...Merry Christmas Caron. I hope you had a good one.<br />I've never hated anyone in my life. Hate only makes the hater a lesser person so I don't hate Willie.<br />But I do think you should rethink your statement when you said.."he has been so effective in tackling Alex Salmond "<br />That's patently untrue.<br />And I stopped reading what you had to say there and then.<br />This is the problem that the Lib Dems have in the UK as a whole. As soon as you start speaking the people stop listening. We watch you with the sound turned down. Nick's photogenic gestures to camera for people to trust him. His solemn eye contact. All ignored as so much fakery and an attempt to treat us as fools.<br />But you seem a good sort so I'll wish you a Happy New Year to you and yours.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-41285921180085500342011-12-27T21:50:38.214+00:002011-12-27T21:50:38.214+00:00Well, I'm not sure I could have withstood the ...Well, I'm not sure I could have withstood the shock if you guys had had a good word to say about Willie. It's been clear from your comments so far that you hate him with a passion. I can only assume that's because he has been so effective in tackling Alex Salmond - remember when Salmond had to backtrack when Willie tackled him on the double question issue when he was backed up even by the SNP's favourite expert.<br /><br />Bob, Willie said times were tough and acknowledged that all politicians were trying to get to the same goal, even if their ideas of how to do so were different. How is that nasty? He's right to say that robust debate is important to scrutinise ideas - how is that wrong? <br /><br />And have you not noticed that the global economy is teetering on the brink and that's why cuts have to be made. In fact, the Tories would have cut a lot more on their own.<br /><br />As for tuition fees, sure, we made a huge mistake in the way that was played out in England. Sadly, free tuition would not have got through the House of Commons but by getting involved, we managed to create a system that means that the lowest paid will pay significantly less than under the system Labour created and significantly less than if the Tories had been governing alone.<br /><br />And having a bigger military footprint in Scotland is a much better outcome than we could have hoped for given the total bourach that was left at the MOD. Now, how many air bases would there be in an independent Scotland?<br /><br />CH, tell me exactly how I've let Scotland down by publishing the Christmas message of one of its political leaders - the one who's been acknowledged by many journalists to have really made an impact in Holyrood. <br /><br />Disagreeing with the SNP is not letting Scotland down. I know you would have preferred that the message was full of praise for your leader, but that's not generally how these things go. Maybe you could point me to where Alex Salmond has spent his messages bigging up his opponents?<br /><br />Anyway, happy new year to you all when it comes, and I'll look forward to another year of sparring with my three favourite SNP commenters:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988201531739344840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-75071252477746657862011-12-27T21:21:39.275+00:002011-12-27T21:21:39.275+00:00I gave you the benefit of doubt when you didn'...I gave you the benefit of doubt when you didn't post this bitter man's rant when it came out, sadly you have not only let yourself down but Scotland as well by publishing it.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-9162352188196763982011-12-27T15:19:01.857+00:002011-12-27T15:19:01.857+00:00Caron: I’m disappointed!

Rennie, is bad, and bad enough for saying this in the first place; you are trebly so for repeating it and dressing up such cheap nasty puff in the most transparent of half-hearted valedictions I have seen in many long years.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-56147828558605632582011-12-27T12:09:39.879+00:002011-12-27T12:09:39.879+00:00"While the Nationalists play a game of politi..."While the Nationalists play a game of political poker, bluffing their way from one missed opportunity to the next"<br /><br />How sad. But just what we've come to expect from the Lib Dems. Sold out in England and nasty in Scotland with no Christmas spirit of goodwill.<br />Oh and you do know that the cuts in Scotland are due to budget cuts from London don't you ? From Danny and his team ? You know Danny from up in Moray who closed Leuchars and kept Lossie open ? And that the Lib Dems reneged on their pledge to scrap tuition fees in England ?<br />Just checking.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-80599305172626804812011-12-27T11:48:34.884+00:002011-12-27T11:48:34.884+00:00Wise words?
