The reason I entered this thread was from an academic standpoint I wanted and still want to find the date when Captain Laning reputedly said "We're not worried. They're jus a bunch of goddam Eskimos".
I wanted this information to date the writing of the song "The Glasgow Eskimos" by T S Law.
Observer's intervention's have been incorrect and full of poisonous insults. The NVA data example was written in 2012 and merely conflated "demonstrators " with "Eskimos" and the writer's sources were empty of information and confirmation.
I had and have no intention of discussing the merits of "protest" songs pertaining to my serious quest in seeking the date of Captain Laning's quote. This is purely academic and Observer's sneering at my using the British Library rather pay to use the Scotsman's data base is a new low.
If you have nothing positive to add to my enquiry I suggest you 'Tak the road an' seek ither loanings for your ill ploy tae sport and play'.
