Wendy Alexander has addressed the Scottish Liebour spring gathering and told them that she will lead them to victory in the Scottish Parliament. Yeah, right.
In a characteristic display of utter hypocrisy, she said that she “will lead by exposing the dishonesty of the SNP”. Dishonesty of the SNP? Sorry Wendy Love, […]

England have lost to Scotland in the Six Nations.
I don’t mind England losing (I’d rather we didn’t of course) just as long as it’s not to Scotland!

Saturday’s defeat at the hands of the mutton munchers was made slightly more palatable by yesterday’s demolition of the sweaty socks by the cheese eating surrender monkey’s.
Our friends north of the border lost by 21 points putting them firmly at the bottom of the table on points difference after the opening fixtures. Hopefully they’ll stay there […]

The Crossrail project - a huge train network in the south east of England, centred on London - is estimated to cost the taxpayer £16,500,000,000.
The breakdown is as follows:
Building Crossrail - £16,000,000,000
Buying Scottish votes - £500,000,000
Under the Barnett Formula, Scotland is entitled to £500m purely because £16bn is being spent in England. It doesn’t matter that […]
