Scots who feel this way are welcome with open arms in Ireland.

And ultimately Scots are Irish by origin. Search google for Dal
Riada/Dal Riata and the Battle of Donnichen

Quite probably.

The last -anti-immigrant- bit is crap.

far more likely to be left wing 'Post Modernists' who most certainly
would NOT welcome a Nazi invasion.

You're better off ignoring trolls, especially ones like this who use
made up, unresearched and unsupported "facts" to substantiate their
wrong-ness.
