Please note that I'm not anti-Scottish either. One of my granddads was a Scot.

I want free of both Westminster and the EU. If we get free of Westminster and the SNP think they can just take us back into the EU then they will be digging their own grave. A hell of a lot of Scots feel that way.

As an Englishman living in Scotland I can honestly say that the vast majority of Scots are anti-Westminster and not anti-English

However, there are elements within Scottish Nationalism that are happy to blur those lines.

The narrative from Holyrood is that of an embattled culture struggling under the domination of it's larger neighbour.

The truth is Scottish folk have absolutely no barriers to expressing and promoting their Scottish roots and traditions and would probably find this less so under the EU who want to homogenise all European cultures and remove differences and individuality.

I could support indy for Scotland if the SNP weren't such a bunch of second rate politicians and first rate whingers.

Economically Scotland has it's issues, but that's more to do with post industrialisation and the move to a more service based economy. Scotlands infrastructure needs MASSIVE investment

I don't, just a vocal minority like any other section of society. My question wasn't accusatory, I was genuinely interested in why the Scots would be prepared to put up with diktats from Europe but not from Westminster? Wouldn't you just like to control your own destinies without outside interference from anyone? Rather than embrace the EU and all of it's conditions wouldn't you prefer just to trade with them like many other countries?

I think there's a relatively simple answer to that - the Scots, like me, detest the pillocks that make up the scumbag 'nasty party'.

Weedeek, Do you know there is a Scotland Section? Feel free to join us.
