If he had the brains of a squashed flea he would realise that he COULD win in 2015 and more than likely for DECADES to come all he has to is one easy peasey little thing........give Scotland its INDEPENDENCE. <br /><br />Instantly he has solved the costs of Westminster, no more SCOTTISH MP's and by default SCOTTISH Lords. Secondly he has removed 41 Labour MP's, 11 Liberal Democrat MP's 6 SNP MP's for the loss of 1 Conservative MP, 59 MP's in total. This would result in the winning post for Westminster domination being REDUCED significantly. <br /><br />Instead of needing 326 MP's as he currently needs to win outright he would only need 300 MP's. Looking at the 2010 General Election result he would have an outright majority. Surely anyone with one little ounce of a brain and wanting to win General Elections MUST see that once you reduce the numbers of MP's, particularly those of your main opposition you are practically shoe horned into government for decades!Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21760433653105268092013-08-19T22:01:31.004+01:002013-08-19T22:01:31.004+01:00Now for something serious!<a href="http://www.bbc.scotlandshire.co.uk/index.php/city-news/506-where-is-johann-a-nations-concern.html" rel="nofollow">Now for something serious!</a>cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-16653105717642662362013-08-19T21:15:27.941+01:002013-08-19T21:15:27.941+01:00Lordy these people have some bloody nerve.

I reckon the Queen does have placemen in government departments, as ever though, she's untouchable.

Nicola is as sharp as a tack and she can despatch most people with her eyes closed. Sarwar, with respect to him (because I think he's a brave man) is not even as sharp football.<br /><br />I understand they are to debate welfare, so he probably feels that, because all the Scottish Labour MPs voted against the Bedroom Tax, he will be able to swing it. <br /><br />But he will need to be able to defend his boss pointing out that we are a "something for nothing country"; that Ed Balls refuses to say that he will repeal the bedroom tax; that Gordon Brown introduced Bedroom Tax for private tenants, and the dreaded murderers "Couldn't give ATOS" whose company slogan surely must be "Let's see how many sick people we can kill off today, whilst cheating the government out of some more money". <br /><br />I mean even Cameron has said that they are to lose their monopoly on killing sick people because they have overdone the cheating. <br /><br />For him to move, they must be bad. Either that or they have said that they won't be handing out directorships to ex-cabinet ministers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-45800106597891852242013-08-19T10:06:26.501+01:002013-08-19T10:06:26.501+01:00That figures!That figures!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-29799992921048644332013-08-19T08:52:00.590+01:002013-08-19T08:52:00.590+01:00Tris

He is either very arrogant or very stupid. Here is another Labour politician brought up to believe that he has a right to rule over the poor people. Will definately have to watch the car crash when the debate is on and be prepared to be told again I am too wee too poor and too stupid.<br /><br />I think the decision to celebrate WW1 when everyone else is doing nothing but respectful reflection might just backfire on the Unionists big time. If they make this a jingoistic celebration of 34 million dead I think they might just live to regret it at the polls. Other than some older people I have not heard anyone think this appropriate and why Glasgow, oh referendum. Lets throw a few wee crumbs to the jocks, bring the Queen and the union flag of shame and they will love it, BBC Scotlandshire will interview the poor folk and my money is on the baby being there. No wonder Germany is pissed, they hold Europe together econimically, they bail out stupid governments, they want to move on from the war and then there is the british or if I can say although it really should make no difference certain upper parts of the english ruling class as most english people probably find it equally disgusting as we do.<br /><br />If people actually took an interest in the influence this family has they would be pissed right off, well some people, I suppose the royalists wouldn't and there are those who would have a royal dictatorship. I have ranted a few times about the undeocratic this despicable family have and it grows even more under Cameron, where are the socialists in all this. <br /><br />Not going to bother ranting on about SDL.

I only ask out of interest geographically speaking you understand because the last time I looked at an atlas, admittedly not recently, both Blackburn and Sunderland were in ENGERLAND!<br /><br />The fact that the photo only shows EDL marchers at yesterday's meander tells me one thing. Scotland is NOT an Independent country but is in fact just a COUNTY of Engerland. As if to confirm this view take a wee look at a question asked of people in Govan.

Muddle and most of the liberals will be toast if there is ever another real UK election in Scotland, which I most fervently hope there will not be. <br /><br />It should be a laugh watching daft wee Sarwar get taken to pieces. I expect Nicola will want assurances from him that Labour will rid the country of these horrific laws, and of course he won't be able to give it, being a ting cog in teh wheel.<br /><br />If Moore was a walkover, Nicola could probably take Anas to pieces while doing the Herald Cryptic, shopping for her groceries and writing a novel in Ancient Greek.<br /><br />As for Charlie, he should be warned that the popularity of the royal family is dependent on them not being in a position to be blamed for any of the catastrophes that are so often the fault of those who govern. Opening things and saying a few words rarely causes seething hatred in people.<br /><br />He should remember how quickly a person like Blair can change from being much loved to being roundly hated. <br /><br />The queen has never had to face that.

I guess...Well where do I start with this Tris. LOL<br /><br />I guess as Julie Andrews sang in the Sound of Music let's start at the very beginning, as good a place as any to start I guess!<br /><br />What a shocker. Conservative and Liberal Democrat representatives withdrawing from the soon to be televised debate on Welfare and Pensions. I've heard about the Tories and LieDems being "conservative" with the TRUTH but really not even having the guts to turn up and face the music is really downright cowardice of the highest degree and no mistake!<br /><br />Somehow I always thought that we were not the only people on planet Earth to be feeling disrespected by Cameron and his celebration of the START of WWI. Finally the Germans have put their head above the parapet and joined the Scots in putting Cameron in his place as a DUNCE and ignorant MUPPET!<br /><br />Is there anyone really surprised by the news that the cost of the HS2 toy train set has doubled in price BEFORE the first clod of earth has even been dug? I mean we are talking about a Westminster masterpiece, with NO consequentials for Scotland. Personally I'm only surprised it has taken so long for this news to come out.<br /><br />Finally we get around to Charlie Falrlie. What a MUPPET of the grandiose order. I heard the paper reviewers last night discussing this story and was less than impressed. Apparently one of them thought that as he is the next in line to the throne then he had a right to put his "placemen" into government departments so that he could learn all he can about how the country is run before he takes over the reins at Buckingham Palace. I have NEVER heard such utter s***e in all my life. I don't think I need remind anyone that his MOTHER did NOT do any such thing yet no one ever accused her of NOT learning how to run a country so what the hell is his idea. Well in my view there is only ONE reason for these "placemen", so Charlie Falrie can push his own agenda, nothing more nothing less!<br /><br />The time is well past for Charlie Farlie and his side kick Mrs Parker-Bowles to shut the **** up and disappear into oblivion!Arbroath 1320noreply@blogger.com
