Alex Salmond calls for English referendum

"Rebus, take me to the pub"

If I can offer a request to the rest of the UK don't fall into Salmond's trap, he is going to try and work you over the next year making division where there has been union for hundreds of years. Scotland voted by majority to be part of the UK, he knows that opinion cannot be changed internally so is looking to ferment something in England. That is what nationalism is, an ugly disease which lives off geographical difference.

"Rebus, take me to the pub"

Goodness me. You were scared of him this morning. Now you're showing of your 'humour' at his expense.

Strange thing about your posts is that they look like they've been written by ten different people, because you have no consistency to your thought process. Are you an alcoholic ?

It's 6 degrees where you are.

Actually it's 2 here in Geordie Land but with a bitter wind.

If you think 2 degrees is freeing you get a first class in BSc Engineering.

Congratulations, you have graduated and can now call yourself an Engineer in this country.

(don't go to Germany or the US and try and use engineer in your title I just gave you where they require you to have a Bachelor of Engineering to be called an Engineer)

I used to think TestMangler was a tester.

I now see that having a private school education and having to go into trade he mangled his exams.

What's the point of trolling a banned user who can't respond? You really are an idiot.

Labour set for a bloodbath in Scotland in general election, poll says | UK news | The Guardian

Lets just hope that this doesn't mutate into Labour working with the SNP to get a coalition or something like it... although I think that would aggravate the English electorate, were it to transpire, by making obvious what has been the case for years. That said, even if it were to happen, if the Tories entered a confidence and supply arrangement with UKIP they'd still race ahead.

I don't think the SNP would ever enter a coalition with labour. They may cooperate on certain things, but not a coalition. The SNP have always had a policy of not voting on English only matters.

Whatever happens and whatever anyone's views or beliefs, the 2015 GE should be more interesting than any election for a while, with the emergence of support for UKIP and the SNP. The 'main' parties will have to do more then try and sound the most trustworthy with what are essentially the same (focus group and headline tested) policies.
