Moving On


Well, we've all had a lot of fun watching Labour over the past few weeks and months. From their non-sensical approach to the budget votes to Wendy's 'unintentional wrongdoing', not to mention Hain falling on his expensive biro pen, the regular resignations from Team Wendy and her grudging acolytes all mumbling from a very similar hymn sheet.

For any SNP-fan, it's been the perfect tonic for a cold start to the year.

But now, with the budget passed and the sun outside blaring away, it is time to draw a line in the sand and kick on with getting things done.

The SNP are free to put their mouth where their money is with the budget out the way, Labour are free to come up with sensible opposition politics now they have the Electoral Commission off their backs, the Tories are free to continue their occasional bed-hopping with the Nationalists and the Lib Dems, well, they're free to play Tiddlywinks or whatever as I'm not too sure what they're up to these days.

But best of all, journalists are now free to write real stories (which is a rarity these days) so everything is set up for some real Politics to occur and be reported on for a change.


Just a shame those lazy beggars at the Parliament have taken the week off!
