Self-defeating zealot

-

NO matter how lovely the SNP might be, some supporters make them very hard to like.

I had a separatist zealot tell me this week that if I were ‘a true Scot’ I would write about business donations to the Tory Party.

Whenever your views do not align with those of the separatist­s, somehow you become less Scottish than them.

you don’t even need to scratch the surface of this ‘civic, joyous’ tartan nationalis­m. The poison bubbles out on its own.

And a zoomer was on Twitter saying he wanted ‘Scots to marry Scots’ to ‘keep Scotland as Scottish as possible’.

Nationalis­ts will always pretend that their version of nationalis­m is better than anyone else’s but, at its black heart, nationalis­m is all the same.
