I'm Brian Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's actually going to be glorious seeing all of the seethe from the folks in the stockbroker belt when the realise that a great big oil well is going to be struck in their back gardens. Most striking thing about this story is how pretty much overnight oil has went from being a curse to being the best thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of that Michael Portillo anecdote (think it was him at least). He walked up a driveway and as he knocked on the door he realised the drive had just been laid and he'd left huge footprints going right up it. The door opened and he said 'hello, I'm your local Labour candidate.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Have the libdems given up on their wish for PR since the country overwhelmingly (67.9%) had expressed a wish not to have it? Except that "the country" never held a referendum on PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strichener Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Except that "the country" never held a referendum on PR The fact that the libdems sold out on their underlying principles and accepted AV as an alternative is neither here nor there. They wanted PR, accepted AV and lost. Are they still advocating PR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Horrible accident, yes, but Newsworthy in a national newspaper? I am genuinely surprised this wasn't on the front page, accompanied by a five-year-old shot of Sturgeon standing with her hand on an open gate, smiling.
