Says The Scotsman: MOST Scots still believe that Westminster has much more influence on their lives than the Holyrood parliament – even on devolved affairs, according to the ICM poll… The findings will come as a relief to Jack McConnell and the Labour ministers in the Scottish Executive who have come under fire during this […]
Scottish Labour in turmoil
Scottish Labour are in turmoil because they *gasp* could get below 40 seats. That’s greedy of them — that’s still two thirds.
Population rise
Scotland’s population has gone up for a change.
Scottish Standard on its last legs?
It didn’t take long — The Scottish Standard appears to be on its last legs, after only its sixth issue. SCOTTISH Standard, the pro-independence weekly tabloid newspaper launched last month, has reportedly cut staff. The latest casualty is understood to be its business editor, Nick Bibby… It is believed the editorial team now numbers five. […]
Trip to West Wemyss
I spent more than twelve hours in bed last night. That’s more than half of the day for crying out loud! My mother told me to go on a walk, and my friend David wanted to go on a walk aswell. We decided to go to West Wemyss in the end, a tiny town just […]
Ben Ledi and Callander

Jamie Oliver and the Scottish Six

I get roped in, I find it very interesting and I say, “Yes, it’s good that children will finally be able to eat healthy school […]
I was always the patriotic one
Scotland have played Italy this evening, messing about with BBC One’s brand spanking new Saturday night lineup. A conversation between me and my mother: Me: It’s not as if we’d win. Mother: But we will win. Me [sarcastically]: Yeah, yeah. Well we didn’t. But from what I saw, Scotland didn’t play too badly — but […]
The Tories just lost a non-vote
That’s right. A little Scottish blog called Katherine’s Adventures is kicking up a right wee storm. You see, Katherine is working in the Scottish Parliament for Brian Monteith, a Conservative list MSP for Mid-Scotland and Fife. So he’s one of my MSPs, which makes this interesting. (Update: Just thought I’d add that he’s only one […]
