No Confidence

Gordon voted No.

"I couldn't stand on the sidelines a moment longer," says the man who was First Minister until a mere fortnight ago.

Or is he saying that Holyrood is the sidelines, while Westminster is the real game? He does seem to be.

There were 11 SNP MPs in the hung Parliament of 1974 to 1979. How did that end?

But does anyone know if there is still a Frank's Bar in Lisnaskea? It sounds the kind of place to go in order to abstain in person.

  1. You seen this?

    Labour now vows to ban pro life protestors from going anywhere near abortion clinics.

    How any Catholic could ever vote for this rabble, I honestly do not know.

    1. Real Catholics don't read the Telegraph. It's for Tories.

    2. Imported American practice, never done any good. Like everything else to do with US pro-life, one of the most unsuccessful political movements ever.

      They are careful not to condemn this kind of thing outright while it remains legal, but no major pro-life organisation in the UK does it or condones it.

    3. Precisely.

      I have been involved in pro-life longer than in any other form of activism, and since before certain Telegraph writers were born. I know it inside it.

      In my experience, its ground troops are disproportionately not just Labour voters, but Labour Party members.

      Newspapers that think the American political fringe to be the British political mainstream, and English Catholicism to be a public school Tory pursuit concentrated in the South, can safely be ignored.

      Now, on topic, please.

    1. Who would? That's probably why I don't have any.
