I have just listened to Desert Island Discs with Phil Scranton. The contrast between him, his dignity, compassion, morality ,courage and love for his fellow human beings and the sorry excuse we have for a Government, lying and scheming all in their own self interest could not be sharper.

paddyann you call England ‘ not liking a foreign government running our ( Scotland) country, yet you are happy for the EU to do so.
Sad really, since we don’t think of Scotland as ‘foreign’ but as a beautiful and integral part of the United Kingdom.

Just a gentle reminder to anyone posting that GEORGE GALLOWAY always sues when people make untrue defamotary statements about him. Many know that to their cost.

What a strange thing to say blueskies

Well he'll have to sue the Scottish papers then won't he? Or Gransnet. There aren't enough hours in the day to take to court every person having their say regarding figures in the public eye, especially as we now have social media and internet fora and writers doing just that.

In fact blueskies your statement about George Galloway, above, paints him in a very unfavourable light. Be careful ! grin

GG wouldn't have gone into politics if he couldn't take the flak. I am sure he hasn't the time, money or the inclination to be scouring the internet to rake up comments on old stories which did him no favours a few years ago. Politicians have a much thicker skin - or learn to grow one, because they need it.
