    A man, understood to be Falkirk's Labour MP Eric Joyce, is arrested on suspicion of assault following a disturbance at the Scottish Houses of Parliament. <laugh>

    and

    State-controlled Royal Bank of Scotland reports a loss of £2bn in 2011, its fourth year of losses since the bank's bailout in 2008.

    How on earth are you going to cope when you become an independant state? Sorry but you need England a whole lot more than you realise. <ok>

    RBS was fine until it moved to London <ok>

    Bank of Scotland was fine until Halifax bought them over <ok>

    RBS is a product of the Union, anyway, as it was introduced to handle the loan from England after the Darien palaver.

    We'll be much better off without our country being subject to you Delboys <ok>

    It's never going to be 100% independence is it really?

    Salmond still wants a blanket in case your banks **** up and also to get a cuddle off the defence budget, and we want our oil.<laugh>

    Do you really want a competition about MPs behaviour and the running of banks?

    Saw that on the news this morning. Apparently he was arrested after a punch up in one of Parliament buildings 11 bars. Subsidised bars, I may add.

    RBS post 2 Billion loss (double that of last year) and are set to pay out millions in bonuses to the ****nuckles wot did it. I really am in the wrong ****in business.

    Aye, Northern Rock had nothing to do with anything.

    Lehman Brothers had a big office in Scotl... oh, no, hang on.

    Barings was Scott...no, wait, they weren't and we had to bear the brunt of that...

    A few years ago, the local Police in my area revealed that the address in Paisley that the police were called to more than any other was....


    ...the local council debating chamber <laugh>

    Labour and the SNP regularly descended into punch-ups.

    Democracies have fights - fake democracies like England and America have two party systems that stifle debate (and fechting <ok>)

    You'll need to learn the proper colloquial vernacular in which to express yourself if you want to continue speaking to us masters of England once we bail you out with our natural resource fund.


    Enjoy your drought (in February<laugh>)<ok>

    We're tied to each other for ever, you taking our coin (still) and us draining your natural resource.

    No drought in Manchester pal, it as wet as an otters pocket here<ok>

    Lehman Brothers are American and Barings was sold not bailed out.

    You could have said Bradford & Bingley as well as Northern Rock, two tiddlers of the banking world.

    It still offends me that I'm grouped in with the 'Cockney Del Boys' from 'Nigelshire' <grr>

    (And **** knows why you all still prefer Southerners to us normal Northern folk <yikes>)
