SNP MP flies the flag for England

A Nationalist MP has flown the St George's Cross from his Stornoway office to say thanks to English constituents who have voted SNP.

The gesture on Friday came on the last working day before St George's Day.

Angus MacNeil, MP for the Western Isles, said he was also flying the St George Cross flag as a 'mark of respect' to England.

He said: "I feel it is important that we as Scots recognise the achievements of our neighbours."

This will go some way to quashing the myth that all Scottish Nationalists are by definition anti-English.

Hope all our English friends have a good 'un on St George's Day. Smile

Seems to be a decent nationalist.
He did a good letter on economic growth in the Scotsman recently.

Yes, he's done a fantastic job since being elected. He's a good speaker as well. I would think the SNP will have a much better chance of winning the Holyrood seat because of his work.
