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.

Aye, Ernie, wave, tidal, the whole shebang.
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.
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.
Bit like the parcel of rogues of 1707 treachery.
Their genetic blueprint should be displayed in every biology class as a warning of what happens when you cuckold goats.

Italian bureaucracy?!
Don’t get me started.
I will be honest and say ‘tho that I have not had MANY major problems – just lucky I guess.
I have had dual British-Italian nationality since 1986. At the time I was resident in Scotland.
On my Italian national ID card and my Italian passport it clearly states that my place of birth is – Greenock, Scotland, Great Britain.
Maybe the point I am trying to make is the fact that (very) many Italians when talking of the UK refer to ‘Inghilterra’ – England. They just do not seem to get the concept that England is just one, albeit major, part of a nation called the United Kingdom of…..
Annoys me tremendously, and I have had countless arguments with Italians as I sometimes vainly try to explain all this to them.
HH!!

Great to see you back on the blog, old thing.
A tad unfair to goats, though. Did you know goat’s milk has 30% less cholesterol than cow’s milk and that fully 6% of all the weans in Brazil at the moment have an allergy to cow’s milk anyway? I found these things out this morning on the train.

Is it Lesotho?
No clues.
Nope-Lesotho is also mountainous so can develop its own Hydro Electric scheme.
I will give you a clue -north of Lesotho

Glad to have you back.
Where have you been?
Perhaps doing some research on Crossraguel Abbey?
It’s spooky mind – but fascinating!

‘Everyday you and a few others come on here and bang on and on about Scottish nationalism and the evils of the SNP and when people like me raise any counter point you go ballistic’
I have never initiated a discussion about the nats on here.
I respond to nats when they post propaganda.
Understood?
Read through this thread.
Tell us who first mentioned the nats and their politics.
Tell us whether it was a nat.

Hmmm.
North of Lesotho, eh?
Not Bouvet Island then.

That’s the sort of level of attention to detail I would expect of someone who supports such hare brained nonsense.

Tallybhoy .
I regularly encounter the Inghilterra thing ——– it doesn’t really bother me —– I’m a mongrel who describes himself as Glaswegian ..
Mrs S of T is getting her mutande in a right twist re her fears that Berlusconi might win . She has taken to talking about moving back to London . Began to get a bit twitchy myself following a wee run of meeting sane / sensible / not prone to exaggeration people forecasting barricades in the streets if that – wins
Have you received your Rimborso L’IMU letter? If that isn’t a clear attempt at buying votes , I don’t know what is.!

The roots of Scottish Nationalism run deep, very deep, precede the creation of the Scottish National Party, and I predict will survive long after Alex Salmond is gone. I have stated on here that I do not consider that the SNP has a mandate for Independence, they would need fifty MPs for that, but consider the delivery of a referendum a considerable political achievement. By any standards. The Labour Party in Scotland has long forgotten its’ historical roots and has now re-invented itself as the Scottish Unionist Party, with little to distinguish itself from the old one. It is not a pretty sight, being part of a movement which includes UKIP, and the Rump, otherwise known as the Scottish Tories. Rightly derided as the “bitter thegither” campaign. There is a great ongoing debate going on, mainly in the Glasgow Herald it has to be said, and no doubt it will feature heavily on these pages over the next eighteen months, and rightly so. Let us keep the insults to a minimum.

Scotland has the ability to develop Hyrdo Electric power massively over the coming decades.
Could easily become an enegy exporter once renewables fully developed. Know who would be the main customer mmmmmm

This Government aid for India malarky…. it can used for “defence” purposes which is bad enough, but presumably with a stipulation that British defence companies such as BAE are the beneficiaries.
Is this not a state subsidy? We, the tax payers, fund arms-making which benefits BAE shareholders and India.
Makes you think when you are organising a training run for Sunday on behalf of Wee Oscar.
Tallybhoy .
Mrs S of T took part in a Return to sender demo at a big Post Office . The obligatory old ladies weren’t too happy to learn that the reason why the coda was extra extra long was that people were Q’ing to send the letter back to Silvio..[ one by one ]
I got a curled lip when I suggested that she move to Malta and then a —– ” I might just do that and don’t think for a minute that I’ll be sending you any Marmite “.

Oh dear.
You are making me laugh very hard now.
On THIS Thread (the one at the top of this page) at 12:36 on page 1 – is that clear enough for you?
It was YOU who started talking about Nationalism on THIS thread. No one else.
The second major poster on the subject? Philvisreturns
The Third? Bawsman
None of them are Nationalists.
I post once or twice a month on the subject with you it is EVERY DAY. Dare I say it you sound obsessed (flavour of the month word)
I posted an article THIS morning on the PREVIOUS blog for the consideration of anyone who was interested (there was no obligation to read it and that was why I only produced a link so as not to clog the blog so to speak).
Who was the first person to answer that? YOU.
Quite frankly it is like you’re waiting to jump down anyone’s throat who dare post anything but I knew you would.
I responded to your predictable and usual smear job name calling on the LAST thread and thought it finished at that.
Then as usual you went into overdrive on THIS thread with multiple posts against any poster who discussed it or brought out a reasonable argument.
Thems the facts.
Philbhoy – It’s just the beginning!

Ah well philvus , at a time when energy poverty is a major problem today , your’e main concern is that a new Hydro Electric scheme might affect the view from your castle.
Celtic First : I was only kidding , it was England . Their was no further meaning.
Imagine the chance (of a lifetime) to have a government where politicians set the agenda for the good of the nation and corporations are invited to achieve the targets.
Instead of politicians and parties who are instructed, funding dependant on what policies to push to further their business strategy.
anyway, away to buy a lottery ticket….

What I was asking was what you think it will mean for the relationship between Scotland and England.
