I love Scotland too, but it is an unfortunate fact that racism and bigotry are still rife, particularly in less affluent areas. It's a problem that Scotland needs to admit to, face up to, and deal with. |

Re: The Org Scottish Referendum
If you get independence, for gods sakes get rid of Salmond and Sturgeon the first chance you get.
They know the majority of the population don't understand economics, or the rules of EU membership, or the way the private companies that tap Oil, Gas and Wind make money, or the way countries like Norway operate. They know this and they know that they can say whatever they want, and publish whatever propaganda they want, and so long as it sounds reasonable to the layman in the street, it will be believed, even if it isn't true. They know this, and they are deliberately misleading the people of Scotland. Deliberately misleading my countrymen, and because I live in England I don't get a vote on it, even though I'd be entitled to apply for Scottish citizenship if it happens. That was another deliberate move by the SNP to keep the vote within the demographic where they were most likely to win, and to keep the administration costs down by using the existing electoral role. I'm not against an independent Scotland per se, but the way those two are going about it boils my p!55! Last edited by Fordward; 14-09-14 at 09:38 AM. |

London has always been multi cultural, so I never had an issue with racism there, just the occasional "sweaty sock" thing because of my accent. Cyprus I am,alway treated like a long lost son, love and respect in abundance. I hope this answers your questions.

Yet, it gets mentioned on forums and people have a tendency to deny the problem exists, and say it's no worse than anywhere else. Well go live in a less affluent area with no tourists, and it is worse. Until people recognise there's a problem, they can't deal with it. |

I suppose it's like a Scotsman having resided elsewhere other than his homeland. Happens everywhere. Not restricted to Scotland. Anyway, slightly derailing away from the subject....

The Org Scottish Referendum
Quote:
The level of "debate" has been pretty depressing all round. The politicians have been bad enough but they're disingenuous for a living. The general public are shocking. So much negativity on both sides. Loads of chippy jocks moaning about the evil English government on one side and a desperately negative view of Scotland on the other. I'm tempted to abstain in despair. Thank god I'm not on Facebook. A pal had a comment on his page from someone who said she was voting no because she didn't want to live in Alex Salmonds Catholic state. WTF? |
