A hung Parliament

Had it all planned about what I was going to write about today, but have just come back from a huge Sunday roast and an afternoon walk with the grandchildren; I'm stuffed and mellowed out.
We took the wee ones to a play park I played in when I was their age; as I walked down the street the memories flooded back.
My Grandmothers house with it's wee stane dyke.Wee on one side that is, a five foot drop on the other.
One Hogmanay first footing, the booze in my rucksack, I sat on that wall to finish a can throwing my head back to glug it down, then found myself like an upended turtle in her rose bushes...

Sun Shuns Manse Son

So the weathervane of the dead tree press has shifted again.Will they be able to claim that they won the next election for the Tories, or has the influence that they had in the eighties and nineties been eroded by more sophisticated media?
Certainly the younger generations rely more on Facebook and Google for news than any slanted newspaper.
In Scotland the SNP managed to form a government in the teeth of a hostile press; yet in the comments section of the online Scotsman and Herald there were many rebuttals of those papers editorial stances.Did they make a difference?
So, what now for the Scottish Sun? A cleft stick indeed.Does the SNP need or even want it's support? If they go with the Tories they will lose readers to the Record, support Labour and they will probably have to write a whole different edition to the English one.

Mind you that probably wouldn't take too long...

for the plug.

SNP sectarian snob snubs Uni

When will it end?

Kerr is now a snob, apparently.

I'm just waiting for the rhyming slang.

Mud sticks

Apparently the SNP candidate for Glasgow NE, is not sectarian "aware" enough, according to the Hootsmon.
This is due to a paragraph in an in house magazine written four or five years ago.
There isn't the problem there was in 1945.
And it's a huge problem now, compared to what it will be in 2045.
If we had secular schooling NOW, it would be over in a generation...

The Hunt For SNP Scapegoats

Removing Trident from Scotland was going to cost thousands of jobs, said Labour, way back when.
Now Trident is going to be "cut back" by a UK Government, I wonder how many of those jobs will remain...
