Oh dear Jezza, they are even voting Tory in Glasgee!

After 7 years of Tory-led government the Opposition should be sucking up Tory seats like a Dyson, not losing their own hand over fist. This does not look good for Jezza & Co. come the 8th June.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the spin from Labour and Money!

Bloody predictive texting! For Money read Mikey.

[mikey4444]

Yes, but still no sign of voting Tory very much either !

[naomi24]

Mikey, does that really mean anything at all? I might be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, unlike Labour, the Tories who have now made gains never were popular in Scotland - and look what's happened to Labour.

[Jackdaw33]

Naomi, you may not be aware because you are obviously too young, but back in 1955 50% of Scottish MPs elected were Tories.

[naomi24]

Jackdaw, thank you. I stand corrected. Sixty years ago the Tories enjoyed some popularity in Scotland - but how long is it since Labour enjoyed similar popularity?

But that was when they were conservatives and human beings.

[naomi24]

Douglas, you always make me laugh. :o)

[douglas9401]

Good. :)

[naomi24]

:o)

[Jackdaw33]

Can anyone remember Nicholas Fairbairn, the Tory MP who succeeded Douglas-Home? What a clown he was, all kilt and no kecks.

[douglas9401]

Glesca, Tora, Glesca.

[goodgoalie]

That's SIR Nicholas Fairbairn to you, Jack! Not just 'all kilt' but he used to go 'full plaid', too. Fond of contentious statements and a dram, he died of cirrhosis of the liver

[Jackdaw33]

A dram? More a distillery!
