Enigma Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 To clarify, is Henry McLeish now a yes voter or is he a no voter that is critical of the official campaign? I think the latter. He's the anti-Ad Lib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 "But if they don't do this the North of England is going to be at a serious disadvantage to the rest of Scotland." Dafuq? The UK love their captialism, which is why in a competitive market like this, the message doesn't sound hypocritical at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 "But if they don't do this the North of England is going to be at a serious disadvantage to the rest of Scotland." Dafuq? Did they ever notice that the UK happens to have a large vacuum down on the South East coast going by the name of London? We're all disadvantaged compared to there anyway!

Blaven Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Abolishing air passenger duty could bring millions into the Scottish economy practically overnight. Now why would we want to do that? If this is true, does this mean that Newcastle airport has been exploiting the people of Scotland and those who wish to visit Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If as many people would be driving up from The North-East as they claim then it probably mean finally making the road from Berwick to Newcastle into a dual carriageway at last.

Why is a Scottish Government civil servant emailing newspapers about the referendum campaign? ^^^ monkey in a red rosette. If you'd read the Wings article, it initially stated she was the daughter in law of Pat Lally, but then retracted that, adding that she is a member of Labour's National Policy Forum for 2015. To try and pass her off as just a mum is misleading and incorrect. Swing and a miss for you again, Bants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
