But I really felt sorry for them having to listen to that mind numbing drivel. Tom Harris seems set to be in the jelly mould of other waffling blow-hard politicians from all sides of the political spectrum. Why I understand we even have (or had) them in the SNP, Gordon Wilson springs to mind. I sincerely hope that Tom does not become leader of the Scottish Labour group at Holyrood as he will just be another politician who causes you to reach for the “off” switch. I could almost predict what he was going to say before he said it which is good because then I did not have to listen to it and feel like I had been swindled out of 20 minutes of life. The same is true when “admin” posted it on the rather amusingly entitled “Labour Hame” geddit? Its Labour and its also their home but Scottified with a pair of tartan knickers and a Scottie dog so we can all be conned into thinking that the likes of Harris love their country i.e. Scotland instead of what they really love which is the UK gravy train. As far as I’m concerned you deserve a medal for being prepared to put yourself through the medieval torture that is reading that claptrap I only got through the first paragraph before I started to speed read and then just gave up half way through. If that is Tom’s effect on me just imagine how good he will be in convincing people to vote for his selfish ends?Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-23115234627259556382011-10-29T13:30:13.494+01:002011-10-29T13:30:13.494+01:00Tom Harris' comments are actually a symptom of...Tom Harris' comments are actually a symptom of the lack of will, leadership and especially courage that the unionist parties showed in the Scottish Parliamentary session of 2007-2011.<br /><br />If these unionist parties had had the courage of their conviction that Scotland as a whole is unionist then they should have called the independence referendum in 2007-2011.<br /><br />With a majority in the Scottish Parliament they would have had control of the number of questions on the ballot paper, the text of the questions and the timing of the referendum.<br /><br />Now all these issues are under the control of the SNP and what we see with all these calls for conventions to decide on the text of the questions, all the hoo-haa about the number of questions and the desperate attempts to have some control over the timing of the referendum by demanding it is held right now are simply the futile attempts of the unionist parties to gain back some, any control over the referendum.<br /><br />They had their chance in 2007-2011 and they blew it and they know it.DougtheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952281599715356995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-19918858508721518392011-10-29T12:20:37.352+01:002011-10-29T12:20:37.352+01:00Ah...

I read the piece on Havers Lame and started writing a piece on it, on reading it back, I reckoned that it compared unfavourably to anything you would have written on the piece...so I binned it in the hopes that you would oblige.<br /><br />I'm relieved that you did and that I was proved correct.<br /><br />I see a pattern here, the AV/FPTP poll having shown the way. The new democracy concerning referenda seems to involve but two steps. <br /><br />1. Use polling to establish what it is that the people actually want.<br /><br />2. Design your referendum to avoid this option.<br /><br />Two Step Democracy.<br /><br />Simples.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-51140460486926449232011-10-29T10:34:40.150+01:002011-10-29T10:34:40.150+01:00To paraphrase John Stewart
