A propos of not much other than idle anecdote, while listening to the parliamentary bit on the radio over breakfast thia morning (R4), my not particularly political missus ( a bit residual studenty anti-tory but not generally that iinterested) spontaneously offered the following
"Ed Balls. What a tit."
Interested me.
Tits are useful, the same cannot be said of Ed Balls.
Well... other than for reminding me why a Labour government worries me.
"you’d think Labour would be fighting tooth and nail to retain Scotland. It isn't. Gordon Brown made his first major intervention this month.Ed Miliband only bothered to go north, to face the issue, a few days ago, and hastily hurried home 15 minutes later.
Why are they so complacent about something which might destroy their party? My guess is: Denial. "
Have to say Sean is on form there, he is far more reasonable in his paid work than his leisure.

An interesting blog posting, and a better class of BTL comments, with some good jokes, than that which one usually finds at the DT [edit: on its indy news stories]. I would have liked to see Sean's views on whether London Labour GHQ are even interested in Scotland at all or see it as a rival power centre - or for that matter feel that they are going to lose anyway to the SNP even after a No, and not just a Yes - but the piece would be too long ...
