Well dobne to Alex salmond and the SNP Scottish government for doing its most good to try and save Scotland's independent financial sector in Edinburgh.

I do think Scotland has laughing-boy Brown-the-Clown, and Alice-der-Dorkling on the ropes now. I se no way New Labour can rail against 'maj's high-court system; even she has no power there.

I think we've saved Scotland's financial banking independence! Great News.

This situation shows what nasty evil people New Labour are; these sons of d'evil broke the laws of the nation and tried to manipulate their own agenda; nasty nasty people New Labour.

I've read all the guff-bluff from the onionists, but they fall far short when it comes to substance; in-deed, most, if not all, of their posts are usually guff-bluffing, and of-course New Labour's magic washing powder 'DEFLECT, DECEIVE, DENY' and their spin cycle snake-oil salesman turd Mandelson.

Daniels, Hornby, Stevenson, Brown-the-Clown, Alice-der-Dorkling, and of-course snake-oil salesman turd Mandelson, stick this is yer pipe and suck it right down yer throat; it tastes like shoite, dosn't it!

We won't forget you lot either; there's no hiding place left for yoo-lot.

Ye'd better keep well away from Scotland!
