In Edinburgh there are human beings talking about stuff that matters to us, and in language and with customs which are suitable to the 21st century.<br /><br />In London there are strange people who are above the law using daft customs, using strange titles, in a privileged royal palace... and it means nothing to me... particularly as about 75% of what they discuss doesn’t have anything to do with our country.<br /><br />Freedom’s coming, I know it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-5944582739042560902010-03-12T17:47:37.437+00:002010-03-12T17:47:37.437+00:00Ah'm no sayin' the Holyrood Hoose is perfe...Ah'm no sayin' the Holyrood Hoose is perfect. Ah'm sure it has its faults. But the tone was set by Big Henry McLeish and Big David McLetchie. Efter that ye wid get the message, nae fiddlin' here.<br /><br />Ah hope that's how it is. But mair than that, it feels mair accessible, closer, mair familiar than Westminster. The language an' customs o' that place distance it fae us, nivver mind the 500 miles.<br /><br />Ah've often wondered if we wid have an Upper Hoose efter we get Independence. Mibbe, like a senate, wi' mibbe two dozen auld folk like Margo or wee Davey Steel, daein' whitever scrutinising wis needed. But then, a lot o' countries get by wi' just one hoose, so it's no a neccesity.<br /><br />Ah don't know, lotsae questions.Sophia Panglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089164117446635962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-32489483741050709902010-03-12T17:46:43.313+00:002010-03-12T17:46:43.313+00:00Munguin:

I seem to remember...<br /><br />They should all be done, but it seems that they have watertight cases, and are to ge away with it.<br /><br />I guess you are right. Gunpowder is the only answer.<br /><br /><br />Och well, it's time I was having something to eat....<br /><br />Hope thay thongs arnae ower muckle bather tae ye.

Reform is desperately needed when people like Jim Devine think that they are better than the rest of us to such an extent that they can employ an ancient statute (that never even applied to Scotland) that was intended to protect parliamentarians from an arbitrary king after they got shot of James II and asked William and Mary to become joint sovereigns. The idea was that there would be a list of what was expected from a constitutional monarchy. I am sure that thievery was not intended.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21265152761670602372010-03-12T17:29:12.335+00:002010-03-12T17:29:12.335+00:00Once again tho, ah have tae admit tae feelin' ...Once again tho, ah have tae admit tae feelin' a wee bit uncomfortable.<br /><br />(shoogle)<br /><br />That's better, see thae thongs?
