Just use of language rather than chips on shoulders! As I said if I described Boris Johnston and George Osbourne as bastards then people might think I am anti-Tory. If I described them as English bastards then people may also think I am also anti-English. As i'm not, and as I wouldn't wish to give that impression, then I wouldn't describe them in that way. Seems common sense to me. Megan seems to have got the impression that the poster has an issue with Scots and because of the use of language in the original post it is easy to see why she came to that conclusion! I've alreay said if he says he hasn't then he hasn't. But it just goes to show how the language you choose to use can give a fale impression.
