Town sealed as G8 violence erupts

Hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police and attacked shops and other businesses ahead of the G8 summit in Scotland.

The violence saw running battles being fought with police as groups of demonstrators smashed cars with iron bars and hurled bricks through the windows of a Burger King in the Springkerse retail park on the outskirts of Stirling.

The major road through central Scotland, which leads to Gleneagles where world leaders were gathering, was brought to a standstill as protesters staged blockades. Auchterarder, the nearest town to Gleneagles, was sealed off by police after being targeted by protesters ahead of a march which will be attended by thousands of people.

Che I don't know whats going on there but a few pictures of people NOT doing something proves NOTHING. Violence and vandalism could be rampant and it would still be possible to get such pics. The lack of pics showing violence or vandalism would be more convincing than any number of pics showing a peaceful demonstration

Its easy to see then why the Europeans took over the world, while the Canadians remain subjects of a European monarch.

Quebec is perhaps the most boring province in Canada, what are you talking about it?

Quebec is the annoying teenager daughter of Canada, sucking up its parents money and threatening to run away from home if they don't get what they want RIGHT NOW.

Why is Quebec interesting?

Is it because they speak a dying language? Is it because they think they're independent, when they're not?

The Rockies are more interesting than anything Quebec has to offer. The most boring vacation in my life was to Montreal and Quebec City, even Arizona was more interesting.

That's nothing to be proud of, actually.


So the mark of an interesting country is having a bunch of unemployed/unemployable bums trashing one of your cities?

I dont know what you did in Montreal....

but it has:

A vibrant night life,

a european culture,

with many lively minority communities,

the biggest music festival in North America,

a pretty darn good comedy festival,

many other festivals

despite losing the Expos, we do have a a good sports community.

And more!

I've traveled Canada. Its a great country. Quebec is not the most boring. Thats a rediculous statement.

The people of Canada are more free than the people of America. "Sovereign republic" is a joke when the people are oppressed and kept in a state of fear and anxiety over the next pending "terrist attack".

Some people just aren't smart enough to realize that, apparently.

Depends-- do you require drive-by shootings and the constant threat of a mugging for a place to be exciting?

Sorry -- just trying to get in a New York state of mind
