Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Have your say!

THE Labour party in Scotland faces near annihilation in the next general election, according to the latest Ipsos Mori poll.

Labour in Scotland would be left with just four Scottish seats if there was a General Election now, according to new IPSOS Mori poll commissioned for STV.

The Ipsos Mori survey shows Labour would poll 23 per cent of the Scottish vote, a level of support that translates to just four seats in Scotland.

In comparison, support for the SNP has surged to 52 per cent, giving them a projected 54 of the 59 Scottish seats at Westminster. The Liberal Democrats would have one and the Conservative party would be left without any Scottish MPs.

CONNECT WITH THE SCOTSMAN

We may have an interesting situation if there is another hung parliament and the SNP win 54 seats. I wonder who Nicola Sturgeon would rather get into bed with, Dave or Ed?!

I hope it is not a Russian gourmet!

It could all be the start of a period of weak government.

we've already had at least 4 years of that, and arguably 12 or more

Sturgeon’s Euro gambit could galvanise another Scottish independence tilt

Nicola Sturgeon’s bid for a Scottish veto over a European exit further defines SNP politics as a Ukip-free zone

Nicola Sturgeon’s bid to let the four home nations have an individual say on whether to stay in the European Union has met with a predictably dusty response. The prime minister insisted on Wednesday there would be one UK-wide vote. The Labour party asked why, if England had no say in Scotland’s independence vote, Scotland should have an effective veto on a European one. And David Coburn, Ukip’s solitary Scottish MEP, huffed and puffed all over the Scottish airwaves asking “what part of no the Nationalists had failed to understand”.

It is the weakest PR seeking government I have known in 50 years and PR sometimes stand for per rectum.

It would be interesting to see UK outside the EU and Scotland, Wales and NI
inside the Union!

All three would require life support from day one.

Plus, England would have to agree (if still in) and that would be very unlikely.

We would just construct border controls and define any not ethnically Welsh or Scotland twice the rate value for their second homes and £300 a years for a visitors visa.

And we wouldn't play England at rugby.

Mind the English don't know how to play that game properly anyway.


PS. we would put vat on the water supplied to England at 40%.

And you wouldn't get any Welsh Lamb.

Just weighing up if the DVLC is in the same pickle as the passport office. Been told up to six weeks wait to get a refund on the remainder of the road tax disk. Not what was advertised. When my tax is due I will tell them wait 6 weeks. Perhaps the public can impose fines and penalties. :-))

The Labour MP , was pathetic. Most Labour MP's can only remember from the time that the Conservative's gained power, and have white washed all their dirty years in power from history. And now they have the barefaced cheek to blame others on uncontrolled immigration, the NHS [ Wales ] , the EU[ they gave our rebate back], human rights law mess and all the other rubbish they left us with.
