    Meanwhile in Scotland

    Couple 'attacked by mob' as they closed their takeaway shop | Edinburgh & East | News

    A Scots couple have been violently assaulted by a gang outside their takeaway in Fife.

    Mohammed Khalid and his wife run the Caspian Fast Food outlet on Wellesley Road in Methil.

    They were set upon by a group of around 15 people in the early hours of Sunday as they closed up.

    Mr Khalid, 53, required hospital treatment for a serious injury to his eye and his wife suffered minor injuries as she tried to help him.

    The couple claim the men involved in the attack repeatedly cited the Paris terrorist incidents, Islamic State (IS), terrorism and subjected them to racist abuse.

      I remember being on the bus a few weeks after the London 7/7 bombings and this Asian lady started fumbling noisily with her backpack. I sat there thinking "Would it be bad form at this juncture for me to leg it off the bus just on the off chance?".

      But I suppose at least I stopped short of joining a marauding pack of buckfast-fueled pillocks.

        This time they are just photoshopping them.

            And here was me thinking presumption of innocence was part of our legal system.

            Still, it's Methil.

                I can remember the whole class recreating the Raid on Pebble Island in the playground. I.e. a big fight.

                  Doesn't worse happen all the time to any English in Scotland?

                    Don't be so PC. Anyone with any sense can tell these foreigners are up to something just by looking at them.
