Bishop Briggs Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-38004836 "The UK's worst area for homophobic, sexist and racist tweets is East Ayrshire, a study has claimed. Twitter users in East Ayrshire and Midlothian posted more racists comments than anywhere else in the UK. Dundee topped the table for homophobic tweets, a ranking it shared with Denbighshire, Wales." "Scotland showed the most widespread level of homophobic language..." What a nice country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Is this a BritNat response to the "what a nice country" thread Peppino Impastato made about the UK? Not surprising, given the poster is one of the most vociferous UK nationalists on the forum (who, oh yeah, always claims to believe in Scottish Independence, as evidenced by his wealth of, sadly invisible, posts and arguments in defence of it...).

Ira Gaines Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Pretty much every part of the UK, including in Scotland, has a fairly decent percentage of absolute arseholes. Didn't even realise this was worth debating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still using the old "shoot the messenger" shite! Presumably, you are not bothered by the homophobia, racist and sexist tweets either. You'll be blaming it all on Brexit as usual. Unfortunately that is blown away by this part - "Over four years, researchers looked at speech across topics including racial intolerance, misogyny, masculinity construct and homophobia."

welshbairn Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Looks like they didn't check Bath. Quote Nearly half a million (456,000) transphobic tweets were posted and were most prevalent in Denbighshire and Dundee.Read more at: https://inews.co.uk/essentials/news/technology/twitter-trolls-post-racist-homophobic-abuse-likely-hail-scotland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 What a depressing time. It's no huge surprise that we still have bigotry of this level surrounding us but it's still fucking depressing. Shallow, ignorant people who somehow are easily offended by others skin colour, gender and sexuality. Why can't you just get on with your wee pishy lives and leave others alone? But no, the last 18 months or so has encouraged and celebrated division, racism, xenophobia, homophobia and misogyny. And United got relegated.......but at least that was deserved.

mrcat1990 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 From my experiences in Ayrshire I can't say I'm surprised. My workmate who resides in Kilbirnie informed me of her locals regulars referring to black players on the tv as "darkies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But the fact that you are trying to associate those that are religious adherents with lgbt people, women, immigrants, racial minorities and others who are discriminated against because of who they are rather than who choose to be show an incredible ignorance.
