    Rev – To put it simply – your work is invaluable to the cause of Scottish independence and is appreciated by all Scots who would see their country return to being a normal nation.

    Keep up the good work, Rev, your posts are fascinating, amusing and essential – not necessarily in that order!

    So, what is her view on Trident?  They might have asked her seeing as they’d tracked her down and all.

    This must have been a repeat if it was in the SoS as I read it a couple of weeks back They must have felt she needed the exposure

    I’m struggling but in the end pity wins – she’s just completely out of her depth and it’s excruciating – but it’s hard when her tactics are so deplorable. Perhaps independence from Westminster will allow Scottish parties to find their principles again. They’re going to have to dig deep to get through all this shite first though.

    Yup, they’re watching you! haha well done Rev 🙂
     
    Anyhoo, Lamont is still a skelped arse hiding under an Alan Bennet wig! (sorry Alan).

    I’m beginning to think that slab’s policies are similar to Arthur C Clark’s The nine billion names of god. The premise being that if you write the name of God then the stars will blink out of existence and the universe will end. .. Mibbie we should stop asking Lamont just to be on the safe side.

    I think it safe to say, Scotland will never need someone like Johann Lamont.

    Oh, but of course they never bothered to name the blog of which they speak: after all, somebody might stumble upon some of the things you’ve said about The Scotsman!

    Sorry, but after that use of a false rape trial story at a FMQs (back when she was Deputy IIRC), I can’t really pity the woman. On that occasion, she was either being utterly vile or incredibly stupid.

          I seem to recall that jo lament was a ministrex who told the parliament that men can NEVER be the victims of domestic abuse.  If anybody knows how to search the archives for 2004-6 they might well find it. Unless it was baillie but I remember it as a much thinner lament. 
     A deeply vile woman

    Reminds of the scene in Coming to America where Cleo McDowall (John Amos) who runs his own fast food restaurant called McDowalls is seen reading the McDonald’s operations manual.
     
    Back when Eddie Murphy made funny films.

    I find Johann desperately depressing. She seems to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders and and reacts to every aspiration expressed by those supporting independence as a personal insult.
     
    She didn’t support devolution though did she?

  24. Davy says:

    Perhaps Lamont has a bittie of a ‘bunker mentalitiy’.
     
    Keep up the good work REV.

    Reply
  25.  From the article “and net public satisfaction for Lamont is ahead of that for Salmond.”  Is this true or just made up?

  26. Joybell says:

    @ Tree of Liberty
    I believe the poll you refer to was taken several months ago and because the majority of people in Scotland don’t watch FMQ’s and therefore don’t get to see what an unattractive person she is they couldn’t truthfully say anything bad about her.
     
    Alex, on the other hand, is very well known, and from what I remember, more people approved of him than didn’t.

  27. Joybell, thanks for that. So, just made up?

  28. Stuart Black says:

    Yet, despite the quote at the top of this page, I thought the interview was a very, very friendly one, Peter Ross going out of his way to say nice things, and point out positives.
     
    This though: and net public satisfaction for Lamont is ahead of that for Salmond.
     
    I was in Kansas a wee minute ago, where the fuck am I noo?

    OT! I’ve noticed that Newsnet Scotland is advertising on a local radio station in Aberdeen (Original 106). Are any other radio stations carrying advertising for NNS?

    Radio Free Scotland refer to articles every week that appear on here as well as other blogs anything that they feel may advance the cause Not advertising as such They’re fans of the Rev of that there’s no doubt

  33. Albert Herring, thanks for that. 33%,  jings, the people who are satisfied with her performance must have rocks in their heid.

      Does it include SNP voters?

    I’ll say this for Johann Lamont, she hasn’t been forced to resign over financial irregularities yet.
