Shame On The SNP
That Not Alex Salmond chap who now speaks for the SNP in the Commons (of which Salmond remains a paid, but non-attending, member - one of his three public salaries and expenses packages) was not wearing a poppy yesterday, but instead something presumably indicative of Scottish Nationalism. Remember that, when next the SNP starts on (rightly or wrongly) about the Scottish regiments, or anything like that. In fact, remember it always.

If you're referring to Angus Robertson, he was wearing a metal poppy badge, in addition to a white rose.
ReplyDeleteI realise that this news will no doubt come as a terrible disappointment to you. Nevertheless, I trust that you will be big enough to set the record straight by first acknowledging then correcting your error.
Well, no one could see it. Which rather seems to matter.
ReplyDeleteNothing should obscure the poppy. Not even a rather quaint, if moving, expression of Jacobitism.
Nothing obscured it, David, except perhaps your own determination to find fault. And the gesture of wearing a white rose has about as much to do with Yorkshire as it does Jacobitism.
ReplyDeleteStill, I have to admire your consistency. You've managed to be every bit as graceful, charitable and well informed here in trying to draw attention away from your error as you normally manage to be.
Well, I couldn't see it, for a start. And I doubt that Robertson was making any sort of point about Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteJacobitism is in fact as Unionist a tradition as Hanoverianism, and they are each as English or as Scots as each other.
