Towards A Softer Scotland

Connoisseurs of that ultimate government absurdity, the ten-year plan, have been kept royally entertained by Gordie and his lads recently. Now the Scots (i.e. the ones still in Scotland) have joined in, with this gem. I look forward to reading in ten years' time of wee Kenny MacAskill, looking very relaxed in powder-blue cashmere, raising a glass of mineral water to toast the final extinction of the Scottish hard man... As they say in his country - Kenny, awa and boil yer heed.

  1. Yes, yes, but what kind of mineral water? 420 Volanic?

  5. At the risk of injecting a serious note :), this is exactly what's screwing up the country. The scourge of the ten year plan (or any plan that has a running time of more than a year). By the time we get to that mythical place sometime in the future, everyone's forgotten what the bloody hell it was all about.

    Between this bollocks and the Health and Safety Taliban we're done for.
