Ha.

Honest Q why the fear to mention what you do? It might kiss on your chips if someone provides evidence to support the fact they don’t need that skill set as such you might dream of Canada and NZ but that is all it might ever be unless you retrain in specific skills they require (but then you need years of soccer Ian W to back up the “education”.

Good luck
Oh I also know a teacher who couldn’t get over

I thought Canada had flung the doors open? Want, and are achieving, 300k+ net immigration per year?

It’s actually only acquaintances of Welshy that are being refused entry. Make of that what you will

Sad state of affairs.

Bim Afolami is my MP.

He is as inspiring in the day job as he was on QT last night...

I saw someone mistakenly spell his name Bum Alofani , but maybe it was done on purpose .

To be fair, those parts of the anatomy would probably do a better job!

Good "This Week" yesterday evening. Portillo for one seemed to enjoy it greatly judging from the mirth he was displaying.

Best bit was George Galloway, who I try very hard to dislike politically but who keeps on saying things that I find myself agreeing with, commenting on the Marr interview with Farage.

Starting with ss aying that many interviewers do not know enough about the subject they are enquiring about, followed up with how he knew Marr when he was " A Trotskyist, selling Trotskyist newspapers to bemused railway men outside Kings Cross..........I'm not making that up" and then commenting on the "Hatchet Job" that utterly failed and in fact just made people furious.

Andrew Neil " It didnt work then".

As usual, an understatement.

Cheers,

Tony

Lots of 'leave' opinion in Elgin. Sorry Nichola.

North East Scotland has fish, oil and drugs, that's it. Fishermen selfishly hate the EU. Shock horror they find a few Brexiteers in Elgin.

Edit: spose they have farmers too

Not much fishing left around the Elgin area. There's probably more people employed by or support the RAF base. What was interesting for me was seeing the SNP getting a kicking in Morayshire which used to be very pro-SNP (Ewing era). Good stuff.

Isn't that where the famous 'Marbles' come from....?

Very enjoyable seeing Mr Swinney having his 2 wee marbles kicked out of Morayshire last night, also great that a full UK audience
of viewers will have seen the Scots lambast the SNP, yep, us Scots don't like them either.

[Thorodin]

Watching that mass (at least in that small audience) rejection of SNP and Swinney's humiliation, my initial impressions of SNP prominence were wrong. So too for Indyref.

TW.
Galloway came across as human for a change. Why the hat? And indoors as well? Lout.

[s2art]

Only a few more episodes. Its sad when the only decent politics program is about to die.

Also agreed. I usually cringe and change over when Galloway is on a programme, but this was TW, so I stuck around and to my annoyance was impressed by his coherence and analysis. It's the moments like that that help you realise why these people sustain long political lives

It is indeed. There's no going back on it though, various people have pleaded on Twitter when it's demise was announced. Rob Burley (Editor) says it's not getting a reprieve.
The BBC must have really pissed Andrew Neil off.

On Galloway, yes he was spot on. It seems most think that Marr let himself down badly on Sunday.

The choice of town, panel's make up and now the audience make up is coming under scrutiny for the last episode:

I'm no fan of the SNP but it did seem strange that they were only able to find 7 SNP members in the audience and now it turns out that there were Tory shills planted too.

Mr Slattery Oh my days. This is genuinely tragic.
Reminds me os someone on a late night train who starts rambling as he is pissed.
I'm really shaken at his appearance. I knew he was bad some friends saw him in a show last year and he was bad then but this is just so sad.

I felt sad. He was an impro genius, watched WLIIA religiously, and I still use one of his lines today...'all I could do was stand by and bake a cake.' He and Mike SHane were a great couple.

OT, but this is an excellent interview with him. Very sad.
