Godwin's law [Link]

I like the link - very true I think.
In my case, as the SNP are both socialist and nationalist in outlook, calling them National Socialist was an attempt (a weak one I know) at a joke. I of course accept that the SNP are not Nazis in any way.

The most successful party fought an anti austerity campaign and nearly swept the boards. I wonder why? The SNP weren't the most successful party in terms of seats or share of vote. They were 3rd in number of seats and 6th in vote share! Tbf it would have been quite difficult for them to have done much better. Of course Hoof is being facetious. He knows that to gain 55 or whatever seats when contesting around 60 seats is by far the most successful showing by any party. I am not being facetious! Scottish people should remember this. They are less than 8% of the UK population. Last year they voted amongst themselves to remain part of the UK. The UK is a democracy that they are a part of.... 56 seats entitles them to no more of a say in running our country than Labour or Conservative and parliamentary votes will reflect this on important issues. Nicola Sturgeon can bleat all she likes but she is duty bound to accept what Westminster determines. Carp. She's a fish not a sheep. Optimistic as ever

This woman hates the Tories and she will prove a thorn in their sides throughout the term in office.She will have nothing positive to say about them at all and I await the stream of anti-Tory rhetoric. Can see a very frosty relationship between her and Cameron. I can see her getting shot down more than once in the coming weeks until she realises she is not so powerful down this neck of the woods as she is up there in Jockland....She will learn the hard way especially if the government give her ALL the tax rights she craves in Scotland and let her run it on her own away!!. Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.
