In Time Out this week (Time Out is a London listings magazine), McLaren, who use to be the manager of the Sex Pistols, said this:

"I've just come back from the most horrible place on Earth called Scotland. I visited Culloden having read all about it in history books, but got stuck in a fishing village with a bunch of bigoted, inbred, intolerant, dull and mentally deficient Scottish people. It remains the most dour and miserable part of my imagination."

I wonder why McLaren, who doesn't usually slag people off because of the nationality, should express such strong views? Any suggestions?
