#2waysScotlandIsDifferent

#nationalism - in #scotland, this is a normal part of normal politics - south of the border, #englishNationalism is a part of the far right, a dangerous delusion fostered by unpleasant people like little #tommyRobinson with thuggish & ignorant followers.

#language - like #ireland & #wales, #scotland has an officially recognised #celtic language; #england suppresses theirs and only one survives as an oddity - nobody communicates daily in Kernewek even in Cornwall
#inward migration - #scotland suffered depopulation ever since #highlandClearances - you find #scots everywhere you find #irish emigres. Modern #scotland welcomes newcomers as an asset where #england resents those from elsewhere. Hence #brexit was rejected
