    Natalie McGarry, SNP fraud is caged for a cool 18 months.

    A nationalist on the make and on the take to the tune of thousands of embezzled pounds.

    D-Day remembrance events showed that when he wants too, can act in an appropriate and dignified manner. Never get sucked in by public image.

    One can only speculate how deep the rot sets in the Scottish Nationalist movement.

    Hefty prison sentences for thievery. Criminal allegations of abusive fiddling. Anti libel cases laughed out of court.

    One can only wonder what might come next from this viper's nest of tartan scorpions.

    I think it's no accident at all that UKIP MEPs likewise were the ones most likely to be jailed for expenses fraud. The kind of no-marks who become nationalist MPs have no thoughtful or knowledgeable view of the world; they just think everything is the fault of some other race. It's not surprising that their frauds are then too stupidly mounted to evade detection. Stupid and entitled runs through them like 'Brighton' through a stick of rock.

    Oh helloooooo...
    NICOLA Sturgeon will meet Jean-Claude Juncker and Michel Barnier in Brussels next week as she steps up her fight to keep Scotland in the European Union....
    “The First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will be in Brussels for a series of official meetings and speaking engagements on Tuesday. The First Minister’s meetings with President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier will be an opportunity to set out the Scottish Government’s position on future relations with the European Union.” Looking ahead to the meeting with Barnier, the chief negotiator’s spokesman said: “I can confirm the meeting on Tuesday. The First Minister is also meeting with President Juncker.

    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    Scotland is not a member of the eu.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Well.. not yet anyway. I expect that's something Nicola would quite like to discuss in her meetings with Junker and Barnier tomorrow though.
