"Every summer, they fill up your beaches. They drink all your beer. They make a mess of your plazas," said the front page - which was reported as a hate crime.

I find The National frequently embarassing as a Scottish person. Enjoying seeing them squirm here.

    Every summer, they fill up your beaches. They drink all your beer. They make a mess of your plazas. They eat fried breakfasts all day instead of your wonderful food. They retire in your towns, and sponge off your public services. ¡Ni siquiera se molestan en aprender el idioma! [They don’t even bother to learn your language!]

    Do they think this doesn’t equally apply to Scots? Lol

    Speaking as an English man, I don’t have a problem with that front page. They’re not exactly lying, and it’s (mostly) in good humour.

      idk I think the anyone-but-England banter can be funny but this was pretty low-effort on their part
