More chance of FCB selling up and RAFA staying.

I take it that's a football reference? If it is, I can't stand "fitba" so it goes over my head.
Why is it, for a supposedly "communitarian/collective" country we Scot's generally suck at team sports..... Back to politics: Tory tensions over keeping the UK intact by Glenn Campbell, Chief political correspondent, BBC Scotland. Quote:

The core is quite true, but what many seem either to ignore or simply don't know is that Scotland's own social elite has to bear a great deal, if not most, of the blame. The majority of the rapaciousness inflicted on Scotland's population was for the most part carried out by that part of society. When you look back, it's pretty obvious that the wealthy did very well out of the Union and the Empire. The poor, who made up the majority of the Scottish population at that time (the Upper and Middle classes were tiny in comparison with England) rather less so. To give an example, Scottish engineering firms, particularly those engaged in building railway equipment, always submitted lower bids for contracts than their English competitors. They could do this as they simply didn't pay their "company servants" (to use the terminology of the time) as much as the firms in England did for the same work. Hence you had so much economic migration from Scotland to England. If the English ruling elites can be blamed for anything, it's simply not paying closer attention to the ticking time bomb that their Scottish allies were inadvertantly priming. Mike.

Bloody disgrace but what do you expect from a raging anti-semite steptoe allowing one of his mob back in.

Hardly surprising when you take into consideration the fact he is a personal friend and supporter of Steptoe.
