Apparently, if you read the Telegraph or are a Tory, you won't be allowed into Wishart's Scotland. #UglyNationalism

What a sad place Scotland has become under these losers. When are we going to stop treating this as a joke and banish these bigots from normal society?
This casual bigotry should be called out for what it actually is: Smug Scottish Supremacism, driven by hate-filled bigots who comfortably think they're morally superior to their fellow citizens.
It's a sick mindset: An inferiority complex that makes them think they're better than the English, while simultaneously claiming to be their victims. A warped victimhood that's the hallmark of Nationalists, racists and bigots the world over.
Just as there is no 'civic' racism, there is no 'civic' Nationalism. Scrape the surface and the barely disguised bigotry, division and hate of Nationalists like Wishart and Bella Caledonia and many others is plain to see. But why do so few *want* to see it?
Because they've convinced themselves that 'Scottish independence' is a noble goal. But that's self-serving BS. When the narrative is changed to 'Breaking up the UK through the politics of division and manufactured grievance' it's not a noble endeavour at all.
Scottish Nationalism has NEVER been a noble endeavour. It's ALWAYS been driven by greed, intolerance, bigotry, victimhood, grievance and barely-disguised hate. These are not the virtues upon which to start any nation. They're certainly not the virtues to break up our current one.
The media must stop giving these bigots the benefit of the doubt. They need to expose the sick psychology that drives Nationalism and the warped motives of those who promote it. They need to stop amplifying hate.
There is hope. Not that many years ago, casual racism and bigotry against people different to us was common and even celebrated. But attitudes change and these smug anti-English bigots too will be exposed, challenged and rejected. We will beat them.
