As a result, it has been the subject of controversy, especially regarding Boris Johnson, who, as editor of The Spectator at the time, approved its publication. The Scotch – what a verminous race! Canny, pushy, chippy, they’re all over the place, Battening off us with false bonhomie, Polluting our stock, undermining our economy. Down with sandy hair and knobbly knees! Suppress the tartan dwarves and the Wee Frees! Ban the kilt, the skean-dhu and the sporran As provocatively, offensively foreign! It’s time Hadrian’s Wall was refortified To pen them in a ghetto on the other side. I would go further. The nation Deserves not merely isolation But comprehensive extermination. We must not flinch from a solution.'Bold text (I await legal prosecution.) (en)
