Mostly attacking Scotland and anywhere that isn't london. Shite.
Accents are a million so not a good way to divide.
Also whoever did this. Do you think Scot's sit around eating haggis all day drinking whiskey and playing the bagpipes ?
A child perhaps or London knob. Racist
Can you point to where the map hurt you?
It pokes fun at londoners just as much as northerners. In fact, id say it's crueller to the south west and Wales than anywhere.
Where does it poke fun at Londoners ? It's just stereotypes to most places.
Yes it's stereotypes.
The London stereotype here is where London is referenced: Funny accents. Suburban sprawl. Craft beer types Islam fundamentalists.
Funny accents is everywhere. Suburban sprawl. Everywhere.
Islam extremes.
Everywhere.
Yes, as are all the other traits. It's the stereotype or how common they are that is being poked fun at here.
Per your comparison, most of Scotland is not urban sprawl, even if it exists there.
Define Scotland. Largest populations will be urban scrawl. Glasgow Edinburgh, other
Lol, yes, but most of Scotland is not urban sprawl. Most of the southeast between London and Brighton is.
It says the landscape of Yorkshire, The Lake District, and The Dales is, post industrial.
Has this person never been outside of London? It just sounds like who doesn't actually know what they're talking about.
I like that you think the poster submitted original content.
Did you know that in London, there are people from the other regions of the UK and also from overseas. It's a mass generalisation. The map uses ellipses and circles.
Don't take it too seriously.
Of course. All while wearing kilts and tossing tree trunks.
I assumed the whole thing was designed to offend absolutely everyone.
I think it might not have been entirely serious, mate.
I think racist comments aren't meant to be serious. Doesn't change the outcome.
I grasp that but I don't find it amusing. It's just crap stereotypes.
Maybe try a bit harder next time. Something original. Maybe something about Scot's being tightfisted or shagging sheep. Something brand new
