@asubjectiveopinion Hear Hear!These Evil liars and bigots would have us believe that somehow a worker from Liverpool or Birmingham or Plymouth is somehow "DIFFERENT" because their English . Its RACISIM and its Fascisim, its EVIL and Its wrong. iTs the decadance of these rich . millionare Sepratist parasites that totally sickens me. The phrase "the banality of evil" comes immidiatly to mind when one looks at these seperatists, their propaganda, and their "Luvvie" supporters. Banal, Erzatz Trashy

@asubjectiveopinion Refuse to define yourself eh well I will do it for you......F'n eejit.... twat whatever that is. Also Scotland Wull .........and so will Mr Salmond.

@ColossalCollapse Well the truth is there is Nothing the Scots can not do it's just a pity we have these cowardly back stabbing quislings among us but they will be delt with unless they wise up of course. Fat chance!

@strathpipe massive respect for caryle but what he fuck is on about....He is a Rangers fan, sure that says it all really, They're mostly of a unionist mind set.

They way I see it as an outsider is that, Scottish nationalists focus on what Scotland CAN do and Scottish unionists focus on what Scotland CANNOT do.

No your not Irish or Italian, your fucking American. My ancestors came from Africa, originally, just like us all, but I don't go around saying I'm fucking Nigerian do I. Americans seem to be ashamed of their own nation.

Nationalism is for idiots.

Small minded twats maintaining borders for the rich so they can piss on the lot of us.

I'm not "Scottish", I refuse to define myself by an accident of geography.

I've got more in common with a working-class Englishman or a Polish woman than with some rich bas like Salmond.

Carlisle has just spouted utter pish..it's not about nationalism...this is our stuff the Irish have loads of it. McCormack was one of the founders of the SNP!! How can he play such a huge character in Scottish politics and say the film's not about nationalism? If what he's talking about is culture well Ireland's been independent for nearly 100 years and Scotland's has suffered becasue of British dilution! Mon the culture, mon the identity, mon independence
