You have been absent from the board or reduced your posting for the last couple of weeks and now you think you can determine what and what isnt news ? The annual event takes place at the beginning of each September which if you look at your calendar is now Ergo - News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapofGlencoe Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 what a bizarre few posts, do you think people could take it down a notch. been some unprovoked, unkind stuff on this board, ive noticed in recent weeks, months.... anyway... Interesting to see the Barga event of this year, if not the first i've heard of it. There is another city in Italy where they claim a random Scottish mercenary army "forgot" to go home following a war. Gurro in the Italian alps. They're all called McDonaltello and stuff like that 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Barga, there's been a litany of families from that region that integrated and made major contributions to West of Scotland society since the back of the 19th century. The legal and estate agency areas are places to look for examples. The Pordenone (Dolomites) and Sassuolo/Parma (Emilia Romagna) regions have also seen enclaves establish successfully in Scotland.

Ally Bongo Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Lucy Letby to appeal all of her murder convictions I hope to fuck she has a new legal team or at the very least her original team address the glaring issues of the original trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Scotland you can only appeal the outcome of the trial if there has been an error in a point of law, ie the Sheriff / Judge has erred in a decision / part of the speach to the jury etc or whats called an Anderson appeal. Which is if the defence solicitor has been so incompetent that a fair trial wouldnt have been possible. An Anderson appeal is an extremely high bar, really rare, especially at high court level where the defence will have gone through each and every step with the accused. The other thing you can appeal is the sentence which can then go up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66819837 News story about shop lifting. I've flagged this up as yet another example of how stories in Scotland are reported very differently. There's a frank admission from the Met. that they often won't follow up this type of crime but, unlike Scotland, there's no blame put on the Government or calls for the Justice minister to resign. Down south this story will not be in the tabloid headlines, not featuring in the paper reviews or appearing at a local supermarket so every shopper can see it.

Think it's because those behind the documentary & investigation, in advance of it being published, contacted Brand through his lawyers twice and gave them a deadline to respond Brand then went public himself Brand is quite aggressive and imposing anytime ive seen him and he scares me - you would definitely need a pub ashtray if you were going to take him on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Mind seeing a documentary about the sex industry and Brand happily admitted he was practically addicted to sex with prostitutes in his younger days, is his image not partly built on him being a “ladies man” 🤷♂️. Katherine Ryan has been hinting about him being a deviant for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's guilty of what he's being accused of then I've nae sympathy, but I can't help thinking this is a diversion from something. I mean, Russell Brand, FFS, someone's who's moment in the sun expired about ten years ago - they're doing full page Sunday paper spreads and making documentaries about him?? It's funny how journalists can be all investigative and diligent when it's some has-been celebrity in the spotlight but someone in a position of authority of influence or power needs investigating and it's 🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
