In all seriousness what happened to Northern Scots during the highland clearances and other subsequent events was tantamount to genocide carried out by the good old British Empire. Now it leaves the anomaly of a lot of these areas being very pro-Union.

We have pro-union sheep?. :huh:

Anything intelligent to add to the debate .. or same old?

The word teuchter like the h word has a derogotive background depending on which dictionar definition you choose to use, but has adapted different less offensive meanings over the years. Why are you so for the use of the h word when it's derogatory meaning has been pointed out to you time and time again,but opposed to the use of teuchter? Your argument quite simply reeks of hypocrisy. As I have said the h word does personally not offended me in the slightest as I am regularly called it by my friends from the dark side. but I understand the reasons why it has been banned . This has been. My argument all along and frankly it is boring me to tears now , move on dhense.

I think everyone is entitled to free education and well worth every effort.

Do you see the lengths you have to go to just for a simple, simple concept to enter their heads?
