Well ok but he said that scotlands dosnt enjoy making money but enjoys spending it i found this very offensive and if he got his facts right scotland is the one supplying britain with all the oil which is being frittered away. And he did deliberatly point out the fact the Gordon Browne was a scot and said it was relevant and he is baseing his opinions on statistics but yeah to sum it up he is an arse. Just because he dosn't want scotland to leave the UK

I wouldnt take it to heart to be honest. People like to view the Irish are alcoholics who are nothing more drunks with red hair. Just got to take this things with a pinch of salt.

true but that dosnt excuse it what if i said the english are all arigant stuck up poofs that wouldnt go down well and nor should it go down well (Thats not my opinion btw) So to me its stereotyping people. e.g. All americans are fat all italians are arigant all the english talk posh all the welsh's words disipate. None of this is exceptable all thats happened here is that he slapped a statistic on it. And he made a big deal about Browne being a scot if the statistic is correct then surely hes generalising in saying what he did. The english wrote in saying to hear that made them ashamed of being english. Hes not only upset the scots

Let people talk. Just ignore it, brush it off, and move on. There's no use in staying upset about something so insignificant over what 1 person says.

But its not one person, its a whole group of ignorant racists.

Ok it may be a group but it doesn't make a difference on my opinion.
