CC


well he cant do any worse than the Blair-inflicted, unelected jock in charge now.............


He is as elected as Any other PM we have ever had.

I'm just sorting the music for the party when the slag dies, starting with ding dong the witch is dead :D


The current incumbent has never been elected by the people whose lives he influences. He sits for a scottish constituency in an english parliament that has little or no influence over the lives of his local electorate.

Most of the recent ones have at least had seats in english constituencies where english voters affect the make up of an english parliament.

It doesn't matter to Brown's constituents what he gets up to, they're ru;ed from Edinburgh.

Why are Number 10 and 11 Downing street both occupied by jock MPs when jockland has, at great expense, its own Parliament?

Because Scotland is still part of the UK, and the UK is run from those addresses.

no, not Brussels

Blame Germany for the war (its just up the road from Brussels)

They shot some captured Polish soldiers and used that as an excuse to invade Poland

Bankers everywhere are greedy but HMG didnt need to bail them out...

or did you mean GW1 and GW2?....blame Blair...

Scotland voted for a devolved parliament. We got fed up of English PMs making a balls up of our country and decided we could screw some of it up ourselves. The Welsh came to a similar conclusion. NI also has a devolved assembly.
The English prefer to let the UK parliament decide everything. That way they can blame Jocks, Europe or the tooth fairy for the sh*t they are in. Anyone but themselves :wink:

I wonder which way the overall flow of money is, south to north? i bet so

then the jocks will bleat about north sea oil, but they choose to ignore that they woul dnever have gone after it, and that it could have been accessed from our side of the border...
