Oh and no invading other countries and making them our slaves.

You have alot of hate there, maybe you need to speak to someone about that.................

Why are the Scotch so racist?

i dont blame them, their not gonna sell many scotland shirts, with them not being good enough to qualify for the world cup.

i cant see these t shirts hurting the feelings of the england people, we've got more important things to concentrate on, like playing in the world cup.

Oh and the bombing raids in WWII.

Pre-invasion attacks, England was very close falling into the hands of the Eastern Frankish empire.

Great Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal were slave-driving empires that destroyed entire civilizations in Africa, Asia, the Americas, the South Pacific, you name it. Do you think that was okay or are you just selectively resentful and think the Irish and Scots were the only ones who had a hard time?

Ah I laughed at it, If it was the other way round I'd be supporting Scotland. At the end of the day if NI,Wales, Scotland or England won it'd be a victory for the UK really as well as the country in question, that's how I see it anyway.

It was in the Daily Mail today, well the Scottish Variant of it.

Its a chain of three shops that sell novelty items in Aberdeen Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The police interviewed the Aberdeen shop manager coz some eejit with no sense of humour complained it was racist.

You can understand the porridge **** wanting to buy shirts like this coz they get sick of hearing of 1966, etc, every world cup. In fact every time the English team is mentioned on the news

Another thing that really hacks them off is, it was Englands Tim Henman but Britains Andy Murray...... see where its going. Britains David Coulthard etc etc etc. In a lot of cases with the BBC and ITV news team Scotland doesnt really exist except as a part of Britain.

I like it when the men wear their skirts, all pretty them tartans and things.

They had a program on TV up where they polled the Scottish public to see who was the greatest Scot. All those famous scientists inventors designers, mathematicians etc were all cast aside for some bloke who wrote down the words of the song they all sing on New Years Eve, he didnt make it up, he wrote it down, how wierd is that?

They truly are more to be pitied than scorned.
