The Scots 'Language' (Dialect)

Nicola Sturgeon: First Minister of a country of five million people. Scotland is obviously for Scots. You must speak the dialect, wrap yourself in the saltire and not consider yourself British. And yet Scotland voted to remain part of the UK. Go figure.

If you arrive in the UK and move to England - as the vast majority of immigrants do, even proportionally, you will not find people pushing local dialects down your throat in official announcements. In Scotland, of course, you do. There was Nicola Sturgeon just the other day telling 'Scots' (note, not very inclusive - not everybody in Scotland defines themselves as a 'Scot') to 'keep the heid'. Basically 'keep your head' - over C-19. This would be rather like an English person making an announcement on the news and going into Tyneside or Yorkshire dialect. Not all people in Scotland know or use its dialects (they're not languages - more about that in the not too distant future) and it's confusing to new arrivals.

But Nicola is obsessed with making Scotland like England and Wales, complete with its own language. Try Gaelic, dear!

This kind of pettiness, with clear underpinnings of jealousy, is typical of Scottish nationalists and Celtic fantasists alike. The two are inextricably linked.

The Scots dialect is a form of English, it resulted from Scotland's incursions into England and England's influence on Scotland - it's a much larger country, and trying to inflate it into a language in its own right is ridiculous.

Of course, in the PC 21st Century, a great deal of drivel is accepted from groups claiming 'oppression', but the Scots are not oppressed and never have been. And Ms Sturgeon's posturings and the ridiculous swathes of bilge on Wikipedia (not a good idea, that) do not change facts.

The Scots are the Scots. They do not need a fantasy history to prove that fact. They are also British. But there is a large cell of racism in that country and it is having a disproportionate affect on the politics of the UK, via the Barnett Formula, West Lothian Question, etc.

The largest and most ethnically diverse UK nation, England, suffers.

And still the 'wee' (bit of Middle English for you there) one up in Scotland rabbits on. (In my part of England 'wee' means the act of urinating - 'I'm going for a wee.')

And, although 'her country' voted to remain part of the UK, she shows not a shred of care for the rest of the nation - well, maybe a little for the fake white Celtic myth/nationalism supporters in Wales, but not much. She's still happy for Scotland to take more Barnett Formula than they do.

And she pretends that the English are the racist ones! Well, England has a problem with racism, as do all countries, but it doesn't claim its population - far more ethnically diverse than Scotland's - deserves free prescriptions for millionaires, and sod the rest of you!

The Irish Times on the Fake Celtic Cult of Ireland & Britain - & Historic 'Bling'

Image
The man who launched the UK's poisonous Celtic myth in 1707 - Edward Lhuyd. Yesterday, we were asked by an American plastic Celt why we negated the 'Celtic culture' of the UK? It was the same as negating the handed-down history of any tribe, she said. Actually not. The passing of time will blur things - and what has been handed down for generations will usually be slightly inaccurate at least - but still have a ring of truth.  However, the UK 'Celts' were not a tribe. They didn't exist until 1707 and since then this horrible fake 'thing' has become an industry and a way of practising racism. Which is how England, the largest and most multi-ethnic country of the UK, suffers the Barnett Formula (reviled by its own creator, the late Lord Joel Barnett), the West Lothian Question and asymmetric national devolution. By the way, the American plastic Celt began her conversation quite reasonably, she was, apparently, terribly excited about an American university ...

Alex Thomson, The UK Column And The Celtic Myth...

Image
                      British? No, no - they're Scots and Welsh only. And they're 'Celts' (so sayeth Alex Thomson of UK Column) - and such victims of the horrendous English. All fine tales built on ancient white race myths and Mel Gibson's 'CRY FREEDOM!' These fine Scottish and Welsh people had nothing to do with the British Empire! (I jest) Isn't it strange how the Celtic myth is so plainly a myth, and yet it infiltrates so much of UK life? Take the UK Column - an often interesting and rather alternative (no problem there) news site. Sadly, there is heavy 'Celtic' nonsense in the organisation, brought to bear by staff like Alex Thomson.  The whole venture is rather strangely organised anyway, with a complete non-questioning of the dreadful discrimination against every living soul in the largest and most multi-ethnic 'UK' country of all - via asymmetric national devolution, the Barnett Formula, the resurgent West Lothian Questi...

What Happens If You Challenge The Celtic Myth? And Why Does The UK Government Underfund England?

Image
The answer to the first question is simple. You get screamed at or lock-capped to death: ' DAILY MAIL READER!' 'ANTI-SCOTS!', 'YOU HATE SCOTLAND!', 'YOU'RE A RACIST!', etc, etc, etc. Be prepared. It's pathetic. After all, you're not the one claiming you're a descendent of a WHITE ethnicity when you are not, and claiming fake victimhood, and saying you deserve more of the essentials and the luxuries because you are a descendent of said white ethnicity. And everybody else can get stuffed. No, no, they're basically saying that. Projection comes so easy to many Scots Nats and most Celtic myth followers. I do find it amusing. So much anger... so much hate. And all because somebody believes they are owed far more than you simply because of a myth and historical revisionism. And downright bigotry. As the UK quaked and trembled (well, at least the majority of it) with fear at Covid-19, Nicola Sturgeon again demonstrated ...
