    It's ok Dev. The readers all know already that Glasgow's a much more multiculturally diverse city than London. You've backed a dead cert there alright sann <ok>

    I think you are mistaking me for some parochial dimwit Rob. I have lived in England so I've been around... unlike some.

    Not really, it's a dig at someone who's never been to Scotland or Norn Ireland but sees fit to criticise them anyway.

    He knows who he is.

    When you were born, and your mum asked the doctor whether it's a boy or a girl, did the doctor reply, "i'm sorry, but it's a spelling error" ?

    So once again you have no clear understanding of the situation, which is exactly my point about how the media affects people's way of thinking.

    You appear to state twice that the comedian either mentioned Europe or was on about Europe, at no time can i remember him mentioning Europe, the only place name I believe he gave was Russell Square.

    Also he goes on to mention Jo Cox to highlight his point, so where was the murderer from Kilmarnock, Thomas Mair, it is alleged that he asked for mental health help the day before her murder, this is not the first time that I have known someone (in real life) to be turned away from a UK hospital and go on to kill someone the next day.

    Official government stats for England & Wales in the 12 months of 2015, there was a total of 573 murders and that's excluding 28,008 offences involving weapons. Now for terrorism slightly harder to find official stats but the best i could find was 175 people killed BUT that was for Western Europe, defined as;

    Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland en Vatican City.

    So yes, I do see the irony of his video even if you don't.

    How many days a year on average are you too drunk to think 'properly' ?

    a) sometimes
    b) Rangers
    c) about 300 at a guess
    b) how can you have an average of a year ?
