Not bad for a second term government. http://www.newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-politics/3106-support-for-snp-reaches-record-high-in-new-poll.html Oh, and the Scottish Torries are to disband. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/scotland/scottish-politics/8739927/Scottish-Conservative-Party-set-to-disband.html

Doubt that'll work in their favour, personally.

Posts: 834 Group: Members Member #394 Joined: October 28, 2004	Interestingly, BBC Scotland News coverage has been absent in reporting either of the note-worthy polls this week, yet they don't have a problem pimping the headline "Violent crime up by 2% in Scotland" when in actual fact, total crime fell by 4% and weapon-based crime fell 11% and Vandalism, 12% Shit journalism?

Posts: 1 Group: Members Member #5,008 Joined: June 6, 2013	I hate to be a terrible prick and spam, but there's a debate on Wikipedia over whether the name "Mega Drive" or "Sega Genesis" should be used for the title of the article on said console. Currently it's named Sega Genesis but historically it's always been Mega Drive, and now is a good opportunity for any WoS members with Wikipedia accounts to chime in against the yank majority and get it changed back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sega_Genesis#RFC:_.22Sega_Mega_Drive.22_or_.22Sega_Genesis.22_as_the_article_title.3F
