    Red Ed? Naw. Poor Ed. He will be feeling a little blue today now that every left winger in the Labour party sees him for what he is.

    For a short period, thanks turnbul drier, I thought it was some sort of Western Blot test.
     
    I saw Darling’s eyebrows on a Milliband nose with two eyeless fish swimming towards the nose.
     
    I really will need to stop taking cheese late at night with my red biddy.

    Is it my connection but, I am noting, from France slow connection speeds to servers in the UK and some in the USA, and Wings in  particular.
     
    The page loads quickly enough but posts take an infinity to load and the message “transferring data from wingsoverscotland.com” fixed bottom left.

    UPDATE

    This post went smoothly and without delay

    I think some social media thing/traffic measuring thing or other causes pages on the site to take ages to finish downloading. I checked with chrome dev tools but forgot what I discovered.

    Actually, I thought at first it was George Osborne and a reference to some magic powder rumours associated with him.

    Osborne with ‘city sherbet’? Away man, surely you must be thinking of Ozzy?

    I like the suggestion of a St. George’s Cross on the true blue face of Ed. When he talks about One Nation, it’s not hard to work out which one he means.
