I’m told there is a quiet confidence a No campaign in an indy referendum can be won by adopting the same tactics employed by the No campaign in the AV votes referendum – simply arguing that the case for independence has not been made, and must, therefore, be rejected. This is comically complacent, based on a lazy assumption that the independence the SNP will offer the voters is the same outdated 19th-century nation state that has been so easy to dismiss in the past. Not this time, sunshine."</i>James Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516007141763230886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-68904707881358708442011-08-22T12:07:37.862+01:002011-08-22T12:07:37.862+01:00modded out

This latest offering is positively unhinged. <br /><br />Apparently, in the eighteenth century, a visit to Bedlam to watch the cavortings of the lunatics was a popular diversion. Nowadays of course, we are more enlightened, and we must rely on Labour Hame as the nearest equivalent source of reprehensible entertainment.<br /><br />If I was going to attack the SNP Gov't over Megrahi, I might ask why a man given 3 months to live by Scottish medical opinion can in fact have his life prolonged for two years by the Libyan medicalk profession.
