    Funny! Can’t wait to see the back of the proud Scots buts like George Deary. Mike Forsyth’s a typical proud George Deary Scot but, sorry Lord Michael Forsyth, Baron Forsyth of Drumlean. What’s the difference between a Westminster lord and a baron anyway, extra troughing for life privileges nae doubt.

    LORD PRESCOTT accepted his ennoblement from the queen because his wife wanted the honour.

    The fighting man who was also egged doesn`t even wear the trousres in his many mansions.

    He fought like a rat in a sack to keep his other mansion that was fully funded by Trades Union Members who had to pay court costs to get him out of their house.

    A man of the people.?
    My arse.

    This is ‘better together’? The people of Scotland can and will reject this heartless cruelty. Yes is the only answer.

    Prescott

    Prescott’s words of wisdom: ‘Let’s get the England Scotland teams together and we might beat the Germans’! That’s it. Game over. #VoteYes

    My pal has just texted that the Newington Edinburgh YES shop at 22 Newington Road has been trashed overnight and “Nazis” pained over all the many windows.

    Will Alastair Darling and Ian Murray be called upon to tell their extreme supporters to stop it.

    Mind who with a single brain cell would accuse the democratic YES movement as Nazis when UKOK is supported by BNP, SDL, UKIP and OO?

    The mention of “flashmob” made me laugh earlier when someone commented on WGD about the Westminster Flashmob that is happening right now.
    I’m still chuckling.

    Good grief, PMQ’s is all about Scotland. They’ve obviously discovered us and can’t believe they have this huge chunk of land attached to the north of Englandshire that they never noticed before.

    Davy with an invited audience In Edinburgh (maybe handed over from GB’s last event). Baw’s burst already then!

    Oh dear hand round the hankies. Same old platitudes and patronising language coupled with empty promises, even used the ‘best of both worlds’

    A women on the radio this morning suggested full powers to Scotland (oil, whisky & crown estate moneys) scrap Barnett and then we give the Uk what we agree on after a blether.

    what a hoot.

    Tesco sketch reminded me… I got this rather bland question-swerving reply from Tesco



    Dear Mr McColl

    Thank you for your email

    I understand you’re concerned about the leaflet you have received.

    We’ve got a great business in Scotland and our job is to create the best offer
    for customers whatever the outcome of the referendum.

    Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

    Kind regards

    Wish a reply: yes
    Additional Information: I have seen that the “Better Together” campaign in the Scottish Independence Referendum are circulating a claim that if there is a “Yes” vote in September then the cost of Tesco’s shopping will rise by 16%.

    Would Tesco put their prices up just because of this? You operate stores in the Republic of Ireland, with pricing that does not result in a rush of shoppers flooding across the border. I imagine you would operate stores in a possible Independent Scotland.

    I expect this is all nonsense, so I am really interested to know if you have complained to the “Better Together” campaign and have requested of them that they clarify this prominently and publicly.

    Day to day household economics are a MAJOR factor in helping people make up their minds in the debate, and allowing gross is representation of the situation is deceitful.

    Can you confirm if you have contacted “Better Together” over this, and if not will you and demand they apologise and clarify the situation publicly?

    Many thanks

    In an independent Scotland we will replace Scotland 2014 with Dateline Scotland.

    At least it’ll be intentionally hilarious.

  31. Does Two Jags realise who he will be taking on with this: combine the Scotland and England football teams to take-on the Germans.

    Did nobody from SLab tell him, when it comes to keeping hold of personal perks, living the high life on expenses, doing what’s best for them and to Hell with the little people – NOBODY can get close to the SFA’s Hampden “blazers”.

    Hell will freeze over before they give up their wee perks, the foreign trips, the all-night bevvy sessions on the SFA credit card. Celtic and Rangers will amalgamate before the SFA blazers will submit to aligning themselves with the English FA.
