Looney Labour Admin in Glasgow comes up with mind-boggling PR stunt. Incorporate the demolition of 5 of the Red Road Multis into the media event for the opening of the Commonwealth Games !

You could not invent stories like this.

These two articles are the two best ones I've read when it comes to the yes side. I encourage everyone to read them. :)

I've also been involved in some of the campaigning on the yes side and hopefully if anyone has questions I can help answer them with actual facts, which is often missed on both sides of the argument. :)

Certainly, the Project Fantasy proponents are trying and claiming anything to take power.

The Weimar Republic preceded the Nazis no? It was during the time of the Great Depression, Hyperinflation.. the economic turmoil that helped the Nazis gain the popularity it did.

Presumably a reference to a belief (or possibly hope since obviously everyone in London in particular and England generally is just a thief basically) that the London economy is due to implode in the near future. In which case it is curious that the SNP wish to share the currency of such a bunch of rogues.

I know the history of the Weimar Republic (one of the perks of being married to an historian), but I was puzzled by the reference. We don't actually have a depression, or hyperinflation in the UK at the current time, so how can we have the 'smell' of Weimar?

It was just an odd thing to say, and I wondered why he said it.
