i am increasingly confused by the insistent and angry comment on scotland in the media. surely unionist supporters were pleased with the result of the referendum and pleased that scotland would continue to be a valued and close partner in the uk. so why all the insults at the prospect of scotland having a say in the post-election government? folk in the north of our islands would seem to prefer a more sensible and slightly more centre-left/progressive direction. there are many thousands in england who would like this too. labour party used to aspire to something similar. it's thoroughly depressing (again) to see the response from the labour party. and just ridiculous is the hysterical nonsense fro the tories and their friends.
there is no need to go over the referendum debate (yet) again - the scots won't be off within the next parliamentary term and the political parties will have to work together to some extent. why all the pre-match abuse?
