While, tragically, a couple of dozen of red squirrels did die from the squirrel pox virus, this infectious disease is no threat to survival of the red squirrels as subspecies. Those, who are actually responsible for the decline of the red squirrels in Great Britain, are the PEOPLE of that country. It is they, who have always been killing off the red squirrels as pests. The other cause of that decline has been deforestation, pollution and diseases. The red and the gray squirrel subspecies have always lived in harmony.

The hostility of the British people against the wonderful gray squirrels stems from their perception of the gray squirrels as the American invasion.

The contemptible British barbarians!

Although a couple of people are not so keen on this Donald Trump guy (but he has Scottish Heritage so we should at least listen to him). His plan to build a new golf course outside Aberdeen has had a very mixed reception. A number of people are objecting to it because it is on conservation land or it is too close to where they live (nimbys who would object to anything and everyhing). Personally if he wants to invite me for game of golf I will accept (but only if he provides the clubs as a non-player I dont have any myself)

Personally I think some of them studied his Trump University course on investing in real estate and discovered they could make some extra money by buying a house right slap bang in the middle of a green and waiting for top price to be offerred.

You obviously like to make as many assumptions as you think I am doing. You tell me I don’t have the accent that may be true to some extent but I was born in Scotland (Johnston Street, Annan Dumfrieshire) I left when still only a youngster when my parents moved for job reasons and returned to my home country of Scotland just over five years ago. We don’t as yet have a Scottish passport to prove Scottishness but I do hold a UK passport and will apply for a Scottish passport if we achieve independence. I believe that it would be good for the nation.

By suggesting all Scots have a skin and hair colour similarity suggests you have not been to Scotland very much yourself but also shows you have spent the time learning all the old racist stereotypes.

Did you think we all have red ginger hair just like those “hey Jimmie tartan bonnets” sold in all the souvenir shops? Did you know we have moved on from walking along Union Street (the main street in Aberdeen) waving claymores above our heads?

Incidentally did you know that Union Street Aberdeen was named after the Act of Union with England so we may have to change that as well

Heres a tip YOUR NOT SCOTISH. You dont have the accent, you dont have the passport, your totally unfamiliar with everyday life there. On top of that your notion that ‘Scottish’ DNA imparts some sort of advantage is moronically childish because other than your skin and maybe hair colour Scottish people are just people like any other people. I’l make it real simple for you…They are no more or less brave, funny, proud, noble than any other nationality.

Get on with your life and stop trying to compensate for your own shortcomings by trying to use the nationalistic cliches of another country to prop up your clearly stunted sense of identity
