He went to a grammar school, which is obviously of massive interest.

Presumably via the 11+? Yet he went on to very poor A levels and then flunked out at Neasden Poly. What further evidence do we need that the 11+ is not a good selection method.

Utterly bizarre — 51% of Labour voters at the election preferred the Britain of 1985 to today, the height of Thatcherism.

UK no. 1 thirty years ago this week!

Imagine the kerfuffle when it is released. The Leader of the Opposition.

Never mind that, imagine the posters and PEBs should he remain until 2020! It will make "New Labour, New Danger" look like a love letter.

Those didn't actually work though, admittedly, though granted the circumstances made it a tough ask. Very memorable though.

One with quite a rich history.

I wonder if Jezzer was a member of the CCF, or enjoyed Rugby tours of South Africa.

The economy in the North East of Scotland is booming indeed.

Well, for one guy...

@HTScotPol: NEW: Alex Salmond earning more than £2000 a week for his newspaper columns

Peanuts, Boris gets over £5,000 a week for his Telegraph column, which he claims to spend about 2 hours writing.

Boris reportedly gives half of his fee to charity.

Oil has fallen below $45 a barrel and seems likely to stay low for some time.

How is this affecting North Sea production?

Apparently its cost a fair number of jobs but it was hard to tell from the BBC spending their News programming on hagiographies of a sour faced old benefits scrounger.

Sky business news stated today that 65,000 North Sea jobs have been lost. Is this true as we do not hear it on this forum which is surprising if it is true and worrying, as a lot of my Scottish relatives in the North East of Scotland depend on oil jobs both in the North Sea and Worldwide

If that is the case the rest of the Scottish economy must be going gangbusters.

It is, you just don;t realise it.

I don't pretend to know much about the Scottish economy, but I know there is a huge public sector. If you take away the oil business, what is there left to be going gangbusters?

The power of nostalgia ... or is it the power of Lethe?
