Socialist for business and banking, austerity for the rest of us.

The biggest chance we had since 1945 to take free-market capitalism up a p1sh-stinking lane and kick the seven shades out of it as due punishment for its innate cruelty and me-first operational methodology, was passed on in 2009.

Now the shares have been given back to the usurers and larcenous, to do it all over again, plus interest naturally.

That cnut lives beyond the grave.

Spineless baystards.

You ken fine well it was minkers that use Libraries and other such public services that caused the crash.

Great stuff. Warming up nicely.

Russian ambassador to the UK coming as close as you can to accusing British involvement in the recent drone strikes on airbases. He used similar rhetoric when Russian ships were getting sent to the bottom of the Black Sea.

Anyone else think the UK and Russia should stop flirting and just get down to it?

Who'd ever have thought that two megalomaniacs would fall out.

It's going to be epic.

Popcorn at the ready.

Rinsed out pinkoes win the by-election. Better than Farage’s racist shysters, I suppse.

**** all for ‘Labour’ and Scotland’s SDP to celebrate though. Those neo-Nazi ****s need chasing from everywhere - maybe incarceration in Larkhall where they go down well.

John Curtice counsels: “Professor Sir John Curtice has been looking at the numbers, and tells BBC Scotland's Martin Geissler that there is nothing from tonight that runs against the bigger political picture, with Labour's vote share down.

That means the party's recent revival "has disappeared", but while the SNP have "steadied the ship" since last summer, it failed to make progress.

As the SNP vote share declined slightly more than the national average, it cost them the by-election - and Curtice notes the Greens taking several hundred votes could have hurt the SNP.

Reform's success is a surprise, says the polling expert - tonight almost matched their best performance in a Scottish election. He adds tonight is "very bad news" for the Tories, who are "being had for breakfast, lunch and dinner" by Reform with the public.
Both the SNP and Labour need to think about how to deal with Reform, says Curtice, pointing to how both parties gave a lot of publicity to Reform. He estimates around one in six Labour voters from last year is now drifting to Nigel Farage's party, and it has a "lot of work" to do to regain them.”

I suspect Reform to do well up around these parts in next years elections, which will be embarrassing.
I've no issue with seeing SNP given a kicking, but Reform.

Imagine thinking they would change anything for the better.

The only way the can realistically stop the boats, which seems to be their main agenda, is to sink them at sea, which would put us on a footing with Russia and Israel.

I'll not be voting Labour, but I'd far rather have them in power than Reform.

I suppose writing that sums up the state things are in.

David Beckham is to be given a knighthood.

This sort of thing makes me glad that I turned down mine. Well, I would have turned it down if I had been offered one.
