Re: 2015 UK Election

Could you expand on your answer? Are you saying they wouldn't have an appetite for conservative governments either?

Re: 2015 UK Election

At the risk of provoking a groan, is it possible that the answer is the dissolving of the political union of the UK so that we can live and trade side by side with separate governments which speak appropriately to the people of each country? So if we accept that Scotland will always have political ...

Ha. I click onto facebook after posting and see the following.

Clearly a well understood failure.

Guaranteed to fall on deaf ears though.

Re: 2015 UK Election

I think it's fair to say that the result is less a win for the Conservatives and more a huge loss for Labour, and proves the point I've continuously made that there just isn't the appetite for a Labour government with the party in its current state. To lose seats after 5 years of "Tory cuts&qu...

Incidentally, I'm not sure some of our non-Scottish members have had the pleasure of the full-on Jimbo experience. Tonight, as Sally Magnusson of Reporting Scotland makes a dogged but ultimately unsuccessful effort to get a straight answer on just about anything out of Labour’s regional branch manag...

Re: 2015 UK Election

OK then, David C can pull out a piece of paper and blame the Labour government for all the problems from 5 years ago, but it wont wash away all the broken promises and lies he made: VAT rise, doubling of the debt, getting rid of the defict within 5 years. Labour did not spend all the money, it did ...

Re: 2015 UK Election

Not really that uncommon, is it? Politicians from all parties stage manage events to stop known agitators from causing a scene.

It only becomes newsworthy when they let one through, surely?
