North of Hadrians wall

Quote:
Scotland's former Auditor General Robert Black has questioned whether providing the current range of free public services can remain sustainable.

Decisions to offer free personal and nursing care and concessionary travel fares should be revisited, he said.

Mr Black said the cost of such services in Scotland had risen more than anyone had expected when they were introduced.

He went on to say there was an urgent need for reform, including fewer councils and other public bodies.

The Scottish government said it remained commited to the council tax freeze, free prescriptions, free bus travel and its public service reforms.

Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont signalled a major policy shift for her party last week by criticising the "something for nothing" society, and casting doubt on Labour's support for free university tuition, the council tax freeze and free NHS prescriptions.

You still heard wrong.

I know there are, but two wrongs don't make a right.

You use the term knowing it to be offensive, in order to provoke a reaction. That's not humour, it's racism.
Just in case you are that insensitive or ignorant, and haven't figured it's offensive, consider yourself informed.

Quote:

Not the same at all.
Brummie clearly doesn't find the word offensive, otherwise he'd hardly have used it as part of his nick.
Now had I called myself Jockistani cabby or sweaty sock, you could safely assume I had no problem with the words. You will note that I didn't do this.

I know a lot more who aren't called either and find it offensive.

I even know an Englishman called Rupert and another called Herbert, but I don't find the need to refer to your whole nation as a bunch of Ruperts or Herberts.
