Simple? Scotland has its own independent and in parts clearly different judicial system with own jurisdiction. The law of Scotland is not a pure Common Law system, but a mixed system.

Since the first word was Belfast!

The Belfast Agreement concerns NI. Not Scotland.

Already done.

True. But you replied to a post which was on topic.

The EU is facing this particular problem of corruption head on because it has been exposed and has no other course.

The British 'negotiators' were hopeless and didn't use anything, especially fishing wrongs.

Well done. I was waiting for someone to mention the "drill" word. Timely abandon ship drills, if carried out properly, would immediately highlight any shortfall of lifejacket numbers and other safety equipment. Regular drills should be second nature to sailors and marines. You are right, most ships these days are required to carry at least 100% personal floatation devices by SOLAS regulations, (many carry 200%). However, the RTN is a military service and it will have its own regulations. But as a naval vessel, this ship will have carried an extra marine detachment quite regularly, so provision for extra equipment should have been part of the vessel's own safety plan. I really hope and pray that they can save some more lives today.

Figures. Better steer clear of the DIY A bomb construction vids.

I can't believe someone actually penned that rot. And who might they be?

Could be both. But if boxes made only of Styrofoam were used to store the life vests, then that could be why there may not have been enough of them when needed.

Navies use specially adapted PFDs (personal flotation devices) for submarine crews. No excuse for insufficient lifejackets or other buoyancy devices.

Just to put things in perspective a bit.

Well H&M certainly seem to be making a lot of bread out of this circus.

No doubt IYOO.

All that scene needs is a castle!

Then tell yer mates and have them voted out next time so you can stop whinging.

I bet you don't have a link to back all that carp up!

Maybe you should subscribe to Grazia?

Does He have to pay double too?

All they have exposed is their extreme hypocrisy.

It says when they are exposed beyond doubt, then they own up.

You may be right with your second point. But the crew list itself is not vital right now and is not likely to be released in any case - it is the numbers of missing sailors that is important and if they can be saved.

I didn't move it and I'm sure you know that..

moronic and bad taste
