Soooo, in a rather straightforward interview in 'The Politics Show' (North Britain version), wherein MSP Mike Russell Minister for Culture, External Affair and the Constitution (CEAC) posited the suggestion that Holyrood might actually do the nation a service and remind the people that politicians are free thinking individuals, not entirely tied to slavish devotion of their pary and have a free vote to determine whether or not Scotland should hold an Independence referendum.
This brought witless cant from the desperate Unionistas.
Cue Steerpike, deep within the bowels of his Eastwood bunker, "Naw, he's ra minister fur breaking up Britannia."
Followed by Don't ravish Tavish, (adopt regulation plums in mouth, the poor boy makes Betty Windsor sound common), "Oh no, how frightful, we're only interested in getting us poor Scots out of this dreadful recession, dontchaknow?"
Then Bella, the shadow shadow First Minister / Secretary of State for Scotland. " Stop chuntering, your obsessed, let's get on with panning Brown over his recession."
I look forward to the other heavyweights on the Scottish political scene weighing in, and denying a free vote to all MSP's, particularly, TheWendy, Jackie the Hutt, Baron Foulkes and Duncan McNeill. And of course, how could I forget Iain 'Giggety giggety goo' Gray.
Addendum
TheWendy, "Let the people have their say on this matter"

Montague,
How very unkind of you to mention heavy-weights and then refer to Jackie and the good Lord.
You would think that some adventurous, or even curious, journalist would ask the party-leaders if there was a vote on the referendum whether it would be a free vote or whether the parties would vote according to instructions from London HQ.

Where have you been? A sensible post from a nat blogger on 1st March!
And about my favorite nat , Mike Russell
"Freethinking"?. Is that allowed if you have party card
Do we not leave that sort of thing for Lord Foulkes, Holyrood's Red Baron.
If its good enough for the Baron then its good enough for us Nats.
Roll on independence and then we can all shout "Ahoy ma murkin"
Monty, at last your blog has come up, been trying here for an hour off and on.
I'm about to go and watch Politics Now (bit late I know) but have been reading comments about the behaviour of Glen Campbell. Time we bombarded the BBC with complaints perhaps, that bloke's been getting away with it too long. It's not that long until the election and we must have some kind of system to combat the bias shown in the media.
Ach weel, since most comments get lost in amongst the cock measuring that takes place on the Hootsman, I'd like to add this to the mix...
As many of our Unionist chums are fond of telling us now is not the time for a referendum, we should stop wasting public money on such frippery. Do they agree that if this is case then they too must stop the Calman commission?
