A botched devolution designed principally by Hampstead lawyers as with much of the offensively titled “ Charter 88”- No the Czechs lived under a tyranny. And we all laughed at Tam? Shoddy legislation that has come back to haunt and birthed single handily the modern SNP as a party of government, not an oddity with a well dodgy wartime record.
By all means have as Scottish assembly BUT make v F clear from the start what’s it meant to do e.g solve a epic drug crisis, feed bairns and attracts investment- Scotland has gone actually backwards ever since. Now playing at For policy as a distraction - we all know why? Free tuition we in paved with gold Newham get to pay for- we all drive limos obviously ( 4th poorest borough in UK).
Yes quite, although Sweeney and Starmer probably deserve each other.

In any case, I am commenting to say I agree very much with your latest article in the Spectator (on Ian Huntley's demise). I find it appalling that it seems to be a national sport to attack (even physically) some people who, even if their acts are beyond belief, still have the right not to be attacked at the first available opportunity. This is indeed a failure of the prison system, and not the first one either.
Had he identified as a woman, then s/he would have been granted all sorts of privileges. A broken system indeed!
Oh my! As an American, the British never fail to disappoint. As my family originates in southwest England, I always regarded Albion with a certain fondness. But, seriously though you all make it difficult. Separate as to the merits of this current action, I would have thought America might have garnered some grace in the last 100+ years. But as evidenced Oh well, as the saying goes ….it is what it is. Recently, with in my extended American circle a new conversation has become quite popular. One that I heretofore have resisted. The narrative goes something like……as we have exacted a heavy price from a well defended country on the other side of the world with the help of but one staunch ally OVER the resistance of Spain and Great Britain…….why should we even care about either. Obviously we don’t need them. Why should we risk life and treasure to protect them? For that matter why should we do for Europe as a whole? A group of nations who obviously don’t appreciate or like us at all. We don’t need them to protect us, feed us or in any way support us. It is in our interests to let you all look after your selves.
As an Anglophile, that would be a disappointment, but I understand the sentiment.
Well beyond their brief.
No, that's Westminster's job...sorry but F policy is NOT theirs.
Excellent as ever Stephen.
