The man smiling is Alex.
” F… dont believe he is actually signing this, dont laugh got to get this smile off my face
Dave: “I never liked that John McTernan”
From Kate Higgins:
“Indy exam Part 1: If a nation has 5 m people & a multi-billlion pound oil/gas reserve, it is a) very rich or b) very rich?”
Dave gets to meet the big boys at last!
Numpties Two – Democracy Nil.
“I, David Cameron the undersigned, am a stupid posh cu… Hey, are you sure I should be signing this?”
“If I sign it with my left hand, I can claim it’s a forgery later…”
The end o ane auld sang, Dave…You hum it and I’ll play it, Alec
… we do get to keep the grouse shooting and the fishing though… don’t we?
I will only provide a urine sample when asked
Fuhrer Cameron signs formal declaration of surrender ! Why cant he now emulate his namesake and head off to his bunker with a pill.
Just playing battleships…? Or hangman?!
So Dave is corrie-fistit! What’s left noo?!
Dave: What you thinking ’bout, Alex?
Alex: Oh you know, Social Union stuff I guess [blushes].
I mustn’t laugh till he is back in his car.
The Party of the first part…
Not sure what I think. Over at Better Nation they think it’s a great credit to both parties, here you think it’s pish. I’m more Private Eye: Dave “you think you’ve won one over on me, how stupid is that. Fuck this pen doesn’t work?”
Alex – ignore the spin in the media, and just look at their faces. Who’s smiling? That tells you all you need to know about who has “won” here.
(Although actually, it’s US who’ve won – we now get to debate what sort of country we want Scotland to be and then vote on it.)
On a serious note Alex Salmond is smiling because he has stood firm on his principle and the UK Government has had to acknowledge those for the first time in history (and the UK Government hopes the only time) the only problem is he hasn’t been very effective in 1) communicating that 2) as a consequence of 1) he hasn’t really taken the Scottish people along with him.
What do I think these principles are? That Scotland is a nation like any other, hence his insistence that it had to be Cameron not Moore that he dealt with. This principle in my mind is also what has guided him on the referendum and on the issue of devo max. He believes it’s right that the Scottish people should be the ones who decide whether or not they stay inside the union and on what terms. The main importance of this I think is that it is a body blow to the Scottish cringe, and it is that cringe that Scottish unionists rely on most and work hardest on maintaining in order to keep Scotland docile. There’s absolutely no guarantee that the referendum will be won but it’s important to stick to principles, but the SNP Government needs to take the country along with them not just the SNP membership.
Tom Potter wins – pure class.
Love the strategically placed electoral map of Scotland in the background.
Alex: “”That’ll do Donkey, That’ll do”"
“What does ‘I am a bawbag’ mean?”
Dave: Have you got 1 across? Leader called Cameron, six letters, starts with ‘wa’ ends with ‘er’?
Alex (after a pause): ‘Walter’
David never thought the words ‘Sam Cam’ could have such a bitter ring.
”I can’t believe it…he’s just farted.”
For the first time, according to the map behind him, David realised what a landslide majority looked like.
The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand’s doing!
” Here’s one of us side by side …. and I’m thinking ‘is he thinking what I’m thinking’ …. that sovereign independence and confederal union is the win-win of best together? “
One of my uncles did this in Singapore ’42 – how about you, Alex?
DC: “What is this Decree Nisi anyway?”
We are signing so that this is the last two middle/upper class white males do this x
