I am, by...It is where to start, I am sorry to say.<br /><br />I am, by nature, someone who does not prejudge others until I have had the pleasure and opportunity to know them beyond first impressions, of which I admit to wrong in a statistically significant fashion.<br /><br />I looked at Mr Carmichael, at his half noose tie and his hallowe'en cake face and thought, let him speak.<br /><br />I have heard him speak and I am sorry but can hold it back no longer. He is down amongst the level of Johann Lamont even beyond Ian Grey.<br /><br />Are the London unionists seriously taking the piss or do they really not understand Scotland and believe the hard man "being there" adolatory crap which allowed these no-mark, no-hopers be promoted their level of incompetence of the Village Fete Committee?<br /><br />This man, for many reasons, has put the last nail in the coffin that was the SoS Office; please a YES and thus no more of these twats.<br /><br />I am beginning to think that I could be a better an SoS than him and I admit to being a ranter with no coherent sentences.<br /><br />We ned and can do better than this lot, without breaking sweat.<br /><br />Just think what decent Scottish politicians could do if they understood what they were doing and worked for the Scottish People?<br /><br />But then they would be in the SNP.<br /><br />Bugger le Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924663556503952533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488826927992195485.post-22498654117184685242013-11-15T01:28:40.611-08:002013-11-15T01:28:40.611-08:00Indeed.

They seem to prefer mutual benefit over a quick buck - which seems to be a far better way to comport ones foreign affairs.<br /><br />So to speak... ;-)pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488826927992195485.post-67457377022319930642013-11-14T07:20:50.265-08:002013-11-14T07:20:50.265-08:00Justine, bless her incompetent little socks, in he...Justine, bless her incompetent little socks, in her haste to make political capital out of the disaster, even managed to forget what country she was dealing with. She was about to send aid to Indonesia!<br /><br />I'd think that one of the reason that Uk foreign affairs thing costs so much money for so little return, is that like everything else London does, it's all about grandeur.<br /><br />Wherever you go the British Embassy is always bigger and more prestigious looking than other European countries' buildings, and the residences of the ambassadors are like royal palaces in many cases.<br /><br />Of course every country spends money to make their embassy and residence smart, and probably very few ambassadors take the metro, but we waste so much money on Rolls Royces and servants for the elevated...pretending we are still empire powers.<br /><br />This fur coat and no knickers serves, like so much else, only very few top people.<br /><br />As for aid, apparently, under the Michell character, it was one of the most inefficient of all departments, sending computers to villages with no electricity and bus tracking devices to towns where they already had them installed.<br /><br />I hardly think that the hapless justine will have made much of an improvement.<br /><br />Additionally, the Indian government has begged the UK to stop sending them aid as they don't need it or want it. Sure they have problems but the piddling sums that they receive from Britain are insulting, and badly directed and far too small to do any good, even if they were sent to the right palces.<br /><br />Madness.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
