Scottish Question
Could someone point Charlie Kennedy in the right direction. He was just seen by a co-conspirator heading towards the Chamber via all four walls.

chazza is a decent bloke he doesn't deserve this, he just needs to find a real job with less cash and less opportunities for getting pished , hows about we all club together and get him a job on a saudi arabian construction site?
Had he had a wine gum or two?
Makes a change from Ming the mouse's Horlicks.
Obviously walls have ears...hic
Probably just reeling from a NuLab presentation - it could happen to any of us. Rumour has it that the Priory even has a special wing for ex-politicos whose brains are now totally addled. TB will be in and out of it for the rest of his days.

Obviously 'the hitch' has not worked in Saudi Arabia. It's a well known fact among those who have, that it is possibly the worst place to go to dry out.
The local 'Cid' is a pure spirit, distilled to ~95% pure alcohol, and fairly readily available at SR 100 (£14) per litre - so when cut to the usual spirit strenth of 40% costs the equivalent of around £5 per litre !
Way too tempting for Charlie & friends.

You have to come back to the UK to dry out , but don't come back on a BA plane it runs out of booze over Egypt.
Hang on.
A pissed up Charlie Kennedy, even when he has shat his pants, is way better than a sober Ming Campbell.
Maybe a little special rendition trip might help him.
I'm sure Air American are not very free with the old booze. Plus you can be sure any of their destinations are "very" dry!
In the olde days life was simple, when a politician came around one just locked up one's daughters. Today if a Lib Dem comes around one has to lock up one's daughters, one's sons, the drinks cabinet and the toilet.
Fib Dem.....did you really have to put that image of Mark Oaten in my head?!
It's only Tuesday and thats totally ruined my week.
I feel so unclean now. And not in a good way. Just a Lib Dem way.
He's got MS, you know....
Damn shame - Charlie is a nice guy. Don't agree with his politics, but a decent human being. Far too few of those in politics.
One wonders whether the Beeb and dead tree press will have the balls to point out that ole Charlie boy has not so much fallen off the waggon as damn well fallen off the road. Could we be seeing another "high profile" Lib Dem step down at the next generals?
So Charlie's joined Ali Campbell off the wagon again eh.
He was probably seeing more then four walls.
"Mr Kennedy, you're drunk."
"And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning .... I shall be drunk again."
Doesn't sound right, somehow.
He had to have a few drams to survive Swinson's last comment at Scottish Questions. It will go up soon enough on www.fibdems.blogspot.com

If you are getting images of Oaten it must be the way your mind works.
I should have added the need to lock away all glass tables.
I know that feeling ...I feel abit mean looking at the post....and laughing
If Charles Kennedy were a decent man he would have acknowledged his own Party's despair at his alcoholism and stood down years ago, instead of lying about 'not having a problem'.
The guy's an addict, he needs treatment - would you all feel so warm and fluffy if he were a druggie rather than an alky?
"would you all feel so warm and fluffy if he were a druggie rather than an alky?"
We're all pretty warm and fluffy about Dave around here, so I guess that's your answer.
It's amazing how much guff I read on here. I saw Kennedy an hour later and he looked perfectly sober to me.
At least Charlie has a cast iron excuse for saying one thing and doing another.
Maybe the other FibDems thought that was what they had to do as well.
Naahh. I don't think so either....about the other FibDems not Charlie's problem. Which is nearing the tragic stage. He should get out now.
Anon said "It's amazing how much guff I read on here. I saw Kennedy an hour later and he looked perfectly sober to me."
a) An hour later than when?
b) Where was he sleeping?
Maybe he's just heard the Scotsman poll results due out tomorrow (Wed) making the SNP the largest party on 3 May, increasing its lead over Labour to 5 points. Lib Dems doing well and over-taking the Tories to be Scotland's third party. Even I wouldn't begrudge Charlie a wee dram, especially as Minging Campbell won't be happy that the only majority coalition on these poll results is an SNP/Lib Dem one....
If I ever meet Charles Kennedy, I will have a few choice words to say to him about him campaigning for Regional Assemblies in England, during which time he took the piss out of us with this speech in Scotland (he'd never dare repeat it in England) -
There is, according to the old joke, no equivalent in Gaelic to the word mañana - nothing, as the crofter is supposed to have said to the tourist, "expressing quite that degree of urgency". By the same token, there is as far as I am aware no equivalent in Gaelic, or for that matter in English, to the word schadenfreude, a useful German expression meaning to take pleasure in the misfortunes of others. But it is not an emotion exclusive to the Germans.
Do I detect a certain schadenfreude among Scots at the apparent current turmoil among the English over their sense of national identity? If so, it is given extra savour because that crisis of identity is provoked at least in part by the creation of the Parliament in Scotland and the Assembly in Wales. Suddenly it is Scotland which is forging ahead in a grand constitutional experiment, and England which is poring over its national navel and asking: who are we ... and why?
-------
Lib Demmers MUST know what he thinks of England and the English after that, so why the hell are they still Lib Dems? Do they really all hate us that much?
I hope the SNP win in May!!
kennedy was at the finance and leasing association (FLA) dinner this evening
he therefore deserves a drink if you ask me
the hitch
You obviously have never lived in Saudi Arabia.
Sidiki anyone?
Given the state of British politics, you could excuse the man for being 'anxious for the drink'

"chazza is a decent bloke he doesn't deserve this,"
deserve's got nothing to do with it
At least he will be remembered as a Liberal leader in the Asquith tradition.
We in Scotland knew CK liked a 'drop or ten' ages ago! I remember the tale told by an SNP activist in CK's seat in 1997, where ,at the count, he was visibly shaking. Those who remember May 1st 1997 know that it was a sunny warm night!
Since Sir Winston liked a drop or three, I have quite never understood the problem over Kennedy.
In public Kennedy seemed streets ahead of the performance we now see from Ming.

if he ever meets charles kennedy??
suddenly Scotland is forging ahead ????
