    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.

    Will you or will you not condemn the vile words calling the English "Southern cancers" if not then shame on you.

    I already stated it was a poor choice of words. Did you miss that? Are you going to rant that I am anti English now?

    Sheesh! I don't know why I give you the time of day to be perfectly honest.

    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

    Amazing, demand proof, get proof (with quotation marks) and then just flip it off.

    If John Major had mentioned the'Scottish Cancer' I doubt you'd consider it water under the bridge because of the passing of time.

    Shame.

    Absolutely. It`s just proof of the snp cultists ability to ignore what they don`t want to hear,it really is quite frightening.

    No politician south of the border has ever expressed anti scots sentiments? Really........

    I believe Scotland's government is open, welcoming & inclusive to all.

    I asked should they be held responsible & accountable for these remarks?

    Is this really a subject we want to dredge up again?

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

    Thanks Leanne :)

    I blocked her ages ago ... she's just so bitter there is no point even trying I reckon :)

    And on the point of anti Scottish remarks ... I have heard plenty from our southern MP's but like many ( I'm sure ) I don't hold the people of the country responsible for the few, there are idiots both sides of the border... but they are thankfully few.

    You started this but I'll finish it.

    I'm not prepared to go down this path again.

    I'm not anti English.

    You won Annie, well done.
