Why didn't they take the same car to the very south of England and London and cover it in Scottish Flags to see what happened?

It's the same on both sides of the border!!! Disgusting report from the BBC Newsnight program.

Why is a whole country blamed for the actions of a few, whether Scots or English?

@glasgow1234 I don't believe all scots hate england my grandparents are scottish but all you get on here is abuse from scots you can't go onto a scottish video without seeing it, you may not be the same but i don't like you for reasons other than your views on scottish independence

[glasgow1234]

@georgeuk94 You really need to get over yourself mate. If you think we are all sitting up here demanding independence because we hate England or English people then you need to get real! Quite frankly, i'm sick, tired and bored of this drivvle. If you want to believe all Scots hate English people then fine, i don't care either way. All i care about is making my country independent which it will be very soon.

@glasgow1234 No, i don't think it would get trashed the flags stolen maybe, your a hate filled nation you just don't want to admit it.

[glasgow1234]

@georgeuk94 So you are telling me if you took an old car and covered it in saltires and left it in a rough housing estate in say London, Liverpool or Manchester that it wouldn't be vandalized by thugs??? Get real ! The KIDS!! who attacked that car with english flags did so because they are mindless thugs, idiots !!! not because they hate England. The only people who go on about this are the BBC. They are the ones causing the division!

[georgeuk94]

@glasgow1234 Its not on the same on both sides, heres proof of anglophobia. People generally don't care if people fly flags in london its one of the most multicultural cities in europe and welcome all nations so don't even go there.

They where asking for it.

They were just wee NEDs. If you had put a Rangers or Aberdeen flag up the same reaction would have happened.

@TheTatmeister No, when I said'we hate the english' I meant there is an anti-english sentiment in Scotland because of the bias, anti-scottish media we are exposed too. Scots then seem to hate the english because all we ever see of them is smug xenophobic television presenters who belittle the Scots. And then they claim there is anti-english feeling for no reason. No scot would really hate someone just because they were English, only if they acted like the media act towards us.

You claim that its wrong to tar people with the same brush,but you then claim you hate the English. You claim xenophobia is worng,but your blatantly xenophobic. As a Welsman ive seen much more foul bigotry towards the English from the scots than vice versa. There is no English i know whom thinks they are better than you. You also claim that the English shold get along with you,they do try,you just hate them so much your your too ignorant to care...
