The Welsh Windbag. Those were the days. He had just taken over from Michael Foot - who was ten times the man he is - and immediately - on the same bloody day! - made a complete arse of himself. Made leader in the morning and doomed by teatime. Idiot.
He has since, of course, distinguished himself by making his family the most successful parasitical enterprise the nation has known. He needs hanging before the good Lord steals him away and we lose the chance.
Didn't the family do rather well out of Europe, mr mongoose?
Its small recompence, but seeing Kinnoccio in the sea is one of life's little treasures. I hope wee Kranky didn't hurt herself, at least no too much?
We did hope it would be nothing trivial, mr mike. Having demonstrated that she can't stand on her two feet, we had hoped that she would follow Kinnock into oblivion. However, in response to the nation's cry of How long, oh Lord, how long? - she firmly told the BBC that she is not resigning, and plans to be Scotland's First Minister until April 2026. Anything else, she snapped, was just Wishful Thinking. Indeed.
Mrs I: its all gone quiet on the Salmond front. I was expecting to be enjoying stories of his revenge by now?
He's trying hard, mr mike. He is currently making political capital out of Gnasher's opposition to the Cambo oil field, comparing her to Mrs Thatcher and her abandonment of coal mining communities. He says Cambo hostility will cost the SNP tens of thousands of votes. Gnasher has had to concede Cambo to keep her Green alliance on side. She was reluctant to do it because she knows it will cost jobs and increase reliance on fossil fuel imports - and she is bigging up an anti-Putin rhetoric (interfering in scottish independence)so she really doesn't want to rely on Russian fossil fuels. Wee Fat Aleck, au contraire, is hosting a political chat programme on RT and continues to lead the Alba party, which is getting scant press coverage. The SNP, meanwhile, continues to have an opinion included in every BBC news show.
It's almost biblical, mrs i. Yea, even unto the third generation shall ye steal and connive and just be plain bloody horrible. The hypocrisy of it is staggering.
The world continues to turn, most days anyway, regardless of what the SNP says. That pooch is surely screwed but the resolution of Scotland can only take place under a Labour government and I am not at all sure that we'll be having one of those anytime soon. The next big opportunity for a political realignment will be the explosion of the Green bollocks. This will happen the day that Josephine Public works out that it means that her domestic energy bill gets multiplied by five if everything is electric. "Oh, but green energy will be cheaper", says Bojo. Oh, aye, of course it will.
The myth of the cheap green energy. Plans to turn the old Flotta Oil Terminal in Orkney into one of the world's first large-scale green hydrogen plants have been unveiled. They say it will power 2 million homes. No it won't. It will make very large profits for global energy producers. Orkney already produces more electricity than is needed within Orkney, even if we left our lights on all the time and drove around in electric dodgem cars. Is it used within Orkney? Is it buggery. It is sent down an undersea cable of limited capacity to join the National Grid, from which it is sold back to the people of Orkney at the usual inflated prices. If there is too much energy produced for the cable to handle, then the windmills are stopped. This in a county where there is a large percentage of households in fuel poverty, because it is cold here, the housing stock is old and crap so heat leaks out into the street, and Orkney has what is politely termed "a low-wage economy."
