Worth watching once you get over the presenter’s pomposity… actually makes some horrifying accurate points about Northern Britain

Why can’t you make links active so I don’t have to copy and paste? Why? Why? Why?
At 9:00 mins, my sisters hoose is on it!
Aye, I’ve seen him present before and the initial hatred eventually dissolves into a humorous appreciation.
cos the software you made this website with is shit. It’s not user friendly at-all for non-geeks.
Lumphinians gets a good showing towards the end. Rosnol Printers. The Goth. It actually looked like more of a shithole than it does in the flesh on the TV.
Kneejerk reaction to the presenter is that he’s taking the piss out of us (which he is) but his point extends to the political and social circumstances which created the mess Scotland is in and the stupidity of Scottish nationalism. Good programme. But surely there’s more scummy pplaces in the West they could have used. I mean for fricks sake, they only had to travel a few miles up the road to Ballingry to get an even worse place. And then of course there’s they awful widtink cunts up in Methil. Bastards.

Everybody else seems to be coping fine. I think you may be confusing the terms non-geeks and idiots.
“stupidity of Scottish nationalism”
Are you doing your PR spin malarky for free these days? Why do you fear democracy?
What does Scotland have to gain by becoming independent?
