There have been 3 controlled explosions in scotland. Did you know?
If this was in London we would all know, the BBC let it slip out on the 'world tonight'. London based news rarely reflects on the real issues in scotland and the north.

I heard that yes, but then I'm in Glasgow. I agree with you this isn't getting at all the same mount of coverage it would have got had it been at Heathrow.

The worst terrorist attack on mainland Britain actually happened in Scotland resulting in 270 deaths, let me remind you
Dec. 21. 1988, Lockerbie, Scotland: N.Y.-bound Pan-Am Boeing 747 exploded in flight from a terrorist bomb and crashed into Scottish village, killing 259 airline passengers and 11 people on the ground
And the question is not anti English if you read it they also are saying if it happened in the North of England the media would have less interest, which is true.
And there have been 3 controlled explosions in Glasgow

Are you kidding? The News on BBC1 at 1pm, 6pm and 10pm has mentioned them so much I am confused, and I think you may be as well, as to how many controlled explosions there have actually been. Each time the News comes on they say 'another controlled explosion in Paisley' .. but I think the total is only two.

So true, which is why Scotland should have its own independent news service. Now Alan Johnson has been released we could give him the top job!

Yeah, more Anti English Crap. Don't you know the 1st rule of War is divide and rule?
And i have to say that isn't this the first Terrorist attack on Scotland? Us English have lived with Terrorism for years. Considering that not only is Brown a Scot, BUT Tony McBlair is also Scottish, don't you think we English have suffered enough as a result of Scottish Foreign policy?
