I don't think it's exactly that.
it's more that the Daily Record brigade blame England for the shortcomings of their own country. England makes a great scapegoat that way, but I bet we'd go the way of Zimbabwe if we got independence.

i think that changing the lyrics of your own national anthem to show that you hate the english
is a perfect example of hating england more than you respect your own country

Whereas teh English (and, technically, British) national anthem
has an official verse about hating the scots. Admittedly it's never used in public occasions, but it's still part of teh song.

i don't think that's the same thing at all, is it?
surely that just indicates that england used to be institutionally racist, which is pretty much a seperate thing entirely? although i guess it does mean that they used to hate the scottish at least as much as they respected their own country. it doesn't mean that they hated the scottish more than that though, as far as my calculator can work out.

to be fair, my racism calculator is a bit faulty.
i guess this is because it was made in *insert country of choice*

It's only really the rebellious ones who get a mention
And we don't say we hate them, just that they're going to get crushed.

Anybody
that reads the Daily Record deserves sympathy.

Don't think for a minute that we'll vote for independence. It's just that we are a bit left of Englandshire and hate the way the Labour Party have gone "Tory-lite."

Hence SNP.

Last thing we need is more parochial nonsense, though.

if we get independence, I'm fucked.
I'd be too scottish to live here, but I sound too english to go home.

GB is far more tolerant than the press try to infer.
