Glaswegian Understatement

This guy (John Smeaton) is great, it's video of an interview with one of the Glasgow Airport workers involved with Saturday's security alert. Warning: some people might need subtitles :O)

About 20 secs in: "...the man then attacked the policeman, I thought 'That's not right'..."

Then about a minute and ten in: "...what's the score, y'know, we've got to go and get this sorted...'

They do not call their football team for no reason: "Rangers"

"Listen Rangers, tonights objective is this stadium. We go in first and flatten the other team. Our fans will silence the audience on all stands while we clean block for bloack and secure it. When the stadium is ours and the other team is no more and our fans hold all ground, we just need to flatten the referee and the two assistants anymore, then raise our flag, and then we are the last getting out. Rangers, ho!"

I like the way he refered to one of the bombers as "the gentleman". Bet he didn't use that phrase later, down the pub.
