Actually the 45 are reasonably sure they are now the 51 but well the next time and there will be, we want a better majority. Any way why should be accept a verdict reached through cheating and actually the one and only thing that the SNP and Alex did wrong,was not to call a halt to the referendum when Devo Max was raised. I seem to remember being on the comments pages of the Independent when Mr Cameron was supposedly to have dished the SNP by removing it from the ballot paper.<br />I would not crow too much Bob, the English will actually win their independence from Europe in 2017 will win the skirmish and with the law of unintended consequences lose the war.<br />Cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930463301985234273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-26300614089969177002014-11-15T09:16:57.742+00:002014-11-15T09:16:57.742+00:00Ah, good auld Geordie and his brain, Fifi le Bonbo...Ah, good auld Geordie and his brain, Fifi le Bonbon.

Then he used Brown , as opposed to Darling (who had made a mess of it all, because he looked and sounded like a Tory) to put the message over to the jocks. <br /><br />Federal was the word Brown used, saying that he had the backing of the prime minister.<br /><br />Needless to say Cameron is a liar, Miliband is a liar and Brown is a liar...<br /><br />I've yet to see it confirmed that Alex will go to London, or rather stand for London.<br /><br />Perhaps you could elaborate on how he "single handedly" cocked up the process?<br /><br />Perhaps you know something about the handing out of English gold in London. I know that if you are a banker, a lord or an MP or a member of the royal family, you can get your hands on vast amounts of taxpayers money... but there are soem members of the parliament who don;t cheat... Dennis Skinner for example, comes to mind.<br /><br />In the expenses scandal unearthed by the SNP hating Telegraph, it was noted that Salmond had on two occasions taken his food payments for weeks when he was not in London. He repaid the money.
