snp haggis
Funny that first picture looks like Wendy Alexander giving a lecture.
ReplyDeleteA wee birdy tells me she is going to be in this weeks Sunday Mail.
Page '3'!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I won't lie, I got to Swiss and thought 'where the fu~@ is he going with this?' :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Niko!! :¬))
ReplyDeleteLooks like her Billy?... It IS her, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAye CH, but her mouth is on pages 2 and 4 as well....
ReplyDeleteYou wondered Dean... how do you think I felt?
ReplyDeleteTris,
ReplyDeleteFunny, I'm laughin my ass off. NOT.
This crap can only be wrote cos of your lot slaightering the economie, as Balls says, there is no deficit problem - its all Torie lies.
ReplyDeleteOf the British two one is called Dave and one Nick and between them they have a whole pile of sheep and pigs to run the rest of the farm!
ReplyDeleteThere is a baldy one in charge at the moment who has some broken clockwork planes to play with!
Still, one of the British cows will get a state funeral.
ReplyDeletePeter... I almost never delete posts, but I don't want that kind of language on the blog. You can say what you like about the SNP and their policies, and you are welcome to do it here, but do it without the C word.
ReplyDeleteIf you don’t find my blogs funny or informative, then feel free to ignore them and move on to the next one.
Your deficit denial is rubbish. Even Ed has admitted that they got it wrong, that there would have to be drastic cuts in public expenditure, just not as much and not as quick.
I think your Liam Byrne made it pretty clear.
However, I agree that the Tories are using it as excuse to slash and burn the public services in England. The SNP are, where possible, retaining the kind of services that the English could only dream about....water, students, old people, non nuclear, etc.
It was your party that brought in a merchant banker to design its social security system on the basis of money not need. It was your party that allowed bankers free reign.
Don't talk to me about the "Tartan Tories"; you people are "Red Tories".
If we had independence, you would never live under another Tory government.
Ha ha... very good Munguin. I guess it's a mushroom farm, and we are the muchrooms.
ReplyDeleteLOL, John, yes. I should imagine that Dave would be even less able to resist the demands of the Thatcher family to hold this great event, and bring the racist daughter and the mercenary war funder son with the undeserved title together with the head of state to celebrate the life of the Great Dear Leader.
ReplyDeleteI think they should have the funeral in Scotland. After all it’s only fair that her Scottish subjects should have the opportunity to give her a send off fitting the level of esteem in which she is held in this country. It would also handy to have her tombstone in St Giles so that we could have easier access to it.
That cow is soooo sweet ! lol Stick a red rosette on it and we'll find a safe seat in South lanarkshire for it.
ReplyDelete£4,800,000,000,000 What do you call that then Peter? That is £4.8 trillion the debt that Labour has left the country in bankruptcy with. Don't give us the recession drivel either because that came at the end of their term in government and only accounted for £200,000,000,000 or £200 billion of that total.
ReplyDeleteOh and don't forget that Labour were caught out last week having tried to bully the IMF into lying about Labours shambolic handling of the economy and the huge debt. Plus the fact they were giving the IMF cooked figures to try and make things look better.
It does not matter what the government cuts or taxes it will not get anywhere near covering the interest on this debt so things are going to continue to get grimmer in the future.
C word Tris? Did he mention "Conservative"?
ReplyDeleteLabour London HQ: I think it's already a sitting member, although it may recently have been Moooved to "another place".
ReplyDeleteThe place is in the pan Billy... and that's not the frying pan.
ReplyDeleteNow Conan, you know if he'd gone that far I'd have banned him.
