What's with the anti Catholic rhetoric anyway?
Why does everything have to be about Northern Ireland, only the English think that way
Please read through the full thread and you will realise its about religion and to get back to the original post i.e. Scotland not interested in Royal Arrival
Yes most of us are i.e. the protestants but the Catholics are not!!!
You really have never travel or experienced Scotland have you
On the contrary, I've travelled extensively in Scotland.
It wasn't difficult - I was brought up in northern England and my grandmother was from and lived in Glasgow (Eglinton Street, if you want to consult your 'religious neighbourhoods' map) and my three eldest siblings spent three years of their childhood there. Also, I read books and newspapers.
Although personally an agnostic, my religious background would no doubt be the 'wrong' one as far as you're concerned - so all in all addressing me as your "Berkshire friend" is inappropriate on several counts...

Simple!!
The references to Northern Ireland are perfectly valid within the context of religious bigotry within the [nominally] Christian faith.

Really? Why all the UDA linksand songs at Rangers matchea for example, Orange Walks etc. I'm Scottish incidently, not Catholic and lived in Glasgow for years. I am not remotely interested in the birth of another brat into the disfunctional mess that is House Windsor.

And why should they? I couldn't tell you who the current Pope is
I suspect, with the exception of a handful of football thugs, the majority of the Scottish have the same, indifferent view of religion that most English people have. And the same indifference to the Monarchy to boot.
My apologies hen “to others Hen is a Scottish expression”
I wouldn’t say my telling is the cause of the problem in the west of Scotland, but the way you say that the likes of you i.e. the Protestants and not the Catholics are the problem in the west of Scotland says all about you!
I had no idea what religion you were so do not put words in my mouth. By 'likes of you' I meant bigoted.
I cannot abide the sectarianism as espoused by davehunter5 and his wee pal Monty.
It's a blight on modern Scotland, thankfully most of the population has relegated these ridiculous views to the past. Not all of us are stuck in 1690.

Sadly it still goes on till this day. Its the one and only thing I hate about the west of Scotland. A lot of people south of the border think there is an anti English problem up here, which couldn't be further from the truth, the biggest problem is sectarianism

Sadly it does. Although increasingly it's confined to the West of Scotland. I do think it's improving slowly.
Only half of Scotland cares about the newborn Princess.Every town in Scotland is more intersted in the upcoming election and tonight Boxing match and the latest football results and going to work.
Some girl in Forres said in a shop it more a day fir England too care about it good it a p rincess and all,but I have work too get on with.
I am not sure what you are on about really (BIB). But having just returned from my birthplace (Forres) a couple of weeks ago I have to say that Grant Park is looking as green and colourful as ever and the locals as friendly.
So, Adamsk, what were you doing in Forres?
I had no interest in the boxing or football matches and have now retired --- so no work. YEAH!

Its really pathetic, makes you wonder if they ever went to school at all, never mind where.
Hopefully the forward thinking and modern SNP will do away with the anachronism of Faith Schools in Scotland, the REAL cause of the continuation of sectarianism in the west of Scotland.
It's sheer madness In this day and age that I , as a non child owning tax payer, must contribute towards a mid sized town having TWO primary Schools [ to appease the Roman you-know whos ] when one big primary school would do.

Are the only divides in Scotland sectarian ones? Is there no other basis on which the Monarchy is supported or not?

Waste of my money.
If faith schools are the cause of sectarianism in the West of Scotland how do you explain the sectarianism of the protestants who go on Orange marches, sing sectarian songs, formerly banned Catholics from employment or promotion, have links with and support unionist terrorists in NI?

Millions across the UK do not care. Millions. It's not just some people in Scotland that aren't interested.
