    Mundell is just a fool. Who in their right mind would vote for such an embarrassment. Some borderers what are yous thinking? How could anyone vote for such a clown. He is in the wrong outfit. Mr Trimble.

    Good one Chris-wonder if this is how he views himself?

    Depicting Fluffy Mundell as a lion tamer is being a tad optimistic Chris. Of course, Scotland’s demands have grown from the drivel that slithered out of Smith Commission.

    I percieve much fun ahead as #Team56 run rings around Fluffy-the poor man is not going to know what’s hit him.

    They say Gaelic doesn’t pay. Gaelic music and culture brings in £Billions to Scotland. The tourist, music, film, costume, fashion, literature and historical trail. £Billions in exports. Including The 40Million Scottish diasporia, in US, NZ, Australia and the rest of the world. The Oil technology contracts, and contacts with the rest of the world worth £Billions. Scotland is always punching above it’s weight, and could do even better without outside interference and Westminster.

    O/T As part of my morning survey of BBC r4 propaganda, I listened in disgust at James Naughtie trying to rewrite history. Parts of the media were skeptical about Frenchgate. The BBC covered it repeatedly for days with very little sign of any question about its accuracy, that doesn’t sound like skepticism to me.

    Mundell will be gone by Christmas – he’s not up to the job what so ever. The first bit of pressure applied to that little wessel and he’ll start crumbling.

    Rock and a hard place comes to mind – hex gonna be gettin it from Tory HQ to rule with an iron fist those uppity jocks and then sturgeons gonna have him in knots.

    He’s gonna melt down in a matter of months.

    I mean seriously folks think about it. If that man came to any of yous trying to lay down the law you’d look at him up and down and then tell him to bolt.

    The situation nicely captured!

    Thing is, the pre election proposals actually fell well short of what Smith suggested. And, what Smith suggested fell well short of the offers/vows/promises made to secure the No win! Submissions to Smith by everyone except the Unionist parties DID match the promises.

    Ashcroft exit poll, question …

    “I am going to read out three reasons people have given for voting NO. Please can you rank them….”

    25% of No Voters gave their main reason as…

    “A NO vote would still mean extra powers for the Scottish Parliament together with the security of remaining part of the United Kingdom, giving the best of both worlds”

    OK, it’s muddled because “extra powers” is combined with “security”, but this is a strong indication of the effect offers of extra powers had on the result.

    IMO They NEED to deliver what they offered, or the result was invalid. Simple.

    And here’s another thing.Mr Carmichaels smear fraud was aimed at Nicola Sturgeon,the First Minister of Scotland.The First Minister of Scotland was the target of fraudulent,deceitful dirty tricks.This was not just an attack on Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP.It was an attack on our democratically elected Scottish Parliament.It is important we recognise that.Its important Ruth Davidson,Kezia Dugdale,Patrick Harvie,Willie Rennie and Nicola Sturgeon reflect on that.I would expect the Speaker in the Scottish Parliament to take a very firm line on this.A full enquiry should be launched.
    Mr Carmichael should also be called before The Scottish Affairs Committee in Westminster.As should Euan Roddin.

    How could anyone vote for Mundell?

    He seems to be a pleasant enough chap in person. He gives the impression of working hard in the constituency, although much of that mainly consists of taking the credit for routine stuff the council does well. He’s never held high office or had a position in the political limelight so there’s been much less opportunity for him to have committed a serious blunder. And there has never been a whiff of scandal about him. He seems to be happily married and his expenses are nothing out of the ordinary. He’s never been accused of trying to feather his own nest.

    Of such trivial virtues is a successful election campaign made.

    Worst still Ken are the 800 plus totally UNELECTED people sitting in the House of Lords: The HoLs that can only cope with seating 400 people.

    No interview for the job necessary, no particular skills required, no IQ or psychological tests carried out.

    Each one costs us, the taxpayers, approximately £124,000 per year in ‘running costs’.

    These are the buffoons, strutting about in their wigs and gowns, that are making decisions that impact on all of our lives for example the 13 members of the Economic Affairs Committee that rushed through fracking licenses. At least 5 of the members of the EAC have interests in Fracking companies such as Baroness Noakes.

    All have a job for life. No need to retire.

    Your comment,

    Reminded me of two jokes…

    What’s the difference between a duck?
    One of its leg is both the same.

    And the addendum my son supplied,
    What’s the difference between the other duck?
    It’s got one leg less too many.
