I switched on Five Live earlier to hear very loud booing. I didn't know what was going on until the whistle went and I twigged it was supposed to be a minutes silence.

Seriously, regardless of your views on the monarchy, booing the death of a 96 year old who was never anything but glowing about Scotland. That's pretty low.

I said fool not tool.

Are the Welsh as bad as the Scots then when it comes to hating the monarchy?

Genuine question by the way.

I have no idea as I'm English

My late father however was a proud Scot who was in the Armed Forces for 20 years and was as British as they come, fighting for his country and the Crown

So stop with the sly comments i was just asking a fcuking question

I know your English it was a question because you live and work with the Welsh I thought you would have known them more?

And as for Sly comments?

You did ask me a question in your first reply had I counted all those booing so what’s that then? 🤷

Well done Dad by the way hats off to him. 👍

You started it with a loaded question.

You are surprised by this? Read your history or at least watch Braveheart!

Scotland has been at war for it's independence with predominantly the English Monarchy for a few hundred years and have been "owned" since then. There are hundreds and thousands of Scots that would happily be rid of England and it's Royal family!

And for balance there are also hundreds of thousands who have served in the Armed Forces

I know all the history Mac and yes I know what went on.

But times a healer she was a 96 year old mother, grand mother, great grand mother and she adored Scotland and the Scottish people.

I respect anyone’s views on her/the monarchy if you don’t like them fair enough but at the very least I would have expected one minute without any booing purely as a mark of respect for the dead.

Credit to Scotland deserved it 100%

But boy oh boy Ukraine weren’t a patch on the side that beat them earlier this summer in fact they were just terrible I’ve never seen a team give the ball away so much.
Well not since Rotherham anyway.

Thanks for making this point Macseasider as lots of people on this site seem ignorant of British history and English colonialism. It's not that the Scots 'hated' a 96 year old woman, they are booing the fact that she was the un-elected monarch of a country which wants its independence, financially, institutionally, legally, and culturally. Do Scots 'hate' the English, Welsh or Irish? Of course not and to suggest otherwise would be to reduce a centuries old desire for self-autonomy to a simplistic them and us argument. When Scotland, Wales and Ireland have full independence then the booing will stop, until then the complexity of the desire for independence will be reduced to the comfortable and simplistic one ("the Queen loved Scotland") we have seen on this site and elsewhere.
