Slow news day?

Hmmmm...why not report on the prediction that hundreds of banks are expected to fail following the announcement that three more banks were shut down last Friday?

Of course, that's not entertainment is it?

He was labeled as a terrorist by the gov't * If you feel thats a credible enough source then hey more power to ya ... But judging by ur name o.O ur just as sick of the dumb fucks in office as me, u should know that half the people the federal gov't goes after are innocent people being used as cover ups.....

Maybe all I have is my suffering, my regret.

And I don't intend to lose it.

Why so you Scottish can have that too? the heart that mourns those LOckerbie victims. Those who you burned to a cinder!

Ahhhhh but this American knows that you did! I know!

You Scots feel nothing. You Scots regret nothing.

If that's all I have to learn, I can do that on my own.

Wlkepedia's 100 greatest Brits...Sir Arthur Fleming, John Logie Baird, Sir William Wallace, Alexander Graham Bell, Robert the Bruce, James Watt,James Clek Maxwell,David Livingston..to name a few. Telegraph co. uk Britain's top walks..Elie Chain Walk, Fife as second from top???

What really bugs me is that when Europe is trying to break down barriers and bring nations closer together - you independence people want to isolate yourselves. You'll be about as influential in the world as Albania

I have nothing but respect for all the lads in the BRITISH army, wherever they're from. They believe we're all in this together and I think it's a cheap shot to bring them into it. If Scotland was independent - you couldn't afford to send troops anyway.

Perhaps you might like to whinge about the lack of sticking together to Scottish troops who are out in Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm sure they would be delighted to hear what some of their supposed "fellow Brits" think about them.

As for those voting things, is that like when you get those 100 greatest Brits, or 10 best British countryside walks or 10 best British Hotels when Scotland, Wales and NI never get a look in?

I support independence, I don't have anything against England or anywhere else.

I never mentioned football. I just said sporting events etc. It was the same when Michelle McManus won Pop Idol. She won because you voted en masse for her because she's a Scot - not on talent. You're all up your own bums and full of your own importance.

We're a UNITED Kingdom and all of us are British. You'd expect your fellow Brits to stick together. You lot just moan and knock the English all the time.

It's tedious.

Like I said, your independence can't come quick enough - good riddance.

[globaltraveller]

Aw grow some cojones please. There is no boycott. And if people are blaming anyone apart from the politicians who make the decisions then they are even more stupid than they get credit for.

We're certainly not going to run our country worrying about what some right wing Yanks from Fox News think about things. If England wants to, and act like a coward, then it can.

And don't give me the whole football bullshit thanks. I'm not English so why should I be compelled to support England?

[englishsinger]

Because of your stupid Scottish parliament and Scottish politicians, the rest of us in the UK, English, Welsh and Northern Irish are blamed too. Some Americans are threatening to boycott the UK and the BRITISH government have been dragged into it.

You Scottish are always moaning about how badly off you are and never support England in sporting events etc. You'd rather support a foreign country.

You are the irrelevance and the sooner you get independence the better. We really don't want you.

[globaltraveller]

Sorry but when did anyone blame anyone let alone the English? Here's a quote from Kenny MacAskill, the Scottish Justice Minister

"I took the decision to release him. I stand by that decision and I will live with the conequences"

Nope, can't see any reference there, can you?

Grow up. England is increasingly irrelevant to Scotland and the rest of the world. Deal with it.

[suprodupro]

Discusting done by the Scottish government.

Most of the UK families of those who died on the fight believe him to be innocent. Look up statements by John Swyres the British family spokesman. just last night he was on uk tv saying megrahi was innocent.
