I tend to read it as “they do not speak for me”. If you don’t speak up, then many people believe you agree with them, by default.
By apologising, you are saying you actively disagree, but don’t want to get bogged down in the details. You might not stand directly with the victims, but you do stand beside them, against the abusers, and want them to know.
On behalf of Scotland, I’m so sorry my home country spawned such hateful trash.
You had me look it up as I had assumed she was English, and learned that her mother was of French and Scottish descent…
I’d like to join in the apology, from the other side of the channel. It sucks that the Auld Alliance’s legacy is tainted by this terf piece of shit.
You’re not responsible for awful people who happen to have been born on the same plot of dirt as you (as an American, I really need this to be true)
But what about my jokes and ability to do black and white generalisations?

Bro, I’m American. I have no room to judge Scotland. I feel you, dude.
to be fair jk isnt even scottish
I just checked. You’re right! The bitch is English! Scotland is still better than England!
it all makes sense that she’s nothing more than a coloniser
It still makes me uncomfortable how many people see her in a positive light here
I genuinely think my father thinks about her when he knocks one out.
