  3. Sir Edward Carson,
    the new Unionist leader, told his audience that he was entering into
    a compact , or bargain, with them. He continued, with the help of
    God you and I joined together I giving you the best I can, and you
    giving all your strength behind me

    'we will yet defeat the most
    nefarious conspiracy that has ever been hatched against a free
    people '

  4. Apparently there were problems at the printers. The first question should read: "You agree that Scotland should be an independent country?" The second question should read: "Are you mad?"

    Re the second question. you have answered, and thank you for your candour.

    I suppose that come Independence we will need to set up care-in-the-community drop in centres for yourself and ilk.

    I, personally, would stop short of reorientation and re-education camps but that decision really is for a later day.

    Have a Nice One trolling the bowels of the Scotsman!

  7. I seem to be able to respond today, so:

    CH, perhaps Westminster will print papers with a large flourescent arrow pointing to the "NO" box..

    Niko, quoting Carson; you know your audience don't you...

    Welcome Graham, I hope your blog lasts longer than the last one.

    Barney, not mad, the puir mannie has seen his world crashing down twice in the past few years. OK so he is mad...

    Wolfie, the glory days of posting on the Scotsman are over, thanks to their crap software with it's troll friendly comments; is that their plan? Probably.

    Cheers Doug, liked your post on Bella.

  11. "Now they are complaining it's a loaded question. I despair sometimes... "

    Er...

    "I agree that the Scottish Government should negotiate a settlement with the UK Government so that Scotland becomes an independent state."

    "I agree that the powers of the Scottish Parliament should be extended so that independence could be achieved."

    "Do you agree that Scotland should be an independent country?"

    Jeez, the problem is that the Nats don't know which way to load the question from one "consultation paper" to the next.

    Just why have we dropped the "state" word, by the way?
