puncture a chad for Sturgeon?

    A nice article, light hearted yes but no ridicule or smearing. Refreshing!

    Cheers for that. I enjoyed it :T

    Few simple points to try and keep you on track

    The SNP acolytes
    1) Acolytes - I'm presuming your using the definition of "assistant or follower". If you are using this definition of myself, then you are an equal acolyte of whatever party you voted for, therefore we are all acolytes

    2) I recall posting a warning about the Scottish Sun supporting the SNP and the English Sun supporting the Conservatives and using this as a warning that the papers simply manipulate their agenda / news into what they think will sell more papers

    I'm in agreement with you with regards to the "news" that is reported in the newspapers. I've said many a time before, be careful what you read and ensure you understand the real story behind the headlines

    3) I've shown above that there is a higher percentage of readership in the ROUK. Have they put their X in the wrong box? If not why not?

    4) You repeat this question but ignore the fact that a higher percentage buy these papers in the ROUK.
    Why does anyone down there "buy these vile rags"?
    Why don't you answer your own question turned around regarding this?

    LOL, your losing it again.
    Are you inferring that those in Scotland that buy papers cannot decide for themselves?
    There would be no ban, but I do encourage everyone to question what they read.

    As an acolyte ( favourite word of yours at the moment Clapton :)) I'd like to ask you what authority do you have to suggest that some scots put their X in the wrong box?

    I never had you down as The Oracle but you've got me wondering now........

    I hope the leader of the Lower Bottom Wallop Parish Council gets afforded such a welcome by American TV on his forthcoming trip to Orlando.
