I wonder if his political hero is still Harold MacMillan? These days his shrill and shrewish diatribes make him sounds so much more like Michael Howard in his “liberal” opinions of The Duke of Wellington’s traffic cone than he does Kier Hardie. Clearly joining the ranks of the “socialists” has not allowed Dean to grow his funny bone other than in terms of his erstwhile political hero. Let’s get rid of the statue and keep the traffic cone I say! They didn’t have the nerve to put a statue of that other useless Tory Prime Minister Winston Churchill up in our cities and according to himself he won a world war!Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-4772837553555465252013-11-15T14:19:16.179+00:002013-11-15T14:19:16.179+00:00I really don't think it's an unreasonable ...I really don't think it's an unreasonable question.<br /><br />We have the right to know if his research is genuine or politically motivated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-76825006926942227752013-11-15T14:16:54.257+00:002013-11-15T14:16:54.257+00:00Dean:

He was even against the tiny increase in franchise offered by the 1832 reform Acts and tried to block them. He was an aristocrat, born of an Irish Earl. His Tory party's constant rejections of the Whig reforms passed in the commons and rejected by the lords, caused constitutional crises and left King William having to overrule parliament and appoint a Whig government.<br /><br />On seeing the increased number of supposedly “lower orders” in parliament, after the election, the snob said: “I have never seen so many terrible hats!” (Sounds like one of my aunts!)<br /><br />He was educated at Eton. <br /><br />He had no time for ordinary people, and described the British soldier as the "scum of the earth".<br /><br />He did win the Battle of Waterloo, for which he was made a Duke (he was only an "Hon", being a 4th son of an Earl).<br /><br />That is even more ridiculous given that he didn't actually win the Battle per se. It pleased British propaganda to imply that, but in fact, reading the order of the battle it appears that, had the Prussians not arrived and attacked the French from the other side of the battle field Napoleon’s army would have won. Of course it could never be admitted that we had required the help of mere Prussians to win the battle.<br /><br />I wonder why the statue was ever erected.<br /><br />He was a very very unpleasant man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-45839202760604313262013-11-15T13:59:42.874+00:002013-11-15T13:59:42.874+00:00This is McCarthy style attempts to discredit respe...This is McCarthy style attempts to discredit respectable academics ahead of the plebescite. 1950s US style tactics, disgusting antics from separatists:<br /><br />http://archives.slc.edu/exhibits/mccarthyism/images/AcademicFreedom_AmericanLegionMagazine_small_003.jpgDean MacKinnon-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221192592535723681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-47261230768906187652013-11-15T12:39:05.820+00:002013-11-15T12:39:05.820+00:00You missed an important distinction.

Shona Robison, who commented merely pointed out that it might be a bit off for a Professor (Chris Wately) to attend a BT meeting when he's supposed to be over seeing a study on the referendum. (Although its not clear in what capacity he attended - as an avid supporter or for research purposes - some seriously boring research if it was...)<br /><br />Also...<br /><br />As far as I can tell from the telegraph article, I don't think thumbscrews were deployed, or anyone was herded into cattle trains by people wearing comically long black trench coats, pince nez eye glasses while clicking their heals. Or indeed, any Jewish people were rolled up and taken away to forced labour camps or worse... I also don't think Shona Robison invaded Poland, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Balkans, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece - bits of Africa and the middle east and formed an alliance with Fascist Italy and a cheeky little concordat with Imperial Japan (Land of the rising sun.)<br /><br />No, I've checked and Shona Robison (so far) hasn't done any of that.<br /><br />(One could say, your comment was a desperate bid to implicate the SNP and/or Shona Robison in some concocted mischief against those poor souls representing better together. I mean its not like any one wishing to question assertions made by supporters of the union - say - on Facebook or on other online forums (LabourHame for example) haven't had comments removed/edited/ignored... I mean that never happens at all does it... Dr Elliot Bulmer certainly agrees, because Blair McDougall rent-a-gub in-chief had no problem with him expressing a view on independence in a news paper some time ago...)<br /><br />I'm just saying... ;-)pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-81729529135075413712013-11-15T12:28:02.867+00:002013-11-15T12:28:02.867+00:00Dean
