Subject: BS: UK Geography question
Q. What does the UK's largest county have in common with the Olympic Torch Relay?
A. Fuck all.
Yes folks, due to the fact that we are so sparsely populated, and therefore we won't buy many tickets, the Olympic torch Relay will not pass through any part of Sutherlane. Or Ross-shire, or Caithness.
As Mr Cameron says, 'We're all in it together' What we're in is limbo, and we find this to be further proof of how irrelevant the Westminster political machine is, to Scots, and Scotland.
Not that I want to see the goddamned torch, I shan't watch one second of the Olympics, but this piece of cynicism annoys me.
