The decision of the voters in Glasgow North East will have long lasting implications for the cause of Scottish independence. Glasgow can do better than Labour's Baron Springburn and the SNP deserve their chance to represent the constituency at the UK parliament. Scotland's party puts Scotland first and a vision of a free and independent country is a lot bettter than sticking with failed bankrupt

Photo by tallpomlin The rumours that we'd been hearing in the rail industry over the last fortnight broke in the national press yesterday, that East Coast, the new name for the National Express franchise, will withdraw their Glasgow to London route from next December . There has been, however, a bit of disinformation about it in the Scottish blogosphere. I even read one blogger who claimed that Glasgow...

Opus Dei though the SNP candidate may be (heaven knows how that happened, the SNP is ferociously anti-Catholic and the compliment is returned with interest), the message is clear: the Glasgow North-East by-election impends, but the death of Al-Megrahi does not. Oh, and no one in favour of Scottish independence, never mind anyone who isn't, now has the slightest reason to vote for the SNP, which has...

Nidal Malik Hassan - Hero You knew this was coming Elias Harfoush better watch his ass. He's a rare bird, indeed. A moslem who condemns terrorism? Like I said... he better watch his ass. Anyhow, here's some of his article from the newspaper Dar al Hayat (London & Beirut); It is not unlikely for us to hear today, in the streets of our Arab and Muslim cities, those who would praise the “heroism”...

No, not the Presiding Officer. One of the greatest managers Scotland and Britain has ever seen (in my mind second only to Jock Stein) has endorsed Willie Bain in the Glasgow North East by election saying in a newsletter going out this weekend: "I’m backing Willie Bain and I urge people to vote Labour in this by-election. I’ve supported Labour all my life and think the country is a...

Zeddy reports: I am reminded of the tale of the young man up in front of the Sheriff (magistrate, to you lot) for theft. Having stolen cans of cola and packets of crisps from a local shop, the Sheriff asks him what he has to say for himself. The accused replies, "Ah did it, ah stole cris and ginger," to which the sheriff replies, "And who are these people, Chris and Ginger?" If...

We contend that it is entirely feasible and indeed desirable to provide training for research degree students in art and design based on the premise that firstly research is a viable mode of art and design practice as it is for the practices of the engineer or the doctor and that secondly to move from practice to research depends on the potential for conceiving the artefact as divisible into an ordered...

Should you wish to travel from Cornwall, Devon or Somerset to Scotland the route is up the west coast to Glasgow. Now the Westminster government and...

Parliamentary by-elections tend to result in a few stunts, but none so embarrassing as the purile stunt by SNP candidate, the rather arrogant David Kerr, in flinging a £2 coin towards the Labour candidate on Thursday night’s “Politics Now” on STV. I was away Thursday evening so only saw the programme this afternoon. Whilst the other main party candidates acquitted themselves...
