Four year campaign

Amazing it took that long. I'm sure it will be another 4 year battle to get the Tories to agree in England.

As a member of the SNP I find that a Scotsman openly admitting their offended is not in line with our expectations.

If the Tories seriously voted down £120m for hungry schoolkids, I sadly can't see them going for this....

But they should.

Does anyone know why using the word 'scotch' is offensive in some settings?

It’s not offensive. But as pointed out earlier on the thread, it’s a useful signal about the people trying to get a rise out of it.
