Shades of Gray

Interesting article in the Scotsman this morning from Iain Gray. Here are the highlights:

“IAIN Gray has admitted that many people in Scotland still do not know who he is a year after taking over as the leader of Labour in Holyrood.
Mr Gray spoke to The Scotsman to mark the one-year anniversary of his election as [...]

More Lockerbie – Sorry!

Thanks to Mr Eugenides for articulating something I have been thinking all along about the release of “The Lockerbie Bomber” The conspiracy theorists have been banging on about remarkable coincidences and Mr E deals with one (Magnus Linklater) by saying that there were only four possible outcomes thus:
(1) Both Westminster and Scottish Exec in favour [...]

Oh Sugar!

As regular readers know I don’t watch much telly.
Once a friend recommended The Apprentice to me thinking I’d enjoy it.
Boy was he wrong.

Hell Hath No Fury

This is Caroline Flint (47).
Caroline who flounced out in the huff because she didn’t get a cabinet job in Broon’s re-shuffle resigned this week as Europe minister, is very very angry that Gordon Brown uses women as “window dressing”. Clearly she is a woman who disapproves of all that stuff.

4) They then resign citing various reasons like “I’m going to spend more time with my porn collection” or “I’m going [...]

Decency and Honesty

Not much of it around in the unseemly cut throat world of politics. I’m not Gordon Brown or New Labour’s biggest fan but it doesn’t seem five minutes since they were urging Blair to bugger off and Broon was lauded as the only hope to win the party victory at the next election.
Surely the correct [...]

Challenge to Broon?

Harriet Harman?
Hazel Blears?
The press are having a laugh.
Aren’t they?

The Budget

Blimey he’s at it again!
That’s Alistair Darling I’m talking about.
He said yesterday in his speech that the economy would shrink 3.5% this year but somehow bounce back and grow at 1.25% in 2010 and to an astonishing 3.5% in 2011.
How the MP’s on all sides laughed.
Alistair is the very man for your wild predictions you [...]
