Barbarian Politics: May 2012
http://barbarianpolitics.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Thursday, 24 May 2012. Back to Sitting on the Independence Fence. I've decided to go back to sitting on the fence, at least where it relates to being in favour of independence. Some of their policies on independence are - to put it bluntly - a bloody mess. Currency - first the Euro, now Sterling. Defence - the recent decision on whether an i...

Barbarian Politics: October 2011

An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Saturday, 29 October 2011. Mistakes, I've Made A Few. I'm sure that most, if not all politicians could relate to Ol' Blue Eyes lyrics. Two cock ups this week which prove an earlier point I made about an apparent lack of middle ground in Scottish politics, at least in public. First of all, we had Ian Davidson (who he? Then the First Minister ...

Barbarian Politics: Private Lives
http://barbarianpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/07/private-lives.html
An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Wednesday, 25 July 2012. Given the excellent decision of the Scottish Government to allow gay marriage, it highlights the fact that provided someone does not break the law, rams their beliefs down our throats or causes problems for others, then their private life is no one elses business. Marriage is not necessarily a religious ceremony thes...

An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Monday, 28 November 2011. BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2011. Yes, it's that time of year again when viewers will vote for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2011 (thank goodness for copy/paste! The nominations are in and likely to cause a bit of a stir. The full shortlist of ten is:. Barbarian of the North. I'm not a member of any ...

An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Saturday, 28 July 2012. Ignoring the obscene cost of the whole Olympics, something better dealt with in another article, the opening ceremony was superb. Three things stood out however:. The Olympic Cauldron was amazing and certainly unique. A masterful design. Barbarian of the North. Wednesday, 25 July 2012. Given the excellent decision of ...

Barbarian Politics: Service Disruption (Again!)
http://barbarianpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/08/service-disruption-again.html
An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Saturday, 11 August 2012. Due to some ongoing domestics, I'll have some difficulty in updating the blog for a while, possibly a few weeks. I can't access the blog from work, so until I get some things sorted, I'll basically be able to do bugger all. So apologies for the absence, but there's plenty else out there to keep you amused. I'm a for...

Barbarian Politics: Petty Nationalism
http://barbarianpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/08/petty-nationalism.html
An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Friday, 3 August 2012. Just read a post on another blog, where the person (NOT the blog author I must add) slagged off a Scottish Olympian (scolympian? By calling the individual an "out and out unionist". The same with Andy Murray, another Scot classed by the cybernat brigade as a "unionist traitor" (I've seen that exact phrase used more tha...

Barbarian Politics: What do the SNP really want?
http://barbarianpolitics.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-do-snp-really-want.html
An alternative view to the world of news, politics, sport and anything else that catches my eye. Cynicism and humour are a potent mix, but let's not get too serious. Saturday, 21 July 2012. What do the SNP really want? I ask this question because I'm now totally confused as to precisely what the SNP propose for an independent Scotland. Complete bollocks (as Mr Anonymouse commentator says on a few blogs) but bloody good sales technique - if you like calling people at night saying "just doing a survey".

History and Other Ramblings. To fire the blood of the troops. History is a very important subject. You have to remember things. Judging by Ed Milliband's spectacular faux pas during a radio interview, he probably achieved a D minus for history, since he failed to to remember one of the Scottish Labour Par...Meanw...
