George Osbourne’s budget has fairly inflamed the wrath of socialists if social media is a measure of general opinion. It’s amazing how so many people have an opinion on a part of the bud...

Police Scotland have now contributed to the Scottish Government’s ‘named person’ policy.  Their reason is that the new police set-up may not have the capacity or resources to cope with...

This could well be a crucial week for Greece.  You’ve probably read that sentence somewhere every week since the banking crisis of 2008. I’ve never been to Greece. In the early 70s I ...

Last week HMS Bulwark was sent to the Mediterranean to rescue migrants from boats which had set sail from the African continent.  I use the words ‘set sail’ loosely as many of the photo...

The premature sudden death of Charles Kennedy last week exposed the hypocrisy of many of his colleagues. Some of the most effusive remarks came from the mouths of those ‘colleagues' who ...

I’m aware this is yet another post about the SNP’s policy of having a ‘named person’ for every child born in Scotland, but I make no excuses. This policy blatantly ignores the wishes o...

It doesn’t come as a surprise to those of us who are politician watchers that Alistair Carmichael lied about his knowledge of the leaking of the memo concerning a meeting with Nicola Stur...

Many times I wonder at our justice system.  On Tuesday a bakery company, which cites a Christian religious ethic on their website, was convicted of discrimination because they decided not ...

When the 56 SNP MPs arrived in Westminster on Monday I was delighted and hoped that they would be an effective and sensible opposition. Today the Guardian's headlines read ‘The SNP will ...

Yes it was an excellent result for Scotland but - there’s always a but - only from a UK perspective.  It would be a dreadful result in a Scottish election although fortunately that would ne...

Image from the Daily Mail It never ceases to amaze me how politicians and prospective politicians treat voters.  Yesterday Ed Miliband, quite rightly, was ridiculed for his ‘Tablet of ...

The campaigning of the ‘big three’ hasn’t exactly set the heather alight has it?  The American styled hustings have been a complete turn off for me. How can any politician be taken...

Over the years I’ve complained about the lack of media interest in the SNP.  As a party they’ve struggled long and hard for air time and any recognition in the printed press, but this tim...

Yesterday Nicola Sturgeon announced the SNP’s general election manifesto.  Most of the media were negative including the Daily Mail’s headline ‘A Match Made in Hell’. I’ve sk...

Did you watch the TV debate last night?  I still can’t decide if it was the over-rehearsed performances or the tightly scripted words from most participants that annoyed me. Farage and the ...

Facebook inspired this post.  The other day I noticed a question being asked - ‘Did you go to Sunday school?’ and was amazed at the number of responses such a simple question received. ...
