RE the Glasgow fire, I see the fire service used water directly from the Clyde.

1. They have Mason to thank that their filters weren't clogged up with dead snakes and stuff.

and 2. must have been a fair length of hose, that's about a mile according to google maps.

The big question is was it Sevco or Timmy fans who set fire to it.

Could we be a step closer to the government relaxing the rules regarding licenses for marijuana for medical use?

Perhaps a way off yet knowing the red-rape that has to be waded through to get anything done in this country but the case of the epileptic boy who has been given his weed back is a step in the right direction.

It's common sense really, if using cannabis oil helps people who are ill then there is absolutely no reason to deny them access to it.

That kid is well and truly going to open a can of worms

I'm sure I read that the prime minsters husband just bought lots of shares in a Cannabis oil company. If it gets legalised in Canada then it's possible it will over here but still a while away.

Weed now is super strength. They'll be lots of monged out people with paranoia. And I don't mean Celtic fans.



On the subject of plastic...anyone been to Japan? Amazing country, clean, friendly and efficient but by **** do they like to wrap **** up. If you buy a box of biscuits you'll find the individual biscuits wrapped as well.

He was actually speaking about aborting disabled babies, which the Nazis would have loved to be able to do.

The Catholic Church are only annoyed because they don't have as many orphanages bursting at the seems anymore with potential victims and workers, raking in millions.

The United States has announced it is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Sky News

UN ambassador Nikki Haley made the announcement in a speech on Tuesday, calling the body "an organisation not worthy of its name" and a "cesspool of political bias".

The US has accused the UN Human Rights Council of hypocrisy and "chronic bias" against Israel, and has taken exception to China, Cuba and Venezuela, which have been accused of human rights violations, occupying seats.

Speaking with Ms Haley, secretary of state Mike Pompeo said the UN had "become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy, with some of the world's worst human rights abuses going ignored".

The US itself is not immune to accusations of human rights abuses and the timing of the withdrawal is conspicuous.

On Monday, UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein weighed in on the policy of separating child migrants from their parents and detaining them at the southern US border.

The timing of it does seem to coincide with the border issues they have had over the last few days. Kids being kept in cages etc. Cant quite get my head around whether the US is isolating itself, undoing decades of hard work, or is going at it alone for the benefit of the country.

The issue with the kids at the border is ****ed up, no matter how you spin it. The hardline Trumpets will defend it or even like the idea but it's wrong.

The issue with the kids at the border is ****ed up, no matter how you spin it. The hardline Trumpets will defend it or even like the idea but it's wrong.

The easy way to solve that problem is to stop letting illegal immigrants into the country. Maybe they could build a wall. If you tried to fly to America (or any other country) without a passport, you wouldn't even get on the plane. Why should people without passports be allowed to wander across the border?
