HAHAHA

HHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Aye, the folks in places with a lower life expectancy than Gaza are clearly using their oil money to cane it to the max. Total degenerates.

There was an act of parliament passed in the 70s that said the north sea reserves are to be owned and shared equally amongst all British citizens.

Its pretty irrelevant anyway. Its British oil so would fall under Westminster control.

How's that working out then?

Really well, clearly. No reason anyone would think otherwise.

If your first world neighbourhood has a lower life expectancy than this place...



...then it's probably your fault.

Hamas > Glasgow City Council

[X] Confirmed

FAO American readers, photograph is Gaza not Detroit.

So, you're saying it's up to local councils to mitigate the effects of an economic system that ensures most of the money goes up to the top?

It's not lack of money killing people.

What is it then Einstein?

I have no idea, neither do you, but it's obviously not because bankers getting bonuses for making large gains the economy.

Here is a hint why it definitely isn't, these are very small pockets of the society with dramatically lower lifespans - if this was a structural problem it would true across large areas. Criminality tends to be the most common cause with gang on gang violence lowering the average within a small area.

Bad lifestyle decisions are to blame.

I expect that is too vague so DA will come back and strawman it hard, but yeah that is pretty correct.

You'll really need to work much harder to prove that economic factors bear no relevance to the fact that Scotland has the lowest life expectancy across the UK, and one of the lowest in Europe, despite the fact that it's at its highest ever level.

Aye, cos clearly everyone has the same range of possible lifestyle decisions available to them.

When I read the crap you post at times I always seem to think of Amon Goeth telling his slave in Schindler's List "you are vermin".

Over the past decade, the scientific consensus has become clear: poverty perpetuates poverty, generation after generation, by acting on the brain.

Anyway, on the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, here is The Constitution.

You completely misunderstood what was going on in those posts, I suspect because your parents are stupid.

aye, right enough. you win.

do please explain though

Thanks for you're input into these issues DiegoArmando
It seems the people of scotland woke up to the disgrace that is the UK political system in the polls.
I guess when U come for the East end of glasgow & realize that the only thing built to help the people was A lottery funded swimming pool in tollcross park done in early 2000's.
Now that we got the commonwealth games we finally got a visit from our queen(lol)
& some more facilities built.(also how has the UK never supported a scottish/irish or welsh World cup or olympic's) or similar events--ENGLAND IS BLIND TO THESE FACTS-FACT
The biggest factor in Glasgow being a slum city from the late 50's early 60's was the building of the 4 largest slum estates (in europe) at that time on the outskirts of glasgow were there was NO SHOPS-SCHOOLS-NURSERIES-SPORTS FACILITIES-POLICE STATIONS that held 15-20 officers(about 5 officers on the beat day or night) 1 bus route/(maybe2)& in winter most didn't run etc, when 1st built.
This situation was caused to get VOTES for the conservatives(segregate labour voters)
Unfortunately other cities in the UK followed soon after.
And the way Phil talks about the RF (how he has changed his opinion on them) he may be forgetting the fact that a big %age of the money earned is in the south of england. (I'm actually prepared to give the royals a chance myself, but only to the new royals & not the old(in my view racist old guard--- But also getting rid of the not so immediate RF who in my view are the real leeches)
When or if the constitution changes to give more powers to scotland & england it needs to involve the whole of the UK( Ni & wales ) to stop the House of Lords from a power grab(When they are already to powerful)
Ohh & the OIL RUSH please don't insult the scottish people to say that it was equally divided.(or northern ireland or the welsh & also the North off England).
Glasgow is 1 of the most welcoming cities in the british isles ( just ask charlie sheen lol) & brad pitt the ppl who hold the MOBO awards, MTV awards etc, it is also 1 of the most friendly for GLTB.
Our violent past was from the 1920's to the late 80's early 90's that was caused by the slum built schemes(housing estates). If u could have a poll from the visiting students in the 2000-2015 yrs i bet that 90% would say that glasgow was/is safer than there home(english town) or country.
I Pray that Scotland get another referendum in my lifetime.(i was so upset at Obama & his speech regarding OUR vote.) And when the queen got involved it only gave me more confidence that we CAN go on our own.
But gl in changing the constitution to benefit the 99% of the people of Scotland N Ireland or wales. (or north england lol to some extent)

Lol I've always lived in the north. Good job assuming that I'm southern so can't relate to the truly hard done by, the north east.

Scotland can **** right off with their claims of victimhood the amount of cash us English give them.

A third of Glasgow is nice but the rest is like a developing nation with the life expectancy rates to match in some areas.

Hi Phil I think u picked me up wrong.
Not 1ce did i say that u were from ANYWHERE-But i did say that the RF tourist attractions are mostly in the south(London) therefore it is mostly The south that gets the most benefit.
And as for victimhood, were in my post did I BLAME england. Oh cos i mentioned The Conservatives, got it.

Btw that was a mistake, but I didn't have time to do a edit.
It was actually labour who created the housing schemes(slums of glasgow) for the benefit of the votes to target what was at the time mostly conservative held areas. SORRY about the misdirection.
And u know the funny thing is that most poorer areas are as safe to stay in nowadays.(2010 onwards) because of new housing projects etc.
It has improved but also has a long way to go.

Also i understand what the north east of england has also went through so i do sympathize with u on that.

So if u picked my post up to be victimblamming england I'M NOT-And never would- i voted for independence because i believe we as a country(scotland) would be 100% independent to solve our own problems.
Most scottish ppl do not blame england for our problems & the majority never did. Most understand the benefits of the UK.

However even when the media came up from england to give reports about the campain they could not even get the correct area name they were covering in the news. Its that bollocks that gets up my nose.(it was laughable really considering ALL the MAJOR tv stations covered the 1 area that was 90% pro UK (pro union).

And I thought i mentioned that if the UK gets a chance to change the constitution then its the North that needs to look out for itself. (BUT GL WITH THAT)

Reading my 1st post again i see y u say that i assumed u were from the south. SORRY about that.

(i should use paragraphs when i am ranting)


(we only hate it when U win at football)
