British Council in Russia - It seems the Russians have had the cheek to suggest this is a political rather than economic & cultural organisation. What a disgraceful claim when their office is run by Mr Kinnock Jnr whose undoubted expertise is all in the economic & cultural area & could never be accused of having got the job purely because of his political connections.
Britain will never have any problems so long as we can produce families of such amazing talent as to be able to fill so very many extremely well paid jobs as the Kinnocks. It was good to see on TV last night what a fine upper class accent the young representative has developed.

Squinty Bridge collapse - Clearly the workmanship has been shoddy - bridges like this do not immediately collapse in any part of the world not run by what is known as crony capitalism . For the same company to be involved in 2 major recent Scots construction failures is disgraceful.
I have expressed dismay before that the new Forth crossing is going to cost 13 times, after inflation, what the last one did & 100 times what a tunnel should cost. It seems that we are not only paying fa above the ods for construction but are getting jerry building for it.
May I also express dismay at the failure of the Scottish media to report on the incompetence/corruption we all know has been endemic in Scottish politics for generations?. Where are the journalists who think their job is something more than rewriting press releases?

We did claim to PROVE in the Nuremburg trials that planning an unprovoked aggreesive war was a war crime - we certainly proved that the British state accepts it as such. This means, as a matter of law, one of 2 things: that those who engaged in such war crimes are guilty of criminal activity & will be prosecuted or else that the British judicial system is wholly corrupt.
The Kosovo war was not supported by the UN - this is a simple statement of fact. I suggest you check & then withdraw. The fact is that Kosovo has been "cleansed" 350,000 humans under NATO rule. Under direct British authority at least 210 people were deliberately murdered in the Dargodan Massacre & numerous other smaller instances of genocide occurred. The war was carried out, quite deliberately, to support a KLA organisation known to be engaged in genoocide . This again is a matter of record. Genocide on a, probabnly, greater extent occurred in the "cleansing" of Krajina by the Croatian Nazis, carried out under NATO officers & with NATO military support.
"Lets put things in perspective" - can you seriously suggest that anyhting done by our al Quaeda ex-friends on 9/11 was remotely as murderous as the various things the NATO leaders have done over the years in Yugoslavia?

Interesting how most of your Scotsman comments on Kosovo were removed by the administrator.Shades of Orwell's '1984' there.Seems like you are rocking the boat and making waves.
Is this sort of censorship common in the British media?

Actually it was somebody else's comments that were removed. Such removal is not common but it does happen & I was previously barred from the Scotsman online because I had compared our media non-reporting of genocide under our rule in Kosovo with Nazi Germany's non-reporting of genocide too. I have also been barred from the Guardian & Channel 4 sites on similar grounds. Certainly the Yugoslav wars are the biggest single no-go area in UK media - I have also found it a subject particularly difficult to get letters in the papers on.
I suspect the same applies in other NATO countries.
