Thank-you everyone. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous<BR/>"Can I presume you now see that there is usually justice in that accusation?"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I can see why people make the accusation, however what saddened me about my time in the SSP was that there were a number of perfectly reasonable, intelligent people in the party whose voices were drowned out by the 'Broadmoor' wing. <BR/><BR/>"To be honest I have never understood how anybody with a working brain could possibly be taken in by clowns like the SSP, I mean isn't their stupidity so obvious?"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Well it is now. I was drawn to them because I felt that some though by no means all of the policies they were putting forward were reasonable and likely to benefit people were they to be implemented. With hindsight I should have done a bit more research, however I have no regrets. Some lessons are best learned the hard way.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Calm down West Coaster! They're only flags for heaven sake. I don't see the harm in them.Clairwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503239355248016287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1138571261744924052006-01-29T21:47:00.000+00:002006-01-29T21:47:00.000+00:00Sorry, thought you were having a pop at lefties in...Sorry, thought you were having a pop at lefties in general rather than the SSP goon squad.........We're a sensitive bunch you know.iLL Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107892879700381858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1138566499742306182006-01-29T20:28:00.000+00:002006-01-29T20:28:00.000+00:00Flags!

I remember watching Sheridan on BBC's Newsnight program being interviewd by Gordon Brewer where Armani man was saying - after it was announced Mottarolla were closing their factory - that the mobile phone industry in Scotland should be nationalized. The ease with which Brewer made a fool of Sheridan was staggering; he just looked a total tit.<BR/><BR/>The SSP is for political adolescents of any age, if you don’t like the adult world then their brand of infantile politics is for you. Myself, I prefer to stick with the grown ups regardless of how badly they are currently faring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1138440137181436762006-01-28T09:22:00.000+00:002006-01-28T09:22:00.000+00:00"[A]nd finally [I was] told that I was 'right-wing..."[A]nd finally [I was] told that I was 'right-wing' and 'anti- feminist'".<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, you get used to it after a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-1138438590057575592006-01-28T08:56:00.000+00:002006-01-28T08:56:00.000+00:00At least she can spell.
