    It will only be severe for those who can least afford it.
    How much more evidence do voters need that Biffo is a bottler when it comes to real governance rather than being in goverment?
    Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
    [COLOR="Red"]It was dignified, restrained and effective.[/COLOR]Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.

    So now McDaid from the far side also is playing the ultimatum game ...

    This takes the bolshie lefties out of play

    That presumes the Bolshies are bluffing.

    Are they?

    A poll on something that has yet to happen??? Perhaps we should all be applying for jobs with Irish Psychics or whatever that asewipes company is called.
