If Trump becomes President, we'd probably be better off slinging our lot in with Putin.

Or becoming a protectorate of the Peoples Republic of China.

Nah, Trump would still protect England. Not too sure about Scotland though

Tell me this wonderful recovery are they aware the service sector which in most part is banking?

Shame the rest of the sectors are stagnate or very low progress, never mind.

He will have to act or the opposition in his own ranks may see this a opportunity for a Spring challenge to his leadership. That is too say if they got the guts to go ahead or continual to moan and groan from the side lines.

It's the loony left I'm more concerned about than Corbyn.

He has created a monster that will soon be out of control, particularly when the selection process begins in advance of the next general election.

Received my xmas card from the local constituency party this morning....they still haven't updated their membership records.

His mother was a Scottish immigrant from the Isle of Lewis but more importantly (at this moment in time)...

Following his comments earlier this week, Ms Sturgeon stripped him of his ambassador role in Scotland.

On Thursday she went a step further and urged Home Secretary Theresa May to "consider" singing anti-extremism laws to block him from entering the UK.

Did any TAX payer's money pay for this space trip?

If so its a bloody disgrace wasting money that is needed on far more important areas.
