Fishing for compliments?

Bairns not Bombs

Alex Salmond delivered a passionate speech at the SNP conference which focused on using a Yes vote as a platform to build a better Scotland. In one part of his speech he gave a "cast iron guarantee" that Trident would be removed from an independent Scotland and instead "we would build a system of childcare that will be the envy of the world."

If Scotland votes No

We had considered writing an April Fools' story for today but frankly most of the No campaign scare stories are so ridiculous that a hoax in comparison would seem sane.

Veneto residents vote for independence

After a week long referendum in the Veneto region residents have overwhelmingly voted to regain their independence reports The Telegraph. Out of 2.36 million votes cast 2.1 million were in favour of independence or nearly 89%. Veneto roughly equates to the area of the Venetian Republic which was an independent state for more than 1,000 years until it was incorporated into the Austrian Empire and then into the Kingdom of Italy in 1866.

Labour's Devolution Commission Report

Further analysis

In our previous article [not available, email only] took a cheap shot at Labour's Devolution Commission final report by suggesting we would list the major policy announcements and then presenting a blank page. The cheap shot was justified as the report itself is vacuous, filled with ambiguous statements and political double speak. Real positive policies which could improve the lives of Scots are nowhere to be found.

Can. Should. Must.
