Gordon will not want to be associated with Scotland this year for a couple of reasons.

Firstly he doesn't want to be seen as part of the expected decimation of Labour north of the border.

Secondly he's not Scottish anymore, he's British!

You could have had his prints as well, Guido, if you'd only asked

Hm - of course Gordo the what? will not be seen. He is not a leader. He is NOT the Real Thing. He is a coward within himself. And let's stop calling all the drivel that Bliar and his cronies put about " spin". It used to be called " propaganda" and that is what it is

Labour are the only party who want to continue with the status quo in Scotland so let's hope the voters give them a good clunking.

The SNP could win it for Cameron.
Let them have independence rather than just dependence on England.
Let the miserable ginger haired fuckers sit up there piss wet through and cold and see how long they last. Good riddance.
Without Scotland we would never again have to endure a socialist government (providing we get rid of commie Dave)

Tony and Gordon have spent 10 years giving the Scots loadsamoney out of all proportion to their numbers and at the same time encouraging them to dispense with learning and civilisation and act like the savages they are. I think it would liven things up enormously if we declare war on them and duff them up a bit to punish them for sending their all their misfits and crooks down to London.

That wouldn't be too difficult, despite the Braveheart image makeover thanks to Mr Gibson, the Jocks have a lousy military record on a par with the Italians. Actually, I think the Italians have actually won more wars than the Jocks.

Hitchens. Would that they could. If the SNP get their way they will jump into bed with Europe faster than a thing that is faster than that, and in a less dignified way.

Instead of subsidies from Westminster, they would get subsidies from Brussels. There is also the fact that the replacement for Trident would then end up in Kent (no, make that Llandudno), thus increasing your chances of being a terrorist target.

Nicola Sturgeon would become a cult figure. My Nicola shrine is already under construction.

Scotland has its good points:

Marianne Faithfull? It would never have happened with a deep-fried Mars Bar.

Minekiller said...

Wrinkled weasel,

There won't be a replacement for Trident and as Kent is full of foreigners anyhow, so it doesn't matter if it gets nuked/dirty bombed/whatever. I am looking forward to Scottish 'independence' to see how they fare as a small backward periphery statelt of the EU, run by the current crop of world statesmen currently troughing up there at Holyshit house. At least we'll get a bigger laugh for our money and we won't have to listen to Gary or 'Lawro' refer to Celtic or Rangers as "A British club" when discussing European games on MotD. This also means that 'British' clubs will on aggregate do better in Europe stats-wise.

Presumably we'll beable to put all their economic and political assylum seekers in camps for up to six months at a time and apply the same employment legislation to those currently darn saf in Engerlund that regulates newer EU member states citizens in the UK.

Then we wouldn't have to worry about a 'save the Scottish regiments' campaign, pretend we like Burns night, or rate Runrig as a real band.

My favourite party is now the SNP....Go for it Scotland!!


Oh the joy!

Mr Weasel
please note that I would also like England to withdraw from the EU, I would also build one of those nice big Israeli style walls across the borders with Scotland and wales (another nice bit of land ruined by its inhabitants) Then set about the tracking down and public execution of every illegal immigrant, ban Catholicism cut tax to a flat rate of 20% of income, bring back the death penalty for a large number of real crimes, rape/murder/child molestation, bring back public floggings for "minor" crimes such as mugging and burglary and make socialism a capital offence, compulsory RE (Christian) in all schools. Liberalise the Firearms laws and make it compulsory for householders to shoot burglars dead.
Sensible policies that would lead to a happier England.

Wikipedia says the following

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forlorn_hope

"A forlorn hope was typically led by a junior officer with hopes of personal advancement. If he survived, and performed courageously, he was almost guaranteed both a promotion and a long-term boost to his career prospects."

It then goes on to say the consequences of a successful breach is an agreed surrender or a masscare. In otherwords if the Blairites win Scotland then Brown has to stand down or accept a massacre of his people. Therefore Brown must be confident of losing Scotland and with it the crown, that or he knows jack-sh*t about tactics (I suspect the second).

"There was a symmetry between the risks faced by the forlorn hope and those faced by the defenders. Once a breach suitable for assault had been made in the walls, defenders were usually given a chance to surrender safely. The defenders had already shown their determination and there would be no loss of honour in surrender. If however they chose not to take this opportunity, forcing the attackers to undertake an assault, the usages of war made them subject to massacre,"

Where's the comments on last night's attack on Gordon Brown by Stephen Byers?

Over the next few months the Blairites are going to show the Tories how to destroy your political opponents.

Cowardly Gordon (and his dwindling bunch of cronies) is shitting his pants as he awaits his ambitions going up in smoke.

Listen up, Jimmies. There are two Scotlands. One is the populated corridor between the curtain-twitchers of Edinburgh and the benefit-dependent work shy marxists of Glasgow, and this I grant you is a sorry mob indeed. For every Adam Smith, Kenny Dalglish and Billy Connolly, heroes all, there are approximately 100,000 narrow-minded, mean-spirited and intellectually-challenged bigots. My own theory is that many of them are only 3rd generation Scots, from Irish or English stock.

Then there is God's Own Country, just visible through the mist on most days and resplendent in all its glory on others: hills of purple, often snow-capped; glens of green and gold. Clear and delicious water abounds, whether for catching salmon or distilling the water of life. Populated by brave, robust and charitable folk whose humour, scholarship and conservative values are obvious to all but the most one-eyed southern visitor. I'm talking about the Highlands, lads, and apart from a wee outbreak of lunacy in Aberdeen, there's not a red seat north of Stirling.

Just as you long to be free of Scotland, so the Highlands would love to be free of the pretendy wee parliament in HolyShite.

Idle of that Ilk (Southern England)

Mr Hitchens
re burglars, and JHL for that matter - I am ready and waiting with my gun. Just let the fuckers try.

(humorous note..the last time I had "intruders" on my land, after midnight, it was the cops asking about a fracas down the road. I was that close to turning up on the doorstep with my rifle ready. Had they looked vaguely Brazilian, I might have fired first and asked questions later)

chaps chaps chaps

Look up uptight you are about Scotland but relaxed about independent Ireland..sooner we are good neighbours the better rather than all squatting in the one parliament.

It is a win win situation no bitter words required.
Time Europe's stateless nation - England - had the international recognition and status of France who can govern themselves without any Scots to help.

Idle said not a red seat north of Stirling.....

Excelt for Stirling itself, Ochil & South Perthshire (just slightly more northern!), Dundee West, Aberdeen Noth and Aberdeen South. So talk pish old boy.

And, whilst talking about benefit work shy people - just a wee fact: employment is at an all time high across Scotland AND Glasgow.

So save your factually inaccurate rubbish to yourself, loser.

JS - Read a map, prat.

The Aberdeens were mentioned. No others north of Stirling's boundary.

Pathetic isn't it, and they have the cheek to call themselves Nationalists.

Guido, I am indeed a reader of blogs. While you peddle inaccurate gossip about me, I will ensure that voters in Scotland know that a vote for the SNP is a vote to bankrupt Scotland's public services and to wreck an economy that his delivered the longest period of sustained growth in Scottish history. Growth which has cut unemployment in Scotland below the national average and cut child poverty faster than anywhere else in the UK. (Thanks, though, for taking the trouble to find an up to date picture of me.)

Guido Fawkes said...

Thanks for the PPB. Us Irish have a kindred feeling for nations yearning to be free from foreign domination. Scottish independence would mean they would have to take Gordon back as well...

Innacurate gossip?

You were interviewed by the police weren't you?

You were chief of staff to the former First Minister of fiddling?

What are you going to do after Tony - not try for a seat?

"Growth which has cut unemployment in Scotland below the national average and cut child poverty faster than anywhere else in the UK"

Not surprising when so much of our tax pounds have been diverted north to subsidise haggis herders.

Fuck off back to your own country,take that one eyed cunt with you and shut the door as you leave.

Both of these are, of course, the prorogative of the Labour Party and we don't like a bucnh of Johnnie Come-Latelys muscling in our (astro) turf.

I think Gordon's role as 'Teatime' in 'Hogfather' was the best piece of real-life acting I have ever seen.

If this was Bob Piper's blog you would be apologising by now for all this pathetic anti-Scottish whingeing...

As well as a whole list of things that are either denied to or restricted for the English, I now hear that social care is being to be restricted in England - and this while the Scots pensioners get free care and the Welsh are to get free prescription from April !!

Patience has worn thin. NO MORE!!

Matter of fact unemployment in Scotland is higher than the national average, especially when "on the sick" is taken into account. 60 000 such in Glasgow alone, highest levels in the UK. Ridiculously high levels in the work force. Child poverty reduction targets announced ad nauseam not being met and public services appalling. Growt rates in economy since 1999( advent of Lab/Lib Executive) all well below Uk and European averages.

There are more corporate european headquarters in Slough than in Scotland.

Union dividend; Aye, right.

The SNP could win it for Cameron if he had the testicular fortitude.

The SNP are committed to corporation tax & business rate cuts, knowing that that is what has made the Irish economy grow at 7% for the last 16 years. Should they get in & do so & should the economy become successful (as low tax free economies regularly are) any party in South Britain which was to be openly in favour of such business tax cuts could walk it.

Which is where testicular fortitude in connection with supporting a low tax free enterprise economy comes in.

Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to get colonized by. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
