This is not a good thing and it is something that most Scots are uncofortable discussing amongst themselves let alone with anyone outside the country. TBH, I find the parallels with where I am living at the moment really creepy.

    Still, on the plus side, it gives you something else to reinforce your poor-me-perpetual-victim world view.
    I can honestly say that I know very very few people who actually hate the english to any extent worth mentioning. Yeah banter, which usually goes both ways, but actually racial abuse with venom, no.

        Among my friends and family I would say that pretty much holds true for most people. My missus is English and no-one has said anything untoward other than the fact they can't understand what she is saying.

        On the other hand, I know several people who will spout a load of hate filled sh1te on this subject, particularly when alcohol is involved. These range from some university educated middle-class types through to some real cretinous trolls from round my way (some in my family.)
