Scot Gov Has Done Well

The moment devolution happened Scottish MPs became Scottish Nationalists in a corrupt balkanised union, balkanised by a Scottish PM and Scottish deputy PM. Also, Business Insider is not a credible source. It's basically some left-wing NY blog known to post factually incorrect material, anonymous sources and click bait. It's why idiots rely on it.

For full context:

You are disingenuously trying to re-invent your original question here. Just so that we are clear, you actually asked me “ to provide evidence of anti English sentiment from the SNP, from the YES movement, from me [i.e. you] or any other Scottish poster.” In providing the link to Dr Kelly’s paper I have done that in glorious technicolour, even if that isn’t apparent from your shameful lily-livered response.

You can’t even acknowledge and call out any of these numerous examples of shocking anti-English racism for what they are. Instead you shamefully try to downplay these blatantly racist behaviours as nothing more than “people, and groups that go too far” and “derogatory remarks”. To be clear, this is nowhere close to going too far or derogatory: it is highly offensive racist behaviour and you expose yourself for what you are by not recognising and calling it out as such.

By saying, as you do above, that the SNP only stamps down on instances where anti-English behaviour goes too far is an acknowledgement by you that it tolerates or uses anti-English behaviour that it doesn’t think goes too far. Well, just for the record as neither you nor, apparently, the SNP seem to grasp this point but no anti-English behaviour is acceptable, none of it is not going too far, and all of it points to bigotry or racism.

As if not being able to call out and condemn the many examples of vile anti-English behaviour that I presented you with is not bad enough, you incredibly seem to reserve your strongest criticism, not for the behaviours highlighted or for those indulging in such behaviours, but for the messenger for “taking things a bit far” by “searching through Facebook & twitter to find the occasional anti English statement”. It’s as if you believe that these places should be safe havens for racist and bigots. There is nothing occasional about the anti-English bigotry to be found on social media and Dr Kelly was not capturing and reproducing anywhere close to all of the anti-English behaviour he will have identified out there, just some of the most blatantly racist examples. For every one of these shocking examples there will be 100 examples that are not quite so blatant and for every one of those not quite so shocking examples there will be another 100 slightly less shocking examples again and so on down through the scale. Social media, including contributions from you and others on this place, is every bit as valid a place to look for evidence of anti-English racism (or any other variety of racism, for that matter).

As I have explained in a recent post (and as you are demonstrating here) you are obviously so exposed to anti-English sentiment and attitudes being routinely displayed within the circles you are involved with that it has become completely normalised behaviour to you, the result being that you can’t recognise anti-English behaviour even when it is right in front of your eyes. I was going to qualify that by saying that you wouldn’t recognise anti-English behaviour apart from the most extreme stuff such as that captured in Dr Kelly’s paper but I am not so sure about that anymore given your response above. 

BTW - You keep asking me to provide you with something I have already given you. I posted a list of anti-English behaviours and attitudes that you have displayed on here some time ago, following which I explained that your desire to see England’s football team defeated by everybody and anybody it comes up against could be added as further evidence of your anti-English bigotry in action. Obviously, none of those behaviours are as blatant as the examples in Dr Kelly’s paper but that does not mean that they are not anti-English nor mean that you are not guilty of displaying anti-English behaviour on here.
