David Taylor – Back on your familiar old ground eh? You were wrong in your last article on this splendid blog and you’re wrong again here.

Have you ever considered removing your rose coloured glasses about that last useless election losing Labour leader?

Disrespectful to Gordon Brown? Are you serious – how respectful to the country was it when he was forced on us without even facing a party leadership election – especially after people like me voted for “Full Third Term” Blair.

Why should the taxpayer pay for that incompetent buffoon to swan around in Scotland instead of doing his job? There can’t be many people in the country who aren’t glad to see the back of him but come on.

Why don’t you actually start writing articles that are factually based and not on speculative opinion from something you read in The Guardian.

This is supposed to be an evidenced based blog David. Why not give that a try?

The headlines may say the aid budget is ringfenced, but if the 2005 Gleneagles agreement has been dropped that is a bit digraceful.
