yes, that was one idiot who said about england being britain. The truth is that scotland is the most racist pert of britain. I am english, and moved to scotland when i was 3. I was ignores and bullied throughout primary school. Now that i am 14, i still get it sometimes. During the world cup, people in scotland were being beaten leading to hospital, just for wearing a #n england top. THAT is racist. Also, the only reason that scotland are against england in football is that they are terrible. They're just jealous that we can actually play, and the fact that they are arrogant pigs (generally speaking) means that they choose to be against us rather than back their neighbours.
The film: i thought it was really good. if anyone saw the documentary on skyone, that would show how truthful the film was.
p.s. my cousin plays preston, the butcher

It's not racist, it's nationalist.
Secondly, if you've lived in Scotland since you were three theres NO WAY you have an english accent now and considering your forenamde is Scottish and your Surname is Icelandic/Dansk the only way you'd be considered English is if you went around promoting the fact.
Of course if you live in Glasgow/Dundee/Edinburgh/Aberdeen/christ, any city in Scotland you'll have some idiot starting on you for wearing an England shirt. What do you expect. I guarantee there are just as many idiots in Wales/England that would have the same reaction over a Scotland shirt, so before you go making blind accusations make sure you aren't being "racist" yourself.
You're 14 years old. You don't have the life experience to be making claims about an entire country's 'Foreign Policy' yet.
P.S. The film isn't going to win any oscars. I laughed at a few moments, but I have to admit that at least 80 percent of these were slapstick. Bear in mind though that it cost 5m to make. That's less than Bill Pullman gets paid for the majority of films he acts in so let's appreciate that he obviously saw something good in this film too. It's not terribly deep, but it's nice that it gives an insight into what the two supposed hoaxers actually tried to pull off. It's not going to stay with me forever, but I've seen countless worse films.

Was he called cameron_richardson when you replied to him. Because "Richardson" is an English surname taken from the name "Richard" which was brought to the British Isles by the Normans. The "-son" element is influenced by Norse though as the native form was "-ing".
I would say there is a racist component in Scots Nationalism to be fair. Hence Borderers are being brainwashed into becoming a Non-Anglic people despite their origin being Northumbrian. Hence their language has been renamed "Scots" rather than "Inglis", they are told that the Northern English of Northumberland are a different ethnic group when they are largely the same. And the Scots Establishment is even trying to make Gaelic the language of all of Scotland, including the Anglic Lowlands and Nordic Orkney and Shetland (which they forced to speak Inglis when that was the fashion). And you should see how many Scotsmen are disgusted and try to cover up that certain Clans (Clan Donalds, McDougals, McLeods et cetera) are Norse-Gaelic and not just Gaelic.
Though this can be compared to the British Establishment's efforts to connect the English and England to the ancient Brythons (who they prefer ti call "British") and Romans while completrly ignoring the original English, or "Anglo-Saxons" as they are called (whereas Brythons are of course "the British") who are percieved as "filthy NAZI foreigners". I am not sure why the British Establishment is against (or pretends to be against) the BNP when both groups have the same moronic, racist ideas anyway.

I'm English and I thought this film was rubbish. Boring & tiresome to be precise. Where was the comedy?
