(For those that don't know Mr Newton-Dunn said I was not a "bone fide journalist,' on national TV when I was reporting the prorogation case from the Court of Session, so I was just being a bit catty there)
:)
I don't speak Latin, but I assume "bone fide," means "making up stories for money."
If anyone is interested enough, I'll do a thread on what I did that annoyed Mr N-D so much.

The last big international protest in Scotland was the G8 at Gleneagles in 2005.
A couple of stories
A few of us noticed that there was always a large police presence outside Borders bookshop in Buchanan Street.
1
I asked and was told that the police had intelligence that some of the protest groups used the slogan "No Nations, no Borders," so they considered the bookshop under threat.

The second one. At the march at Gleneagles itself, a group of about 50 young people, dressed as clowns, (The Clown Army) wandered into a field outside the venue.
The next thing you know.
