Welcome to Scotland, you prick

Just watched a new party political broadcast by the SNP. It basically consisted of a haircut with a chin running through a lovely village and up a mountain, from which he shouted “Scotland”, while all the people who had cheered him along look on proudly. At the end, you hear his call reverberating around outside the Palace of Westminster, where a young (presumably) English couple look scared.

The merits of independence aside (let’s leave that for another day) this advert tells us a few things:

1. That the closest Scotland gets to a positive self image is basically Monarch of The Glen.
2. That our communities are close, caring and – above all – white.
3. That the English are bastards.

On that happy note, Alex Salmond goes on to explain why only the SNP can dig Scotland out of the economic disaster the UK Government has created, because Westminster is “constantly holding us back”.

HBOS, Alex. RBS.
