I've noticed the hatred & contempt spewing out of the press for the white working class man. Hickey in the Scottish Daily Express calls us "neds", an expression akin to "nigger" or "kike". He even says we should be given some kind of chemical to stop us having sons who will grow up to be "neds" like their fathers.
The hatespeak is having an effect on people. The young lads in Glenalmond public school in Perthshire (£23,000 per pupil) made a movie with a camcorder called "hunt a ned", which was shown on the internet. It has a working class "ned" in a shell suit being persued by Glenalmond's scions of the rich, who simulated beating him to the ground with heavy sticks.
In Edinburugh Robert McNeill of the Scotsman said he won't travel on city buses in case he meets a working class "ned", so he uses taxis. McNeill made his own original contribution to the mass of hatespeak against white workers by calling our sons "nedlings".
Can you imagine the uproar if they castigated "niggers/niglings" or "kikes/kikelings"? I fancy Trevor Phillips of the CRE would wail "racism" - but to insult white workers as "neds/nedlings" is OK it would seem.
