Ok whose looking forward to this and any hibs link?
I may be off the pace here, but it seems to me that more and more people are viewing the FPTP system as unfair and undemocratic. I realise that Proportional Representation risks giving a platform to extremists (and quite possibly the Monster Raving Loonies), but do you think it would be a...
Curious to see how everyone's voting tomorrow. Straight In/Out answer.
Dear voting people of Britain, In case my facebook filter bubble isn't quite absolute, and some among you may still harbour uncertainties about tomorrow's referendum vote, please may I have your attention for two minutes: As a Swiss citizen, with first-hand experience of what it's like not to...

Who will pick up the cost of replacing our EU stamped passports and driving licenses, if we leave? I ask because my passport is due for renewal fairly soon, and I usually do so at the maximum 9 month period in advance. That might not be such a good idea, if we're all going to have to shell...
As a Muirhouse lad i find this story very sad indeed, Scottish Police are treating the fire as suspicious which started last night and took until early this morning before it was put out, the Church was closed down a few weeks ago and it didn't take long for the wee neds that are causing havoc in...
Struggling at Westminster just now before The Commons Select Commitee, I think he'll be tattered by everyone at the conclusion of this.
Too scary. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/379b84d8-3256-11e6-bda0-04585c31b153.html#axzz4BgrcL1By

Making an erse out of our Police force and now the NHS? http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/report-nhs-scotland-reveals-snp-6678677 The Torys fault once again or just bad scottish government?
I realise that some people would be happy with one or both, but it's an interesting conundrum for the rest of us. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/10/president-trump-brexit-which-worse-britain-votes-leave-hammer-blow-peace?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign...
The greatest sports personality of all time has passed away. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee RIP Muhammed Ali
I heard about this on the radio a while ago. This is good news, but there's a long way to go. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-36475166
Seems like Abdeslam has been grabbed. May his testicles be hit by hammers and his finger nails be pulled out slowly - Accidentally, of course.
Apparently another plane has gone missing. An Egyptian airline flying between Paris and Cairo, not looking good.
Too far in my opinion.
Anyone know anywhere to get cheap tickets for shows on Broadway? Going to New York in July and was looking to get tickets for the jersey boys. Had a look on Broadway.com and while the tickets are fairly reasonable I would still like to find them cheaper if anyone knows of anywhere online!
Anyone go tonight? Organised by Slaven with a vigil at the plaque and drinks in the Royal Oak afterwards. A fine socialist, internationalist, patriot, trade unionist and Hibby to boot. The current Ireland and his comrades 1916 legacy paved the way. God Bless.

What are people's thoughts on this fella? I see he is polling well ahead of competition, mental I know. This is what the BBC said, surmised: He's insulted Mexicans and Latinos. He's insulted Muslims.
Guy selling an accordion on Gumtree has put - " STRICTLY NO MORE TIME WASTERS AVAILABLE DUE TO TIME WASTER. IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION ON BUYING MY ITEMS AN PAYING PRICE QUOTED ON MY ADS THEN PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME REPLYING TO MANY EMAILS FROM SAME PERSON AN THEN DONT BUY AN ALL ALONG NEVER...
Is this the beginning of the end for the SNP? http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/13272/By-election-Ward-9---Almond-and-Earn?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Right, I'm sick of talking about Hibs. How's this one going to go? Looks like an SNP landslide all the way but I wonder if it'll pan out like that as May approaches. The Tories and Scottish Labour have been chipping away on taxes from either side of the argument for a while now. Is it having...
Now that the powers that be have rejected the landslide winning name for the new research vessel, can I suggest we name the ship "Democracy" as it's the only way we'll ever get to see it these days. (I'm referring to the name not the boat, BTW).
Remember the Michael Stewart adverts from last year ? I signed up and it has been a good deal. However I have now asked First Utility what happens after 30/06/2016 and have had no response apart from revert to our standard deal Has anyone who signed up tried to find out I there is a second...
Willie Rennie does my head in. Every time he speaks all he says is "Education" Also, I wish Ruth Davidson would stfu when others are talking. Sarah Smith should be showing her the yellow card - yet another poor referee. Just read some comments saying BBC are editing-in applause for Dugdale. If...
From BBC website - "Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik ..... upon his return to court to accuse the government of violating his human rights by holding him in isolation". FFS, I'm not a violent man but someone should have popped this guy at the get-go. If there wasn't such a tragic...
I was too young to vote to join the Common Market, but I'll be voting to remain in the EU. Here’s why: "What did the EU ever do for us?” Not much, apart from: providing 57% of our trade; structural funding to areas hit by industrial decline; clean beaches and rivers; cleaner air; lead...
Died today aged 57
Further issues uncovered at Oxgangs today, so all PPI schools closed Monday (and indefinitely), and parents are being advised to make childcare arrangements for the coming week: http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20074/schools/1423/school_closures...
Just announced that he died today, aged 57! WTF?
Can't see it posted elsewhere: died of cancer today. Sad news; I've always thought she was talented and seemed a good person. I think she satirised the British class system well, due to her superb observational abilities. It seems like an awful lot of celebrities have died in 2016.
How are these companies allowed to continue to operate? Sites like Seatwave, Viagogo, Getmein etc are providing an official avenue for ticket touts to utterly screw fans out of stupid amounts of money. Whilst they themselves act as a 'marketplace' for exchanges between people, they are...
Looks like this will be a huge story. 11.5m confidential documents alleging tax dodging on a global scale, by leaders and captains of industry from across the planet. At the moment, a lot of coverage in the UK press focussing on Putin and Iceland, but very little about the apparent 9000...
This has made me chuckle http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-35968787 In no way shape or form is this a racist image, and the image of an older GAP ad near the bottom proves it. Yet its still bein pulled :confused:
Farewell Mr Nice RIP
Nice to see a country celebrate their Independence. I went to Kilmainham Gaol a few years back, and was taken aback with the treatment of the people there. I went round with friends from Ireland, and nobody can fail to see the atrocity that the British state perpetrated on the inmates. It...
