Which would not be a hatred of the English in either case so I really need to read and see how you have arrived at what seems like an odd conclusion on the face of it.
Give me 5.
Right let's see then. I'll do this in real time. Paragraph by paragraph as I go through and look at the points made.
Paragraph 1. A complaint that some people who self-style themselves on experts on Scottish politics are far from it. I think this is a pretty unquestionable phenomenon - plenty of people who pontificate on Scottish politics rarely if ever set foot in the country and are therefore ignorant of the reality. He even mentions a specific individual. Whether that is fair comment or not on that person I don't know but it certainly can't be considered a slight on the English.
Paragraph 2. More of the same really. Although this time focused on the specific issue that was raised by yourself. The difference between wanting to leave the EU and wanting to leave the UK. So far nothing anti-English in the slightest.
Paragraph 3. Here he makes the point that the influence of the UK on Scotland is far greater than the influence of the EU. That bad policy from Westminster has a much greater impact on Scotland than bad policy from Brussels. So far the word England hasn't even been mentioned.
Paragraph 4. Quite a long bit summarising the relationship of Scotland with the UK. Some of the language is perhaps contentious - describing Scotland as a possession for example - but the point is not particularly arguable. Westminster trumps Edinburgh on everything and any powers that Scotland have are only there because Westminster allows it. The word English does appear here. However it would be hard to paint the phrase "We’ve got English votes for English laws, and English votes for Scottish laws too" as anti-English bigotry. Perhaps not quite correct in the details, but certainly not bigotry.
Paragraph 5. Solely devoted to the status of nations within the EU and nothing to do with England or the English.
Paragraph 6. A long piece on powers which the UK government have within Scotland. I think you could question his stance on some of these issues but not the underlying point that these are powers the UK government has that the EU would not. What you could not do is point to anything anti-English in there. Unless you think an attack on the BBC is an attack on the English but that would be a rather odd viewpoint.
Paragraph 7 simply repeats the point of #6.
Paragraph 8 is the same point with a bit of a go at the Tories. Again unless attacking Tory= attacking English then there's nothing there to object to.
Paragraph 9 makes a questionable point I think. That Scotland has less influence in the UK than it would in Europe. Nothing in the argument contains any bigotry however.
Paragraph 10 repeats the point with a possible snipe at Unionists. These Unionists are Scots though so would be hard to paint that as anti-English.
The final paragraph is a call to Scots to act and does not mention England or the English at all.
So, in summary, your accusations of anti-English bigotry appear to be laughable. Particularly from someone who has been railing for the UK to take back control from the EU.
If you think the above is bigotry then this kind of thing must blow your mind:
