I wish non scottish contributors to threads like this could get their heads round the fact that all Scots are not all the same.

MOST Scots don't want Independance.

MOST Scots don't have a childish "anyone but the English" mentality.

Scots who voted Remain will mostly still want to Remain also in the UK.

Please consider the feelings of NO voting Remainers before posting generalisations; there are literally millions of us.

We want to work through the difficulties caused by Brexit alongside our English, Irish and Welsh countrymen, not seperately from them.

You are absolutely correct. For my part, I go to great effort to criticise the SNP, not Scotland. Since I'm human (no, really) I must have made slip ups and if so apologise. It can be difficult, when pointing out some setback involving Scotland such as the recent rebuttal of SNP instant EU membership ambitions, to avoid the appearance of being gleeful at a reversal of Shortish opportunities, but it is the SNP who are the baddies in my book, not the Scots.

Some English Papers are not so discerning and fall into the divisive trap that the SNP busily bait with their spiteful rhetoric.

It warms my heart to read inputs here from Scottish Unionists.

Please keep on pulling people up (including me of course) if you think clumsy language is being used.

Please by all means give us the proof that the snp have given the impression the Scots hate the English ... until then shut up cause ahm sick to the back teeth of hearing it ... it's an old argument that's still awaiting proof

So put up or shut up

I don't think I have read anyone saying that Scots hate the English, only that some do and that the SNP uses that as a means to divide our country which is Great Britain.

But anyway your remarks are a tad hypocritical, coming from someone who once wrote she despised the British flag and all it stood for!

But then you're not a real Scot are you

elantan

Are flags human beings now ? Cause you seem to be implying hating a flag is akin to hating a human being

See I learn something new every day

Don't think I've ever claimed to be a Scot ( although I have often been told I am one) , in fact I was ( until recently) quite proud to be English

Not really hard to figure out now is it

Fair enough. A previous leader appears to have said that. A poor choice of words but I don't believe he was condemning English people. If you read the article you'll see that.

If the SNP had taken his suggestion and run with it then the accusation of SNP/Anti-English may hold more weight. However they didn't

I think you only need to watch any Nicola Sturgeon interview post brexit to see Scotland is a welcoming nation. She made it clear anyone who has made Scotland their home is valued here. I believe most scots share that sentiment.

Leanne1812

Your a very welcome adopted Scot Elantan, just as my husband is too. Scotland is his home and he's never felt unwelcome.

You really are shameless.

I imagine your attitude to such vile outpourings would be exactly the same if Cameron had referred to the northern Scottish cancer.

I think not.

I for one am embarrassed at such a vile description of our Southern nieghbours.

String, I feel for you. You obviously have an emotional connection to the union. I don't. I don't believe a political union is best for any of us. Last weeks events have cemented that view for me.

Don't take it personally, we can all still be friends & allies as we are with all our neighbouring countries.

Well of course you are Annie.

Anything at all to do with SNP is vile, disgusting, shameless.

Just your opinion which as usual I'll disregard as the rantings of a bitter unionist.
