CyberNat comment of the day

Further to my thoughts on the planned new livery for Scotland's trains, a shorter version of which I had posted to the relevant Scotsman thread, here is a delightful comment from a CyberNat calling himself Statsman:
AM2 is a unionist brownosing troll. If he loves England so much, he should move there. Traitor.
I am reminded of Winnie Ewing’s characterisation, in her speech at the 2003 SNP Bannockburn rally, of the unionist parties as the “enemies of Scotland”, “traitors within the gate” and only “claiming to be Scottish”.

Her disgraceful remarks still feature on the SNP's website.

As George Robertson said in 1995:
The SNP publicly stands back from these extremists, but the fact is that the fringe exists and feeds on the rhetoric and prejudices of some prominent nationalists in public life. The use of 'traitors' and 'Uncle Toms' by the SNP top brass undoubtedly fuels the crazy fringe.
