Better late than never... Gordon Brown has finally congratulated Alex Salmond.
He was impervious to criticism and accusations of sour grapes, refusing to congratulate Salmond as recently as Wednesday. But see as soon as people started laughing at him...
Ridicule - the most powerful weapon in politics :-)
About Me
- Richard Thomson
- After a few years working in the financial sector, I jumped the fence and now work as a political researcher. After a spell as Head of Campaigns at SNP HQ, I worked in the Scottish Parliament as a researcher. I then spent a year in Westminster before returning to Scotland. I now live and work in Aberdeenshire. When not working, I play the fiddle (when it suits) in various ceilidh bands, and write for the 'Scots Independent' Newspaper and website.

Nice to see you in the blogosphere Richard!
Hmm... an anonymous blog with references to real ale, Aberystwyth, busking, Leicester City, Strathclyde Uni and with the odd political reference thrown in... that can only be one person!
