And another thing…

HAT-TIP to Alan (Cockers) Cochrane of The Daily Telegraph for highlighting a quote from the Richt Honourable Alex Salmond MP, MSP, First Minister of Scotland which, at the time, held none of the significance or irony it now does:

The Scottish banks are amongst the most stable financial institutions in the world.

He’s an economist, you know…

REMEMBER when the Tories supported the Union? Yeah, me too…

No longer, it seems. What was once The Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party is now simply The Scottish Conservative Party, according to Alan Cochrane of the Telegraph.

Perhaps they have (wrongly) calculated that the word “unionist” is a turn-off to the near-70 per cent of Scottish voters who supported unionist parties in the last Holyrood elections. 

Labour is now the only truly unionist party in Scotland, which will be a blow to those decent Tory voters and members who have effectively been told that support for the Union is now the policy that dare not speak its name.
