Been to both countries and actually have experienced friendliness..........and, yes, discrimination!. You will note in particular that I said "On the whole"
No nation is devoid of it's racists and stereotypes. My own country, Scotland, is, on the whole, anti-English, and this anti-English sentiment raises it's head at every World Cup or game involving England. For me to root for Germany or Argentina ahead of England is anathema..having a military background and having stood side by side with my fellow Brits from London, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow.

Valid point but discrimination is everywhere. I lived abroad and largely had to mix with english who either hated scots or thought nothing of all calling you sweaty or sock to your face. It's a shame we buy into divides given to us by media.I like to see England lose yet if they win I have some England friends I'm happy for

Just as too many of my fellow Scots will never stop being bitter towards the English!

As a Hibernian fan and a Scotsman who believes in us being part of the UK I applaud your honesty and courage in giving your frank opinion. We would get on far better as a nation with sections of the braveheart highlander mentality becoming much more tolerant, putting the past behind us and engage fully as partners with the rest of the UK.

Scotland will never move on as a country if living in the dark ages albeit there's some who see individual profit in keeping us within it.

Mon Scottish Labour!

Thank you.
I sometimes wonder why I raise my head above the ramparts knowing that I'm likely to receive a hail of anti-English arrows from a swathe of my fellow Scots.

This is very true and I respect this opinion but we have to look beyond both supremacist flag waving bearers and look to building bridges not burning them. There's been much give recently from all sides apart from the 'Snp' who would impoverish us and not care because of their highlander attitudes.

We're sensible outward looking lowlanders here in Edinburgh, a city of Adam Smith and other such intellectuals.

Mon Scottish Labour!

As a nation we can do so much more with open minds not closed ones as is the way with some.

Edinburgh is an outward looking city of intellect and responsible capitalism.

We should be looking outward not inward as is the case with the supremacist saltire waving disability and transgender hating Snp Gillian Martin's of the world.

Glory Glory

The divide of people is sold by media. We have a unique union open to question of fairness equality.

Impoverish is a strong word I would say . You respect opinions but you believe yours is right.
I'm glad never known nothing

Of course I believe I'm right or left of center as the case may be with Scottish Labour.

I respect what you say, you're polite and trying to say something in absence of being a smart alec even if it does contradict entirely my own beliefs.

Mon Scottish Labour!

Did you read all of the post or just choose to select a part of it and ask a very silly question?

Mon Scottish Labour!

I highlighted the part I was curious about.

Why is it a very silly question? You seem fairly entrenched in your own views, which I would consider to be symptomatic of a closed mind?

But I could be completely wrong....

Admins as this is no longer about the Germans going out of the world cup and has become a party political broadcast can we move this thread to the holy ground?

It’s called pleasuring yourself and the only anti-English arrows are in your over stimulated, yet narrow minded imagination.

Thread has become a farce, well done.

This one looks to have run it’s course. Thread closed
