They should get the old postal vote scam going pronto.
What's gone wrong in Scotland for Labour?
- Just like in the rest of the country Labour are unloved, not trusted and people are bored with them
- The war, all Labour's fault
- Joke McConnall really has been useless. He's glib, shows no shred of intellect and isn't even very likeable. In fact he's nothing and that's his biggest problem
- People are fed up with the Scots boys who all headed down south to seek their fortunes coming back up north to tell us what's best for us.
- The Labour/Lib Dem alliance has been a shambles
Having said all that, things will soon start to go wrong once the honeymoon of the SNP victory is past.
My predictions
- Labour will rally this week in the vote, but the SNP will still win.
- The Tories will do well
- Lib Dems badly
- Greens will be squeezed out to perhaps 3 seats
- SSP & Solidarity will fare badly too. Sheridan will get his seat, and perhaps one other.
In the kingdom of the blind the One eyed man is King.......
but not in Scotland!
Good to see they hate 'Gay Gordon' in North Briton too.
Scots, Wha Hae.
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to victorie!
Now's the day, and now's the hour:
See the front o' battle lour,
See approach proud Edward's power -
Chains and slaverie!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha will fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave? -
Let him turn, and flee!
Wha for Scotland's King and Law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Freeman stand or freeman fa',
Let him follow me!
By oppression's woes and pains,
By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us do or dee!
how is the day and now is the hour indeed
Gay Gordon Faces Personal Defeat on Home Turf
It's Time
As an Englishman I support independence for Scotland, the sooner we get rid of the scroungers the better.
There are several things we would need to get right first.
- The national debt (& pension costs) need to be spread between the two countries on the basis of government spending in the previous 5 years.
- North Sea oil would be split according to a continuation of the international border (as per the norm) not directly to the east as the Scots seem to expect
- Shetland should be made an offer to stay with England
I hear they don't take kindly to one-eyed, snot-eating, money-grabbing, shirt-lifting, fat, smelly bastards in Scotland, even ones who come from Kirkcaldy.
Id love to be a fly on the wall when gordos tantrum hits.he must know he is a disaster in the polls so it must be his stupidity that makes him think he will win.I mean if his own locals wont vote for him how does he expect england to like him?.
SALMOND'S FACE TO BE PROJECTED ON TO MOON NIGHT BEFORE ELECTION
THE SNP election campaign will reach a spectacular climax this week when the face of party leader Alex Salmond is projected on to the surface of the moon.
People across the northern hemisphere will be able to see Salmond's gigantic face from 10.30pm on Wednesday until around 3am the following morning.
An SNP spokesman said: "With around of 40% of voters undecided, what could be more impressive than Alex Salmond beaming down at you from space?
"We think it will give voters a tremendous sense of calm and well-being."
He added: "Obviously we're going to focus-group the whole thing and if the feedback is positive we'll look at projecting the leader's face on to the moon on other occasions such as St Andrew's Day and Alex's birthday."
Extra police will be on hand in several Lochaber villages where, according to Salmond, he is already worshipped as, "some kind of supernatural astronaut".
"They might think it's the end of the world and start sacrificing whatever or whoever they can get their hands on," said a police spokesman.
"It's probably best if there's a uniformed officer there to reassure them."
Something's up: Guido doesn't normally post on a Sunday. Is he waiting for a very big story?
Salmond has played a canny game. His financial sums don't add up, but he has down-played this. Jack McConnell could have the best planned budget in the world, but he looks like a used car salesman..'Balancing the Scottish budget is like making love to a beautiful woman..[make your own joke here].. And by telling voters that independence will be 'reversible' ['not a one -way street'] he is going to cajole a lot of people into 'kick Tony Blair' protest vote..
Labour are in for a hammering - the only thing that can prevent it is low turnout - perhaps El Gordo is doing a rain [monsoon?] dance as we speak..
Anon @ 9:32 Sorry to disappoint you but that has been the whole problem for previous governments and the reason why the Barnett formula was brought in. Scots have dibs on most of the oil fields.
Remember it won't last for ever, but then we have lots of lovely opportunities for renewable energy as well!
Oh and the water is so tasty and plentiful that the whisky business just keeps getting better.
It appears that Scotland is also a net exporter of electricity down South too. Be careful what you wish for because wether it is oil,gas, wind, water or electricity you will be paying more for it if Scotland goes independent.
I've no doubt we will have a plentiful supply of wind blowing in from the north,whatever the political landscape
My interpretation of events can be found on my blog!
Butterscotch, it is not climate change causing the rise in temperature up here but rather the sheer volume of hot air emanating from Holyrood, I am sure that's why my heating bill has gone down in recent winters!
Chatterbox we cant wait to get rid of you.
Hows this for a deal , you keep the oil and take all our darkies and eastern Europeans?

As can a plan for grooming young boys on myspace, doesn't mean any of us are interested in reading it
If atleast someone on here is interested in reading it then its all been worthwhile
Watch Gordon Brown pouting and mincing like Graham Norton at the end of this clip and then try telling me the big jessie isn't gay.

Does your mother read blogs?
Bloody morons have screwed up everything so much in the last decade that an entire country wants to bugger off.
Well done Tony and Gordo. Absolutley fu**ing fantastic legacy there - the break up of The Union.
Twats the lot of them.
So hitch are you going to cough over what you went to prison for?
Independence for Scotland, what a great idear that is?
Scotland will be finally FREE from English government tirrany.
Sounds just wonderfull to me.
We the English can then start the process of ridding the English people of International and National Socialist tirrany FOR EVER.
Sounds like time for me to start up, The Dulwich Village Independence Party, again.
Just think how much fun we can have watching all those unemployable victims, of Labours great SOCIALIST Scotish experiment, fight over the last bag of crisps in the supermarket?
The sad fact that Adam Smith was Scotish, only adds irony to Scotlands saddest joke of all.
Which is 2007 SCOTLAND itself.
The shame of it is that Buggins Brown seems to be the only man nulab have got. By now even the dimmest labour MP's must be polishing up their CVs and making new friends that may be able to give them a living when it all falls apart.
Perhaps Mrs Bliar will ask Mr bliar to stay on. After all her chances of getting any richer must be getting as slim as her husband's.
The big untold story about these reports is the editorial of the Sunday Times in Scotland, which declares support for the SNP.
This is the first Murdoch paper to move away from Labour since 1997. Is Murdoch dipping his toe in the water, and if so, will a victory for the SNP on Thursday mean curtains for Brown's hopes for continued News International support upon his coronation?
If one Murdoch paper can declare outright opposition to Gordon, it may be the case that that all papers will get a free run. Makes you think - how secure did Rebecca Wade feel in her job when she heard this news.......

Just thought I'd say that again, with a few additions.
Gordon's Top Ten ... I really, really, really can't see how New Labour can lose!!!
1) Snot eating
2) Nail biting
3) One eyed
4) Greasy hair
5) Fat
6) Ugly
7) Ex-Marxist
8) Scottish
9) Decision Avoider
10) Mincing
11) Skin creeping
12) Married of convenience
13) Stealth taxing
14) Teeth bleaching
15) Temper tantrums
16) False Smiling
17) Mild Autistic
18) Tractor speeches
19) Control freak
Meanwhile the UK's independent nuclear detrrant is not so indpendent if the Socts get independence... as it's based in the Clde.
So doubt the SNP would either charge a few £billion a year to keep it there or it can be moved to any coastal town in ENgland which wantsit.
Any takers?
(It amuses me the keenest ENglish supporters of getting rid of the Scots are the shrillest advocates of keeping our own nuclear deterrent which suggests perhaps a lack of thought processes being joined up?)
Oops : spelling! sorry...
Whae hay Scotland, good riddance to the socialist scroungers, and good riddance to the Scottish Raj ruling over us as a final benefit there will never be another Labour government !!! Hooray
What is more laughable is that Scotland with 55%+ of all employment from the state, zero enterprise, a big hooha about Scottish banks i.e. London banks that just happen to have Scottish names, massive dependency on welfare, worst public health in western europe etc etc) will somehow transform itself into a celtic tiger like Ireland according to the SNP.
Er, with a bunch of quasi socialists running the place like drunken sailors on shore leave I don't see how!!! And England is not going to say sure help yourself to the oil lads, no worries (it's a drop in the ocean of public finance anyway)
I'm sure we'll find somewhere to put the subs, madasafish.
The important thing is that English policies will be once again decided by English members of parliament.
This was all predictable and indeed predicted ten years ago. When will Blair realise how stupid he is?
Enlighten me please, is the correct pronunciation of "The Hitch", "The Beetch?"
Plentiful natural resources does not guarantee economic propersity - take a look at Africa. OK I tell a lie - it guarantees prosperity for the 1% elite.
Scotland will need more than that - ditching the Soviet economy would be a good start. They have produced great entrepreneurs in the past. Independence and a kick up the backside will see them good again.
At last the most beautiful of dreams is coming true! The bastards are finished. Thank God...
Ahhhhhhh schadenfreund, don't you just love it.
I prefer schadenfreude.
Ed ha detto...
I'm sure we'll find somewhere to put the subs, madasafish.
Hartlepool take anything nuclear - though perhaps they over-react to anything they perceive as a foreign threat.
If they leave do they have to re-apply to join the EU? Or are we out of the club because we're no longer the United Kingdom?
Either way, can't wait to see the back of the scrounging scroats.
Excuse me German.
I'm sure the subs can go to Devonport, or re-establish a base at Portland. (Much beloved of the Krogers if I recall correctly).
Scottish independance would mean border controls and duty and transit costs. Independance would not give Scotland automatic membership of the EU, that would have to negotiated, and i don't believe that Brussels would allow the existing terms to continue.
The Scot's would only be allowed to charge the Rotterdam spot barrel price, if they charge more no one will buy, if they attempted to maipulate the price, then they would come a cropper under WTO/GATT rules.
The SNP have not thought things out properly
anonymous 9:44
It seems the correct pronunciation of the hitch (10:38 post)is racist cunt.
Penfold is a Tory bampot
What are these"terms" which the EU could not allow to continue?? The "acquis communautaire" or what, be specific please. Scotland is in the EU. If the UK ceases, which is what Scottish independence means, it is after all the UK of GB(geographical term) and NI. well if it ceases than either both Scotland and the rump have to apply for EU membership or neither do. Do you really think the EU allows Bulgaria, Latvia and go in and would boot Scotland out?
Away 'n boil yir heid.
As to Trident and the pathetic attempt to pretend you are aworld power on the purchase and maintenance of some very expensive willly enlarger from the USA, well thats your problem Nigel, no oors.
"well if it ceases than either both Scotland and the rump have to apply for EU membership or neither do"
Good point. It would be great if both parties had to reapply then we could agree to the free trade zone without all the Brussels bollocks.
No wonder he looks so glum

Much as I dislike the way English nationalism has been repressed and the way the Scottish seem to constantly moan about us, I'd rather the Union was maintained than risk having an outpost of a Federal Europe on England's northern border.
Most dissapointed, you put "The Sunday Post" in amongst the graphic, as if that is a reputable news source....
