The Loch Ness Monster

[gordi]

Sorry mate but from where I'm standing its something completely different.

Most Scots living around Loch Ness are quite happy to see the tourists this evil myth brings in, in fact they rely on it for a living.

Its no British/English conspiracy at all and its certainly not designed to portray Scotland as some backwater.

Is paranoid Nat ramblings aimed at smearing those bastard British - for that read English - yet again.

The SNP should really concentrate on the thing the Scottish people elected them to do; govern the country and not promote utter bollocks like this.

@"Freeborn" - I have no idea what you're going on about here.
I think that you may have misinterpreted what I was saying?

I got the impression that you agreed with the premise that the Nessie legend is somehow deliberately maintained to portray Scotland as some sort of barren backwater and is an example of how the Scots are 'downtrodden' and subjugated by their English/British overlords - which is as we both know complete and utter bollocks. 

Maybe I misread both the article and/or your post.....it wouldn't be the first time.

Nessie is a part of Scottish folklore going back centuries, why can't people just leave it as that?

Where did I say anything even remotely like that?? smh
