Boris Johnson has announced that if Russian State intervention in the suspected attack on the two Russians is established, England’s representation in the World Cup will be in doubt. “Mr Johnson said that if it emerged Russia was linked to the incident in Salisbury "it would be very difficult to...
Anyone else have these problems? My old man is from the old brigade who thinks pull yourself together is the answer. Never used to be like this and time in the army hasn't helped. However, I'm not afraid to admit things and feel no stigma in being affected by this. Just wondering if other...
It's another terrible human tragedy, but what does the Holy Ground think about the situation?
The Daily Mail and Express will be creaming themselves. Another Royal baby and that on St George's day. I'll be avoiding the UK news for a few weeks now.
Scottish labour ! A sinking ship in Scottish politics... How do they try to rectify this?... They hire Charlie Mann as director of communications... The same guy who was Vladimir Romanov's PR man!
This was posted on my FB wall. The astute among you will have noticed that I declined to become involved in most of the hand wringing and wailing yesterday. I'm not going to start today, but I did realise yesterday that there is a need to clear the air. I don't have many friends who voted...
Anyone else think that this government announcement has been hastily dreamt up to deflect from the Windrush catastophy? Bunch of cynical ****ers!
If your car has a stop/start engine and you’re at a set of traffic lights with your handbrake on, can you legally use your phone? Someone in my work got done doing it, he’s no complaints and I would say he should have been, but we did wonder if technically he shouldn’t have been?
It's international fact checking day! And to celebrate, fact checking site the ferret has collated their results from the past year. https://theferret.scot/ferret-fact-service-fact-checking-numbers/ Scottish Tories: By comparison, the SNP (Scot Labour results were broadly similar).
10 dead and 15 injured after a van drives into pedestrians in Toronto. What the **** is wrong with these people.
Looking for some advice. I have a Belgian friend looking to come to Scotland for a couple of nights to do hiking/ wild camping. I don’t know much about this...anyone got any advice.... He has asked about best destination to do this, mentioning the Cairngorms...? Any advice welcome
£32 million for content that is 50% regurgitated? Seems an incredible waste of money for a 'new' tv channel! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-43837258
Good to see that pressure is building up against the NRA. It's good to see some companies starting to take a stance against this organisation. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43268446 When I hear anything from the NRA, I'm lost for words. How gullible are the American public to...
Surprised this hasn't attracted any comment given the obvious parallels. It all looks very messy atm. How do we see this ending up?
So I will stop hi-jacking other threads I think this topic deserves it's own thread as this is the cult shaping the modern world. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/fd1bf610-2212-46e3-82b0-d2c7d78f0abd Just to kick It off.
Died of a heart attack this evening. Whatever next.
This is from an independent journalist instead of the department of propaganda otherwise known as the BBC... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8HRcISVwYM
I got this link from a story in the Scotsman. http://images.is.ed.ac.uk/luna/servlet/view/search;JSESSIONID=7f2dc91e-6985-47c2-828f-5c1d0179ac21?submit_search=Search&q=Coll-1583&QuickSearchA=QuickSearchA&pgs=100&res=2 There are some really fantatstic photos. ...
Wee Nicky doesnt know if she's coming or going just now . We need a referendum because were being dragged out of the EU #castironmandate Now she's not even sure an independent Scotland will join the EU :rolleyes: The General Election is not about independence says Nicola The general...
Anyone seen the video utter scandalous would be terrible if this fell into the papers hands, I can't figure out how to post it
Shocking news. A 78 year old man arerested for allegedly murdering one of two men who broke into his house and attacked him with a screwdriver. The old man has the nerve to stab one of the assailant who was half his age. Deserves a lengthy jail sentence ..... or a VC, IMO. I trust there will be...
Why has this story appeared? It's a total non-story, but it seems to me that it's designed to make sure that as many euro-sceptics as possible don't vote Labour. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32566522
The Alex Salmond Show on RT. Yuk ! :greengrin https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/nov/09/alex-salmond-to-host-talkshow-for-russian-broadcaster
I decided not to post this in the Leadership thread as that contest is all but over. Corbyn will be declared winner by a huge margin. So what does the future hold for Labour? What with the exposure of Momentum promised by Channel 4 Dispatches already to be viewed tomorrow night, Panorama will...
How the **** is/was John Humphrys worth between £600,000 and £649,000 a year as a radio presenter? I've just seen a BBC news report also stating that Sarah Montague was unhappy because she was only being paid £133,000 a year - way below her male counterparts. She has said she felt her pay...
As reported on front page of tomorrow's Observer. Interesting if true.
It's just not right. It's been raining here steadily for hours and hours. My driveway is a lake and I've never seen the garden with so many puddles. I just looked at the forecast for Edinburgh as I'm coming up for the game tomorrow and it's horrible. It's April, FFS!
WTF is going on. 56 murder investigations this year alone. Anyone know how many there are in Scotland for this period? Edit: 61 for the whole of the stat year 2016/17 https://beta.gov.scot/publications/homicide-scotland-2016-17-9781788512367/ Something seriously wrong in London at the moment...
Anyone a member? Is it worth the money. I'm in London but in Edinburgh quite a bit on business these days. So I'd use the venues down south much more but not exclusively. Interesting selection of single cask on their shop but doesn't say which distilleries.
I've been in San Fran for a week now. It's my fourth time visiting, what is a marvellous city. It's a proper melting pot of cultures, and harbours all sorts of art, culture, cuisine and excellent things to see and do. I love this city, and I love visiting it. But deary me, the homeless...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-43611527 In a developed European country in 2018 how is this allowed to happen? It doesn't read like a tiny minority either, it appears in certain areas this is a sizable number of children and families. I've had to tighten the belt in the last few months with...
Edinburgh council are introducing a £25 a year charge to pick up your brown garden waste bin I see. Apparently 67,000 will opt out so where are they going to put their waste? Dump it somewhere no doubt. My local councillor (Labour) blaming the Scottish Government for cutting the council...
As it says. Genius.
A friend just bought tickets for Joan Baez concert and has just been ripped off by Viagogo. £20 booking fee/ ticket. Hidden charges till the end. Appears their website is set up to con the unsuspecting buyer. Be warned!!!!!! Please spread the word. It's the only way to beat traders of this ilk.
Well, it's almost here!! The unbelievable is about to happen tomorrow. I wonder how it's all going to pan out. Whatever happens, it's going to be a roller coaster. Hold on................ https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

10g of sugar per 100ml to be reduced to 5g. Folk are in uprour!!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43596854 Sad day RIP.
Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust is fined £2million over safety breaches. What good does this fine actually serve? Taking £2m from an NHS trust that is already massively underfunded seems counter productive to me.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-42574651 He's sure about that? :bitchy:
