RANDOM THOUGHTS

Oh how modest... not a word about your porn?

Just the kind of thing your average politician doesn't want to see.

Dunno whether that's down to the low murder rate,
or the propensity  of the DWP to get it wrong.

In our United Kingdom we seem to celebrate mainly English history.

This is true. 

It's when you have to honour the pigs that it gets really tiresome.

Well, you have to prove to the DWP that you are trying.

Yes, but these things don't make Dave look big
on the international stage.

So, getting it in perspective, it isn't exactly an empire, is it?

If only you were still PM, Mags, we'd be independent.
Or maybe not...

The reality is of course less spectacular.
There are a variety of reasons that operations don't go ahead.
Not least that people pull out at the last minute.
Fail to show for elective surgery.

This is an example of Labour running the health service in Wales.

But we all know that no matter how well they do,
 the press will always conclude that the SNP are bad.

IT'S WEDNESDAY

Tris is sick in bed, so we're afraid today's post is a collection of photographs he picked out earlier. 

Trickle up?

Well, it certainly works for some... 
and it comes with the added advantage of being able
 to call the workers scroungers... 

Yes... that's what I mean. Bet none of this lot has been down the food bank, except to open it and get a free lunch and a photo op (eh Fluffy?)

I've heard that sometimes these suits don't work
and people get horribly stung.

You are certainly making progress in that direction
But, you see, you have to get the word out that this is a broken dump
where people eat out of bins, if their town doesn't have a foodbank.
They still think the streets are paved with gold.

A visionary who was inspired at school by Charles Dickens.

Well, the answer to that is obvious.
Some people think that its wrong that it is hard to be very rich.
Obviously.

And Kez wants to move them to Glasgow?
This, of course, is just to spite the Noble Marchioness Moan, who's just
bought herself a new  balcony in London and on return to Scotland
would be plagued by insulting stuff on the internet (which of course, she can't see in England!)

Yep, that's her. And she's in the legislature.
I hope SHE doesn't "steel" anything.
It's mainly gold in there.
But clearly we can expect her to stand up for  the
Human Rights Act.

Ah, it's all in the interpretation of the figures.

I'd say, yes, I've been trying to tell people that for years.

There's no doubt about it, the Euro was a failure.
You can't have a single currency in widely differing economies.
But, you have to ask if printing money is really the answer to financial crises.

OK Jeremy, I'll try really hard not to call any of your colleagues
scroungers, shirkers or skivers.
It's hard though, because all the other adjectives I can think of for them
are a bit rude for a blog read by children.

SNAPS (AND A VIDEO) ON SUNDAY

Our man from America, Danny, sent me this little piece from the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. It's interesting, because (and I'm sure our American readers won't mind me saying this) by and large the USA doesn't pay a huge amount of attention to what is happening in  minor countries in Europe. 

Ms Maddows doesn't take a side in the referendum. What she is, though, is mightily impressed with the massive turnout potential that we have. 

**********

Harry Burns is Professor of Global Health at Strathclyde
and was Chief Medical Officer for Scotland until April this year.

I wonder if this is the bus to Broughty Ferry
Strange, no one around. Where's the  driver?
Sarwar?

Local pub with yes stickers outside.

Go away Eton Boy

Dunno about you, but to my mind there is something
repulsive about a Labour Lord.

Better Together with the Klu Klux Klan. I kid you not.

Well, not really "at last".
 We always knew it.

No wonder he's with Johann, Jim  and Sarwar.

I doubt she could tell you how many eggs make six
Unless one of her spin doctors clued her up on it first.
Not one of life's great intellects oor Mags.

Well you shop there if you want to.
I'll be at Morrisons or Aldi

Ticket for Sarwar?

Denmark votes on Scotland being admitted to the Nordic Council

He isn't a journalist any more. He's Cameron's fag.

They have lost all credibility

And the worst of these is BBC News.

Oh heavens, NOOOOOO Thanks
Off you go to Mars and save their world

Better Together with this lot of old bigots

Simples. Probably too hard for Darling or Osborne
or their wee puppy, Alexander

This is probably what they should all have said
Price depends of taxation; wage costs;
distribution costs and shareholder demands.
Apart from the shareholder demands, all of these are unknown
at present and will be until after the first election.

SNAPS ON SUNDAY

See, that's how easy it is to change things.

Thanks Denmark, we will look forward to that.

Yessing in Dundee.

You can tell a lot about people by the company they keep!

The Lemon Disorder...

Now they look like such nice people ...
Britain First?

And so law abiding.

The Klu Klux Klan.... wow

Has anyone mentioned the royals. Prince Philip is Greek
Does that mean the next king will be a ....foreigner?

Awwwww...paeur wee sconnie.

That's something to look forward to.
Wonder how big the food banks will be then.

So, it's iceberg either way...

Proud boast, Tubby...

Oh wait... he's the Middle East Peace Envoy... How could that be?

Now they may not be traitors to their country, but to the people
who voted for them, they most certainly are.

Oh dear...any comment Alistair? 

Yes... it will Alaan... You ever thought of politics for a career?

Thank heavens someone has pointed that out.
We people  to whom it was supposed to trickle down
have know that for some while.

Absolutely right. How dare they do this?

Oh dear... what happens if Russian warship looms...? Oh yeah, they send someone
from England and it only takes a couple of days to get here.

To see yourself as others see you...

Aye, No thanks indeed...

If it ain't broke....

How quickly people become Scottish when they haven't quite made it.
