And due to excellent pr campaign promoting The Gord's alleged performance on the economy it won't be the disaster it ought to be.

Especially poignant given that Alex Salmond (leader of the SNP, Labour's main challengers in that seat) made such a thing about the Celtic band of prosperity that turned into a bit of a dud after the Irish and Icelandic (celtic ?) economies imploded.

The Irish economy still looks as if it's going to do better than the British one, so Salmond should still be ahead.

Icelanders have a Viking heritage.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

And a goodly Irish, circa 900 CE, influence as well.

It has been suggested the development of the strong Icelandic literary tradition came from those Norse who immigrated to Iceland from Ireland.
