The Hepburn Herald: The Earthquake has Arrived
http://520votes.blogspot.com/2008/07/earthquake-has-arrived.html
Friday, 25 July 2008. The Earthquake has Arrived. Much has been written across the blogs about yesterday's (or technically this morning's I suppose) SNP victory in Glasgow East. Not a lot to add other than to say how delighted I am for John Mason, who is a thoroughly decent man, and how delighted I am for all those of us who worked to get him elected. The ramifications of this victory will be felt for a long time. The Cumbernauld and Kilsyth crew, Julie, myself and Stuart McDonald. Mark, Grant and Malcolm.

The Hepburn Herald: Post Office Closure Programme Hypocrisy
http://520votes.blogspot.com/2008/08/post-office-closure-programme-hypocrisy.html
Friday, 22 August 2008. Post Office Closure Programme Hypocrisy. Good on Edinburgh city council for voting to admonish the Labour government for their post offic closure programme. I am presently fighting a number of closures in the area I represent, and each and every time have come up against Labour politician strutting about saying that they are campaigning to do likewise. The hypocrisy of these individuals is galling. It seems that the UK government can find all the money it wants to maintain nuclear...

The ‘House Rules’ for visitors on the Official Website of the Beijing Olympics state:.

http://520votes.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 September 2008. Spent a bit of time yesterday in the late summer (or early autumn) sunshine helping the SNP campaign to elect David Turner as the new councillor for the Baillieston ward in Glasgow. The vacancy arose, of course, following the sensational victory of the former incumbent, John Mason, in the Glasgow East Westminster by-election. Posted by Jamie Hepburn. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Hepburn Herald: Forth Bridge Funding
http://520votes.blogspot.com/2009/01/forth-bridge-funding.html
Monday, 5 January 2009. Apologies to anyone who has been checking in to read my musings, but the mood to blog seemed to escape me over the last wee while. But isn't that exactly what the New Labour inspired PPP scheme has done? Over the next twenty or so years, the combined UK PPP debt is over £200billion. This was money that was committed to by previous administrations out of budgets yet to be allocated. Soon the Scottish Government's PPP liabilities will be £1billion per annum.
