Whilst reading many articles, and the comments left on them, it has astounded be the level of racism and name-calling directed towards Scottish SNP voters, or even towards the Scots in general. Names such as MacSturgeon (used in an official media headline) where none of her names contains a 'Mac". Insults incorporating words such as 'jock' etc would not be tolerated if directed towards other ethnic minorities, but seeing as the SNP is a threat to the political class of westminster and threatens to shake things up a bit, it is seen as completely acceptable. Sick of it

It's not racist to dislike followers of a political party.
The SNP aren't really a threat to the 'political class of Westminster', whatever that may be.

"Insults incorporating words such as 'jock' etc would not be tolerated if directed towards other ethnic minorities"
You wouldn't imagine that a country that has provided Great Britain with some of the hardest, bravest fighting men in our history of conflicts would be so delicate as to wilt like a flower because somebody used a term of endearment would you? because that's what it is.
I have certainly never met one that did.
OP, are you a Scot or are you another TOOOBy.....? (Taking offence on others behalf)

Op is right.
Apparently the scottish arent allowed to vote for who they want. They should stay in their box and do what we tell them to.
How dare they try and have a say in british politics!
This is why people who voted no , thinking we are "better together", are naive fools

There are far more Scottish people who hate the SNP than there are English people.

It's not racist to discriminate against someone because of their political beliefs. There are far more Scottish people who hate the SNP than there are English people. Vote for who you want, mate. Just don't expect moderate, decent parties to give them a platform, or do anything other than obstruct them. The SNP present an unacceptable ideology - they should not expect any favours from those who oppose it.

Scotland another White country being racially destroyed by diversity. I'm sure Labour will benefit, with those millions of Porkistani's and Nigerian's coming.

96% of Scotland is white from a 2011 study so that's not true.

haha no... I couldn't hold my outrage any longer reading the hateful/xenophobic comments, telling Scots to 'go back to Jockland'.
edit: there is a difference between the meaning intended by those in Scotland and the negative meaning intended by those attacking a group of people and their nation's political beliefs

people have the right to express political views, so 'obstructing' their ability to do so and completely slandering and scare-mongering them in the media is completely unacceptable and something you expect to happen in 1915, NOT 2015

my point is there has been a huge anti-Scottish sentiment whipped in the UK over the past year and it is only going to get worse with the success of the SNP.

We're the ones that have seen an increase in racist/xenophobic violence since the SNP started promoting a politics of division.

The SNP have been promoting us as victims for quite some time now contrary to the factually based evidence.
The weak of mind seem to be falling for the lies rather too easily.
