As jeffbr states, look at the policies of the SNP before unfairly categorising them. Scotland just voted in equal marriage for same-sex couples with the First Minister of Scotland, and leader of the SNP, strongly in favour.

I don't agree. I think the Scottish Nationlist's are racist towards the English, and they're happy to incite hatred in the electorate by raising the spectre of the Evil English raping and pillaging it's way through Scotland.
