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.

The right to vote
Thanks to Yahoo for proving that you can never dumb down too far in politics.
God, this is so sad that I feel like crying that these people may help form the next Government.
These people don't vote so the odds of them helping form a government are slim.
Besides why should anyone take an interest in voting? Anyone with any illusion that democracy still works for the people is as daft as the kids in that video.
The political classes are self-serving, partisan and wholly uninterested in working together to make a better society. All too interested in one-upmanship, feuds and bringing their opponents down than actually doing anything constructive.
For once Angus, I agree with you!

Sound familiar Angus?
Listening to the same sh1t day in day out from mainly a bunch of self serving arseholes makes me feel I want to join this lot
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the country is f****d. It would be interesting though to ask the same questions of our local councillors!
