It has politically awakened the entire nation. UK election turnout in 2010 was around 65 per cent while the turnout for the Scottish Parliament elections in 2011 was only 50 per cent, but there is reason to believe that...

Sport News 24/7 By Mike Deverell That might seem like the knee jerkiest of knee jerk reactions. Two draws and one defeat, seven goals scored, including matches against two of last season’s top four, is certainly not disastrous.
