just remarking on their hypocrisy in moving here, availing themselves of the benefits fought for by Alex Salmond and his government,

What is there to misinterpret about that statement? My mate, as I have repeatedly stated, worked hard, paid his dues and saved his money to be able to retire to a place he loves and supported for many years. He owes nothing to Salmond or any politician. How is he a hypocrite? Why should he not be able to vote in whatever manner he likes without being subject to judgement from strangers who do not even know him?

Rhetorical questions of course. We all know damn well that you are happy to judge people that you have not even met...
