But if you have only ever encountered a racist on telly then your qualification to pontificate on racists and racism is rather weak. And I really find it hard to believe you have lived such a sheltered life but I suppose lucky you. I’ve never met a shark either but I could pontificate about them just as enthusiastically 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPs doing it for free on a promise of a future directorship or shares when they end their term as an MP will still be allowed. Boris thinks we don't notice.

Of course he has FA but you backed him into a corner and is now playing dumb. He’s now standing in that corner facing the wall like one of his students.

Now I’d say it’s definitely the other way about with younger Scot’s far more a tolerant country. Seems like racism has been handed down the generations more successfully in England. Obviously a bit of a generalisation there and is not fact just my opinion having lived in both countries and still stay/visit England fairly regularly.

Actually now you mention it I have heard racist comments and shouts from other fans within the stadium. Not sure if that counts as meeting racists but definitely been surrounded by a few, especially where we were sitting at the league cup final vs St Mirren.

I think it is fair to say that the much vaunted tolerance of Scotland has not really been tested much. Scotland remains am overwhelmingly white society compared to London and most large English cities. The last large scale immigration to Scotland was from Ireland in the century before last. And that caused problems which linger on even today. White English are probably the largest recent immigrant group in Scotland and Edinburgh in particular. Anyway the good news is that in England as well as Scotland the young are generally less racist than their parents and grandparents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaliveits105 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The SNP Westminster leader was grilled on his work outside of being an MP where his hourly rate reached highs of £1,217.71. Ian Blackford worked just eight hours a week every three months and made a total of £38,967 at the time. But when grilled on the second job, the Scottish MP said his "sole responsibility" is to his constituents. no need for pig images here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the Tory, last week, who couldn't hand in his phone because he lost it, and it was broken, and it was defective, and he gave it away as a present. So someone got his defective, broken phone as a gift, but they need to find it themselves. Not corrupt in the slightest, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
