    PNP has just answered this TMT.

    Scotland has 5.5 million people with many views. 10% of the population is English. I like many people who moved to Scotland do so because of the friendliness of Scottish society. I don't know why you should hold your view but it's way off the mark.

    Yes PNP, I knew some Welsh and Scots who said that they liked England and the English until I pressed them as to how they really felt and the answers were very different.

    Maybe you should read up about the police being asked by Colin Shaughnessy to investigate Salmond's anti English insults Spurf.

    "The Lord Snootys" who are at Westminster. Why should we allow these incompetents to have authority over our country." Just google"Police asked to investigate Salmond's anti English jibes." Go on.

    How am I supposed to argue with that? Some people that you met didn't like England. Er, ok?
    If the Scottish were so rabidly anti-English as you though, then wouldn't the Yes campaign be winning by an absolute mile?

    I'm sure that someone who's English who's based his entire career on being anti-Scottish would say some bad things about Scotland, too.
    Hardly something to base an opinion on about a whole nation of people though, is it?

    Pick a UKIP candidate that's said something negative about any other nation.
    Is that reflective of the opinions of the whole country?

    Yes I know all about this TMT this is not anti English it is anti Westminster. England does not rule the UK Westminster does. Salmond is referring to the unelected House of Lords and the predominance of public schoolboys in the cabinet. Some of the 'Lord Snootys' are Scottish.

    PNP, I think the no campaign are voting no not because it has nothing to do with the English but they know how much worse off they will be without the rest of the UK. I also posted that these celts SAID that they liked the English but when pressed the truth came out and they didn't at all. The vast majority of Scots consider the English in a very insulting manner.

    This is the same Alex Salmond that was educated at the same university as the Secretary of State for Defence Michael Fallon, Prince William and Kate Middleton and is a professional politician, right?

    Read Irvine Welsh quotes about how the English are wan*ers and that Scotland is ruled by effete ars*holes.

    St Andrews is the University one of the worlds top. Are you suggesting that all people who attend a particular university are toffs or that all students have ONE view?

    He is a novelist TMT he is also one person. Do you think novels and films are real life?

    Scotland's universities are charging English students more for tuition than other nationalities, you can google that too.

    I challenge you to ask the Scots what they really think about the English. Ask" Do you deep down consider the English as wan*ers?" and let me know the answers. I pressed one Scottish writer about it, she told me i was right because that's exactly how the Scots see the English. This is not prejudice at all, it's just me telling the truth.

    No, I'm suggesting that Salmond is a massive hypocrite whose main interest is seeing his own name in lights.
    He's a one-trick pony, a champagne socialist and he was extremely evasive when his spending of government funds was investigated.
    Can't stand the man.

    These were his personal views and nothing to do with his novels. There was a Scottish international footballer called Willie Miller who stated how much he hated the English

    TMT as I said I don't know why you hold these extreme and offensive views but they bear no relation to the real world and quite frankly I do not wish to carry on this debate with you.

    Be assured the Clyde yards,will be replaced by English yards if the vote is YES
    Tragic for the team in Scotland who have worked so hard to achieve the required professional output and a major blow to the promises being made by the Salmon(d) swishing downhill

    PNP I will tell you that in my view Salmond is a man of deep integrity. He is an economist and certainly not a socialist as for one trick. He has been the First Minister of Scotland for 7 years and has presided over many advances in Scottish society and tried to protect Scotland from the worst of the austerity from Westminster.
    l
    Of course the usual misinformation and lies from the British media has attempted to rubbish him. I always ask people who say they don't like Alec Salmond to tell me what it is he has done that upsets them. I don't get an answer.

    Salmond has worked for decades for Scottish Independence this is his dream and what is wrong with that?

    Of course it upsets the Lord Snootys at Westminster and I am delighted that it does.
