@BorderSolution_ @indy_swim Scotland have never got to the knockouts. They do support them in the group stage though.

@indy_swim England, Wales and Northern Ireland fans have never failed to support Scotland when they got to the knock outs 🤷‍♂️

Did Pedro Sanchez encourage Portugal fans to support Spain? Did Macron encourage Germans to support France? No So why should we support another country?

@mehdirhasan There was no anti muslim terror, but there was a gathering of 12000 terrorists, a gathering banned in many muslim countries because it leads to terrorism. @elonmusk is also correct.

Nothing to see here, just the world’s richest man & top Republican donor promoting racist AI slop from the UK’s most infamous far-right thug, who he also happens to fund. Oh & on the same day as this news about right-wing, anti-Muslim terror in the UK: bbc.com/news/articles/…

@JackWDart Where did she encourage anyone to murder anyone? Do you not have a basic understanding of the english language?

You encouraged people to murder people in a hotel they didn’t choose to be in. You haven’t a leg to stand on. I’m with Dan on this.

@ZackPolanski Yes, some communities are scared, the british communities who you are helping dump the worlds scum on. But those communities dont matter to you.

Islamophobia rarely gets a mention yet some communities are scared. Those who are serious about tackling racism must oppose all hate crime and take the appropriate action to prevent it. Silence and inaction is unacceptable.

@MothinAli One of the largest gathering of terrorists, that Muslim states have banned because they know the truth. Had a drone fly overhead to have a look see. You're really grasping at straws.

One of the largest gatherings of Muslims targeted by far right terrorists and we have close to radio silence... The media, politicians from across the board, pundits... all seem to be taking a minimalist approach... This is how institutional Islamophobia works.

@ScottieB7777 @jeojo77 @MsMelChen More like a local derby between Manchester City and Oldham Athletic.

@DM_SPJ7878 @jeojo77 @MsMelChen It's like a local derby between Scotland and England, but England are the much better team and get all the praise, that's all it is, nothing to take too seriously. And it is a rivalry, it's the oldest football rivalry in the world, there's a depth of tradition in it

Okay, this might stir up a hornet’s nest… At first, I thought Scotland’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 habit of cheering for whoever England plays - even Argentina - was just banter. But now I’m not so sure. It feels like it runs much deeper. What I find truly intriguing is how some Scottish nationalists blame English identity (and often the English people collectively) for British colonialism, while painting Scotland as its very first victim. Yet many Scots were enthusiastic participants in the empire, often serving as key figures in its ruling elite. After the 1707 Union, Scotland’s educated middle class, military tradition, and economic pressures pushed many talented Scots into imperial service. They excelled in law, engineering, medicine, and administration. Scots comprised roughly one-third of colonial governors-general in the later Victorian/Edwardian era. They were disproportionately represented in colonial governance, the military, and civil service, making up a significant portion of governors, administrators, and officials relative to Scotland’s population. Scots were prominent as governors in the Carribean, India, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and African colonies. They also dominated roles in the East India Company and later imperial services. Rather than acknowledging Scotland’s active role, the narrative often shifts to claims of “internalised Anglo-phobia” or some sort of Stockholm syndrome. It’s as if Scotland was forced into complicity like Django Unchained’s ‘Stephen,’ the loyal house slave who sides with the master. The reality seems simpler. Scotland fought bravely, eventually lost, joined the winning side, and then did rather well out of the arrangement - certainly better than most of the world’s colonized peoples. Am I wrong?

@jeojo77 @MsMelChen We're not rivals in football, Germany is englands rival, Scotland doesn't even register.

It’s just banter, You are overthinking it. We are rivals in football and other sports. It happens within Scotland between Celtic and Rangers supporters. The Majority of rational Scottish people don’t hate the English people at all. Do we cheer on who you play. Yes we do. Do we want you to win the World Cup. No we don’t, but not because of hate or any underlying political reasons. It’s purely because every tournament commentators never stop talking about 1966. Also I would point out that when England do lose the English media crucify the players that have done no wrong.

@DavidCockerham @afneil The nazis were not getting in to england.

@afneil There was no cost to keeping the Nazis out of England until we declared war on them. Iranian Islamism is an even greater threat to the world than was Nazism. You think Trump should have just left it alone to continue preparing for our destruction?

There was no cost to keeping the Strait open until Trump’s War with Iran resulted in it being closed!

@zarahsultana No, the real enemy of the working class is traitors like you and the labour party. These illegal immigrants are part of the problem, endorsed by people like you.

This evening Labour has chosen to scapegoat refugees instead of confronting the real causes of Britain’s crises: the super-rich and the powerful who continue to profit while everyone else keeps paying the price. The Immigration and Asylum Bill chips away at rights protected by the Refugee Convention and the ECHR, punishes people seeking safety, and repeats the Tories’ failed politics of the hostile environment and performative cruelty. The real enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not in a migrant dinghy. I will vote against this Bill.

@Keir_Starmer But you will tolerate attacks by the muslim community on the British people. 2 tier keir, worst PM we have ever had.

Shocking news that Counter Terrorism Police are investigating a credible, serious threat targeted at an Islamic event in Suffolk. Thanks to the quick action taken by police and the organisers, nobody was hurt. My message is clear: I will not tolerate any attacks on our Muslim communities, or any form of anti-Muslim hatred.

@zarahsultana Are you ever going to do some work for your constituency? Which is in Coventry, UK, not Gaza. You're a traitor and need kicking out of parliament

What about the genocidal Israeli Defence Forces?

@TheScotlandView @Richie03107928 They were the invaders, they could have just left

@Richie03107928 Are Argentinians worth less?

Done a lot of reading on the Falkland Islands war in the last 48 hours Britain set up an exclusion zone and murdered 323 Argentines illegally. It was also Thatcher in charge and the USA told her to leave it. She ignored. Fuck Thatcher. Fuck England. Vamos Argentina!!!

@border_scottish @LHP_CEO Neither Scotland or its people are sovereign. Pressie, Bavaria were sovereign nations far more recently.

@LHP_CEO Scotland IS a sovereign state by virtue of its people being sovereign it just happens to have been annexed and colonised. Think of it like a monarch and every single family member being in exile but still actually living in the country they rule

Ask yourself this....why is scotland already a country? If you accept this why is it not running all it's own affairs in its own parliament ? Why is scotland a colony ?

@MikeyTheBuddie Kind of does if there's nobody else there. Let's also not forget that Argentina itself is a colonial nation.

Fun fact. Colonialism is cunty. Simply jabbing a flag in something doesn’t make it yours.

@carolinepenman5 Its british waters and british fishermen, however of over 130 applications only 2 scots applied (due to most BFT being off cornwall) and didn't meet the criteria. The boats that passed on merit were put into a blind ballot. Take your grievance elsewhere & do some research first

So Scottishfishermen are denied the right to fish Tuna in our waters but its old for English fishermen to get a licence to catch them in Scottish waters and you wonder why we think we'd be a lot better as an Independent country Independence ASAP

@MikeyTheBuddie How many scots alive today lost friends/ kin during their lives to this 700 year ago fight for independence? Now compare to how many are alive today who lost friends/kin to the argies. Completely daft comparison from you. Support who you want, but we know the anglophobic bigots

Remember this Scotland; if you buy an England shirt, you’re a cunt. Many Scots died fighting for Scottish independence. Keith Sutton rolled over. He’s not a good man.

@Douglas_Haribo @The_Mighty_S The claim of right has nothing to do with the joining of the 2 nations, if you had read the claim of right you would know this.

@The_Mighty_S @DM_SPJ7878 The ToU was never enacted as prescibed. Legal union was impossible and England knew that, not least because the Claim of Right was added by the Scottish Parliament, as a condition of union to Article to 25.

Alf Baird offers few fundamentals of colonial rule, applicable to Scotland:

@The_Mighty_S @Douglas_Haribo Scotland is not in a union, the union was an action, not the outcome, which was to create a new country What articles exactly do you think england has broken? No, Scotland does not have the right to dissolve a non existent union.

@DM_SPJ7878 @Douglas_Haribo If Scotland is in fact actually in a 'Union', then do you agree that England have broken nearly every Article agreed to and that Scotland has the right to dissolve the Union?

@IndieAnalogue @AlanShanks4 @timfarron @RickHJohnston Northumbria was an anglo saxon kingdom, may have been angles, but the whole lot, angles, saxons, jutes often just get called saxons for ease.

@DM_SPJ7878 @AlanShanks4 @timfarron @RickHJohnston It was actually Angles, not Saxons, who invaded Goddodin. That lasted 47 whole years until they got spanked at Dun Nechtain.

I'll be supporting NORWAY ... our near neighbour who doesn't OWN us ,steal our resources, impose their monarchy or block our sovereignty. Its only a game,but its hard to forget some things.
