I can see Dave in Downing Street getting drummed out of the clan quite soon..
I suppose we should prepare for a shit-storm of anti SNP propanganda, as the establishment try to head-off any chance Alex Salmond guiding his party to a successful referendum result (when ever it takes place and what exact form it will take)
I like the way Eck is demonised as a slavering zealot who wants to break up the UK.
What part of ‘Scottish National Party’ don’t these people get? How can it be a surprise that the central plank of it’s very existence is ‘Independence’
Ponder a moment at the fact that the SNP managed to get a MAJORITY in the Holyrood Parliament – which was pretty much designed by Donald Dewar et al to have a proportional basis that would pretty much mean such a situation would not happen.
Let the plain fact sink in that the SNP stated in their manifesto that they would stage a referendum in the second half of the parliament, so why does Davie Boy want to bounce us into having it earlier?
Craig Murray says his piece quite well and the comments thread is also quite absorbing.
I particularly liked the line…..‘The Lib Dems have become, as a party, lying, deceitful, untrustworthy bastards’
Alex Salmond – my third favourite Jambo – after The Auld Reekie Ranter and Adullamite
While the ‘Daily Mail’ reader whines about the cost of Scotland to the English it is clear there are two reasons for ‘Dave’s’ worry. One is he does not wish to be responsible for the breakup of the UK and the other is he needs Scotland’s financial input. English independence is a growing undercurrent down here, and few really understand how important Scotland is to the UK. In fact most do not ever think of Scotland as anything but a tourist place way up north.
Uh! What financial input?

Er, how many Jambos do you know, Ken..?
You can’t get away from the fact that Salmond is trying to influence the vote in his favour in any way he can. Its not random he chose 2014, i.e. Commonwealth Games – Ryder Cup- 700th Bannockburn celebration all things to bring out patriotism in the Scottish people.
There was an impish suggestion the Alex was timing the referendum to co-incide with Thatcher’s funeral
The paradox is that whilst the Scottish electorate have realised that there is only one party remotely capable of forming a government here, I wonder if they have quite sold their central plank?
