"Scots" Cannot Be A National Language of Scotland

According to the Scottish Government, 'Scots' - a dialect spoken in parts of Lowland Scotland - is now a language. And all the nationalistic Little Scotlanders have 'corrected' Wikipedia. They can't bear England and Wales to have something they don't. It's like spoilt children. When you took a look at Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, above. you can see the angry, bumptious, intimidating attitude which prevails all too clearly.

Small attitude. Small country. Not a good advertisement for Scotland - and not one endorsed by many Scots.

Of course, Scots Nats and some plastic Scots born abroad - desperate for lovely, rosy coloured myths of their 'homeland' (Braveheart - ahem!) - love it. The 'Woke' also flock to it. Dear little oppressed Scotland! Higher funding, far better democratic representation, a vote on whether to stay in the UK, then the right to continue swaggering and belly-aching when the vote is 'Yes'... But oppressed.

Gaelic was the language of Scotland - and is a fascinating language indeed. "Scots" is an English dialect really - like Yorkshire. Or could we jiggle it?

For a start, if 'Scots' is a language, it cannot be called 'Scots' - because it's not spread across the whole of Scotland. English is, of course, spread across the whole of England. This pricks the 'Scots' nationalistic, jingoistic bubble a little, but 'Scots' could be called 'Southern Lowlands language' perhaps - with the Highlands having a 'Northern Highlands language'?

The links of 'Scots' to England and historic Northumberland in particular? Forget it! 'Wee' is middle English and is a colloquialism for the act of urinating in some parts of England, but the Scots must have their way - logic out the window!

Of course, the UK has many dialects. But if you're going to claim 'Scots' is a language ('Aye' is an English word, by the way. Ever been to the North of England? It's even used down south!) then it cannot be a national language, because it's not used nationally. A lot of it is English, or derived from English, and it cannot be called 'Scots' because most Scots don't use it. 

It's not national.

Hope that's clear...

Scotland shows its insecurity and pettiness with this kind of illogical nonsense, nothing else.

Brick by brick, Scotland is becoming a madhouse - bursting with 'woke' mentality (England and Wales are the same on that score), fake victimhood (Wales has a dose of that too), jingoism (they were, of course, disproportionately active in colonising during the British Empire), historic revisionism, anti-English rhetoric, jealousy, and exclusivity - while pretending to love the world. But not their nearest neighbours.

And the Barnett Formula, the West Lothian Question and asymmetric national devolution...

A country of five million - an ever more jingoistic and deranged elite amongst its numbers - in a UK nation of how many?

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 ...
