I think it is foolish to think that UKIP voters are a bunch of stupid violent yobs

they are attracting very varied voters from all different social and economical backgrounds

CBA to RTFT, but YABU to post a Daily Mysogynist-we-earn-money-for-every-click link.

One of my Scottish mates reacted badly when I referred to him as a Scotch type. Mind you, he didn't like my comment of "nice skirt" when he wore his kilt.

The Galloway it's ok to like :o

George Galloway makes me feel proud to be an Englishwoman

Shouty horse man is a real honey, isn't he Confused Grin

Scottish Nancy, not Scotch. Are you being goady or are you merely ignorant? The next time you start a thread do try and get your facts straight from the outset, and that way other posters won't challenge you.

Oh - and I'm English. I happen to live in Scotland.

kungfupannda · 03/03/2015 08:06

Well done Newcastle. I'm proud to be a Geordie, whatever else I may be.

I'm rather entertained by the 'blue skies, like the eyes of our women' comment. I better pack my bags and present myself for deportation then...

SlaggyIsland · 03/03/2015 09:36

It's Scottish not Scotch. I'm not an egg.

SunnyBaudelaire · 03/03/2015 09:40

" Now stop being such a chippy Scotch person, Sirchenjin, there's a good girl"

Stop it Nancy you give the rest of us English a bad name. Surely you know that only eggs and whisky are 'Scotch'?

Morelikeguidelines · 03/03/2015 09:51

The facial tattoos are a nice touch.

Ohfourfoxache · 03/03/2015 09:55

Cba to look at the whole English /Scottish/ British thing.

But I do have what is probably a rather ignorant question.

Looking at the Pegida photographs, they seem to be overwhelmingly male.

Looking at the anti Pegida photographs, there seems to be a good smattering of female faces in the crowd.

Now, I don't want to make this into a sexist issue, but surely ignorance isn't limited to one sex. Why is it that there are so many more females on one side as opposed to the other?

Sorry that this sounds like a ridiculous question but I'm genuinely curious as to why there are such differences?

SunnyBaudelaire · 03/03/2015 09:57

well maybe you should be arsed, it is not a really complicated you know.

SunnyBaudelaire · 03/03/2015 10:00

I presume you are English as only English people use English and British interchangeably.
Right so that means you come from 'England'.

In addition in the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", we have 'Scottish' 'Welsh'and 'Irish' people.

So you can be 'British' yet not 'English'!

There now that was not too hard was it?

merrymouse · 03/03/2015 10:04

I have no idea whether UKIP are connected. However, the daily mail have clearly implied a connection (however mischievously) by sticking a piece about UKIP to the bottom of the article.

Ohfourfoxache · 03/03/2015 10:07

Was that directed at me, Sunny?

minkGrundy · 03/03/2015 11:34

ohfour that is actually quite an interesting question. I wonder if it is (correctly it would seem) assumed that the pegida side are more likely to be violent so women avoid the public/active part of it. Although you will note there is one English flag draped lovely there.

I'd also surmise a link with football violence. (Admittedly based largely on appearance) Mostly a male preserve. Indeed some of them are almost certainly there for the rammy not the politics.

NurseNancyatToyHospital · 03/03/2015 14:49

Seriously, was my comment deleted because I said Scotch rather than Scottish?!

SoonToBeMrsB · 03/03/2015 15:00

I didn't see your comment Nancy but for the record, I fucking hate being called "Scotch".

rimskykorsakovscorset · 03/03/2015 15:42

Good lord, Pegida don't appear to have a full head of teeth between them. They really are cuties.........

Does anyone know if there's an anti Pegida rally planned for Edinburgh?

NurseNancyatToyHospital · 03/03/2015 15:48

Exactly, rimsky!

Might possibly have been deleted for being goady?

LividofLondinium · 03/03/2015 18:43

Oooh, the Pegidas look like a lovely bunch of degree-level educated, analytical thinkers don't they. I might go on the next demo and try and find myself a husband. The horse whisperer has a certain je ne sais quoi which I find rather titillating Wink

BeyondRepair · 03/03/2015 18:51

Op is being sarcastic about George Galloway surely? Remembering also his cat performance on CBB?

The Pegida rally in Edinburgh "failed to happen"
Naebody from their side showed up!
Maybe they are all English after all.

Meanwhile Glasgow held an anti racism rally.
