It comes from all your posts Molly not just the one before this one ... which party exactly is my HQ attached to ?

Can you stop criticising others.....report any posts that breach forum rules.

An assessment of my character from yourself is not welcome....not that it would in any way be accurate! :rotfl:

And it goes both ways tricky

I've no doubt it does.

Anti-Scottish sentiment would appear to be on the rise of late, from my perspective it would be to do with the fact that you vote SNP MP's into Westminster. It's already a division between Scotland and the rest of the UK, certainly not in a co-operative spirit.

Personally I think it's stupid to hate on anyone within these isles, I consider us all to be cut from the same cloth. 300 years of being one nation does that to a society, at least in my eyes. I feel that the sporting rivalry is a healthy one, the political rivalry is not.

100% agree.

Engendering anti scottish sentiment is a deliberate tactic by both SNP behaviour in Westminster and by persons who deliberately post contentious and divisive content on forums such as these.

The purpose is to engender a "just let them go" attitude amongst rUK voters.

It saddens me, but at least it is so obvious, only the particularly gullible would fall for it.

And things like this:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/29/sturgeon-confirms-scottish-talks-on-free-abortions-for-northern-irish-women?CMP=twt_gu

It will stoke anti-Scot division amongst those in Northern Ireland who are pro-life. It's one thing to be different and to be proud of the difference but another thing entirely to foist it upon the other nations of the Union, SNP MP's in Westminster and free abortions for Norther Irish women against the law in Northern Ireland. It's a savvy move, allowing her to stoke division and dis-unity by meddling in the affairs of others whilst also claiming a moral high ground.

Her sense of self importance which is so obvious by telling the legislature of Northern Ireland that she rejects their democratic process on abortion is arrogance at its finest.

UKIP will no doubt soon be changing their name to EIP. Good luck with their own particular isolationist/protectionist brand of nationalism though.

Nicola has been doing quite well over in Ireland today ... whilst a £20m bung by labour has been discovered ...

Fabulous two days for Nicola in Ireland. What a turnaround from 2014. I think even she was overwhelmed.

Michael Gray Vice president of @fiannafailparty says @NicolaSturgeon will lead Scotland to independence.

David Clegg
Fair to say the Irish Seanad is quite keen on the idea of Scottish independence.

Andrew McFadyen Speaker after speaker has stood up in the Irish Parliament and expressed support for Scottish independence.

Real warmth from Irish senators towards Nicola Sturgeon and support for Scottish independence that will send her home with a glowing heart

Brexit bashing turns into independence love-in as Irish senators swoon over Nicola Sturgeon

The First Minister is given a warm welcome in Dublin with political leaders keen to hear when Scotland will win its freedom.

Even the Daily Record couldn't spin it too badly. If I sound over enthusiastic, it's because I'm winding you up a little.;) However, it was nice to see, all also anxious to help in any way possible, Scotland staying in the EU. Some lovely quotes from the Senators and makes a nice change from Spain hogging all the EU/Scotland attention. Enjoy !

The fact that you are regarded by some people, and were regarded by some people, as a threat in the last general election to be avoided, speaks hugely to the power and strength of your arguments and the strength of your movement. I have no doubt that the genius of the Scottish people, once released through full independence, will achieve the same for Scotland."

Ireland must support too Scotland's democratic right to retain its natural position within the EU through a differentiated relationship with the EU. I commend your leadership for standing up for Scotland's national interest in this regard.

Scotland will, it is inevitable in my view, take its place amongst the nations of the world. As your self-determination becomes a reality, please note in these houses and in this country, you will have the closest of allies.

I admired your passion for independence in the 2014 referendum, and I continue to admire your passion for independence. While it wasn't to be your day in 2014, Scotland's day will come and I know that it will be yours in the future. The uncertainty that has stemmed from Brexit is deeply worrying for both Scotland and Ireland. I hope that you return to Scotland more confident and assured of your relationship with Ireland, knowing that you have a strong ally across the water and that our co-operation, friendship and support will grow stronger in the future.

It actually might be because you keep voting Tories into No10. If you voted Labour things might be different. But it's not up to anyone to tell others where their vote would be best placed. With Brexit, I'm more glad than ever it's the SNP in charge up here. I dread to think what Scottish Tories and Labour would be doing now.

Personally I think you've no idea what you're talking about, but no ( as elantan also knows ) arguing with ignorance on this subject. Do you visit Scotland often ?
