    IF what you say is true then what's the point of making reparations when the recipients won't have time to enjoy their new-found wealth? :rolleyes:

    What a thread. In general chat, too.

    EDITED - I meant some of the content, not the thread itself.

    Everything in your life is political today, what you do, what you buy, how you consume, what you eat,where you live,your relationship with "the authorities" every visa application to think otherwise is naive:)

    I am truthfully due a canny penny from the Highland clearances, but it's in the past, it's a scar that's long since healed, move on, quit bleating about the past, we are living in the present, the here and the now, this is all that matters,i don't feel the pain of my clansmen slaughtered by the English because I wasn't there it's just tales from man's history.
