You do sound angry, Bruce.
I can't begin...LOL<br /><br />You do sound angry, Bruce.<br /><br />I can't begin to contemplate what will happen if there is a no vote. I guess it will depend whether is is just no, or no by a reasonable majority.<br /><br />I reckon though that they will bury their silly Tory heads in the sand and imagine that everything will be fine.<br /><br />I don't think it ever will be fine again if we have to stay. Every time they make another stupid right wing decision. Every time one of the rich ruling classes is caught with his fingers in the till, his or her snout in the trough or his trousers round his knees, we will be reminded what a bunch of rubbish run our country.<br /><br />Every time they buy new weapons of mass destruction which they put next to 2 million people's homes, or allow another city bank to make vast profits from floating some more of our family silver, or hand out contracts to the like of G4S despite obvious signs of their incompetence and fraud being investigated, we will think... WHY oh WHY did we stay...<br /><br />As for the moment...yes, it is hot. For the next few days all we will hear is this crap about another royal sponger being wished upon us for us to keep, what weight it will be and how many titles it will have from the moment it draws breath.<br /><br />Yep...

I think if the English truly want a parliament of their own then they have to force the parties to implement a federal system if it's a no vote next year. If there is no vote then it has to be federalism or devo max, in the event of a no vote with no change, then everything stays the same whether they like it or not. That is a bad enough thought as it is given a stupid no vote will result in another 20 years of Tory government propped up by the right and more of the slow death of Scotland. You just worry about how thick people are in the UK and in particular Scotland are about politics. People moan about the system then vote Labour without ever trying to understand what the system does and what people stand for, makes me sick. It's hot today and I am cranky.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
