Sometimes you see politicians who lose and you know that it's their comeuppance. I felt it when Mitt Romney lost the election against Obama in the US in 2012. The tactless things he'd said about poor people were such ill thought out statements that I felt that his failure was well deserved. (Say what you like about Trump though, but he timed it well by running as a republican after two democrat wins, which put the democrats in a weaker position.) Clinton's statement about "deplorables" and her pathetic campaign against Trump meant that I felt that she deserved to finish the race with her tail between her legs.<br /><br />I reckon the same applies to the SNP. They should get what's coming to them.THE INVISIBLE MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300169798315384245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-65524146109081057122017-03-13T09:43:37.667+00:002017-03-13T09:43:37.667+00:00Yup, that sounds eminently reasonable and logical ...Yup, that sounds eminently reasonable and logical Mr Laird.

Labour allow Scottish Labour a lot of freedom but reserve the right to step in and deal with problems.<br /><br />Of course, there are problems on both sides of the border for Labour, but the problems up here are just equally bad in different areas because of devolution. You have momentum Labour down south in control and 'progress' or Blair faction up here.<br /><br />In any future referendum, you will find multiple campaigns will be running for the pro Uk side, but I would expect Scotland in Union to be the possible official campaign, this depends on their ability to organise their campaigning strategy and network. At present they are going through a developmental stage and learning curve.<br /><br />Scottish Labour want to do their own thing which is a mistake on their part, people didn't desert Labour because they campaigned with the Tories, they went because Blairite Labour couldn't give a monkeys about representing the people. <br /><br />GeorgeG Lairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634338820731652821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-4357332119821565902017-03-12T17:17:37.080+00:002017-03-12T17:17:37.080+00:00Fully agree Mr Laird, particularly with your comme...Fully agree Mr Laird, particularly with your comment about the Conservatives making a bid to dominate the Watergate parliament. I would also like your views on Jeremy's comments this morning regarding another referendum. He appears to have shot across Kezia's path and headed off into the bushes by seeming to support another referendum being held...or is this all part of a cunning plan on behalf of all the Unionist parties?D Stewartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-70369258862630516812017-03-10T21:29:05.443+00:002017-03-10T21:29:05.443+00:00Hi Auld Jock

So the question must be – why have it in the first place. Is she a plant to destroy Scottish Nationalism and the SNP. Is she an agent for the Globalist, deliberately causing 8 years of confusion and low investment in Scotland. Her reward, an early retirement with a great pension and a million pound mansion. She’s a phony like Sheridan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-17464535825002233932017-03-10T19:29:41.422+00:002017-03-10T19:29:41.422+00:00boom georgieboy boom georgieboy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972114991869354050.post-10102983711020506712017-03-10T19:03:06.021+00:002017-03-10T19:03:06.021+00:00Hello George

You have enlightened me. Thank you for that.<br /><br />It's out of character for me, but I actually watched Theresa May's speech to the Scottish Tory conference. I wanted to get some sense of how comitted she is to keeping the UK together and how well informed she is about the snp and their idiot machinations. She seemed to be fully aware of the nature of the snp beast. She also seemed to be very determined to do what has to be done to face them down. She is already on record as saying that the independence issue was settled in 2014. She knows what is at stake with brexit and I cannot believe she will grant a section 30 Order and thereby place brexit at risk. sturgeon is passing into the wind.<br /><br />Finally, Fox is right, any future referendum will be very much harder to win than the last one. The closer any referendum is to the last one, the harder still it will be to win because, as you point out, it will be the same bunch of deadbeats who lied constantly in 2014 and memories of the vile snp tactics and the division caused amongst families, friends and co-workers are still fresh in many people's memories.<br /><br />Auld Jock<br />Auld Jocknoreply@blogger.com
