A very interesting read indeed...non propoganda, non party piece, contains some good points. of interest to me are :

"Nevertheless,it does still remain modestly acceptable to disagree with the SNP’s view ofthings. And possible to do so without betrayingScotland" ....thats my kind of talk...disagree and challenge the scottish government without the braveheart brigade of extremists shouting traitor / betrayer !!!!!!!
and ....."As a general rule I prefer the stupiditytheory to the mendacity concept of politics. That is, if a politician sayssomething obviously wrong it is more probably because they are thicker thanmince than because they wish to deceive the public. There are some exceptionsto this usual rule but, most of the time, dumb beats cunning" lol lol lol.............. I think maybe people forget that MP's / MPS's dont hold a monopoly on wisdom, and can be "thick"...just like all the rest of us
