Cities bid for Olympic...Brilliant put down, James.<br /><br />Cities bid for Olympics, not countries. Ken Livingstone was the author of the bid and London won. Paris, as opposed to France, had also put in a bid.<br /><br />Of course McTernan knows this quite well, but he is counting on ignorance and prejudice to knock independence by making it look like we all hate the English.<br /><br />Caron Lindsay...what can I say? I had to take her blog off my blog list as it was in danger of giving me high blood pressure for all the nonsense it contained.<br /><br />I'm trying hard to think of governments which were elected anywhere in the UK with more than 50% of the vote. That's the kind of thing that happens when you have two parties alone... effectively in, for example, the US presidential elections.<br /><br />I'm with you about the postal system. Royal Mail, Postal service of Scotland, Scottish Mail, Royal Mail of Scotland, Her Majesty's Scottish Mail. I dont give a damn as long as they deliver the mail to every house in Scotland, 6 days a week, which I am sure, after an initial period, the current privatised mail will no longer do.<br /><br />And why wouldn't we have the name of the country on our stamps. I'll lay money on it that most people in the UK don't even realise the UK doesn't put its name on stamps. <br /><br />It's hard to believe that Blair MacDougall is so stupid as to think that a vote for independence will mean Alex Salmond in perpetuity. So we can only assume that he imagines that his public is that stupid. Fortunately I doubt anyone who gives it a moment's thought will consider that an Alex Salmond government for the next 20 years is even slightly likely.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-35098175347727273652013-10-20T14:18:57.662+01:002013-10-20T14:18:57.662+01:00Nice to see that the revolting bigot Mssss (I love...Nice to see that the revolting bigot Mssss (I love Clegg, I want his babies, he's such a dish) lindsay doesn't seem to be allowing anybody to reply to her fantasy postings.
