    OK, I'll nibble. Alistair Carmichael confirmed that the memo originated from the Scotland Office, not north of the border as you claim. They have two offices, one in Edinburgh, the other in London.

    Scotland Office: Edinburgh


    1 Melville Crescent
    Edinburgh
    EH3 7HW


    Telephone 0131 244 9010
    .


    Scotland Office: London


    Dover House
    Whitehall
    London
    SW1A 2AU

    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    No, golach. St Andrew's House was not involved with the memo as it is where the Scottish Government has its HQ.

    Yes....and we all know that they mean NO, they ( SNP ) dont accept the democratic wishes of the 55% who voted to stay within the UK, still covertly carping and plotting away even though they got the finances needed for an independant Scotland so totally wrong...why dont people see this absolute fact !!!!!. I hope whoever gets in in May scraps the barnet formula and forces the SNP majority to implement and manage all finances / manage taxation in Scotland pay for everything ourselves including contributions to defence and foreign policy.....every sane commentator knows that we would be staring at a big black hole right in front of us. Thats one good reason why Sturgeon will need to be pals with Cameron...stop any full devo of financial powers / retain Barnet formula and in a hung parly, the SNP will support the Tories.

    Here is a question for you, would Labour just pack up and go home if the tories won the next general election? The obvious answer to that is No, so that is them not accepting the democratic wishes of the country as well. In the words of Bob the Bruce, try try try again.

    Same equally appies to any party who face a white wash at the elections...dont get your point whats so ever ! If Labour lose a ton of scottish seats or indeed the election then they carry on same as every other party that doesnt gain power so what thats to do with not accepting democratic wishes of the country is quite beyond me : you lose thats it ! Fact 55% voted no at the referendum, SNP accepted this and changed strategy ( apperently ) to back off another referendum,in the short term anyway, latest SNP defector is in papers today saying that the SNP "secretly" want tories in, ie for their own political good, not because its best for Scotland. Duplicous liars who obviously have fooled a substantial amount of the electorate. This mess will get scary in years to come ! Ram it !
