Like I said, I realise some of them were just jokes, banter is what we do, but there is a genuine sense of hatred in that thread.

I don't get the whole thing about "what do you expect?", as though we should feel bad for leaving a union that takes away from us in return for sweet fuck all and being attached to a country full of people who hate us for spending our own taxes (which they actually believe are theirs) on things we want for our people. It's like slave owners lynching black people after slavery was abolished. Sorry for not appreciating your oppression enough.
