CT you think discussing Politics properly is repeating Tory party rhetoric

I may have been tempted by the Greens down here but the anti nuclear power thing doesnt make sense to me. Good luck today mate, think my cousin's hubby in Innerleithen may know you..not sure if you can count on their vote either though

They're not acting as if they won last year as such, but they are sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "WE CANT HEAR YOU!!" when you point out that the same silent 55% majority are still there and are still unlikely to vote for them.

Theres a family from our village made up of 11 brothers and two sisters...all the elder brothers formed a very good band and in the 70s they appeared on New Faces (Simon Cowell basically ripped this off kids) and were in demand as session players and as a tour support/backing act . They were at my uncle's wedding sometime in the mid 70s in Northampton the same day as they were backing Ben E King at Batley WMC in Yorkshire in the evening....think the story goes they got up and started drinking a lot more than would be advisable or indeed legal even back then, went to the wedding, had a few afternoon liveners, then reluctantly started loading their gear and more beer into their decrepit transit for the journey up to Yorkshire, the van wouldnt start so my other uncle (trained mechanic) had to fix it in his bestman suit They eventually arrived at the gig and fell of the van and proceeded to set up in front of the incredulous soul legend and obviously went on to produce a note perfect set for the man who they all agreed was a musical genius and a thouroughly decent gent too Errol Brown too...sad times...

Scottish parliamentry elections next year....Sturgeon completely dodged answering when Jeremy Vine asked her yesterday point blank if there would be another referendum in their manifesto. Am sure KCG will be delighted to let us know if theyre going to put the rest of us through it again..

PR machine on overtime this week.....he's basically been called out on being a hopeless leader and for the past 18 months or so an even worse player. Thanks for the (few) good times old son but time its to sling your fuckin hook..

Who was Sir Bob's coach again?? Very fond memories of that side though, I still say to this day Titus would play like Bobby Moore for six games or so then we'd be on sky and he'd balloon a clearance straight to Henry or Van Nistlerooy

Im english too and the same arseholes up there who have always ripped me for being English think the SNP are an absolute fuckin whizz. Theyd never voted in any election before last year's referendum but are now apparently commited nationalists. All Eck had to do was scratch the bitter scab of ridiculous anti English sentiment that a lot of Scots have. I'd watch what your mates in the party are saying behind your back if I were you

Am pretty sure Salmon and Sturgeon aren't but I think a lot of their voters are. Same as farage isn't openly prejudiced against foreigners in general but I think it's pretty certain a lot of his vote is. Manipulation of the weak.

Labour have only won in the UK though when it has moved to the centre and won lots of seats in the south of England. I thought I read during the referendum that Labour would still have been returned three times under Blair even if theyd won no seats in Scotland? And if you think my elderly parents who live near Kelso would vote for anyone other than Labour, least of all the fuckin tories, then youve another think coming Labour dont get any real following in the area because the people are pretty conservatve with a small "c" by nature, lots of farmers etc, up to their gills in EU subsidies etc. Even then they've returned a Liberal/Lib Dem since David Steel was elected in the 60s, local boy etc. Next door in Dumfries & Tweedale theyve got Scotlands only tory, and always have had one as far I can remember, its a pretty different area from the rest of Scotland. Overall though whilst I agree with a lot of the SNP policies I find the notion of the break up of the UK pretty unpalatable. I think, for all their "anti Westminster" retoric, the SNP leadership are just the other side of the coin to Nigel Farage, just manipulating people's base prejudices. in this case the anti English scab that lurks within a lot of Scots, waiting to be scratched. Why should Scotland have the ability to remove themsleves from the rest of Labour voting UK?...why create a very hard border when across the planet the world seems to be on the move with barriers basically stormed by huge waves of immigration? I understand that an independant Scotand will welcome immigrants but it seems a pretty strange way to go about it i.e. alienating people on the same Islands who they have a huge amount more in common with e.g. the industrial cities of the north of Ehgland, south Wales etc..

There's no one possessing even the merest titter of wit that would come in to this fuckin shambles with 3 games to go. We're fuckin toxic, the whole football world knows it too. Christ knows who were getting in the summer regardless of what division were in.

My otherwise fairly reasonable in laws wouldn't have it that Labour had fairly little to do with the crash the other night...they read the fuckin daily mail though
