As British Labour is dragged along on the Tories' coattails, so BLiS is dragged along by their British Nationalist bosses.
Beware of Brits bearing ‘alternatives’!

Do the purge!
Essentially, it's just yet another rehash of the now far too familiar refrain about BLiS needing to 'Learn and Change!'. How many times have we heard that one?
Trust not the Brit! For he is as a snake in the grass!
BLiS will jump on any bandwagon that looks like it might take them back to the good old days of uncomplicated two-party politics and BLiS hegemony in Scotland. And that is what they are doing now.
A poll worth heeding
Scotland cannot affect the outcome of this UK general election. The most Scottish voters might hope to do is slightly reduce the Tory majority.

When an anonymous "insider" speaks of "an opportunity to prove that Scottish Labour is not a branch office" what they actually mean is a chance to perpetuate the ancient deceit that 'Scottish' Labour is something more than a branch office. Of all the con tricks played on the people of Scotland by the British establishment this … Continue reading The big wolf in little wolf’s clothing
Yawn!
I don't care. I've thought about it. I've tried very hard to think why I should care about the internal squabbling of the British parties in Scotland. But I can't think of a single good reason.
