Russian Saint

Yup, 6 deaths. No mention of age, underlying conditions etc. Why are we no longer being told this information? [emoji848]

Brings back memories....... it was on the playlist of my wedding video (first time around) PS. It was the ex that liked that song, just so we’re clear.

You were doing well there until you mentioned tomato sauce........ it’s got to be Broon sauce. Did you have a big ootsider? Best part of a plain loaf.

Cheers fella.

I thought he passed away a few years ago?

You’ll probably still get more time on the pitch than Cammy McPherson.

I was just about to call the local constabulary on him there. [emoji87]

I have to agree with you on that. I wouldn’t be surprised if she stopped the football for two weeks and closed the schools as well.

In no way was I having a personal pop at you. My point was the reference to “alt right” comment. To me it’s a term (along with “racist and “nazi”) that are being flung around like confetti. What have I said that’s contentious? If people “attack” my views, that says more about them than me does it not? If someone wants to engage in dialogue/debate on my views then I’m all for it.

When I seen GERS figures I thought they’d gone into admin again.

I don’t know what the answer is to be honest. You mention the “alt right”, what is your understanding of that term? there are certain political commentators that I agree with WRT COVID, BLM, independence etc that some deem on here class as alt right. What does that make me? There are the likes of George Galloway with his oratory skills and IMO knowledge on a great many issues. I agree with a lot of his points of view, but have a completely opposite view on others, I’d say he’s mainly on the left. I’m all for immigration, but legally. I don’t support the people trafficking situation we see daily from across the channel. I don’t support the BLM movement but the actual term is completely different..... all lives matter IMO, black, white, brown........ doesn’t matter to me. I don’t need to made to feel guilty of events that happened hundreds of years ago that I had nothing to do with. COVID. For me the numbers just don’t add up. We no longer hear about the breakdown of COVID deaths, as in age, underlying conditions etc....... we’re just given a figure. Independence. I was a yes voter last time around, but under this current government....... I’m not convinced. Political correctness. We’re at a stage where people can’t say what they think/believe without hurting someone’s feelings........ how many genders do we have now........ a lot more than the Saints have points. Grooming gangs, a certain individual has been raising awareness (whether you like him or not) for years but has been hounded by the media for it. Now the media are paying attention to this on a regular basis. The facts don’t care about feelings. So if my views make me a racist “alt right” then so be it. My understanding of that term is along the lines of far right white supremacy, anti Jewish, anti feminist and anti everything that’s not white...... I of which am neither.

I’m not really interested in Czechoslovakia, I’m interested in finding out how Scotland are going to fair....... or not as the case may be.

Agreed. However, some of his videos are relevant in the discussion IMO with regards to BLM. A few of the videos he’s posted were of black folk condemning the riots, the whole systemic racism thing, as these black folks in the videos are giving a different slant on the narrative being pushed via various MSM outlets. Whether individuals want to watch is up to them. Personally, I always try to look at both sides of the debate and I’ll form my own opinions, and I’m not saying that you or others don’t do likewise. I’m just talking about myself.

IMO, unless someone is making threats to another forum member or constantly using foul or abusive language, then I don’t see why Shull, Shetland, Faraway or anyone else should be put in the sin bin or binned completely if all they are doing is disagreeing with others opinions. I’ve disagreed with a few chaps on here on many topics, but not for a minute would I want them silenced.

If Scotland do gain independence, what industries do we have, where’s the revenue coming from? There will be no more fiscal transfer prop ups. Is there a guarantee that Scotland would get back into the EU? I believe the Scottish Government need to be transparent on how our economy will be set up before any vote on independence is granted. I hope they don’t try to work that one out after the fact. How’s the Tax, pensions, currency for example going to work? These things need to be cast in stone to let voters know what they’re potentially walking into.

Jason Scotland offered his services twice for that. I contacted the club (Top 6 Tony) on his behalf, passed on his contact details etc, no one from the club ever got back to him.

Feck

I think you’ll find it’s ........”Are there no schools in Russia?” [emoji6]

I believe it has to be put into perspective. Population of France is what.......... around 65/70million?, and 50 (fifty) Covid “related” deaths for September up to and including 17th.

I’ll probably get slaughtered for this by some 🤣🤣🤣

I’d say from my experience that the gun owners that I know are all good intelligent law abiding people, not the type to go out shooting up the town, and I’d say that the majority of legally owned firearms are the same. I get your point regarding the use of guns, but I’d say that in the world of criminal activity, the weapons would nearly all be illegal. Guns in the wrong hands IMO is where the issues lie. I’d agree that in the UK knife crime is more prevalent than gun crime, but if some random fuc*wit is on a mission to cause carnage, they’ll use whatever they can get their hands on that’ll do maximum damage. I believe in the UK certain types of knives are now illegal (Rambo style) but knife crime is on the rise? No idea what the answer is, maybe harsher sentences for those caught in possession of weapons would be a good start.

I don’t know if that’s the answer chap. People are being shot in the UK every other day, when guns are illegal. I personally have friends (not in the UK I must add) that have licenced firearms, some are concealed carry, others for home protection. All upstanding members of the community.

More room for the Old Firm when they come calling.
