British nationalist Gordon Brown argues that the answer to toxic British nationalism is ... more British nationalism. He was a failure but his loyalty to the British state and British security forces was never in doubt. This vacuous piece is therefore a fitting coda to his shabby political life.

Same stuff Labour used to say about the SNP. Wasted vote blah, blah, blah. Greens on the up and ready to start winning seats.

I'm not aware of the SNP standing aside for any Green candidates. No special reason for the Greens to do so in this seat.

The Israeli public vote was the result of politicised voting and gaming the system. The UK vote was the result of a shit song.

Would prefer him central but there is a buzz whenever he cuts in from the left to take a shot with his right peg. Given there's been precious little exciting play this season that's a bonus.

Has to be Dhanda. Important to reward effort and good performances. Also, Spittal's been a bit off the boil and can probably use the rest.

I wonder what level of pensions MSPs are on. Early retirement seems to be a very appealing option for them.

Celtic to win definitely. Don't want there to be any danger of Hibs winning the cup and / or putting us out. Plus I think we've a chance against Celtic, hopefully in the final.

Odd to celebrate the invaders in this way. The Romans attempted genocide north of the wall, notably under Septimus Severus. Would rather see a monument to those who resisted oppression.

Good night, Critchley comes across as a genuine bloke and inspires confidence. Mind you I went to a meet the manager with Naismith and was persuaded he knew what he was doing so I'm no judge.

Stone should be back in January, Scott Brown has publicly blamed him for a couple of defeats, poor man management, doubt we'll loan him any more players. McFarlane who's on loan at East Fife and playing every week may turn out to be the better prospect.

Gordon, Beni and Boyce all rated far too high, otherwise sound. Sadly Craig's done and Beni is too fragile. Boyce was finished two years ago, astonishing he's still hanging about
