RANDOM THOUGHTS

From Speech

Cameron: "We've already got technical colleges run by great companies like JCB... ...I say: let’s have one of those colleges in every single major town."

Since David Cameron became leader of the Conservative party it has received a total of £1,973,937.89 in donations from JCB's Chairman Sir Anthony Bamford, as well as from JC Bamford Excavators Ltd and JCB Research.

(Not the first time this man has been mentioned in a Cameron speech. I' wonder at his judgment.)

From STN News

Harry Smith: What about the argument that you are the head of the government that is putting a lot of resources, a lot of money, a lot of civil servants’ time into producing arguments in support of the union, and therefore you should explain why to those who will vote at the referendum.

David Cameron: I think the right place to do that is in the Westminster Parliament where I am open to question by Scottish MPs, those who want Scotland to leave the United Kingdom, those who want Scotland to stay, every Wednesday, 12 o’clock, do tune in, and I am open to question by them all the time. The real question is for the Scottish people, do they want to stay or do they want to go? That is where the debate should take place, between the people with a vote.

(In short you are scared of a face to face with a better man with a bigger intellect and superior vision.)

From Yes Scotland

Westminster almost unique in its failure to ensure revenues from finite oil and gas reserves are invested so future generations can benefit too

An independent Scotland could have built a fund worth £100 billion by now, but with North Sea remaining productive for decades to come, a great opportunity remains.

(Imagine what we could have done with £100 billion)

And how about this little gem from Cameron?

Cameron: "HS2 is about bringing North and South together in our national endeavour. Because think of what more we could do with the pistons firing in all parts of our country. With its wind and wave power, let’s make the Humber the centre of clean energy.

"With its resources under the ground, let’s make Blackpool the centre of Europe for the shale gas industry. With its brains and research centres, let’s make Manchester the world leader in advanced materials. We're building an economy for the North and South, embracing new technologies, producing things and selling them to the world."

(So, London and Leeds are the south and north of the country. And... producing things and selling them to the world? What planet is this idiot on?)
