Leave 'em alone. Every time I go to Scotland, it's a real delight to talk to people who value a decent intellectual conversation. England is stuck in the same 'intellectualism is subversive' rut it's been in for 100 years.

Don't go!

Edit: Obviously I'm generalising and would not want to imply that scooterscot is bright. But at least he tries.

I do wonder if Cameron & Co. are going to pull a complete blinder in dumping a fading North Sea for the up-and-coming new oil province that is the Falklands? The Telegraph would love that.

The Daily Mash - 'Oh no! It's the Daily Telegraph!' says Scotland

Brilliant - Ken what they mean every time I somehow manage to allow myself to read the torygraph I need a strong whiskey to recover.

The Daily Mash - 'Oh no! It's the Daily Telegraph!' says Scotland

The newspaper launched an all-out assault on the tiny northern country-ish with repeated salvos of debt-ridden commentary and a devastating air strike about the Euro or something.

Communities across Scotland dived into Telegraph shelters, huddling together as the newspaper's air force bombarded them with made-up facts about oil revenues and why Alex Salmond wants to pelt the Duchess of Cambridge with 'neeps'.

Bill McKay, a rebel from Carnoustie, said: "Ah hud a squatch at the Telegraph websitey aroon ten o' the clack.

"Within meenits the sirens were blairin' like a hoolie.

"Even inside the shelter ah could hear the terrifyin' soond o' some fat, baldin' English journalist sayin', 'you'll be exactly the same as Zimbabwe!'.

"Ah don't mind tellin' ye, ah fair shat mahsel."

Meanwhile, as at least seven heavily kilted weirdos launched a counter-attack near a 'burn', Captain Peter Oborne of the Queen's Light Telegraph shouted 'Princess Anne!' before collapsing into a hedge and urinating involuntarily.

Under the Geneva Convention any Scottish person that captures him will have to call him a taxi.
