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.

Richard. Could you email me at perryman@mac1.net
I'm currently editing a collection of essays, 'Breaking up Britain: Four Nations after a Union' and would like to chat to you about contributing having enjoyed your blog immensely!
Totally ridiculous. I don't expect they have any members in two of those areas for a start!!!
Frequently they're not 'Winning here!' either, but that doesn't seem to stop the placards from coming out anyway :-)
Did you read your party's response to his election? It was outrageous.
You NEED him. LIT is dead without him.
Not that it was alive to begin with - I think the final nail in the coffin was just struck.
Yes, I did, Ricky, and no, it wasn't.
