Straight answer ... I can see why you might be narked but it's only the same as when I feel I've been called a Little Englander.
Yup .. laugh it off. What's the alternative?
No one on here can say anything disparaging about the Scots? I'd give you independence tomorrow too.
But if it makes you feel better .. have a moan about Malcolm .. oh, you have .. you are in this dedicated thread.

Re: Racism
My eldest nephew lives in Edinburgh,Doreen(his wife) is Scottish and Trevor`s mum was Irish/Scottish. I had a great Uncle who fled to Wales after it was known he had had an affair-I lived in a very Methodist little village. I`ve seen some odd comments about them all that I would consider `out of order` Yes racist I guess.15-09-2016, 05:43 PM

Racism although intolerable in most civil society, seems to be accepted on here - just go onto some of the Islam/Muslim threads it'll make your hair curl.

Me .. I'm just more reluctant to use the term racist.
Why? It's a pretty powerful word. It means someone is claiming victim status usually over a disagreeable view they don't like or find offensive and they want to shout about it. Fine. If that's how they perceive themselves who am I to try to change their mind set. It's a free country.
I just dislike lynch mobs and am reluctant to join one.

Re: Racism
Despair all you wish.Not sure why my post rattled your cage .... but hey ho.
You have to agree, if there isn't an argument on here you're not happy are you and start whining that it's all gone quiet because you've no one to throw your weight against.
Probably end up in the trash can now!

And I'm sorry if my posts appear as though I seem to go on and on. Tell me next time if I threaten to exceed my allocated quota of posts on a thread will you.
I'll shut up now ... I'd hate to risk been called a sad bastard.
