"I believe 'Woodsie' was responding to the comment:" The comment was in response to his original short post describing "Scottish wanker" and fellow "Scottish banker scum" so it is not surprising that someone questions his prejudices. Woodsie has since come back and explained that he is not anti-Scottish so I take that as being so. It is a case of if folk don't want to give the wrong impression then watch what you type. It works the other way too. If a Scot were to describe George Osbourne as a bastard then the worst he can be accused of is perhaps of using crude language - but if he calls him an English bastard then one would start to wonder if he was anti-English.
