But you realise you left all your stuff in the building including your clothes and a guy called Hans allows you to stay at his providing you wear the overly tight lederhosen he's just taken back off his Greek neighbour.

You must wear the lederhosen.

In this stretched analogy is this choice between Hans wanting you to wear lederhosen and John Bull insisting you stay in the building whilst he pours more petrol about the place?

I had people today claiming that Labour voters were to blame for SNP seats going to Tories, even when Lab vote was pretty stable and there was a clear swing from SNP to Tories. Biggest problem is people putting head in the sand and not accepting reality about what happened on election night.

2 issues which might come up:
EVEL - the new Scottish Tory MPs will be limited in what they can vote on, what about the DUP too? I think the Tories would have a greater majority for English only issues though so may not impact anything.

MPs under investigation - how many of the Tories re-elected were ones who were under investigation for 2015s expenses. I haven't seen it broken down anywhere, but the more of those there are the bigger the potential for early by-elections.

Good to hear. I only voted Lab because there was a good campaign for socialism candidate in my ward. The immediate reaction of SLab leadership to attribute seat gains on bing anti-indyref etc did not help increase the chance of me voting SLab again.

To not stand for Westminster as they can't achieve anything there, in exchange for extracting pledges of support for Scotland from both major parties? Probably impractical to be fair, but still better than loving the left wing.

Just to be clear, you think that in the 2017 election, the mistake the party who won 50% of the votes in 2015 made was to stand candidates?

My favourite thing about Braveheart is at the beginning when Mel Gibson is careful to specify that Longshanks is a "cruel, PAGAN king". I don't know if that's marketing to the Yanks or Gibson's own Christian focus coming through but it's wonderfully out of character for what's supposed to be a Scottish freedom story.

Unless he meant "protestant".

I knew Gibson pulled “history” out of his arse but 13/14th century protestantism is a new one :)

Someone give me everything I need to know about this so I can bring this up to my mam as an example of the SNP's shiteness. Though actually don't bother, she'll just go "it'll be different under independence" somehow.

Basically, how can you have a rent freeze, wont someone think about the poor accidental landlords. If someone in aberdeen had to take a job in Edinburgh and is renting there then a rent freeze affects his “income” when renting out his mortgaged house.
