Andrew Mackinlay, MP for Thurrock in Essex, (reports the Times), suggested the sensitivity of the party’s high command to the issue, (doubling the tax rate for the poorest in the country), was blunted by the fact that local elections are not taking place in Scotland, where so much of the Labour establishment is based.
“If they had been going to the polls in Scotland next week, the political antennae would have picked this up and we wouldn’t be where we are now,” he said. “This might have done 10 days ago. It won’t do now.”
A Commons Committee reporting next June with recommendations that will be ignored by the arrogant politicians, elected by Scots in Scottish constituencies, who are running the Treasury and the New Labour Executive, including the Prime Minister who has only ever won an election in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, is not remotely good enough.
Scotland has a prime minister, Alex Salmond, and its own parliament. And very good they are at running their country in a decent and reasonable fashion. Who on earth are these other Scots infesting our lives, in all their incompetence and dishonesty, at Westminster?

I said long ago that 1997 reminded me of 1603.
The integration of the various tribes of the British Isles 300 odd years ago created a prototype mini-Schengen agreement. No borders, no immigration controls = trouble ahead which we are powerless to alleviate (at the moment!).
According to the maps published in todays'papers, all the history of these islands is to be largely irrelevant. Southern England joins northern France etc. I think Scotland is supposed to become part of Denmark, but they will have renegotiated their relationship with the EU after independence is taken before that comes into effect.
