Re: Political Earthquake

Been reading the news over the last few days and it's starting to look like the Brexiteers can now be compared with turkeys voting for Christmas......or lemmings rushing headlong for the cliff..... At least that's how the EU sees us now............Surely we don't have to commit political/financial s...

Re: It's good to talk . . . .

Hey, lighten up Nicky lad, that's a kinda jaundiced view of the World.
The wind has died (for now), the rain has ceased (temporarily) and the sun is shining (was a minute ago !!). Wot's not to like............................? :D

Re: Corbyn storms it

Hopefully this will be the end of 'New Labour' and 'Spin', heralding the return of an effective 'Left' who can counter the predominately right wing stance of the all the other parties. Though Corbyn will have to endure much scheming by new labour diehards to unseat him, he has obviously managed to e...

I'm not really sure I can make much sense of your last post Jim, other than you again voice your disapproval of people being 'denigrated', and I happen to agree with you that we should not mock others. So it seems to me you're being a little hypocritical and displaying duel standards by using the te...

Does make you wonder why some folk seek 'high office' but it'll look good on the CV when Kezuia goes for her next job in a month or two.

Re: Jeremy Corbyn - what are the implications for Scotland

Billy Bragg once commented that he would be voting LibDem because they were the 'furthest left he could find'. I guess he was insinuating that New Labour had lurched repeatedly so far to the right that they had now joined the Tories. So Corbyn should like a breath of fresh air to Mr Bragg and millio...
