You think Gordon Wilson is "canny" do you?

A former SNP leader has attacked plans to introduce gay marriage, branding them "a step towards fascism".

BBC News - Ex-SNP leader Gordon Wilson attacks gay marriage

But Mr Wilson said Mr Salmond should instead run a much more negative campaign targeting the South East of England. “Scotland, with the moral support of the North, should strike at the southern cancer,” he said.

I agree with Michael Portillo that Trident is a total waste of money and resources. Now don't get me started on that sodding aircraft carrier that was launched today. No planes to put on board it !

Obviously the only poll that matters is the one on 18 Sept. Certainly 35% is up on what the SNP election votes so on that basis they have made some progress during the campaign.

True.

It was interesting that at the end of the article they couldn't resist to add:
"A spokesman for the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign said: “Three other recent polls have recorded a significant increase in backing for Yes, with average support for independence at 47 per cent."

Polls, eh!

Shrek has publicly stated the following (not Rooney)
However, when the interviewer asked what Shrek would say, Myers - in a Scottish accent - replied: "Shrek wants what the will of the Scottish people want."
He then added in his own accent: "I love Scotland. I hope they remain part of Britain - and if they don't, I still love them."

So is change good donkey?
