Did the police ever catch up with those two dodgy blokes that grabbed a Hibs kid after the cup final?

Aye, the press reporting of the budget has been quite the sight to behold. Not even a pretence at neutrality anymore.

OK thanks, I see where I went wrong - I though you meant an increase in tax of 3% in comparison to your salary.

How have you managed to get a 3% rise when the maximum put on any band was 1%? eta - hmm, I guess it is possible if you are in the >£150K band eta2 - no, I was right - just under a 1% increase in tax is the maximum possible (measured against salary)

Cutting the tories off at the knees If he's abolished charitable status for private schools as seemed to be implied so much the better.

Absolute fucking sack of rats, the lot of them

Just think of all the unionist political refugees moving to Scotland

Perhaps ANOTHER billion pounds might placate the DUP.

Looks like Flynn has been flipped. I imagine Kushner will be the next in line.

Has anyone offered up the suggestion that she may need the money to settle the defamation action against her from Wings over Scotland? The thought that she is actually having to eat bugs to atone for her slander has a certain karmic balance to it.

It may also cut down on binge drinking and help prevent people becoming alcoholics in the first place.

It may work, or it may not. At least now we have the chance to find out one way or the other. We would already know by now if it wasn't for the SWA and their backers in the wider drinks industry.

In retrospect, Blair's 'Things can only get better' campaign may have been a tad optimistic.

Unionists long ago lost the battle for the online community and now they are starting to see their stranglehold on the msm being loosened, even if just a fraction, and it seems to have terrified them to their core. I can't really blame them for lashing out, I would probably feel the same in their shoes.

The press are unlikely to give her a free pass like they do in Scotland.

Does anyone know if these accounts include for compensation for Barton, Warburton and Weir? I'm guessing Pedro will have to be added to that list as well now.

Let's see if the threat of execution by the Spanish state has softened his resolve.

Also interesting to see so many of them raise their hands in salute.

doulikefish, that is apparently an old picture from 2011 - not from today. There has been a number of old pictures and videos posted. Not really sure why, but if I was guessing I would say to try discredit the actual violence taking place.

Really important question, and one that I'm afraid Scotland may run up against in the not to distant future. The only reason we got the Edinburgh agreement was because Westminster was so cocksure about winning.

Good luck Catalonia.

Government response to a petition to hold a 2nd Brexit referendum once the terms of leaving have become clear:

Rhea Wolfson? The same Rhea Wolfson standing in the Glasgow streets shouting about how Labour demand equal pay for women and how it's a disgrace that the SNP hasn't delivered it yet? That Rhea Wolfson, or is there another one? ffs

I had a quick look at the recent polling and that one shown on the last page was one of very few that give NO a lead. Most are YES, and all that are based on those guaranteed to vote are very strongly YES.
