Scottish pupils will be taught the Loch Ness monster is anti-Scottish because its legend was a creation of the British class system that portrayed Scotland as 'primitive'

Except Nessie was educated in the best universities.

How many tourists does Loch Ness get?

Pinkos have got to be the most dour, sour, and unpleasant wretches on the face of the planet — and obsessed with making children suffer for their own misery.

[Big Red Badger]

“BraveHeart” has been on
My Rotation lately.
.
“FREEDOM!”

[Big Red Badger]

You said what I was thinking, Brudda.

[Mogger]

Anybody ask the monster what it thinks of this?

And then there's "Champ" in Lake Champlain.

Well, Scottish school kids, you probably already thought that school sucks. It does. It’s about to get worse.

[cdcdawg]

I have to admit, I passed through there decades ago, and had to wait for a train. Having a couple of beers looking out over the water, you just can’t help but stare and wonder. I had no idea that I was participating in the “British class system” by doing so.

[Skywise]

I hate this timeline.

More Marxist “you can’t have fun in life” indoctrination.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Entrepreneurs moved the London Bridge to Lake Havasu, Arizona. Now they can move Nessie to Lake Havasu too.

Americans would never let a good money making gimmick like the Loch Ness Monster slip away. Shame on the so-called "thrifty" Scots.

Ach, loan me quid until Wednesday and I’ll gi’ye some haggis.

Thank goodness! I thought only America’s academic system was ruled over by drooling idiots. I’m glad to see we’re not the only one

[SunkenCiv]

The remarkable transparently stupid claims about Nessie come in a 17-page social studies lesson plan to help secondary school teachers teach what the monster’s portrayal in films says about Scotland’s image and how it affects ‘wider contemporary topics, such as the Independence Referendum’./

I think their battle cry is "That's not funny!"

And Heavens to Murgatroyd, no one may enjoy themselves.

I was in Inverness in 2005. I asked a ~80 year old local if he believed in the Loch Ness Monster. His response…

“It depends on how much whiskey I’ve drunk!”

Classic!

[escapefromboston]

Wow I hope you realized how classist you were and go back and apologize to the Scots.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The Sassenach could never do half as good a job of disparaging and embarrassing the Scots as their own blessed officials.

And then there's "Champ" in Lake Champlain.

Several years ago, while walking on the shore of Lake Champlain, I heard the splash of a large animal jumping into the lake, but I couldn't see what it was, as it was behind some bushes. By the time I got to the site, it had vanished.

I assumed the animal was a seal, but my sister-in-law's father, a local resident, told me that there are no seals in the lake. So it might have been Champ.

Is nothing sacred?
