I have little interest, though I, too was forever raging about them canonising Thatcher and adopting her creed. It is my great hope that The Scottish Government are now going to go from strength to strength, and hopefully with great courage, vision and a certainty that we, as a nation, can forge our own glorious future!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-46612616743411973262008-05-02T23:52:00.000+01:002008-05-02T23:52:00.000+01:00PS - I learn this evening that, in the Bulgarian &...PS - I learn this evening that, in the Bulgarian & Greek Orthodox traditions, this is St Boris's day!<BR/>Ironic, ye ken (or Ken).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-81750485541308977182008-05-02T23:51:00.000+01:002008-05-02T23:51:00.000+01:00There, O Sage, you have me.
