| We watch with interest from Scotland as Trump has connections here,much to our dismay.Following his various statements and mocking of a disabled reporter,last week the Scottish Government (which has a few Muslim MPs) removed him from his position of 'Business Ambassador' and a university cancelled a... |

| I've always been bemused by the ruling that Presidents must be born on American soil.After all,we don't have any choice in where we are born,only where we choose to live. Here are some people who don't qualify as American under the birthplace rule - Isaac Asimov (Russian) Jackson Browne (German) LeV... |

| Trump is getting so much support. He could win. I will keep this very short, as I would very much like to see lunch time. I normally don't care very much about American politics, and have never had anything more than a passing thought about any of it's former Presidents. This time around I'm of two... |

| Trump's statement actually mirrors the extremist thinking of the terrorists,pigeonholing everyone simply by their religion or race and plays into their hands,it's the way they want us to think. It's the equivalent of the UK wanting to ban all Irish people during the IRA bombings,or even to ban all A... |

I work in shipping and export a lot of Spirits (whisky etc). Our agent in Macedonia asked,in all seriousness,if we
were shipping ghosts as he'd never heard of another meaning for spirits. |

| Scotland can welcome all the refugees they want, if they are so compassionate they should take all they can logistically handle or else who are they to try to get up on a pedestal? What are you trying to prove? Lets see how much compassion the Scots have if they suffered a terrorist attack. Er... L... |

| Although Scotland has a good record of accepting refugees and making them welcome,it's by no means a case of 'open doors'. All the refugees have come directly from camps and been thoroughly vetted by both the UN and UK security to confirm they are genuinely vulnerable victims of the conflicts -they ... |

| In this day and age, it is utterly ridiculous for a small, impoverished place like Scotland to strike for independence. They would end up going down the toilet like Greece. I'm not in favour of independence,but Scotland isn't actually impoverished.Whisky for example accounts for a quarter of the UK... |

| As long as there are still some segregated toilets that people can choose if they're not comfortable for whatever reason, or for efficiency (men can get in and out of toilets much more quickly, thanks to urinals). That's the only way it would work - having an integrated toilet as a 3rd choice.It's ... |

I'm afraid the signs were there,it's been a familiar scenario in the UK recently,where the cases in particular of
'family entertainers' Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris have seen our illusions of them shattered by revelations of their dark sides. |
