    Well I wouldn't want anyone to think that you're perhaps suffering from prejudices of your own - like pigeonholing Brexiteers as racists.

    Boris has no principles. The other two do have principles inasmuch as any politician does.

    Even then, the views of those 3 are not the reason why the majority voted to leave.

    That’s the point.
    The word P**i has been weaponised by PC propaganda.
    If we as a nation weren’t secure we could take offence at Brit.
    But we don’t.
    IMO it’s just shortening of a name.
    There’s no malice in it.

    Me an all.

    I'm 77% Scandinavian
    19.9% Scots/Irish/Welsh
    3.1% English.

    Why do I always need the radiators on at full?

    Anyway, I'm glad you've turned up on this thread.

    How do you insult an Englishman?

    Not that you would of course, but there must be a few north of the border that you've shared a dram with, expressing a few ideas....

    You know damn well what the implications are when someone spouts the P word just as the N word .
    The fact your playing on words showing your true colours and trying to justify the unjustifiable is sickening tbh .
    Your a racist bigot a Tommy whatever his name is dolly boy .

    Thing is - vast majority of people calling others racist is all ballax.
    In most cases it’s just a way of one person trying to prove that they are better person by labelling someone a racist.
    Like I say - I’ve know many people in my live and I’ve only come across less than 5 people who I would say were racists.

    Was having this conversation the other day after I lovingly called my other half a bogtrotter. We couldn't actually think of a seriously derogatory term for someone english.

    There's nearly always malice in it. Everyone over the age of six knows p*ki is offensive and derogatory therefore choosing to use it is consciously being malicious/racist.

    Do you mean you could if you wanted to?

    How do you insult a Scotsman (apart from calling him an Englishman)?

    No. Can't think of any derogatory term to insult an Englishman. Not that I'd want to. A ***** is a ***** no matter his nationality.
    As for Scots I'd possibly pick on where he came from. I.e. Weegie but I'm never really abusive that way. Unless I talk about fans of other teams.

    Clearly yer can’t discuss things without the abuse.
    I’m surprised you haven’t been banned off here for throwing that type of abuse about.
    I know that if I had said the same to you - then I would have been banned off here.
