Political point scoring at it's most turgid best by the slimiest deceitful politician going. Why does he not dress up as one of the Black and White Minstrels and take a wander through the streets of Toxteth? Honestly Liverpool, you would be doing the whole of Scotland a huge favour. So come on then slimy salmond was it "Scotland" or the "UK" that released the Lockerbie bomber. Glad to see he has got over his mild bout of terminal cancer. At this rate he'll be getting a telegram from Her Majesty.
"The First Minister hit out amid fears tourism could be hit after overseas governments warned visitors to stay away from Britain." What are the stats for overseas tourism to Scotland compared to that of residents of the UK...and Scotland?
I take it Salmond has never visited the cities in Scotland which have some of the most extreme cases of violence whether there is a riot or not, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee etc.....................etc. And to be honest the West and Glasgow in particular is pretty much an on-going riot. Hypocritical fat slimy oaf who is full of his own self important bullshit.
If the riots had been in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee do you think the media would be referring to them as "British" riots?
We're not saying that there is not truth in what he says but it is lazy political point scoring aimed at simpletons like yourself to engender hatred of something which is a horrible situation no matter where it is. I would be quite happy to have Aberdeen called a British City. Because it is in Britain. Besides it's hypocrisy coming from you who likes to think that Edinburgh disassociates itself from run down ghettos like Glasgow.
Why don't you **** off down England you old, anti-Scottish ****? Every day you're on here slagging off our country. **** off to Englandshire you toadying old creep.
I WAS born in England First three years of my life in Sussex. It's why I love Britain so much and hate it at the same time. Crawley in deepest Sussex......................................a green and pleasant land indeed
