With what? Your f@rts?!

My wife would agree with you

[MarillionFan]

This is clear racism against the Scotch race, can we get this poster/sockie banned please?

WHS. You just cannot go around insulting the pale skinned, freckly, overweight, low life expectancy, soulless ginger tight arses based on some type of stereotype.

Nor the Scots, for that matter.

Is there a Scotch race anyway, surely if you go back far enough they're either Irish or Picts ?????

Nope, they are all a bunch of bloody mongrels.

DNA study shows Celts are not a unique genetic group - BBC News

I did like the bit about how the Northern and Southern Welsh have less in common with each other than they do with the English.

I dare someone to sing 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' to the face of Alex Salmond (whilst holding up a portrait of the 1st Duke Of Sutherland) when he arrives in the Smoke this May..

"The Sutherland Clearances
Many Highland farm families were forced from their homes by landlords. These removals
became known as the Highland Clearances.
The Duke of Sutherland owned vast areas of the Highlands. He was one of the richest men in the
world. To 'improve' his lands, he replaced farmers with sheep. The sheep wool was sold to make more money.
By 1820 he had almost 120,000 sheep!"

"In 23 July 2007, the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond unveiled a 3-metre (10 ft) high bronze "Exiles"
statue in Helmsdale, Sutherland, which commemorates the people who were cleared from the area by landowners"

More of a race than those south of the border. 850 new arrivals on a daily basis down dat way.

The Scots were a tribe from Ireland who moved over via the Western Isles.

I'm having dinner with Alex tonight so I shall warn him of your dastardly plan.

The Duke of Sutherland's family put a statue of him up on the hill above Golspie but it regulary gets vandalised. The Highlanders have long memories.
