to start yet another Indyref thread?

[FannyFifer]

Round 3 folks.

We should arrange an Indyref meet up at this stage.

He looks about 12!

Stat I think Tango Tommy might be more your style.

Although, from reports of his social life if you choose Tommy you also choose Gail.

I am probably old enough to be his mum too

Good god no!

In all seriousness, judging by his profile (I don't know him obviously) Humza is part of what I see wrong in politics - straight from a politics degree to a job in parliament, to a seat in parliament. That's not an attack on him personally, he may be great. But I want politicians who have, I dunno, life experience? People who have worked outside of politics for a start!

No not Tommy! Although I did read some funny comments online over whether his involvement would help swing the result.

I'm not big on Hamza, have to say. Hutchie boy, wasn't he?

Jim Murphy needs to eat some meat.
Oh, that is not a euphemism btw

I wouldn't mind George Osbourne

I'd still go for Cameron over Osbourne!

Arf at hangman.

Humza is very pretty, but I agree re straight into politics issue.

When I am president of Scotland I shall decree that to be eligible to stand for election you must have worked a minimum of 5 years in a job not related to politics.

I would have Clegg over Osborne, Gideon gives me the boak!

Any takers for Danny Alexander?

I always thinks he looks like a sulky school prefect.

Wild Not Gideon! He probably has very special tastes. Jim Murphy is a bit lanky and skinny isn't he?

Oh no not Danny.

For a Yes win I reckon I'd have a night in with any of them. Even the one with the eyebrows.

Fanny you and I agree on very little, but on Clegg vs Osbourne we may have found some common ground . I would have to be v v drunk though.

"None of the above."
After Dr Who and the Swedish drama on the BBC tonight I feel a bit tearful about the thought of the BBC not being "my" BBC if we vote yes.
I don't want endless fecking gaelic on Alba and ultraparochial news.
We may be able to still watch the BBC if we're independent but I won't be able to feel proud of it any more.

I reckon Danny would look alright under his clothes.

I draw the line at Gordon Brown though, no prize would be worth that, he never looks very clean.

Have you seen Dateline Scotland 2rebecca? The tickers make me PMSL especially "Linlithgow man loses keys". Made me think of parochial 80s Reporting Scotland. Not as bad as the stream of consciousness that is the letters page of the Sunday post (my parents bought it, I used to read it in the hope it would help the tedium of Sunday afternoons, it didn't).

I love BBC4, I'd pay for that. BBC Alba, no. Just no.

Danny would most emphatically not look alright under his clothes. He would be like semolina in human form!

Only point of the Sunday Post was The Broons & Oor Wullie.

and Francis Gay. I liked the twee stories.

BBC has never felt like my BBC.
I don't pay for it either.

When I am president of Scotland I shall decree that to be eligible to stand for election you must have worked a minimum of 5 years in a job not related to politics.

I'd vote for that! I'm not far off his age, and I dare say have a shitload more work experience (been working since I was 15 for a start!) and I don't feel like it would be enough to take on being an MP/MSP and do a really good job. And actually the more experience I get the more it feels like it isn't enough if that makes any sense.

Clegg over Gideon definitely - although he does look like a bit of a wimp. I suspect he'd be frightfully vanilla

The Sunday Post was truly bizarre. In my shop days (when I was a student and not an evil financial services bod) we used to have to carefully count and package newspaper returns. Not so with the Sunday Post - we were told just to chuck those.
