i saw a great video of a Wegie eyewitness and have-a-go-hero on the BBC site earlier... along the lines of, "aye, well, we all just piled on and tried to get a few kicks and punches in until the police arrived to take him away"

I spent most of yesterday afternoon with a hangover watching weegie after weegie coming on news 24 and saying much the same thing. Fair play for stepping in to help though, but it was getting a bit comical after a while. They're stories got more and more out of hand as the day went on.

At the end of the day, what has this achieved? "You've bombed Glasgow? Where's that? Texas?...What? Scotland? Where the fuck is that?"

Honestly, it's like the RAF bombing Dushanbe. "You want us to bomb where? Dushanbe?...In Tajikistan?...Is that an actual country?"

Useless. They've provided Scottish people with 1) an excuse to moan 2) an excuse to take the piss out of each other and 3) an excuse to take the piss out some incompetant twats who didn't realise that a Smart car would have got through the doors no bother.

And it was all a very convenient day to bury this: Scotsman.com News - Scotland - Treasury to scrap £20bn 'subsidy' from Westminster. Let me thank you, SNP voters...

what's that got to do with voting snp? you can't seriously be blaming the snp for a labour policy are you? also scotland isn't subsidised by £20 bn, that's a lie. to acheive that figure unionists use tricks like this: BBC NEWS | Scotland | Massive spending error revealed

they count some things in scotland but not in england.

still, it'd be funny if it happened. yet another way for labour to shoot themselves in the foot in scotland.

“Suicide Bomber?”

“Aye , that wull be right”

“Haud this fag tae a put the boot intae this bam!”

"John Smeaton doesn’t need a miracle in order to split the ocean. He just walks in and the water gets the fuck out of the way."

Apparently, the IRA had a string of similar failures before they managed to get things going.
