    In fact this whole ISIS thing is doing my head in.

    To think we invaded Iraq, for no reason.

    But can't sort these scumbags out.

    Blair and the Tories who enthusiastically cheered him on, you have a lot to answer for.

    Trolling worse than ever - did no Labour MPs support Blair? Was Blair not Labour? Did Miliband never support Blair? Utterly pathetic.

    The Speccie reads the runes on the streets of Edinburgh:

    Only in Scotland do you realise how well Cameron’s indifference to the campaign has played out. The SNP had hoped all along for a clumsy intervention from No. 10 that would restore Salmond’s position as a glamorous outlaw opposed to London’s evil schemers. By keeping quiet, Cameron has turned Salmond into the very thing he once opposed. The First Minister represents authority. He is now a vested interest. He has become the self-serving power base that seeks nothing but its own survival.
