I'm no great supporter of UKIP or Mr. Farage. I don't mind Farage as a person and I think he's pretty good at calling the European Commission out on their so called democratic process - outside of that we agree on very little. However I couldn't help but feel apologetic for Mr. Farage as an angry mob of Scottish students entered what they considered 'meaningful debate' with Farage and his political party by shouting and screaming at him like a bunch of, well, students.
I'm all for a bit of aggressive political protest against those who hold this country to ransom both socially and economically - but what as Farage done to hurt these bunch? Sure he holds some views that are less than desirable in these socially liberal times but when this 'Anti-UKIP protest' hit the streets of Edinburgh they couldn't make their mind up on whether they wanted to actually enter this so called debate with UKIP or try to scare Farage from ever coming back to Scotland. I'd suggest the latter was their plan but from the look of these modern-day liberal type he won't be too worried about them in the future - a soft bunch if I'm honest.
Young activist, James Moohan, took to the BBC to play the victim card on his rabble and talk about this idea of debate and how Farage allegedly caused grave offense by calling one of Moohan's friends, 'sweetheart.' If this is the best argument that you have Moohan then I'd suggest crawling back into whatever Nationalistic cave you came from.
These people offer nothing to Scotland but one would hope they damage the Nationalist viewpoint in the country. This is the true face of the Scottish Nationalism. A venomous, angry, confused and bitter lot who maintain a strict diet of bigotry against the English and film screenings of the historical epic, Braveheart.
