Congratulations to Mark Daly and the BBC production team behind The Men who sold the Jerseys, who received the award from the Royal Television Society for Best regions current affairs and news event for their documentary into the goings-on in the years before Rangers descended into liquidation. They won against Grananda’s Hillsborough – The Truth At Last, which centred on a hugely important human and political story, which illustrates the standard of achievement.
Television journalist of the year
Congratulations also to Alex Thomson, of Chanel 4 News, “one of the UK’s leading correspondents. With a portfolio of coverage from Syria to door stepping Kelvin Mackenzie over Hillsborough, to Glasgow Rangers, he displays great range and versatility with a knack for finding strong angles and compelling stories. He brings real authority and storytelling skills to whatever he covers.”
Thomson is a game changer. Never has a UK journalist had so many people wanting him to stop asking questions, including many in his own industry. Fortunately he appears to be some kind of Geordie-hostility-feeder.
Good journalism is important. Well done to the winners and those in their support teams.

How do you know that?
There has never been a Catholic PM in the UK for 300 years. I doubt it will change any time soon.
A Scottish PM? Who knows. We can but try, or do you enjoy the status quo as well?
================================================
Its been a close run thing though.
Not so long ago..Chas Kennedy was leader of Lib Dems, I Duncan Smith was Leader of The Opposition & Tony Blair was PM!
neveralone
Tony Blair converted after he was PM. There has NEVER been a Catholic PM.
Ever.
I am undecided as to how I will vote, I remain to be convinced by both sides..
the arrogance shown by unionist parties who have still to come up with a decent counter leads me to believe that their belief is like our parents and grandparent we will follow like sheep and vote labour…
convince me , one way or another..
Doc
aye aye aye
and i should have continued going out with cheryl cole.

you called? o))
Estadio – If only we could harness Ernie and Phylvis power we could export enough bullshit to the rest of the world to fire up a million methane driven generating stations and still have enough ozone destroying fumes left over to melt the polar caps on the earth, Europa and the frozen wastes of fear that seem to inhabit their lily livers.
I assure you, not only would my voluminous excremental fluids solve our polar bear problem, making me the greatest hero of the Eskimo people since Blubba and the Bear, but it will cure baldness in men and cupidity in women, bring peace to the Middle East in shared disgustipation of George Galloway, unite cats and dogs in eternal amity, repopularise Betamax, make comely maidens dance at the crossroads, and finally rid the world of Airdrie.
And all you need to do, good sir, is vote “Yes” in the forthcoming Philverendum, so all your wildest dreams will come true, and at no cost to yourself!*
(* Warning – Your dreams may differ from those of Philvisreturns. Actual cost may vary.)
But lily livered?
My liver is the healthy lacerated fuscous of a true Scotsman. It is a source of wonder and awe to doctors despite their pusillanimous admonitions to “try limiting your number of units to a number smaller than Christina Hendricks’ bust measurements”, “stop drinking whisky in the shower” and “for God’s sake, man, put that thing away, this is not an epididymal exam!”.
A couple of big fearties who I wouldn’t want looking after my back in a scrap. They’d be selling my plans to the enemy for thirty pieces of silver and a royal estate.
Fearties? I – who have had stand up fights with peacocks, swans, parrots, and a giraffe that looked at me funny – a poltroon? Piffle and poppycock! Sure, I may have hid on the school bus when the peacock tried to peck me, only to find out to my chagrin five minutes later that peacocks have memories lasting longer than five minutes, but my record of heroic self defence in the face of provocation both avian and camelopardalis speaks for itself. And it’s saying “Mon, then!”
Would I sell your plans to the enemy for 30 pieces of silver and a royal estate? Damn right I would! If I thought I could obtain such a princely sum for revealing your devious contrivance to take pictures of obscure corners of Glasgow and then trick me into spending several tormented hours trying to guess the location, I would do so faster than Blair Drummond Safari Park’s security guards appeared when I last sought to gain admission to their fine establishment.
Their genetic blueprint should be displayed in every biology class as a warning of what happens when you cuckold goats.
I am happy to confirm that my capricious parents were happily married.
Head-butting aside, let’s not kid ourselves here. You have rammed insults in the direction of my honour, my pugnacity, and even my regular-as-clockwork bowels, and for why?
Because the facts are not on your side in this argument.
It’s not my fault the SNP’s “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Independence” option is so hopelessly half-baked and dishonest that, were it a bridie, it would cause the misbegotten branch of Greggs that sold it to be burned to the ground and all its staff burned alive in some sort of Wicker Bridie.
It’s not my fault some well-meaning CQN’ers are earnestly debating the benefits of “independence” when independence isn’t on offer in next year’s referendum, for a country that is politically and legally subservient to a foreign government and courts, and financially subservient to a foreign central bank, is no more “independent” than children sleeping in a tent in the back garden on a summer’s night are “camping”.
It doesn’t make one any less of a manly man with a legs like tree trunks, loins that can impregnate unwary women from forty paces, and fists that can silence an impertinent parrot with a single punch, to recognise that the stability and wellbeing of our society is more important than the jeely-piece-tomorrow promises of a bunch of pompous, puffed up pseudo-patriotic prig politicians.
Emotional narratives always have a great appeal to the young and young at heart, but facts and logic are what build things make things work. Facts and logic aren’t friends of the proposed constitutional change the Scottish people are being asked to vote on next year. That’s why they will calmly weigh up the alternatives, and vote No. (thumbsup)
The Orcs will never vote to break the union, that’s a good enough reason to vote for it!
BT, the big Bhoys are being bad tae him:-0)
Che, if he scores I’m on the bacon butties next time, £47.50 return.
Miki67
All the best mate. Stay strong.
miki67, I don’t know you pal but I feel genuine concern after reading your post. I hope to God that you pull through whatever ails you. Some people are religous some are not, personally I’m a believer and will pray for you with all my heart tonight.
Channel Island Celt, just had the briefest of meetings with you before Juventus game, so very sorry to hear your sad news/ stay strong friend, God Bless you.

To be called a bigot by a moron is no real offence
Are you suggesting that the existence of Catholic schools is the factor that causes so many kids leaving Glasgow schools without any qualifications?
BT
the chuckle brothers are on again, obviously facebook is quiet or their good ladies have taken the remote control off them

Five minutes plus stoppage time for Liverpool or they’re oot the EL on away goals rule.

what are the facts and logic of the unionist argument?
1) will the 1000th highest paid employee of the privatised NHS in England & Wales be earning over £1million per year, within 10 years echoing what happened to the deregulated banking sector
2) will trident’s estimated cost of £50billion actually cost more than £250billion due to the inherent corruption and incompetence in the UK system
3) will banker’s bonuses be curbed to such a level that the 10,000th highest paid employee in the banking sector earns less than £1million per year within 10 years?
If the answer is yes to 1 and 2 and no to 3 then independence for scotland is the answer
The UK will have less money to throw away and therefore be obliged to be more egalitarian and Scotland, where the centre ground of politics is miles to the left of centre politics in the UK will spend the additional revenue on projects designed for the many rather than the few
Suarez thought he heard the Hawaii 5-O music there!!

Politics aside, well aside, and from the point of view of purple prose alone, outstanding post.
T4, something in Saurez make up let’s him down, he really didn’t have to stand on the lads back there.
Anyone know what Malcolm Murray is supposed to have done? He is accused of inappropriate behaviour – comments made to supporters. What could possibly be taken as inappropriate by that mob.
Liverpool OOT!
VP
you told us that hours ago…
pggtips2 – If the answer is yes to 1 and 2 and no to 3 then independence for scotland is the answer
Independence for Scotland isn’t on offer. (thumbsup)
Doc – he’s got a wee nasty streak. Like a few on here! :-)
Time up and Liverpool go out after a huge blunder from Carragher, but what a fightback.

====================================================
Im not disagreeing with that only saying that the fall of some ballot papers would have decided if our PM was going to be a Catholic (or neo-catholic T Blair).
There was no talk, as I recall, of any constituational concerns about a RC becoming PM
BT
My brains itchy!

if you had read what i had written you will see there is no difference between the educational performance of glasgow children irrespective of the school they go to, the figures are a disgrace come what may and a shocking indictment of the unionist dividend.
i.e. it has nothing to do with religion which you have always mentioned one religion above other, just like every other religious fundamentalist, my religion is better than yours, pfft, what total stupidity and ignorance!
away and join the taliban with that attitude
Ha Ha the SNP are claiming that because the students at Glasgow Uni failed to back Independence in the vote, the students are not really Scottish
Arguably the SNP were founded by students at Glasgow Uni in 1928 and the vote today by the students could be the start of the end of the nationalist movement.
A lot of very angry Nats on Twitter tonight they hate getting beat on anything
Miki,
Just logged in to wish you all the best,keep the head up I look forward to many more of your excellent posts HH
Philvis thats a lor of words to say not very much . Facts are what the non believers are looking for . Again though all we hear is better together.

It’s mc murdos son.
Well out of his depth with Alex Thomson.
Got chewed up and spat out.
philvisreturns
actually yes it is, if there’s a yes vote scotland will no longer be a part of the UK and will be able to make as many fiscal decisions for scotland only as the UK does for itself now.
