At least our battle-hardened SNP MPs are shouting loud for Scotland, and shining a light on the despicable behaviour of the unionist parties at WM.Luiginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-60305719507613791982015-06-17T09:13:19.401+01:002015-06-17T09:13:19.401+01:00That's the point, isn't it?

The same contempt that the Scottish (sic) Labour party had/has, for the Scots.

Given what everyone was expecting before the GE compared to how it turned out, people need to be realistic. <br /><br />As it is, they've done a good job keeping Scotland very much in the public eye (the MSM are definitely helping out with that too :-D) and seem to be find some allies as well. People need to give them some time - its barely a month since they were elected.Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380184919439636141noreply@blogger.com
