She has the least ties of the main candidates to the CNES-centric network that keeps people in check, so is the least prone to back room deals of a dubious nature. She also does put the effort and the hours in.<br /><br />She does have an uphill struggle though, as it's par for the course here that a Mc-someone takes the seat.

The Barra Bhoy is clearly a twat - a very good-looking one, but a twat all the same. <br /><br />DJ McSween is an unpleasant, partisan plonker whose extended family have made life for staff in the Council most unpleasant.<br /><br />Jean Davis is competent, hardworking but completely unelectable. <br /><br />Murdo Murray is sincere, passionate but utterly for 'the old ways' where you did what you were told by your betters.

What a collection of amazing assertions, half-truths and utter fictions!<br /><br />I especially enjoy it when he starts writing about the 1970s in his letters. For a man who (probably) lived through that time, it's clear he knows nothing about them, except from what he learned through the newspapers ('The Daily Express? The Mail?)<br /><br />If he's reading, can I suggest he looks at 'When The Lights Went Out: Britain In The Seventies' by Andy Beckett? Who knows? Even he might learn a little.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-88749306065027723562010-04-18T11:45:33.873+00:002010-04-18T11:45:33.873+00:00...and we're off.

How unwise can any politician be?<br /><br />Do they want to remind the voters how stupid AB was at that time? The concerns about the use of tents? The demands for a resignation before a decision was made? The flight to America when the jobs of the largest private employer in the consituency were threatened?<br /><br />Are they a professional political organisation or an underground kamikaze unit?

At that time he was the toast of SNP'dom. Alex passed him the honours "scandal" and our bhoy rose to the challenge.....Since these halycon days he's been exposed as a lazy, conceited and spectacularly useless MP. He thought politics was all about slinging mud and that it didnt involve any hard work. Where is the the toast of Nat'dom today? - on the way down. Where are his "friends"? They've desterted him. They still support their Party but not their representative which is so clear from the lack of activity - other than a few demented women, ably led by Donnie Shoogles and abetted by Donnie Gazette....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-17423471294802649192010-04-14T12:09:37.365+00:002010-04-14T12:09:37.365+00:00I didn't know that the Barra Bhuoy was in to m...I didn't know that the Barra Bhuoy was in to make up.
