<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<br /></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...Despite the purge of anyone suspect, including people who had been members for over 50 years. So first off, Congratulations Mr Corbyn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">SO NOW WHERE TO?</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where does this leave Labour?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And for us in Scotland, perhaps more importantly, where does that leave Kezia?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mtOHRXNSpJg/V-aQ6RqFEGI/AAAAAAAAfjE/ZxOrq8tH1RwIT7VkfHwXP3ad5JBkvYxqQCLcB/s1600/%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mtOHRXNSpJg/V-aQ6RqFEGI/AAAAAAAAfjE/ZxOrq8tH1RwIT7VkfHwXP3ad5JBkvYxqQCLcB/s640/%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3%25C2%25A3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will the rebels accept the 'settled will' of the membership, or what's left of it now it has been purged? Or will there be another rebellion next year? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And will they, this time, find someone a little more credible to put up as leader? (With respect neither Eagle nor Smith seemed to me to be remotely likely to win a general election. Both were decidedly third rate.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But there <b><i>are</i></b> potential leaders on the right of Labour, not least Hilary Benn or the guy that lost to Ed Miliband, his brother, David. Will someone like Benn be prepared to put himself forward, for possible humiliation, against a man who has twice won with massive majorities, in a party that seems to be set on returning to a left of centre politics? And would Miliband give up his massive salary in New York to possibly be humiliated again and be left as a mere MP on a fraction of what he now earns?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or will the right wingers leave Labour and elect their own leader as New Labour, or even New Improved Labour? (Now don't laugh. Persil has been doing it for years.) Possibly leaving the current Labour party as a rump, while New Sparkling Labour forms the official opposition, but with few members and no money.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Will Kezia be saved by the apparent fact that Scotland was the only "region" to vote for Smith? Or by the fact that in an amazing <i><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-37461892">volte-face</a></i>, she now thinks he's the man to lead Labour to a UK election win?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what will happen to the ex-Shadow Secretary of State? Will he, like his boss, (*is she his boss or is Jeremy his boss?) suck up to the man they think is a disaster, or will he remain a rebel and maybe even stand himself next year? (Well we all need a laugh!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>* Quick question to Niko: If Labour in Scotland has autonomy, and they disagree about something, what does the ex-SoS do as Scotland's only Labour MP? Is he whipped with English and Welsh MPs or as a Scottish MP of Kezia?</b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kez's speech put a brave face on it, but clearly, as the pictures show, her heart isn't in it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How long will all this mess last and what will be the outcome?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over to the brilliance of Munguin's readership...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, on a day when hundreds of desperate people died off the coast of Egypt, in foul overcrowded unseaworthy boats, and when Aleppo was ablaze (none of which, admittedly will affect the Brit government, who want no truck with these refugee types), and when a report came out highlighting the danger of "button batteries" to children, the BBC decided to lead with a piece crowing about the fact that, even though Channel Four managed to poach the 'Great British Bake Off' from them, the Great British Mary Berry is not going to leave because of "loyalty to the BBC". </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take a minute, dear Munguin readers, to dry your eyes...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>(Incidentally, nice Mary. What fun it must be, to be so rich you can afford to turn down steady work out of loyalty to Auntie.)</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't particularly want to knock the GBB. I don't watch tv, but if I did GBB would be far down on my watch list. However, I'm sure many people get a great deal of enjoyment from it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That said, everything has a place in life and surely it says something horrific about the BBC and/or the Great British public that a downmarket, cheap-to-produce tv show is more important than real news about real people's real lives <b>and their real deaths</b>.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Three Brexiteers. </span></b></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the last post Dean made some observations about Brexit and Scotland's reaction to it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this post I'd like to look at Brexit and what our response might be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Firstly, I don't think we should ever give up on what we believe in. Brexit or no, many people simply believe that Scotland is best served being governed for itself, by itself, although clearly working with other countries in international organisations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Brexit débacle may have swayed people in this in one direction or the other, of course.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's be clear, Brexit was, and is, made in a perfectly legal referendum decision, not an unreasonable aspiration. I don't knock anyone who believes in it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maybe because I see the four constituent members of the UK as separate countries with their own needs and economic and social realities, however, I think that any case that can be made for Brexit is far less compelling if you are from Scotland, or NI, or clearly, Gibraltar. London is rather different, given its status in the financial world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Different people in different countries were voting for different things. Northern Ireland for example, already marginalised by Great Britain, is worried that being outside the EU while the rest of Ireland is in it, will be damaging to its economy. It is also a recipient of a great deal of EU money which almost undoubtedly will not be forthcoming from the UK. Scotland, whilst not in the same category still profits from its membership of the EU.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the disturbing aspects of the Brexit campaign at least from the 'popular' press, and one that seemed to take root in England in particular, was a level of xenophobia, the likes of which I've never seen before. By heavens the editors of the Sun, Mail, Telegraph and Express seem to either have a visceral hatred for foreigners ... or have worked out that their readers do and from this they can make money. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course I will never give up on the idea of independence for Scotland, but like most of us, I have had to accept the will of the Scottish people in a referendum in 2014, to stay in the UK.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But it's fair to say that that vote was based on some assurances, not least one propounded by British politicians of both colours (and probably the LDs) and the EU authorities, that the only way to stay in the EU was to stay in Britain. That Scots voted 62-38 to stay in Europe is a real indicator that that was something that may have influenced them in their 2014 decision.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On our side (independence for Scotland), we have had "the settled will of the Scottish people" rammed fairly hard down our throats for some time. Fair enough. Certainly the politicians at the top, the FM, the cabinet and minister, accepted that, although they continue to work hard to persuade the Scottish people that they made the wrong choice (well the 55%). There's nothing unreasonable about that. You don't give up on a dream if at first you don't succeed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Had Nigel lost he wouldn't have said, "oh well, that's it, we'll abandon any hopes of coming out of Europe; I'll just learn French so that I don't have to shout/slur loudly at the bar staff in Brussels".</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our parliament has a majority of members who were elected on a platform that included the proposal that if there were to be a material change in the political or economic situation, then another referendum on independence was possible. Their election too, might be called the settled will of the Scottish people, as might be the 62% for Europe vote in our country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The 'settled will' in any case is not ever really <i>settled</i>, regardless of what the odious Jack Straw says (in between <a href="https://theintercept.com/2016/09/13/in-leaked-emails-iraq-war-architect-expressed-relief-that-brexit-distracted-from-u-k-war-inquiry/">celebrating </a> Berexit getting Chilcott and thus his sorry backside off the front pages almost immediately!!) He would have made it <a href="https://twitter.com/wingsscotland/status/513330684325150721">illegal</a> for there EVER to be another referendum on Scottish Independence.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Populations are changing all the time, because population is a moving thing: people come of age and people die. People arrive and people move away. It's the way of things. A 'will' in 2014 may have changed dramatically by 2019 because of a change in demographics, particularly given that</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> statistics show that the younger people tend to be much more pro-independence than older ones. So 'settled will' even a few years later, may be very different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nicola is doing the right thing in my opinion, to see if the 'will' of the Scottish people, in both referenda can be accepted: ie, Scotland remain a part of the UK and a part of the EU. That's after all what the Scots said back in 2014 and 2016.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's not as fantastical as it seems. In the Kingdom of Denmark, part is in and part out. And the Irish situation may well demand a much more flexible viewpoint, for the sake of peace or again the possibility of a part of the UK breaking away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If, as Westminster seems to be indicating it will, that fails, then the views of the Scottish people may be sought again. Not to do so would be letting down the 62% who are about to be dragged out of Europe with the attendant loss of jobs and increased costs. Particularly because of the specific promise made by UKOKers in 2014.</span><br />

He says that the Scottish government must explain what Brexit means, while Mrs May and her Three Brexiteers (Johnson, Fox and Davis) are steadfastly refusing to explain that even to their own MPs. (Maybe that's what Murdo means.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How the hell can Nicola, or the Scottish public, possibly know what it means when the folk that are supposed to be in charge won't tell us (or don't know themselves)? And how can the Scottish government plan for something that the Brits haven't sorted out? <a href="https://auldacquaintance.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/tories-plead-with-snp-to-explain-brexit/">This</a> is a good read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What the Scottish government has tried to do is establish the facts. So Nicola has been to Brussels to meet with people there. What she wanted to know was, what would this mean for Scotland...was there a possibility of <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/adam-ramsay/reverse-greenland-letting-scotland-stay">a Greenlandic solution in reverse.</a>.. and how would the EU react to Scotland if it decided independence in Europe was superior to dependence in the UK?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She seemed to get more done in the first few weeks than the mighty British government which acted like a rabbit blinded by headlights from the four winds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But of course, all negotiations must, in the end, be between London and Brussels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are dependent upon people who seem to have little regard for us, and certainly won't much care about our wishes when it comes to negotiating. To be fair they all represent English constituencies and the English population is massive in comparison to ours.</span><br />

BUT TO BE FAIR, I <i>WAS</i> WONDERING IF YOU SEE ANY IRONY, YOUR MAGNIFICENCE, IN CASTIGATING MR CORBYN FOR BEING APPARENTLY "UNELECTABLE", WHEN YOU YOURSELF HAD SUCH A STUNNING LACK OF SUCCESS IN THAT DEPARTMENT OVER A PERIOD OF 9 YEARS, AND ONLY EVER ENTERED DOWNING STREET BY INVITATION OF THE PRIME MINISTER... BEFORE LEAVING ACTUAL POLITICS TO BECOME SIMULTANEOUSLY AN UNELECTED COMMISSIONER AND UNELECTED BRIGAND, MUGGER, BRIBER AND GANGSTER?<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, dear readers, today we shall find out who will "lead" UKIP into the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some say that many people <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/711126/Ukip-beg-Nigel-Farage-spoil-ballot-papers-leadership-election">have spoiled their papers</a> and written "Come back Nigel, we love you". Well, when I say some, I think it was Nigel actually, but no matter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The UKIP conference takes place today in Bournemouth, England, and this afternoon will see its next leader announced and Nige will retire gracefully to the back seat. It promises to be exciting for them because normally their next leader has been their last leader.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr F has refused to back any of the contestants for the Great British Half Baked Off this year, but he did indicate that Channel Four might cover it next time round. He did admit that he had been dominant in the party. Looking around at others, like Lord Pearson of Rannoch, or David Coburn, <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/17/ukip-members-are-tossers-says-leader-of-ukip-in-scotland-6011602/">I can't imagine why</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Farage is still the centre of attraction, however, for today at least, and was leading a tribute to the factoid that 100 years ago the first tanks were used in the Great War. (I can't help felling that politicians have played the First World War to death for publicity.) He didn't miss an opportunity to tell anyone who was listening that Britain had centuries of experience of dealing with European tyranny. How fortunate, I thought, it is that there was never any tyranny here on these islands. Or indeed, is!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U7k18HzQRdc/V9vPDilO-tI/AAAAAAAAfcI/LIO4acRgeGUK3Noq6erURXKDFaudQQycwCLcB/s1600/0%2521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U7k18HzQRdc/V9vPDilO-tI/AAAAAAAAfcI/LIO4acRgeGUK3Noq6erURXKDFaudQQycwCLcB/s640/0%2521.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In any case, I digress. It seems to me looking at this list of policies, that maybe they could save a bit of money and just appoint Theresa May as their new leader. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After all, it's pretty much a part time job, and all the time that Farage spend drinking smoking and carousing, Mrs May could spend running the Tories. All she would have to remember would be that when she had a purple leopard skin shoes on she was in favour of people being able to park for free in hospitals, and when she had her blue hat on, she expected them to be dropped at the hospital door by the chauffeur.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope it is her, because I've never heard of any of the other contestants and i can't be bothered learning a new name.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">...CALL ME DAVE CALLS IT A DAY</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HmP6tnjokKw/V9cuO-1qhoI/AAAAAAAAfYg/WopEhzMJy3cbPRar34m1gA4Q2sCnLmS4ACLcB/s1600/%2521%25211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HmP6tnjokKw/V9cuO-1qhoI/AAAAAAAAfYg/WopEhzMJy3cbPRar34m1gA4Q2sCnLmS4ACLcB/s640/%2521%25211.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But like everything else that attends the Houses of Parliament in this antiquated kingdom, people like Eton Dave can't just resign and let his constituents down... you know, those people who bothered to vote for him back in May last year. Those people who thought he wanted to be their MP.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So people like Dave are offered a position as a sheriff and steward of some ancient Manor that doesn't exist and whose duties are zero, but the holder of which, in the mists of time that Westminster exists in, could not be both that and an MP. And so the upshot is that, without any notice at all, they get to go, complete with pensions and what have you. <i><span style="color: #274e13;">(I should say that I was under the impression that it was the Queen who did this appointing lark, but it seems to have fallen to the boring bean counter, the funeral director of Downing Street. I hope the ceremony was short otherwise everyone will have fallen asleep.)</span></i></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It serves Cameron right that he lost his job. He decided to offer a referendum on the EU, which was fairly far down most people's list of worries, in order to save the Tories from their barking mad right wing Europe haters that have been a pain in all prime ministers' backsides since Heath's day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He did it, and then told us that it could cause world war three if we voted to come out. What kind of muppet, aware of the possibility of a world war, leaves the decision that might preempt it, to untrained, unqualified people to make at the behest of batshit mad headlines in the lurid lower organs of what passes for the press in this benighted place?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cameron apparently.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This blog wishes him well in his retirement, as we would<i> almost</i> everyone. But we didn't like him. We said years ago that he would be a terrible prime minister for ordinary people, and we were right. Not half bright enough and too far removed from any notion of normality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As we predicted, he was not a success. He did nothing that was in anyway impressive. His legacy was supposed to be the Big Society. It is in fact the Broken Society.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Goodbye.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There can be few Munguin readers, I imagine, who haven't by now heard of the furore over Wings of Scotland's suggestion on Twitter that Siobhan McFadyen was<b> a disgrace</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stuart was reacting to her "pack of lies" article on the possibility of a second Scottish referendum. And she in return went ballistic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you can see, however, from the above Tweet, McFadyen seems to think it's OK for <b>her</b> to use the term <b>"disgrace"</b> in the same way.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've read the Express articles and they were, without doubt, a disgrace. They bore not even passing resemblance to the truth, and like much of the Express coverage in the run up to the European election, they could easily have been taken, particularly by the average avid Express reader, as an incitement to violence. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>(It's not any surprise that there has been a massive rise in violence towards disabled people, and foreigners of any kind, in the recent past since papers like the Express [the Daily Mail and the Sun in particular, and their Sunday issues] have run campaigns of hatred against scrounging hordes of sick, disabled and foreign people, here apparently to deprive good hard working British family folk up and down the country, of what is rightly theirs!) </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Actually, far from abuse, and this may have annoyed McFadyen more than anything else, many independentistas by way of answer posted photographs of peaceful, happy rallies, or pictures of Nicola</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> with bairns, with captions ridiculing McFadyen's piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She's become a laughing stock. Then again she works for the Express! It goes with the job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course, when a complaint is made against someone, I think that Twitter is quite within its rights to suspend that person's account while it investigates.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5VeoRHRaeO0/V9bXmeMWNeI/AAAAAAAAfYQ/D44MeSByLmIzFisApzB2yfdyWYKf-qTBwCLcB/s1600/%2521%2521%2521%2521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5VeoRHRaeO0/V9bXmeMWNeI/AAAAAAAAfYQ/D44MeSByLmIzFisApzB2yfdyWYKf-qTBwCLcB/s640/%2521%2521%2521%2521.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, it seems that Twitter isn't too good at communications. It seems near to impossible to get in touch with them. They investigate in their own good time without any interference from anyone. These of course, are the benefits of being big and powerful. I'm pretty sure that when Twitter does investigate it will reinstate Wings' account.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In fairness there have been calls from some other unionist journalists to do so. Maybe McFadyen is a disgrace even to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Stuart isn't well known for political correctness. He doesn't suffer fools gladly and he calls a spade a spade. I make no bones, sometime it makes me cringe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But he is one of the real and powerful driving forces of the independence movement. In the years he has been publishing, for all the hard stuff he's handed out to people, no one has ever taken action against him. Now one has ever sued, including lawyers who could do so at no real expense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He backs his stuff with hard facts and links to where he got them and he appears to have an encyclopaedic memory. Perhaps that's why no one sues him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How the unionists must hate him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He is quite simply, irreplaceable.</span></div>

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...or maybe said</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w6Spw0CqmKo/V9Kwib98bfI/AAAAAAAAfUg/a2bGCZW6ElA7lq2xAC6W_abYJGFJOCxrwCLcB/s1600/aaaaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w6Spw0CqmKo/V9Kwib98bfI/AAAAAAAAfUg/a2bGCZW6ElA7lq2xAC6W_abYJGFJOCxrwCLcB/s1600/aaaaaa.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was, of course, uncontrollable giggling and laughter at Mrs May's Downing Street arrival declaration of desire for a decent society, of wanting to build a country which was not driven by the interests of the privileged few, but the many; the people just managing to get by and working around the clock just to make ends meet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yeah right, we tittered, once we had calmed down. Whatever!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And who could blame us if we thought that we had heard it all before?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-75-YY-CPnuA/V9Kwp89dUMI/AAAAAAAAfUk/slzfogGk5IMSv91x4aO9naOOgPk1ISZPgCLcB/s1600/aaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-75-YY-CPnuA/V9Kwp89dUMI/AAAAAAAAfUk/slzfogGk5IMSv91x4aO9naOOgPk1ISZPgCLcB/s640/aaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg" width="567" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Because many of us remembered the words of St Francis of Assisi uttered by the sainted Margaret: ‘Where there
is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth.
Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we
bring hope’ … </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aspiration, no?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then we recall that, in fact, where there was harmony, she brought discord; where there might have been truth, she brought ..well, error is an understatement (ask the miners and Hillsborough survivors, the steel workers and just about anyone who had a job in industry); where people had believed in stuff, she brought doubt and anxiety, and for anyone who wasn't very comfortably off or didn't have sharp elbows, well, they found that there was no longer any kind of hope.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kVHI47oezUM/V9KwzgfH21I/AAAAAAAAfUo/mTcKXNbehdsiAJgvlz_oJIooj-OeMf4owCLcB/s1600/aah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kVHI47oezUM/V9KwzgfH21I/AAAAAAAAfUo/mTcKXNbehdsiAJgvlz_oJIooj-OeMf4owCLcB/s1600/aah.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The comparison with Mrs Thatcher was, of course, pretty obvious, because of their gender, I suppose. Britain's first and second female prime ministers were bound to be scrutinised for similarities. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LEVOAPS8B2w/V9KyuVwHZdI/AAAAAAAAfU4/QZiQkEw7ky0GITvcZyDvB1tC3y2n852tgCLcB/s1600/aaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="198" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LEVOAPS8B2w/V9KyuVwHZdI/AAAAAAAAfU4/QZiQkEw7ky0GITvcZyDvB1tC3y2n852tgCLcB/s640/aaa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But we shouldn't forget that Cameron promised the same sort of crap and then delivered the exact opposite. (Even his <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/sep/08/politics-by-nick-clegg-review">Deputy Prime Minister </a>admits this, although exactly why Clegg would boast about the fact that he sat on his hands and agreed to all this inhumanity, is quite belong my understanding. You'd think that devastating the Liberal Democrat representation in Edinburgh, Cardiff, London and Brussels would have been enough humiliation for any man. Still, when you have a book to sell...)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1V0t1XQnJTI/V9Kyp_GKwcI/AAAAAAAAfU0/M4xztBVHqcs45hkRItam5LWH1bCNE-aEgCLcB/s1600/aaaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1V0t1XQnJTI/V9Kyp_GKwcI/AAAAAAAAfU0/M4xztBVHqcs45hkRItam5LWH1bCNE-aEgCLcB/s640/aaaa.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't find any reference to what John Major said when he arrived at Downing Street. Probably something about being not inconsiderable pleased to have been to see her majesty and that peas for dinner would be lovely, and would the staff ask Mrs Currie to leave now please. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Possibly the Press treated it like an <a href="http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/07/watch-angela-eagle-abandoned-hacks-launch/">Angela Eagle Press conference</a>.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn't be bothered to Google what what Blair said. It would have been something sickeningly insincere, or religiously fanatical, I have no doubt! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Or maybe: Comb your bloody hair, Cheri?</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-quotes-twitter-user-in-commons-who-claimed-polish-people-hit-by-brexit-hate-crimes-could-a7230431.html">Instead of doing her job at prime minister's questions... y'know, answering questions put to her on behalf of the public by their representatives...she fancied herself as a stand up act.</a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Let's embarrass poor old Corbyn instead of answering difficult questions about Brexit, she thought to herself.</b></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Only she made a bit of a mess of it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because when she was checking out Mr Corbyn's Twitter feed to see if she could get herself some forewarning of what he was going to ask her... she found an amusing tweet from a certain <b>Mr Lewis Collins.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr Collins, suggesting a question for Jeremy to ask Mrs May, wrote: Does she know that in a recent poll asking who would make a better prime minister, "don't know" scored higher than Jeremy Corbyn.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ho Ho Ho. Ha ha ha. Point to Mrs May. Right? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well only very briefly!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8fMmlFYE04Y/V9CNx05M2AI/AAAAAAAAfUA/hDaRE9ngdM4IDbbdM5wFSWterJXrZu9ugCLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8fMmlFYE04Y/V9CNx05M2AI/AAAAAAAAfUA/hDaRE9ngdM4IDbbdM5wFSWterJXrZu9ugCLcB/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course Mr Corbyn sat and smiled politely as she said it. Maybe he knew something that, at the time, Mrs May did not.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mr Collins alerted to the fact that his question had been used... he'd hardly expect that... tweeted his pride at being quoted by her primeminsterness: "Looks like I'm famous", he bragged!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b>You are, Mr Collins, you most surely are.</b></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because it turns out that Mr Collins, maybe one of Mrs May's supporters, and a bit of a wit, may find that his 5 minutes of fame will not bring him the kudos he perhaps briefly hoped for.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Y'see, when something like this happens, people rush off to look at one's <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%40swingaleg&src=tyah">timeline</a>. And, somewhat unfortunately for everyone except Mr Corbyn, dear old Mr Collins' turned out to be somewhat less respectable than a prime minsiterial script writer might be expected to have.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NpIJLHC_3II/V9CLFzmScdI/AAAAAAAAfT4/AdUN0ZxAAXEwj-ucguL_HS_pEsiF0hOaQCLcB/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NpIJLHC_3II/V9CLFzmScdI/AAAAAAAAfT4/AdUN0ZxAAXEwj-ucguL_HS_pEsiF0hOaQCLcB/s640/1.jpg" width="510" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, clearly he doesn't overly care for Poles, as we can see from the Tweet above. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Eastern Europeans in particular have, since Brexit (whatever that means) was announced, have suffered badly at the hands of racists... including one being killed, apparently for speaking Polish to his mate. (Note to Brits going abroad: Always remember to speak the language of the country you're in, even to your Brit mates... Right? Yeah, right!)</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But Mr Collins isn't a one trick pony. Oh no, he has other unpleasant strings to his bow. If Mrs May wants some one liners for next week's PMQs she may chose from a range of other prejudices. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For example, another tweet reads "P~ss off, you feminist piece of sh~t". Is Mr Corbyn a feminist?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then he pictured a zombie and labelled it: "Migrant workers looking for ways to circumvent the Calais wall". Well, at least there are plenty of zombies in the House for her to poke fun at!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He reportedly also tweeted in support of the murdered of Jo Cox. And no one is going to amke any jokes about that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No new line or capital at "official" and fewer paragraph spaces than might have made it easy reading.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm surprised the Labour Party is making more money than them. After all <b>it wasn't</b> Mr Corbyn who was selling seats in the House of Whatsits, was it? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A while ago ago, in one of our Soppy Sundays, Juteman mentioned that he had planted a hibiscus. And smarty pants here (that'll be Tris) told him that it would never flower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He bet me that it would, and we came to an agreement that if it didn't flower he would donate to charity on my behalf, and if it did, I would donate to charity on his behalf.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So then this happened:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kj8Wx60owOk/V87kZs5pG5I/AAAAAAAAfTI/wLGfehDHOjERe5MTptKXvGoCNzk2NQtjQCLcB/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="359" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kj8Wx60owOk/V87kZs5pG5I/AAAAAAAAfTI/wLGfehDHOjERe5MTptKXvGoCNzk2NQtjQCLcB/s640/unnamed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And so Munguin accompanied me to Morrison's this afternoon and we bought some stuff for the local food bank</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are in Dundee, <a href="http://s204617846.websitehome.co.uk/food_cupboard.htm">St Salvador's</a> in the Hilltown is a good alternative to Trussel (Every Town Should Have One) Trust Food banks. Although it is run by the Episcopal Church there is no obligation on anyone to be a church member, to come to a service or indeed anything else. Need is the only criterion.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zVgHtT9J8_0/V87obJNj-zI/AAAAAAAAfTc/gP85Dagy37wNH78fDPNFNVKjm6D9zZsFwCLcB/s1600/IMG_20160906_162339700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zVgHtT9J8_0/V87obJNj-zI/AAAAAAAAfTc/gP85Dagy37wNH78fDPNFNVKjm6D9zZsFwCLcB/s640/IMG_20160906_162339700.jpg" width="359" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you want to make a donation while the church is closed, you can leave it at Maxwelltown Centre next door. They share a kitchen with the church.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hearty congratulations to Jutie for getting a Hibiscus to flower in the climate of Dundee. I shall redouble my efforts for next year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Talking of food banks the great news is that Mark Frankland's First Base food bank in Dumfries has reached <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/MarkSimonFrankland">close to his target of £10,000</a> (indeed with tax relief the sum is actually over the £10,000 mark).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fantastic news. Congratulations Mark!</span></div>
