To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Saturday, 25 October 2014. JoLa - A Farewell Tribute. I don't reckon Dolly Parton takes all that much interest in Scottish politics, but if she did her reaction to Johann Lamont's departure as manager of Labour's Scottish branch office might go something like this. Those of a musical bent who know the tune are welcome to sing it heartily. JoLa, JoLa, JoLa, JoLa. I’m begging of you, please don’t step aside. As Tories gathered...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Friday, 27 June 2014. Could It Be Magic? Monday/ Tuesday. 85 days of campaigning to go…. It was generally agreed that the independence debate was lacking a bit of magic, so The Herald. And its fellow rags duly arranged for two practitioners of the mystic arts to materialise in a puff of headlines. Sketches might have observed, “Izziaffiz bliddichump? Could this be a game-changer, we wondered? Would it benefit Alistair Carmic...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Friday, 26 June 2015. Talking To The Enemy. Who’d have imagined such a day would come? Stomach-churning angst amongst Yes supporters and celebratory congas throughout Bastardville. Nicola Sturgeon’s fallen from grace with an almighty splat, and nothing will ever be the same again. She’s… she’s… (adjusts straitjacket)… written a piece for the Daily Mail! Gee, thanks, Nicola! I don’t know if there’s a section of th...If I were...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Friday, 29 May 2015. Archive Hour: The Talented Mr Blatter. I've just come across this piece I wrote in May 2011, on a long-defunct blog, back when I were a whippersnapper. Goes to show that scandal and corruption are all part of a giant merry-go-round, d oesn't it. I was probably quite hard on the SFA, but they were different times. 8220;Everything I know about morality and the obligations of men, I owe to football.". And i...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Thursday, 30 April 2015. Continuing the transcripts of my contributions to Michael Greenwell’s The Polling Station podcast over the last few days. You can listen to it each day here. 8211; it's always well worth it. Even my bit. Watching the Andrew Marr Show. 8220;The Scottish Nationalist Party”, trumpeted the blond bombshell, in that schoolboy prankster fashion that’s made him the idol of the Conservatosser Party. BorisR...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Saturday, 26 April 2014. Confederation Of Blithering Idiots. 8220;Imagine our surprise when some of them resigned because they wanted to stay neutral! I mean, how can you stay neutral when, each time someone is persuaded to vote Yes, a kitten dies? And who’d have thought that Scotland had so many universities? 8220;Mistakes have been made, but the good news is that I am not responsible for any of them. For the benefit of...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Thursday, 20 November 2014. Au Revoir, Mr Salmond. Alas, man-flu sufferers in the City of Perth! The reverberations of this momentous event spread far and wide. Deep in the bowels of New Broadcasting House a chill wind rattled the bars of Kirsty Wark’s cage and garlanded Nick Robinson’s peely-wally heart with icicles. In a fashionably postcoded Edinburgh attic Alan Cochrane, the Telegraph’s. To those of us who woke on 19 Sep...

To September And Beyond. What's so funny about wanting to build a better nation? Monday, 29 September 2014. Call off the search party, I’m still here. It’s just taken me a bit longer to return to blogging than I expected. And I won’t condemn anybody else who in good faith voted No, although I hope Hell has a special barbecue setting for the duplicitous weasels who lied to them on their TVs and doorsteps. When those voters’ expectations unravel like a moth-eaten semmit, I’ll rely on ...I preferred the day...
