Scotland and Wales: The Pretend UK Celtic Nations Anti-Racism Blog

                         How do we explain someone like Andy? Well, he likes the Celtic myth (a 1707 linguistic label from Welsh Nationalist Edward Lhuyd - not an ancient UK ethnicity) and all things 'saintly' and exclusive about three of the UK countries. Look after the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish (don't mention Darien, disproportionate activity by the Scots in the British Empire, the partitioning of Ireland by a Welsh PM with avid backing of Protestant Scots, the invention of the Poll Tax by Scotsman Douglas Mason and its implementation there in 1989 by its own Secretary of State, Wales as separate factions and kingdoms, not an ancient, unified nation) and pander to their one-side retellings of history.

Then he nips back to England and continues to ignore the fact that the Barnett Formula awards higher block grants to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, allowing free prescriptions for millionaires in those countries, while the most ethnically diverse country, England, which has no nat...

Nicola Sturgeon is the leader of Scotland, a (non) Celtic Nation. She believes that resources found off the shoreline of her part of the UK belong to HER country, and UK resources also belong to HER country, as part of the UK. She enjoys scoring points against the basically moribund English, and insists on 'Scots' not 'British' for her country's peoples - whether they like bagpipes or not. She thinks men are a 'problem', women are not, and is basically a Marxist Feminist and historical revisionist. She is the daughter of celebrated 1980s comedian Jimmy Krankie. Whoops, sorry, she LOOKS like the daughter of celebrated 1980s comedian Jimmy Krankie. Hello, good morning/afternoon/evening/night to all who have come here eager to discover what it means to be a Celt in today's UK, and what it means NOT to be a Celt in today's UK.
