What's Salmond going to do? Use harsh language? Call them Sassenach bastards? The rUK government will shrugs its sho...

Faisal Islam tried to ask Salmond about the currency issue on Sky News earlier, only to be told to move on, by Salmond, no change there then. I love that "move on" line. Cameron used it when Ashcroft was revealed still to be a tax exile. Blair did it a lot too The whole currency thing - i...

Morning All. Just managed to register after a few problems - thanks to Dan for fixing them. Took the opportunity to change username to one I've been using elsewhere.
