Be patient till the last.
Notice she didnt mention giving up her Dundee marmalade? There are limits after all!
Alex Salmond is a fish-eyed mong, to be fair.
There is a very vocal group of Americans that scare the SHIT out of me. You guys can laugh at the wackos over here, but I have to live with them.. or with their political clout anyway. These are the idiots who think Sarah Palin would make a great president, they think there's a section in the health bill that calls for death panels, they are automatically against any reform Glenn Beck tells them they should be against. They have power, and they're not afraid to get jiggy with it. You can't tell them anything, you can't point out their mistakes in a rational manner.
I haven't been watching the news, so I have no idea what all this boycott Scotland business is aboot, but I'm sure it's just one more embarrassing thing about my country. WE'RE DOOOOMED.
There are diffrences if you look at them.
Mostly party platform stuff probably, but still.
I would not call public health care a "minor issue".

And I bet she's keeping that shortbread coming.
They gave a good grilling to the deputy windbag with the eyebrows on C4 News a minute ago, what's her name again?
NOTE: While most emails have thus far been very supportive, whether they be from Americans, British citizens, and many others, there have been a few British and Scottish individuals who have sent threatening and extremely defamatory messages towards American relatives and friends of the Lockerbie victims.
Lest there be any doubt, this boycott is not aimed against the people of Scotland or the United Kingdom, but against the governments of Scotland and Britain. The unfortunate reality is that initiating boycotts against the tourism, banking, and oil industries of a particular country are necessary in order to force that government to listen and understand and admit their error.
The influence of British Petroleum in this entire charade has been well known and discussed quite often, most especially in the United Kingdom. But thus far the British and Scottish legislatures have refused to take any action or admit that such commercial interests have taken precedence, rather than such dubious claims of "compassion."
To those brave souls in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom who stand against the corruption of their politicians and are willing to stand with us in protecting the memories and legacy of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103, your support is graciously appreciated.
Why Are There No Letters of Condemnation?
[SIZE=+1]Although the great majority of letters we receive are supportive, there are also the inevitable letters of criticism and condemnation.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Some Scottish and British respondents ask why we do not print such letters?[/SIZE]

[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Quite simply, because most of them display the most foul and disgusting language directed against the American families and friends of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103, as well as towards the people of the United States in general.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]In addition, we have received numerous death threats from self-proclaimed Scottish nationalists. Two individuals involved with this campaign have relatives in Scotland, which only reveals the absurdity of such appalling behavior.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Boycotting is a legitimate and peaceful form of protest against governments. This campaign has been initiated by several American relatives and friends of the Lockerbie victims. The fact that there has been a severe lack of empathy and civility from critical and opposing respondents has caused us to refuse to tarnish the memories of our loved ones by printing their abominations.
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]To those who would condemn us for daring to speak out on the behalf of those murdered by the released terrorist, whose own voices can no longer be heard, instead of sharing your indignation with us, perhaps your time would best be served condemning those in your respective governments who sold your interests out in the name of oil and big business.[/SIZE]
