The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered. If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.

Memo to Gordon
From: The Labour Party
To: Gordon Brown
Dear Gordon
The revolver is in the cellar beside the bottle of whisky. Be quick.
Another own GOAL! Too bad you were well and truly found out ... no hiding place this time in the glare of the media, and with your mic switched on for all to hear, again and again. Who can you blame? Stage managed by your team of incompetents. Apologies seemed to ring hollow... poor "bigoted" woman ... and a true life-long Labour supporter... she didn't really deserve this treatment. You have again advanced the cause of the SNP ... a "hung" parliament at Westminster, fudge and indecision, financial chaos, electoral reform to maintain a shaky coalition ... all feeds into the Scottish perception of "we can do this better ourselves". The KNIVES are being sharpened ...watch your back! Milliband, Johnson and a.n. others all in the queue. Behind closed doors meetings already taking place. Roll on 7th May.
Why oh why do the good people of this constituency wote for these incompetents?
The Liberal Democrats do not get a look in here because of blinkered 'Rangers/Celtic' traditional loyalty to parties that has not served the electorate very well since Donald Stewart deperted.
Throughout the other crofting constituencies that party represents their people very well in the way Donald did and have been rewarded for their efforts. Orkney & Shetland are streets ahead of the Western Isles in every way!
It would be a worse day if we were to vote for either of these parties on 7 May.
Since Donald Stewart retired the Rangers/Celtic loyalty of the supporters of these parties has blindly ignored abject failure.
Let's give the Liberal Democrats a go - they have been well supported in all the other crofting constituencies and Orkney & Shetland has benefitted greatly from their input for the last 60 years!
Goatee - I'm glad you're "woting" on 7th May. Just another wasted vote! Next time (maybe soon) I suggest you consider a postal "wote". Check your diary!
it was not that bad.... it may even have been true. I like honest folk.

Could his presbteryrian upbringing be responsible for his attitude? Would make sense.
ReplyDeleteBad day for both Labour and the SNP!

9:14 I think I will.
ReplyDeleteam listening to the big Debate - what a confused picture MacSween gives (ah well, its probably his age)
ReplyDeleteVe don't wote. We vote.
ReplyDeleteNot a Labour voter but calling a bigot a bigot only puts Mr Brown up in my estimation.
ReplyDeleteMore-so had he said it to her face but nevermind...
