My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Tuesday, 16 June 2015. Other than viewers in Scotland, there was only one winner out of last months General Election. This much has been clear as Cameron unfurled the first full fat Tory Queen’s Speech since 1996 and the clock has felt as if it has wound right back to that period. Thankfully the revival in Dad-Rock has not appeared… yet. So far any chance to oppose has only co...

My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Wednesday, 31 December 2014. In The Year Of Our Referendum, 2014. Buchanan Street, 13 September 2014 - the so called "ground war". For Scottish people, 2014 means only one thing. It was the year or our referendum, where we debated and discussed before voting on whether we should leave the union. In May they topped the poll in the UK part of the European Elections. The most con...

My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Monday, 19 January 2015. Je Suis Charlie - Except In Scotland. You know, 2015 has started in utterly rubbish fashion. Political parties gearing up for the oncoming UK General Election and utterly failing to understand the trouble ordinary people are in. Then there’s the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. That cover shows the prophet being killed by someone ...

My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Monday, 27 October 2014. The Political Suicide of Johann Lamont. A couple of years ago I wrote a post where I argued that if Labour wanted to win, they needed to dump their leader Johann Lamont. Now that the referendum campaign is… well we’ll maybe comeback to that one…. Now the vote has passed, Labour has come to that conclusion. There’s the allegation that the General ...

My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Wednesday, 27 May 2015. This is still a thing. The most striking thing about this episode is the sheer ineptitude of Carmichael. Alongside being worse than a doormat in government and being utterly useless at removing their own leader last year, the Lib Dems have truly shown themselves up over the past couple of years. Unless you’re Clive Ponting…. Even if he does have a point.

The Slow Slow Death Of Scotish Labour. 8220; Act in haste, repent at leisure. 8221; – proverb. Why, It's The Man Who Saved The Union. If I’m honest, one of the reasons I voted the way I did on Thursday was the speeches given by Gordon Brown in the final 10 days re-iterating the promise of more powers for Holyrood. All through 2013 when the Spare Room...

You know, with all the praise heaped on the SNP and on to Salmond, you could be forgiven for thinking that the SNP don’t do duff election campaigns. You’d be wrong of course, unless you’d forgotten “ More Nat’s, Less Cuts. 8221; from the last Westminster elections. 8221; with Farage and co. Their taking of a seat in ...

So, yesterday, the day of Salmond and Darling’s second debate right? Well early on Monday I heard that Paisley’s TUC had arranged a referendum hustings for that night. So off I went, well you know I like a bit of a heated debate…. However when Mr Morrison started his opening statement it became clear that he was pro-Union. Especi...

Dispatches from Paisley: Intruding At The Wake

My take on news and politics from the front line of schemie culture. Just watch for the flying bottles of buckie on your way out! Thursday, 18 June 2015. Intruding At The Wake. Watching the initial skirmishes of the latest Labour Leadership campaign, you get the impression that both the politicians and the Labour ‘supporters’ in the media can’t quite get their heads around how and why they lost last months Westminster Election. In the section on leadership, where the standard bearer for a successful Soci...
