Battle of biscuits

-

Columnist Brian Wilson opened a can of worms – or should that be biscuit tin? – when he said Nationalis­ts who attacked Walker’s over a Union Flag tin are fanatics risking the Scottish economy.

I just hope Brian Wilson remembers to wrap himself in his precious “Butcher’s Apron” next time he attends a meeting of his branch of the wider Celtic family.

Get a life. The Scottish Flag is on the bloody tin of biscuits ... it is part of the Union Jack.

The true irony is that they get all hurt and upset when Holyrood gets referred to as the Shortbread Senate...

They aren’t advertisin­g Scottish shortbread, they are advertisin­g shortbread, and they are entitled to use whatever packaging they like

It’s quite frightenin­g how many people on here are happy to see Scottish identity being slowly stripped away, regardless of how trivial it may seem. These small changes soon mount up, so ultimately it’s anything but petty... it’s about saving our proud identity.

Exactly what part of Muppetland do you hail from? “They can take our lives but they will never take our... BISCUITS!” Stop making us look as petty and ridiculous as you and your cult-following buffoons.

I would like to see an end to all countries with a single human identity. All this is causing is so much anomosity amongst the peoples of the world.

I’m ashamed yet again to have Scotland Associated with these loons. It’s embarrassi­ng. This sort of stuff gets reported all over.

Identity is important to some people . I work throughout the UK and each region is very proud of its personal identity. Humans are tribal.
