Jimbob Murphy the venerable Secretary for the state of Scotland hits the news today, in the super Soaraway Scoddish Sun.
He's grabbed the front page declaring jobs for all, only possible through the divine working of a Labour government. A closer analysis reveals much of what he claims is a rehash of the old YOP schemes of 30 years ago, when my generation were wiped out of the jobs market.
So rather than receive dole money, if you're between 18 and 24 it's off to Tescos to train how to stack shelves from 10am to 8pm then in six months time, if you're really lucky...you might be kept on, although chances are a fresh 18 year old will be taking your training place.
The other big news, which I seem to recall was an SNP campaign about ten years ago is that Scoddish motorists are finally to be allowed place a saltire on their registration plate and not face penal servitude for identifying with Scotland. In fact I seem to remember Helen Liddle of Airdrie and Adelaide, the then secretary for the state of Scotland actually backed the SNP campaign. It's only taken them ten years to implement it....
Speaking to DVLA Direct, Murphy said: “The Saltire is a proud symbol of Scotland which belongs to every Scottish driver, so it’s right that Scottish drivers here should be allowed to display it on their licence plates, not just separatist drunken drivers of baby raping, planet killing nationalist vehicles.

I like the photie ae Spud. What happened to the apprenticeships? Apprentice shelve stackers? How nice of Labour to allow Scots to identify themselves as such.
lol, what did you do to the skulls face, its like a kerr's pink spud.
Its always the same with the sleaze party, come out with the Scottish mantra when we are down. My little Mini cooper has the saltire on its reg and noting in this world would ever make me take it off.
lol, Labour creating jobs for all, your right not all of us want to pack shelves for a living.
I don't need Labour for my career nor do i want them, Labour have absolutely no part in my life what so ever
Smashing photo Monty. This was in today's Record too. Something about "Jim Murphy creates 50,000 jobs for teenagers" it was. No detail given of course.
And yes I thought it would be like the old YOP scheme but let me tell you. the standard of it will be far lower. At least in YTS exams say in engineering were City & Guilds standard but they were done away with in favour of these low grade SVQs. I protested for about a year about this, even down to standing outside No 10 but to no avail. The people interested in quality education lost.
Aye Subrosa. The SVQs that no one can fail. Worst thing we ever did. There's nothing more disheartening than seeing a lad come into an interview with a folder full of certificates that mean nothing. It's not fair to people to do that to them just so the numbers look good. Mind it wasn't Labour what done it.
Spud is looking a wee bit skinny though? Do you think he's eating OK? Maybe Eck should take him for a curry from time to time; build the wee soul up, for when he's down at Tesco next year, stacking the shelves.
