@rd2uk: Only 5%? NPR certainly made it sound like BNP was getting much more support these days. Then again, they were down in England doing their reports.
@wednesdayam: I think 5% is considered a lot because of their platform (despicable, really) and also (i think) because theyve gained a lot of support in a very short time. Its very scary to see them gaining momentum so I can kind of see why NPR would make it sound like they're getting much more support - I mean, 5% doesnt sound like much, but in this context it's (imo) kind of a huge deal #scotlandelection
@rd2uk: I agree with the despicable part of it. Feeding off underlying racism to try to get in power is pitiful and wrong in every way. I hate that in any politics, but in my crazy American head, I always thought the folks in the UK were smart enough not to fall for that kind of nastiness. #scotlandelection
@wednesdayam: i guess there are close-minded/ignorant/hateful people everywhere. I'm from Georgia, now living in the UK, and see pretty much the same kind of ignorance here - just directed towards slightly different groups and with different accents. #scotlandelection
I looked at this for a minute (or three) and wondered why the sign was in English and not Russian. Idiot, Glasgow is not Moscow.
It is so time to go home. #scotlandelection
An old lady with a bun! I didn't think they existed anymore outside of children's picture books. That is awesome. Also note the very stylish coat and scarf. #scotlandelection
Maybe they are all having a meal at Pizza Express? Or getting a Classy Chick wrap at Butler's? Or, or, a pint at The Central? Oh, St Andrews, I spent three years in your loving embrace. Also, if Pizza Express is still there I will be surprised. Anyone? #g20scotland
St. Andrews!!! Oh how I love you so (I did my JYA there). I totally know where this is. But honey, there is no way the summit is in or near that square, they are probably at the Old Course Hotel, on the other side of town. #g20scotland
@hfree: ha ha, I know right where it is too! By the public pay toilets! (My kids play on that wall every time we are in St Andrews.) You are right, it is unlikely the g20 is going to meet outside the public loos. :) #g20scotland
I love that Scottish protesters are more fashion forward than Americans. We may have them outnumbered, but they can coordinate circles around us. #g20scotland
@Cairn: Wellies, jeans and layers and a scarf is what I wear to take my kids to school every day. Dressing for the cold and the wet is the uniform here! I'm pleased to hear someone thinks it is fashionable. :) #g20scotland

Da's boots and pants are kicking my outfit's ass. The fug sisters better not get ahold of this picture, because Suri would never wear these fuggs with this dress, this dress with this sweater, this dress without pants. I hate my mom so hard! #raflossiemouth
@sybann: I have the feeling that she at least threw a tiny little pink crocheted cap with pink crocheted puff ball ears in a river somewhere right before this was taken. #raflossiemouth
