@we_know_what @DaveHP_ Do you realise how racist and offensive that is?

They were born in Scotland and have grown up in Scotland.

How on Earth are they half as Scottish as anyone else?

They're simply Scottish.

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@DaveHP_ And while we're being "long done" with stuff, I'm long done with the lame POV that my two sons are any less Scottish than everyone else in this country because they've a Japanese mother.

All that ancestry and purity guff can get in the sea.

@themajorityscot Suuuuure... 🙄

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@DaveHP_ Perhaps you and a minority are. I'm confident though that most decent folk can still see past skin colour.

@WingsScotland My son is currently completing his UCAS form - wonder if it would increase his chances if he answered yes to the trans question?

Wouldn't be lying, as he wasn't "assigned" a gender at birth, and doesn't identify with gender ideology now, so doesn't meet the definition of "cis".

@WingsScotland It's gaslighting, the sort of thing Trump says. Voters are sick and tired of it.

@Swatch What's with not letting customers into the shop in Edinburgh? Not a great business model, surely?

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@meljomur Sounds like he's Scottish.

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@ozcarptweets @meljomur I don't give a fuck about their ethnicity nor mine, but if they can trace their "Scottish" bloodline back centuries, why the hell are they not "ethnically Scottish"?

That's the problem with this blood and soil shite, the next step is to start talking about purity.

@MaryLaing1966 @meljomur Which half?

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@ozcarptweets @meljomur So because I have an Estonian grandfather and my sons have a Japanese mother, they're only 37.5% Scottish, despite having lived here all their lives?

Absolute pish, of course. They're Scottish

@WingsScotland One that also gets me is "consume within 2 days of opening".

My wife is always telling me off for scranning cold meat that's been open in the fridge for three days.

@staylorish It also makes independence more feasible, from a trade point of view.

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@WingsScotland He always stutters and stammers over that question, before trying to answer it without answering it.

It's easy to read between the lines and figure out his real view.

@jaccocharite Are you suggesting everyone who fought with the wehrmacht was a Nazi?

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@BjCruickshank @JamesMelville @theSNP I voted SNP, but this "we won the election" response to all criticism won't cut it.

The SNP is presiding over decline.

[An drochaid fhada @AnDrochaidFhada]

@CraigMurrayOrg Eh? My Estonian grandad fought with the Wehrmacht after seeing the Soviets commit attrocities against many of his family and friends, ultimately fleeing to Scotland.

He hated the Russians to his dying day, but he was no fuckin Nazi.

@chunty_cops @billykayscot I live in Wormit and, try as I might, I have been unable to pass on my mid-Fife Scots to my sons. There just doesn't seem to be a huge amount of people around here who speak the language ☹️
