Strange innit? Here in England we are quite happy to offer Scotland
support in football (as well as the mountains of cash we Londoners
send north of the border every year). It really is a pity that this
isn't reciprocated - we've never done anything unpleasant to Scotland
that merited such poisonous racism as we receive.

Are you kidding???

Historical:
Invasion and removal of Sovereignty
Imposition of rule by foreigners (Germans)
Highland Clearances
Taxation without representation

Recent:
Taxation without representation
Poll Tax before anyone else and at higher rates
Toxic waste dumping
Germ warfare experiments (Anthrax Island...??)
Nuclear subs/power stations siting
Pinching their granite
Taking the **** with Oil Revenue promises
Ripping up the heather and putting it in car radiator grilles

And that's just for starters!!

Actually, it's not - it's all Swim (a Dundoonian) could come up with at
short notice!! :-)
