I knew but would say nothing. You've no idea. And it's heartbreaking to see that happen they put on a strong face and go on and you help out how you can. I decided a long while ago I was not going to live like that so I got out. Yet you throw derogatory terms based on assumption.

    I wouldn't donate money but I certainly would offer my help to dispel those situations I grew up in now that I can afford to do so.

    funny how life impersonates Art, New Lie pretty much followed Labours Proposal.

    I always wondered how Alan B'stard could look so much like Tony without anyone noticing.

    Now I'm going to have to get the box set out again.

You don't live in Scotland and you certainly have no idea what is best for the poor to who you refer (though you pretend to) and yet you want to vote!

    Every one says "something needs to change" but none of these people can suggest what or how. If you really care why don't you go and dole out some of your own income, set up your own company and employ these poor people yourself otherwise shut up.
    Conscript all recruitment agents into the uranium mines would be a useful first step.

    Pride perhaps?

    And in the Great country of Scotland you can't have a good quality of life?

    You obviously love your country of birth (I am assuming) so much you chose to live and work abroad.

    Yes it doesn't cause a problem for me, but I do believe there are a lot of jobs in the communities where they currently are that will be lost or relocated.
