Subject: RE: BS: Scotch People running the country
Interesting Giok, Tony B, had a classical upper middleclass up bringing, I mean Fettes (an exclusive school) Oxford (an exclusive university) - called to the bar as a barrister. Very upper class, yet you say "Anyway, as far as I, [a Scot] am concerned, he is a traitor to both his country, and his upbringing." ????

Which reminds me of the joke :-

A Cloud in heaven, sitting on this cloud, harps in hands, are Joe Stalin and Leon Trotsky.

Leon T " Well Joe, this is surpising, for all our diffences and struggles we both end up here, in heaven, singing in the Choir of Angles - I mean what did we have in common ?"

And Uncle Joe turned round, to his pipe out of his mouth and replied, " Well Leon, when all is said and done, we both remained true to our class and upbringing."

And for those (ahem) political illiterate's who don't get the joke PM me and I'll explain it.

" Leon Trotsky is a facist,
And I know this for a fact,
For I read it in our Pravda,
When they signed the non-aggresion pact."
