But then, as long as you have segregated schooling in Scotland, all you're doing is breeding hate for the next generation. I couldn't understand, when as a very young kid, why my best friend wouldn't go to the same school as me. Last I heard many years back he's now a serious bigot with some very questionable political idols. How much of that was through the socialisation he recieved at the school he went to?
Religion should be confined to the home. Not in school and not state funded as it is at the moment. Maybe then we'd have a chance of binning this nonsense over the next few generations.

I agree & hope so- it's the worst thing about the country. I grew up in Polbeth & am thankful that, at the time, I was from a minority religion & lightly ostracised, or who knows how I may have ended up. Must be hell going through high school in a place like that.

We could create another topic on that.

Or do you belive no one in scotland payes any tax 
Yes, of course people in Scotland pay tax. People in Scotland pay almost exactly the same amount of income tax and NI as people employed in the square mile of the City of London!I'm not saying nothing should be spent on Scotland, but I certainly don't think the Scottish contribution is anywhere remotely big enough to justify any sort of special treatment, do you?
Either we're one country or we're not. Get rid of all this b
ks about having different legal systems, different education systems, different health systems and everything else, and we'd be in a much better position.

The CURRENT thinking is that those who vote will choose the SNP over the London-governed Labour party to play the lead role in the Scottish Parliament. Pretty obviously the SNP aren't keen on being 'one country', so it appears to follow that the majority of voters aren't either, given how central and key separation is to SNP policy.Many (most) people don't care (or vote). They assume some dominant force amongst the vested interests will impose whatever direction best suits their interests and that'll be that. The rest of us will just adapt as best we can to whatever silliness they impose. Nothing new there, then.
But what's this to do with someone trying to fragmentise Neil Lennon?
Personally I think he's a hopeless manager and am of the 'Lennon Must Stay' persuasion. Much better idea than shredding him and risking them getting a real or effective coach.

When the thread was first started, the title was something like "lighting an almost out fuse", and nobody had posted a link to the story, so all you had to go on was a picture of three people and one line about "Scottish representatives".Unless you knew who the people were, and exactly what was going on, it was a fairly obvious assumption to make.

Well this IS the NP&E thread, and it IS the UK national headline story, and even people on Mars have heard of Neil Lennon (tho they probably don't like him either and can't be ruled out as suspects at this stage.....)Unless you knew who the people were, and exactly what was going on, it was a fairly obvious assumption to make.

Personally I'd never heard of this Neil Lennon bloke (so I assume I don't live on Mars), but even for those who have, how many of them would recognise him just from a photo?

Must be hell going through high school in a place like that. The indoctrination and bullying to comply was excessive back in the 70's and I have no doubt it still goes on.
The one thing that made it clear to me what was wrong was witnessing the gang fights on the stadium terraces during the matches, real knife/hatchet stuff.
I just woke up one day and said to myself, stuff this lot.

Neil Lennon was a hot head with a chip on his shoulder when he was a player. Nevermind a manager. He's not got many fans up here, apart from the TIMS and I reckon half of them can't stand him either.
He's not the first 'hot head' to play in Scotland and he won't be the last.He is the first 'hot head' to be sent a bomb though.
Wonder why that is?
