It wanted someone left of centre.<br /><br />Scottish Labour seemed to see that. Even the not too overly bright Curran got the message that the working Scottish man wanted left of centre policies.<br /><br />So instead of electing a left of centre leader, they chose a hard line right winger, who despite 15 years of Blairite rantings and running up and down the country painted red white and blue for half of last year announced himself to be a socialit, and a proud patriotic Scot and no unionist.<br /><br />Struth! It's like he said to them... look, leave it to me. I know they think I'm a right wing nut job, but I'll tell them I'm not. They will believe me because I'm trustworthy Jim, and they are all thick neds.<br /><br />And all us Neds thought... Get off Jim, yer having a laff.<br /><br />Then he announced he was the boss, and no one was telling him what to do.<br /><br />The various and sundry big wigs from London came up and told him what to do.<br /><br />Sheeeeeeesh.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-65473606916272646392015-04-28T20:47:06.345+01:002015-04-28T20:47:06.345+01:00Good article Niko.

It seems the interest accruing will soon take all of our taxes and we won't have any to spend on anything else (except Trident, I assume).<br /><br />I though we already had deflation, albeit by 0.2%. If it gets much worse than that they will have to do something to get people buying.<br /><br />I'm not about to buy a new car, carpet, mower, holiday, when it will be cheaper next year!<br /><br />Under employment is a huge problem, as is the ridiculous minimum wage which, even in the cheapest part of the country you couldn't hope to live on.<br /><br />Rents some times for slum properties increase on the basis that they will be paid by the government. Strangely a lot of the landlords are Tories or Ukippers. <br /><br />And still, for all that, we have to have a nuclear deterrent, while Germany manages fine without one.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-31883627803875644192015-04-28T20:34:17.247+01:002015-04-28T20:34:17.247+01:00Couldn't ask for a better boss Jim...

He runs his own small business and very much into current affairs and politics.<br /><br />He is going to vote for the SNP this time around. He sees through all the patronising pap that politicians like to push during a campaign, but takes time to examine the policies. He doesn't like all the SNP's policies, but sees them as the better choice. One of the main factors he told me, without me asking, is Murphy. That shows what a poor - disastrous? - choice Murphy is.<br /><br />Politicians should also remember who pays their wages, and that they are responsible for all citizens of the UK. Their role is not to play the "Big Man". <br /><br />Last year I saw Vince Cable about to go into a building. He held the door open for people coming out at lunchtime. That is how you should behave.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-84626504549602904282015-04-28T19:14:10.423+01:002015-04-28T19:14:10.423+01:00Off to the gym eh?

The ONS published a GDP growth rate of 0.3% for the first quarter of 2015, less than a third of the growth rate of the economy when they inherited it in the second quarter of 2010. Remember Cameron, Osborne and Clegg’s demonstrably untrue claims at the time of the 2010 general election, that the economy was bankrupt and comparable to Greece’s? Well, if that was the case then, surely we are even more like Greece now.<br /><br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/28/official-voters-hurting-george-osborne-spin-ons-growthNikostratoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581441869560921339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-62202472450473870362015-04-28T17:32:36.862+01:002015-04-28T17:32:36.862+01:00Yes Fergus.
