You don’t keep loyalty by coercion!
It may work for a while, but one day soon, the dam will burst. At the moment the threat by their Leader to sack the lot of them by calling an election seems to be enough to hold them fast. There wi…

If it’s not sleaze, it’s corruption! A picture of today’s politics covering nearly the whole of the world. Can we change things in our wee corner of the world? Well, we could, if …

The lesson learned, never give up!
If ever Liberate Scotland were being tested, it was over the past 6 months. But their dogged determination to fight for a different kind of politics won the day. I suppose one could say the experie…

Be careful what you wish for!
Another day, another defection! It’s getting quite boring now. Politics has become a business, where one jumps to where the opportunities are. Loyalty? ….. forget that. No need to worry about…

Everything is open to interpretation!
As you are aware I am very succinct when I write, this is for two reasons. I hate ‘waffle’ and I use my blog as a pointer to the truth. I feel that all should come to their own conclusions. I think…

People are looking for direction, the ground beneath their feet feels shaken. It’s not only the magnetic north that has moved…..normal has moved! Nothing feels the same any more. Labour promised c…

Do we give too much oxygen to stupidity? Probably! I can think of one man who loves all the attention he gets and come to think of it, a few people in Scotland. We have many outstanding writers, bl…

Polls are just Polls, and they do get it wrong!
…….and you would be surprised just how wrong they can be. Instead of showing a broad picture of voting intentions, they have become a marketing tool. Paid for by the leading Parties, they hope that…

The three wise monkeys…..
The real meaning behind this proverb is ‘avoiding negativity’. But it can also mean avoiding the truth, because many can’t go there. We say we want to be a better country, a country of integr…
