Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Police vow to catch George Square rioters

POLICE said last night they were confident of tracing more people after making 11 arrests following “ugly” scenes at a

violent pro-Union demonstration in Glasgow on Friday.

Officers set up an incident room to examine “valuable” CCTV evidence as SNP councillors criticised them for not acting more quickly to contain the disorder that broke out just hours after the Scottish independence referendum result was announced.

Police Scotland said arrests were for disorder, breach of the peace and vandalism, after people were attacked or threatened by the 700-strong mob who set off flares in the city’s George Square, where peaceful Yes rallies were held during the referendum campaign.

An estimated 150 police, some on horseback, were drafted in to separate the Union-­flag waving demonstrators – some of whom were members of the extreme right-wing Scottish Defence League – from independence supporters.

A number of flags bearing Loyalist and Rangers FC insignia and messages could be seen among the pro-Union crowd, and witnesses reported hearing sectarian chants and songs.

Footage showed people being kicked to the ground, Nazi-style salutes and Saltire flags being grabbed from people’s hands. A photographer was forced to flee after being threatened with having his camera smashed.

He said: “I saw people being kicked about and some of the Unionists were even fighting each other. It was a poisonous at­mosphere, with people with Union flags draped over their shoulders intimidating Yes supporters.”

Glasgow City Council’s opposition SNP group said the police response had been inadequate.

A spokesman for its leadership said: “They did not get this right – there were not adequate numbers there or the right strategy. The police just seemed to be standing back and were more interested in dispersing people.”

Deputy leader Billy McAllister is to write to Chief Constable Sir Stephen House over the concerns.

There was also criticism on Twitter. Matthew O’Hare, a Yes supporter from Glasgow, tweeted: “Not enough action by police”. Fellow Yes supporter “The Mitch”, from Ayr, was critical of the police and tweeted: “Openly allowing bigotry and racism to rule the streets of Glasgow.”

However, other politicians praised the police. Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: “The police did a superb job keeping order throughout the last week, and they again did well under tricky circumstances on Friday.”

Labour justice spokesman Graeme Pearson said: “While the scenes in George Square were ugly and upsetting, I believe the police have done

a good job in bringing the country together over a very challenging period.”

Liberal Democrat justice spokeswoman Alison McInnes said: “There is no place for this kind of behaviour in modern Scotland. Whilst the police moved quickly to manage this situation, I would hope they would not be required to do so again in future.”

Justice Secretary Kenny Mac­Askill said: “The small number of people who were responsible for causing trouble in George Square were clearly not affiliated to either side of the campaign.

“Police Scotland acted swiftly to take action against those intent on causing trouble and protect the safety of members of the public.”

Green MSP Patrick Harvie MSP said: “The small number of idiots who have behaved ­aggressively or violently bring shame on themselves and on our community. Their behaviour is an insult to democracy.”

Chief Superintendent Andy Bates, local policing commander for Greater Glasgow, said yesterday: “An investigation into Friday night’s disorder has begun and an incident room has been set up at Glasgow city centre police office, staffed by officers dedicated to identifying and arresting anyone involved in the ugly scenes witnessed across the world on television and social media.

“We have already secured valuable CCTV and other evidence, which I am confident will lead to further arrests in the coming days. Don’t think that because you were not arrested by last night that you will not be caught. If you were involved in any criminality in the square we will identify you and you will be arrested.”

Police said two Orange Lodge marches and one republican march in Glasgow yesterday passed off peacefully.

Riot gf ???

Geez we'd have double those arrests every Saturday night on Barry Island when I was a kid but they don't show you that on Gavin and Stacey !

And we don't talk like Stacey ... she's a Swansea gypo ,closest accent was Ness and we don't say "wots occurring" either :-)

Nowt to do with arrests Dil, did you know on the first day of the London Riots their were only 3 arrests ...now chew on that.

Hey I know what a pub fight is like in Glasgow. Usually a bottle job. Ive been their in the thick of it on more than 1 occasion.

Gave me a real buzz.

An early Christmas present for Cameron!

Post 46059,

To me, many individuals in the the image look like members of UKIP and BNP saluting!

Had to have another look.

UMMH!

It looks as if Wavey Dave is fleeing England for France!

back home . my post on Scotland knows 55% was 100% correct
now to push for a ukip government .

gf answer me this question on the pillock ed .

min wage £8 a hour £320 aweek
pensioners on £ 113 aweek they will not beable to live prices will go up
is it that ed wants us to die
you can not raise the min wage until pensioners are getting more money
the pensioners retiring or retired before april 2016 will be on a lot less than
those retiring after 2016 and most have paid into the system for over 45 years
its a national disgrace that the pensioners in the uk are the worst looked after in the whole eu

The Alibaba initial public offering (IPO) was a big success.

Shares in the Chinese internet giant soared 38% on their first day of trading. The company is now valued at $231bn in total. That's a higher valuation than Amazon and eBay combined.

Such a big first-day rise was great news for Yahoo shareholders – Yahoo owns a 16% stake in Alibaba.

But for everyone else, the Alibaba IPO should be a worry.

It's further evidence that US shares are over-valued. A market can't stay over-valued forever. Sooner or later, the US stock market, at the very least, will plateau – or more likely, start to fall...

Here is a whizzo socialist Labour policy!

A child benefit freeze, a cut in politicians pay and higher tax for top earners will form part of Labour's plan to bring the deficit down, Ed Balls will say at the party's conference.

The shadow chancellor will present a 1% cap on rises for the first two years of a Labour government as one of the "tough decisions" necessary to deal with the deficit if the party takes power next year.

ed speaks before he thinks the man is a simpleton

ed to bring in max life span we will kill off pensioners and save the uk
