The Daily Mail is not a reliable or trustworthy news source, please treat it as a right wing comic packed full of anti-europe, anti-immigration, xenophobic claptrap. It's the morning paper of a generation of colonial middle Englanders who'd love to see corporal punishment returned to our schools and anyone with the wrong coloured skin stopped and searched for, well, having the wrong colour of skin, or the wrong accent.
Here's Melanie Philips, one of the Mail's regulars, talking about Scotland and vilifying Scots for having the temerity to call a legal and planned referendum.
She bases this decision to have a referendum on the tired old "the Scots hate the English" trope. This person is way out of touch with the reasons why Scotland is deciding its future via the ballot box. Sadly she gets away with it unchallenged on non-UK current affairs programmes. If she were to try and pull this stunt off on a BBC broadcast such as Newsnight or Question Time, or on Sky News she'd be laughed out of the studio, even by English folks.
