Don't get me started on his stupid geopolitical views.
Long story short,
1)In his views, it means 'hypocritical'. Literally. English = hypocritical. Not 'stuck up' or 'snobbish' or anything vague you might associate with a national stereotype; it's a fucking synonym. We've learned not to talk to him about...well, any country, ever. Conspiracy theories are more balanced and well-rounded.

2)He said this to members of his blood family. Racial slurs against people who are nearasdammit exactly identical to you? Sure, why not? Not for the first time either.

I might call my sister Scottish later, just for the hell of it
I'm not sure what it would imply, but that's for her to work out

It would mean that she's drunk, fat and unemployable

And incomprehensible.
Or is that just Glaswegian?

As it happens, she just quoted Stewart Lee back at me
as there are, of course, no Scottish women

It's true you don't see many Scottish women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Scottish men.
_{(sotto voce) It's the beards.}
And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Scottish women, and that Scots just spring out of holes in the ground!
