Don't worry, like politicians and meeja vermin I never bother about reality when I'm having fun. (But it's very annoying when people don't get wound up about it!!!!!) So if you weren't a weedgie how come you support celtic?
Well the truth is I was born about 20 miles from Glasgow and went to an RC school. I started to get an interest in footy just at the same time as Celtic set off on a huge winning spree (circa 1966), and along with about 90% of my peers, deemed it a sensible idea to pin my colours to their flag so to speak. They have remained there ever since through thick and thin. Anyway, your new thread has now appeared so onwards and upwards. What were you doing in Dundee by the way?
Never was a weedgie, but don't let that spoil your fun. More to the point, what happened to your "porky" thread, or did I dream it?

To all intents and purposes DG, I have been living outside of Scotland for the last 30 years. The last 17 mainly in England. Your point being?
that you might be physically living outside Scotland but in your head you're still there. Or at least you're in some idealised version of it, some nostalgic dream world where the Scottish education system was still the envy of Britain, where people were fiercely proud of their background however humble it was, where tolerance was common (both religious and racial) and where the generosity of spirit of (the majority of) people more than made up for the crap weather.
Mind you, you're a weedgie so perhaps you prefer piss-stained alcies..........
it's difficult to believe I know, but not everybody in the world is a piss-stained
sectarian bigoted alcie who needs the rest of society to look after them.
(Now there's a perfect opening for your really hysterical 'oh that'll be a rangers' fan' joke).

apparently, he was blamed the other day for asylum problems, he had the audacity to pass a law that prevents the government just chucking out people they don't like, the asylum seekers actually get a right of appeal.
Yes, as has been mentioned before - Cameron's only goal is to get elected and his way of doing that is to appeal to as many people as possible as a better way than "new" liebour, whether it be green, blue or yellow.
Once elected he can then start to reveal the hidden damage caused by this government and bring in some necessary "traditional" Tory medicine to cure the Winter of Discontent II.
Traditional hard-line Tory diatribe (a necessary salve to liebour's mismanagement of UK plc) has become so unpalatable to the electorate through constant liebour spin, that even policies that sound reasonable have quickly become repugnant once they have been identified as originating from the Tories.
It seems that he would do almost anything to become popular.
If he is not popular he will not get votes. If he doesn't get votes, we are stuck with New Labour for another term.
Hague, Duncan-Smith and Howard tried appealing to voters as proper Tories and look what happened to them. Kinnock and Foot tried it as proper socialists, and they were buried.
It is a means to an end, DG, something Labour worked out twelve years ago, the third way.
So, if voters want to hear a load of old boll0cks, give 'em a load of old boll0cks. In fact, sit back and enjoy the show. Watch and chuckle at what you have to do these days to appeal to the average, boneheaded Brit!
