no it was because we were watching the news wondering why people were fucking up the place where they live and some work.
everyone i know here was thinking "what the fuck are those fucking idiots doing ?"
the last time i remember ANYTHING even remotely resembling this in Scotland was the Poll Tax Riots.. and even at that they were just protests that got.. animated shall we say.. no shit was wrecked or looted in those riots.. people just kicked off against the police
From what I saw of the UK riots it was bunch of spoilt brats cheerfully participating in vandalism, looting, mugging, and arson.
THERE WERE NO.. REPEAT NO RIOTS IN SCOTLAND..NONE, ZILCH..NADA,ZERO...NOTHING
this "UK" riots nonsense truly grips my shit to be frank.
They were an English situation and the only Scottish connection was we sent down 300 odd police officer to help and that was it. UK RIOTS MY FUCKING ACHING ASS don't tar us with the same brush.. Scotland had absolutely fuck all involvement

Bathgate ! ROFL!
I am in Edinburgh just off the Royal mile so i am well covered, bear in mind though that the new fibre cabs are all down to bt installing them in the street
Luckily the new cabinet is 2 doors up from my door so i will be able to get some uber speeds.
i remember reading somewhere that Dundee was getting some operator lobbing fibre through the sewers somewhere...... and from what i know of Dundee does that mean just in the streets coz it's a shite hole?!:P
i take it you are in the highlands or Islands bud?
Just FYI, Sky Broadband uses the same infrastructure as BT Broadband (both use BT OpenReach cabling). If you find BT laggy at peak times, you'll find Sky just the same.
kinda but not always.. if Sky do not have their own equipment in the exchange then it's BT equipment all the way.. if Sky have their own equipment in the exchange then they just "rent" the BT line to the exchange and then you're onto their network.
You are spot on however on sky having dire support though
What has become increasingly common here in the UK is local loop unbundling. With local loop unbundling BT openreach* owns the physical line but the provider can operate their own ADSL gear. Afaict lines can be unbundled for just ADSL or for ADSL and voice (not sure if they can be unbundled for voice only or for ADSL and voice to different providers). LLU allows providers to avoid the high costs of using BTs ADSL backend network but comes at a price in that. So there are only a handful of LLU providers of which SKY and O2/BE (O2 bought BE but they still operate services under the BE name as we as their own) seem to be regarded as the best.
There are also many BT wholesale based providers but due to the way BT prices access to their backend network these tend to be expensive, congested or both.
* Part of BT but kept somewhat seperate from BTs other operations by the regulator.
Not any more bud.... my ISP http://www.bethere.co.uk/ is now going to roll out VDSL(fibre to the cabinet) to it's customers. otherwise you are absolutely spot on with the situation apart from sky, their support of horrible..BE's support is stunningly good, free phone and 24/7. i have friends who are with them who are leaving due to their terrible support and coming over to bethere who do not throttle,shape and are truly unlimited.
Bethere (and no i don't work for them) are taking registrations now for the fibre at https://www.bethere.co.uk/web/beportal/fibre
with adsl/adsl2+ it's LLU but with FTTC Ofcom call it Virtual Unbundled Local Access(VULA and BT Openreach have named it GEA (Generic Ethernet Access).. same shit.. different label
Well Nebraska isn't recognised as a nation state as Scotland IS under the Articles of the union is it?
would you like me to draw you a diagram of where you can shove your Venn diagram?:P
The people from the republic of Ireland are also classed as living in the "british isles" would you DARE to call them "british"?.. i think the torrent of abuse you would get from them as a reply would tell you their opinion of it
i would not expect this to make sense to you as your head is shoved so firmly up your own anus you are wearing your sphincter as a necklace and thus blinded to things outside your own wee mind
and finally as we say here in Scotland GIRFUY:-)
English law applies in Wales and England...Northern Irish Law applies in Northern Ireland and Scottish law in Scotland......
there are no uk wide police forces, there is no "british police service"
on a personal level i am Scottish not british and the reflection of Scottish society in the recent election here would suggest that most Scots feel the same with the landslide majority the Scottish Nationalist party gained there.. a whopping 69 seats which the electoral system was designed to NOT let happen....
The drift towards more and more Scots wanting that independence will happen due to the utter allergy and contempt that the Scots hold the conservative party in westminster, all the tories have to do is keep doing the thinsg they are doing and the referendum in 2014 will be a breeze and then.....this wish to apply "british " as an overly used and overly broad term for anything from these islands will be at an and.
Also Mr Hatta as a point to note the Scottish National Party is a party of civic nationalists, just added that as a thought when looking at your sig...
they are also bound by the fatc that Scottish Law, Irish Law and the laws in England and Wales are different........
they may be "british" by the fact they are geographically located in the "british isles" but apart from that and most especially with the very separate and distinct Systems of law in Scotland and Wales you would find that the London Met computer crimes unit would have had to ask permission to go up there to Shetland..... be taken there by the local police and in fact have a LOT of paperwork to take someone from Scottish jurisdiction to English jurisdiction.
it's a kind of extradition due to those two very separate legal systems, that difference is guaranteed under the act of the union as is Scotland's nation status
you do realise that there is no "UK legal system"?
England ad Wales and subject to one legal system, nothern Ireland another and Scotland yet another again
the English legal system is far more likely to grant extradition orders to the US, Scotland however is much less likely... however seeing as the laddie is in England...roll the dice... the thing is though what he did does not break the law in england.Wales,Ireland or Scotland.
just more bullshit from the IAA's... the cocks
more people than you reckon read manifestos. when we were knocking doors e handed them out to each person then on the subsequent follow up visits 80% of people would ask questions based on what they read within it
don't assume people are as lazy as you when it comes to political matters. the reason they were the best choice is simple, unlike the westminster based parties they only have Scotland's best interests at heart.. Also on the door steps and living rooms we were ALWAYS asked about independence and when the referendum would be.. to which the answer was 2014.. the 700th anniversary if Bannockburn and people liked that idea.
Also in waiting that little while it give the tories and lib-dems time to show how things will just get worse under the union and also fro the SNP to fully prepare an effective campaign.
The SNP took MASSES of life long labour voters and also masses of lin dem voters and this while Alex Salmond(leader of the SNP) was on TV talking about independence on BBC's Question time and other programs. EVERYONE and their dog knows the SNP's raison d'etre is independence.
Also your point about tuition fees don't even apply in Scotland... we don't have college/university fees and never will, thus making your point about the lib dem about turn on tuition fees in England and Wales less than a moot point and rendering your analysis defunct.
The plain simple fact is that the lib dems signed their own political death warrant in Scotland because the simply teamed up to put the tories back in power, something Scotland finds repugnant after thatcher fucked over Scotland in the 80's. Labour have abused the electorate by taking the position that they have some kind of god gien right to get elected in Scotland and keep their snouts in the trough of the expenses. They have been consistantly caught, as have the tories and lib dems claiming false expenses.. NEVER has there been any of those problems with the SNP. Whe Wendy Alexander(former Scottish labour leader) played silly buggers with her expenses for her election as leader of the party was caught out it led to hr losing what little credibility she has left.
Both Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon used their own personal money and didn't take donation or redirect money from dodgy committees and constituency funds for their campaigns. simply put the SNP is the only party in Scotland that doesn't NOT have a tarnished reputation and doesn't answer to westminster bosses, their only concern is Scotland and the people of Scotland's well-being and future.
Also i could indeed call you a unionist or at least someone taking a unionist stance do to their lack of actual knowledge of the Scottish political scene and the political history of Scotland.
Just because you may live here doesn't mean you know what the score is here bud.... simple as that
so ah'll dae and spraff whit ah wahnt tae yah radge:P
Saor Alba!
mine one eyed? you are having a laugh!..LOL
there is much more to Scotlandf than just oil and gas but LOOK at the McCronre report, not my words but the words of a westminster economist who stated "Scotland would be in an embarrassing surplus it it became independent"
The politics of the SNP government in Edinburgh have been distinct for quite some time. Not a peep comes from Alex Salmond's lips without some underhand comment about Westminster being to blame or holding us back. The task in the UK is to balance the budget. Scotland as an independent nation would never have been able to bale out the banks - regardless of what ideas you peddle as the "truth".
Aye said like a true quisling that actually hasn't read the genuine facts of the case.. http://www.oilofscotland.org/ go on actually take a look!
he financial "shit" in Scotland can easily be traced back to our two big banks fighting it out to take over NatWest.
erm.. no it can be traced back to that walking turd gordon brown and his perpetual deregulation of the banking system... twinned with similar madness accross the Atlantic with bush's deregulation of their banking system and the trade in toxic assets amongst many other factors, and btw we have more than 3 banks here, the Clydesdale also has a charter to mint/print as well....
but to try and pin the financial crisis on England is simply ridiculous.
who said anything about blaming the english or england??? the fault lies in westminster.. you presume too much sir.
We are stronger as a whole. I'm British, Scottish and Aberdonian. Don't bother questioning my loyalty to any of those. But perhaps because I live and work outside Scotland gives me a broader outlook.
nd yeah i would question loyalty to Scotland most certainly....especially as how you live and work outside it. I am 41, and have lived and worked outside Scotland however only about 40% of the time each year and i ALWAYS come back home, so yeah i would question it entirely...
I am Scottish NOT british with absolutely no compromise on that and come 2014 we will see how wrong you are.. mind you.. you are not even here to see how the wind blows politically at ground level.
As a nation, we seem to pick England as the enemy for anything we choose.
well you got one but right.. we ARE a nation however there is a difference between England and westminster you know. i happen to be a civi nationalist as are the SNP so it's not about hating anyone it's about wanting the best for your country and in this instance this means independence first ad foremost.. hence the upcoming referendum.
but to try and pin the financial crisis on England is simply ridiculous.
was that the word "independence" was tabooed by the SNP for months before the election.
that is utter bullshit! the word independence is in their manifesto, it was mentioned plenty on TV and on the street. i as actively campaigning for them here in Edinburgh.
it's absolutely STUNNING how much bollocks your average unionist is prepared to talk at times!"
By the accepted usage, Scotland (England, Wales, etc) is not a nation. The nation is the United Kingdom.
WRONG.. very very wrong.. i suggest you read up on the4 articles of the union bud.. this is why Scotland has it's own legal system and is recognised as a nation in it's own right on that very document
Last I checked, independence had support of about 20% of the Scottish population. Seems quite unlikely that the majority will vote for independence. Given that Scotland gets a lot of money from the rest of Britain, only balanced out by North Sea oil, which is running out, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a lot more support in England than Scotland.
Personally, I'd like to see independence for Greater London. The rest of us would be a lot better off without it.
well 69 seats and a whopping historic landslide victory at the last elections kinda takes a huge dump on your 20% number.
we'll see when 2014 comes along And as for north Sea oil running out... sorry but that's crap.. take a look at http://www.oilofscotland.org/ for some simple truths on that.. also have have massive reserves off the west coast and have a large stake on the Rockall claim.. so erm.. kinda blows yer paltry arguments out the water.
oh and as for your poll... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1535193/Britain-wants-UK-break-up-poll-shows.html
also remember that those morons at the telegraphs said that in 2009 support for the sNP and independence was at an all time low..... then they win an hostoric election victory against the odds of the single transferable voting system that was specifically designed so that no single party had a majority?
Then there's the McCrone report which was done and kept secret as it showed that Scotland would be "embarrassingly in surplus if independent with one of the strongest currencies in Europe"
there is much more besides however i would imagine a lazy tool such as yourself would rather live in that blissful ignorance you seem to be so fond of, as many south of the border are.
Also a lot of the oil in OUR territorial waters are marked as "extra regio territories" to mask the actual oil income as "not Scottish"..
have a look at oilofscotland.org and maybe you might learn something about teh fact SCOTLAND IS IN SURPLUS and t's the "uk2 that's dragging us into financial shit.. plain simple fact.. however you would rather just call us "porridge wogs" which just futher demostrates how truly ignorance you are.. sad wee Sasainach eh?
LOL@ AC.. mind you, at least he knows his facts(the AC that is)
gaun yersel!..lol i voted SNP and have done all my voting life and it was amazing to see the results role in that night.. i stayed up all night it was just amazing!
Back in college, I had a friend in an undergrad pre-med program who was doing some sort of work in the local hospital. He actually told me, unsolicited, that if I was interested in a girl he'd look her up to see if she had any STDs (I never took him up on the offer). He also wasn't shy about pointing out who had what whenever he spotted people in public. At the time, I just thought it was creepy but I wonder if that was illegal 15 years ago?
i would imagine the fact that pretty much everywhere medical files are labelled "Medical in confidence" would suggest that yes it was very much breaking the rules... certainly always has been here in Scotland anyways

and btw if you read the big lie by Niall Aslen who is a forensic accountant and by far more qualified than either me or you to comment you might just see the facts... he clearly demonstrates how Scotland is fucked over by westminster. also Scotland natural resources are FAR from just the North sea West of Shetland AND Rockall immediately spring to mind
And when independence comes we'll also have the 6000square miles of our territorial water back thanks
i'd take a long hard loo at your ex-pat self before opening your mouth and letting your belly rumble again.. check that ACTUAL FACTS first

chrisq.. keep on believing that delusion..lol
.. sad wee Sasainach eh?
Scotland when taken as separate from the UK is actually in surplus you muppet
Scotland contributes more than DOUBLE what it gets back from the union.. some fucking union dividend eh?
i think you'll fidn tat per capita london gets most spent on it, followed by northern Ireland followed by Scotland.
mind you westminster takes ALL OUR OIL AND GAS REVENUE and we get a pittance back.
the money that whisky sales generate is also quite astonishing and contrary to popular belief most of it goes to export.
I would hazard a guess Andrew Hughes Hallet knows more about economics that you in your blissful ignorance
Then there's the McCrone report which was done and kept secret as it showed that Scotland would be "embarrassingly in surplus if independent with one of the strongest currencies in Europe"
