b) After the hours of 6pm
c) not impregnated by a relative

Unless you’re just being racist of course.

Barclays plans 2,500 new jobs in Glasgow


Perhaps they realise that Scotland will become an independent country and join the EU.

I'm pleased that jobs are being spread throughout the UK, I hope the move to Glasgow works out, far too much stuff and investment ends up in London just because everything prior to that was setup in London.

Found the following regarding racism!

Last week Kevin Bonar, a Hearts fan, was convicted of a racially-aggravated breach of the peace for calling Craig Bellamy, the former Celtic player, a "wee Welsh bastard" at a football match.

This is not, believes Paul McBride, a leading criminal QC, the kind of person the act was supposed to criminalise.

"It was to deal with black and Asian people being abused in the street, " he said. "I don't think they foresaw it being applied to national slurs in the way it has been.

"The act was a good idea.

There is no doubt ethnic minorities were being abused and the penalties were not fitting the crime.

"There is no problem with the legislation - the problem is that, in the current climate, if you add certain banned adjectives in front of an insult you are branded a racist.

"Now you have people involved in relatively trifling circumstances finding themselves branded a racist and as a result barred from every public sector job in the country.

"The guy who called Bellamy a Welsh bastard was going to call him a bastard anyway. He just happened to be Welsh.

"He could have called him a Celtic bastard and it wouldn't be racially aggravated."

He warned that if the law continues to be applied as it is at present, the interpretation of "racial" could be unnecessarily widened.

He added: "Although it has never been tested in court, I suppose calling someone a dirty European Union bastard would be a racial slur as it refers to their nationality and citizenship.

Just another "Silicon Glen" farce in the making.

Little wonder folks up north feel so marginalised by their peers in the south when reading them comments.

Unfortunately, you've had your vote.

Vote early & vote often.

Until you get the result that "they" want.

Democracy isn't a one-off vote. It's developing and we will have another indyref in the Spring.

Your faces will be a picture when you vote for independence and fail to realise that all those jobs have to come back south of the border.

They have been marginalised since the Northern progress.
