Team GB

So far....GB...has 2 medals..silver for womens cycling and bronz for womens swimming

[Neal]

Are those the only two that have been given out or are you going to only report on GB? :dontknow:

No..many given out allready...China lead with 12

As the OP has chosen to title his topic "Team GB" I don't think he is obligated to report on the medal tally for Burkina Faso or anywhere else. Others will drag it off topic soon enough -oops they already have.

But we won the gold for best opening ceremony ever- celebrating our community, our National Health Service, protest movements like CND, the Jarrow hunger marchers and the Suffragettes... and multi-ethnic Britain.
And the young black guy in the facebook/romance scene was so cute!

Bugger the medals.

Surprised you didn't mention how pleased you were that a moment of silence wasn't observed for the 40 year anniversary of mass murder of Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich Olympics (BTW, I was there in Munich).

BTW, the lame excuse for not taking the one minute turned out to be a total crock. OK, this decision was made by the Olympic officials, not the London show producers.


ItтАЩs now clear that Rogge wasnтАЩt telling the whole truth. ItтАЩs not that the opening ceremony wasnтАЩt fit to remember tragedies. ItтАЩs that the IOC wanted to pick and choose which tragedies to remember. The fallen from world wars and the deceased relatives of people with opening ceremony tickets made the cut. The victims of a terrorist attack that occurred at the Olympics four decades ago did not.

I did love the other stuff. Especially the tributes to national health and labor unions. Hilarious with Romney in London, the American enemy of health care access for Americans and American labor unions.

The opening ceremony was a celebration of ENGLAND, not Great Britain.

We had 4 hours of "England's green and pleasant land" including people mincing round maypoles, and 1 minute 30 seconds in total of Scottish, Welsh, and N Irish content where schoolkids sang mawkish songs for 30 seconds each. On the same theme we were "treated" to the so-called National Anthem - a dirge which contains the words 'Rebellious Scots to crush" and expected to join in!


I'm not saying it wasn't impressive as a spectacle - but don't try to pass it off as a celebration of anything other than Englishness.

PS: There is no such thing as "our National Health Service" - there are infact 4 discrete and automomous Health Services within these islands.

[Oliver]

A fair point...though it is the London Olympics. If Glasgow were to be awarded the next one, I'm not sure how much of a look-in we'd get.
Nevertheless, I have sympathy.
The NHS point is a little sententious; as far as the rest of the world is concerned, "we" have an NHS and "we" established it across the UK in the years of poverty following WW2, against all the odds. And it is envied by most. Apart from the Tea Party, naturally.

A fair point...though it is the London Olympics.

Yes it is the London Olympics - but financed by funds raised throughout the UK, e.g. the National Lottery.

I don't have a problem with it being a London event or even an English event - I have a problem with the spin that somehow all these sporting facilities being built in London will benefit the rest of the UK, when the reality is that funding is being withdrawn from regional sports facilities to finance a London jamboree. If London wants 99.9% of the facilities and prestige, let it fund 99.9% of the cost.

Compare the UK wide funding of these London Games with the Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow in 2014 for which there will be not one penny of UK wide funding, the entire cost of which is having to be underwritten by the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council - and you wonder if you will get "a look-in"? :sign5:

The point I'm making about the NHS is that it is paraded as a single unified entity when it is not.
I guarantee that the vast majority of SGF members would not know that there are in fact 4 discrete Health Services in the UK all with their own funds, programs and priorities. Sure it's not a big major point but it illustrates the spin that is put on such matters by people who think England and Great Britain is the same thing.

[lexusgs]

Ok I will bite. Scottish you are beginning to sound a bit of a bore with all this Scottish 'oh woe is me crap'. Seriously mate who do you think subsidises the current folly that is the Scottish Parliament etc etc. The Commonwealth games in 2014 is already being funded by a mix of public/private money. No doubt it will go over budget and have to be bailed out by the UK govt. Just like the SCOTTISH Banks in 2008. Honestly mate and PLEASE don't take this personally but the way some Scottish people whinge and moan about England or London or the rest of the UK I just wish they would hurry up and have the referendum right now so you can all fuck off :laughing3:

Its a fact that Scotland could never survive as an independent nation. What it would gain in Oil or Gas revenues it would lose in all the subsidies it gains from London right now. It could n't afford it's own armed forces and would never be allowed to join the Euro. Who do you think bailed out the Scottish banks in 2008?? RBS and HBOS are both basket cases. RBS alone has debt 13 times that of Scotland's entire GDP. Scotland would be bankrupt without the help it receives from the UK gov't. End of. Don't take my word for it. Just take a look here:

http://www.economist.com/node/21552564

Oh I don't take your word for it - and neither do I take seriously the patronising, metropolitan claptrap in the Economist - which published a map entitled "Skintland".

Now you see, and don't take this personally mate, but your RBS argument is just based on ignorance.
Scottish GDP in 2008 was an estimated ┬г145 billion.
The cost to the UK of the RBS / HBOS bail out in 2008 was ┬г88 billion.
However the actual Scottish share on a per capita basis was ┬г8.8 billion, and on the debt accrued by the Scottish registered banks which would have been an independent Scotland's liability is estimated at ┬г2.4 billion.

Because there is one little detail you have totally forgotten (or more likely never knew)- as Andrew Hughes Hallett, Professor of Economics at St AndrewтАЩs University, put it:

"The real point here, and this is the real point, is by international convention, when banks which operate in more than one country get into these sorts of conditions, the bailout is shared in proportion to the area of activities of those banks, and therefore itтАЩs shared between several countries. In the case of the RBS, IтАЩm not sure of the exact numbers, but roughly speaking 90% of its operations are in England and 10% are in Scotland, the result being, by that convention, therefore, that the rest of the UK would have to carry 90% of the liabilities of the RBS and Scotland 10%. And the precedent for this, if you want to go into the details, are the Fortis Bank and the Dexia Bank, which are two banks which were shared between France, Belgium and the Netherlands, at the same time were bailed out in proportion by France, Belgium and the Netherlands."

So you see, mate, the RBS bailout would have required to have been financed by the rest of the UK to the tune of 90% in any event (and proportionately in other EU states in which RBS traded), so your argument that Scotland would have had to bail out the entire RBS/HBOS operations is just plain wrong. Plus you conveniently forget that all the years RBS/HBOS was making huge profits, the taxation revenue positively flowed into the UK treasury, so why shouldn't they accept the hit?

Let me move on to the "subsidies from London" :

A recent study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) think tank, based on official tax and spending figures, concludes that Scotland's North Sea oil and gas revenues, with other taxes, means it gets no net subsidy from the rest of the UK. Or, if you don't believe those figures, why don't you look at the UK Govt GERS figures which show that far from the rest of the UK subsidising Scotland, it's often the other way round.

Next, let's look at/destroy your "Armed Forces" argument -

Well, maybe we wouldn't be able wage illegal wars in Iraq or invade Afghanistan and sacrifice hundreds of our own young men and slaughter hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghanistani women and children - but I think we can do without that kind of thing don't you? If we were to believe people like lexusgs, after independence the Scottish defence capability would consist of a freefone number and a recorded message saying "We surrender" in six languages.
The difference would be that an independent Scotland would only require a defence capacity, Westminster requires an attack capacity.
Scotland's notional share of Westminster's Department of Offence spending amounts to around ┬г3.5 billion annually. Less than ┬г2 billion of that is actually spent in Scotland. Even if we were to maintain defence spending exactly as it is now, we'd still have an extra ┬г1.5 billion to play with. The savings we'd make by no longer coughing up for Westminster's pretensions to Great Power status would alone pay for investment in Scottish jobs and industry which would more than compensate for any loss of defence sector jobs.
And don't forget you'll be getting your nukes back as well - once the Olympic Games Cttee are finished using Eton Dorney you could maybe house them there? Too close to home? I f***ing bet it is.

Now to your most ludicrous assertion yet - that "Scotland would never be allowed to join the Euro" - WFT?

Are you living in a bubble?
Who the hell wants to join the Euro these days?
But hang on a minute - I thought the Unionist position was that Scotland would be kicked out of the EU anyway (there is no such provision of course, but they don't let that little detail bother them) - so where does "joining the Euro" come into it?

The currency position post-independence is clear - the pound sterling will remain the currency of an independent Scotland until the Scottish people decide otherwise. The pound is our national currency just as much as it's the currency of the rest of the UK, and Scotland owns a proportional share of the central bank, the Bank of England, which underwrites that currency. As an independent state, Scotland would have just under 10% of a stake in the Bank of England, and 10% of influence. 10% of influence is 100% more than the influence we have just now. The pound sterling is a fully convertable currency, Scotland cannot be prevented from using it, in the same way as Ireland kept the ┬г from 1921 until it got its own Saorst├бt pound in 1928, then the Irish Punt in 1938, all of which was pegged to Sterling until it joined the Euro in 2002.

Don't believe me?
Well, "Don't take my word for it" as you said - let's take a look at what the UK Prime Minister has said on this issue:

"Of course it is possible that Scotland can stand alone - that is true....I don't think we'd ever succeed in saving the Union by frightening Scots to say you couldn't possibly make it on your own."

So, if in the future you wish to debate any political or economic issues with me, mate, I suggest you get your facts right before opening your cakehole.

And here's a final though to keep us on topic - when you watched that Olympic parade of 200+ nations, did you think about how many of them used to be ruled by Mother England?
Exactly how many of them have regretted breaking free and have begged to come back into her suffocating bosom.
Why do you think the Americans, Australians, Canadians and many, many, more all celebrate their independence day?

Have a nice day.

Fantastic !....GB mens team...get bronz in the gymnsastics !..best they've ever done in thier history..crowds going beserk!

Apparently they got Silver before the Japanese complained, won an appeal, and were promoted form 4th to 2nd.

As Basil Fawlty said "Who won the bloody war anyway?"

:evil4:

[Neal]

I don't know I only read the news and thought that was fucked up.

[Marsilius]

No, the judges spent a lot of time looking at video evidence of the Japanese gymnast's performance, realised that they had made a mistake, awarded him extra points and then revised the medals table. It was a fair process, as conceded by Team GB. The real losers were the Ukrainians, demoted from third to fourth place and hence losing any sort of medal.

Wow MATE,

That must have taken you all night to formulate a reply. Sorry but I got bored by your second paragraph. I stand my my opinion. You can put whatever spin you wish to to make it look
favourable from your own point of view. The bottom line MATE is that Scotland would end up as just another Greece or some similar. Personally as I have already mentioned I hope Scotland
does break away. You are absolute proof of the type who moans on and on about independence at every opportunity. It's boring. Give it a rest man. (I mean mate :bounce:)


You have a nice day now :hello2:

[fountainhall]

I haven't read all the posts because I don't have much interest. But I have only seen one reference to one important thing - OIL! The oil that Britain has been benefitting from since the early 1970s lies off the coast of Scotland - not England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Without the revenues from the offshore oil and the employment generated - and taxes paid - by all the ancillary onshore service companies, the UK's economy would have collapsed decades ago without massive cuts in expenditure.

Most of the big oil fields lie offshore north of a Berwick-on-Tweed border while an enormous new area of hydrocarbon production is being developed west of the Shetland Islands. The southern North Sea тАУ off East Anglia - is still a significant area for gas production but nothing like what lies north of there.

London holds political control of the tax levels currently but the civil servants that work on North Sea regulatory affairs are based in Aberdeen. An independent Scotland therefore would have most of the brain power in place while all the big oil companies use Aberdeen as an industrial centre for their offshore operations too.

As for the gymnastics last night, the British team were amazing, given that the sport has only recently become popular - and it was competing against the giants of China and Japan. World Champion Kohei Uchimura was almost unbelievable, until his last surprising dismount from the pommel horse. I thought the whole event was riveting and cannot wait for the individual disciplines later in the week.

That must have taken you all night to formulate a reply.... I stand my my opinion....The bottom line MATE is that Scotland would end up as just another Greece ....

Lexugs you must be even thicker than I thought - a simple look at the timestamps will tell you how long it took me to formulate my reply.
It's not difficult or time consuming to argue with you, the figures quoted are not mine, they are official figures and official quotes.
All we have had from you is assertion, bluster, and insult.

Your tactic (and the tactic of the British state) is the trademark of the abuser and the bully - "you are too small, too poor, and too stupid to stand on your own two feet, so you better do as I tell you"

Even now, while you rant and rave about how Scotland would be an economic basket-case, your own Prime Minister, the Etonian toff, concedes otherwise - and he is the guy with the figures, rather than the guy (you) with the bluff and bluster.

Fountainhall's post is on the button - this is a large part of why the British state is shitting itself big time and deploying all the tactics and resources available to it. If Scotland goes, the overwhelming majority of Oil and Gas revenues go (by international law - there is no argument about it), and the UK's much vaunted AAA credit rating goes with them.

The British state has deliberately lied about the Oil for over forty years - a scandal that, thanks to the burying of evidence, almost nobody knew or cared about.

Fair point BlueChris, I do apologise.

Got to say it's slightly dissapointing though so far with the Team GB medal tally.

..Stop living in the past with regard to North Sea Oil man. Whatever was there is nearly gone.

Again, ignorance - most available estimates claim that the remaining worth of known oil deposits runs into the trillions of dollars. That little lot shared among a population of just over 5 million instead of just under 60 million, will do us nicely.

[fountainhall]

Stop living in the past with regard to North Sea Oil man. Whatever was there is nearly gone. It's done.
I assume this is a little joke, for I'm sorry lexusgs, that's not what the oil industry says.

To try and lay this canard to rest, I have tried to get a handle on ScotlandтАЩs oil output, its annual contribution to the UK exchequer (seemingly totaling at present between ┬г15 - ┬г19 billion), the amount of oil in at present undrilled offshore fields and the costs required to develop those fields. Unfortunately, the political debate very much clouds the issue. Those in parliament in Westminster play down reserves and future revenues; those in parliament in Edinburgh offer a much rosier picture. The fact that the industry presently employs 440,000 in high paid jobs in the UK (mostly in Scotland) is rarely mentioned, and this is clearly very significant given the existing employment climate around Europe.

One impediment to further production was the UK governmentтАЩs decision in the March 2011 budget to increase the tax on oil produced to 81%. (The oil industry presently contributes about 20% of all revenues accruing to the UK government). The industry itself seems to suggest that if the tax were reduced, there would be greater incentive to develop what are now marginal fields. With investment of ┬г8 billion per year over 5 years, the industry reckons there are 24 billion known barrels of energy (split between 2/3rds oil and 1/3rd natural gas) available to be tapped. With Brent Crude now around US$100 per barrel, that ┬г40 billion investment could return ┬г1,600 billion from the oil alone тАУ without any estimate for the natural gas! More than 85% of those reserves lie in Scottish waters.

These are the oil industryтАЩs own figures from its 2011 Report (58 pages if anyone wants to go through it :mad: ). Even allowing for some exaggeration and a reduction in oil price (and assuming I have extracted the correct information), the value of the oil under the Scottish part of the North Sea is still massive.

Sorry Brisbane, he's no relation to Arthur Daley but I think there's some tie up with the newspaper - the Daley Mail.

Even though he has made an impact in national and international competitions from the age of 9, and at 14 represented Britain at the 2008 Olympics where he was Britain's youngest competitor, the youngest competitor of any nationality outside the sport of swimming, and the youngest to participate in a final - there are absolutely no "pics" to be found anywhere. The pic posted in this very thread is a fake, a doppelganger if you will.

You would be totally wasting your time going to Google, typing in his name, and clicking on images.
