Glasgow crash kills at least six: Garbage truck plows into crowd at George Square

It was ruled the world.

Perhaps it's grammar like that which caused the decline of the British Empire.

Blackleaf, I've told you repeatedly I have great admiration for the British Empire.

It's over, get it? You rule one little island and a small part of another one now. It's all the inadequate sons of great fathers can handle.

The world is facing up to a major problem with Muslim terrorists. It's not Christian terrorists that the world has a major problem with. I've told you to get out of your Left-wing bubble.

The world defined as the small part of the world Blackleaf pays attention to.

There's nothing wrong with my grammar.

It's over, get it?

Yeah. It's rather unfortunate, isn't it?

But, what with the problems the world is facing at the moment with the Muslims, I won't be too surprised if hundreds of millions of people around the world right now are crying out for the Empire's return, just as the Jamaicans are.

You rule one little island and a small part of another one now.

IslandS. Plural.

There's nothign wrong with my grammar.

Nor with your spelling, dear.

Y'know, it's this pants-pissing terror of a handful of Islamic wackos that's probably the reason the Empire fell. No backbone in its sons. Where once they stood unflinching against 10,000 Zulu warriors, and held hard against all manner of other enemies, they shriek and faint at a handful of raggedy-a$$ barbarians.

Islamic terrorism wasn't the major global problem back then in the good old days as it is now.

The driver of the bin lorry that crashed in Glasgow killing six people has admitted culpable and reckless driving in a separate incident.

Harry Clarke, 60, had his licence withdrawn for medical reasons in the months following the bin lorry crash on 22 December 2014.

He pleaded guilty to driving a car nine months later, despite knowing he was unfit to drive.

Clarke was not prosecuted over the bin lorry crash.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday, Clarke admitted driving a car on 20 September 2015 in the knowledge that he had suffered a loss of consciousness while at the wheel of a moving refuse collection vehicle the previous December.

The charge stated he also knew he had suffered a loss of consciousness or episode of altered awareness while at the wheel of a stationary bus on 7 April 2010.

He will be sentenced at a later date.

In relation to the 2014 bin lorry crash, the Crown Office insisted there was insufficient evidence to raise criminal proceedings against Clarke.

However, in a rare legal move, relatives of three crash victims sought permission from senior judges to bring charges against him in a private prosecution.

Despite that, judges at the Appeal Court in Edinburgh ruled in November last year that the family could not launch a private prosecution.

Jack and Lorraine Sweeney, 68 and 69, and their granddaughter Erin McQuade, 18, Stephenie Tait, 29, Jacqueline Morton, 51, and Gillian Ewing, 52, died in the incident.

The subsequent fatal accident inquiry heard Clarke had a history of health issues but had not disclosed his medical background to his employers or the DVLA.

It also emerged that Clarke had previously blacked out while working as a bus driver but failed to disclose it when he became a bin lorry driver with Glasgow City Council.
