Re: The West Lothian Question. Breakup of UK ? (none / 1)

PR for the House of Commons should have been the core of the constitutional changes introduced since 1997. The fact that Labour preferred self interest to principle is the greatest missed opportunity since the Liberals made the same mistake in 1918.

Don't know a damned thing about this issue but what I've observed.

I believe in free internet commerce, and getting the best price I can for what I buy.

Was buying pipes from a tobacconist in Edinburgh, Scotland. Scotch pass a law 1/06 banning smoking in public places. Guy more or less shut down.

Googled a bit. Found a great 4th generation tobacconist in Yorkshire. Get what I want at an even better price.

Think it's a bit about keeping officious fools out of our lives, our bedrooms, our lifestyle choices, and our EMails, among other things.

I live in Virginia, USA, by the way.

Keep to the Great North Road, Helen.

We're Scots not Scotch ( Scotch is a drink ).

Get it right.
