SNP state independence is goal for 2003
Alex Salmond, the leader of the SNP and Scotlands second biggest party
in the new parliament said
"We will win the next Scottish parliament election, I'm absolutely sure
about that," he said yesterday. "Labour are only 5% ahead of us in the
regional list - we're within touching distance. In four years' time, do you
think Labour are going to be more or less popular than they are now?
I always said this was a marathon, not a sprint. Our expectation was
that we were hoping to win, but we're very satisfied with the bridgehead
we've established. We're unstoppable now. All the problems are
Labour's and all the opportunities are ours."
Kosovo
Flag waving, jingoistic B---S--- helped the SNP lose the election.
Mr Salmond said the bombing would only reinforce the Serbs resistance
to NATO without ground troops being involved and YES it has become
an "unpardonable folly"
The Lehrer news hour in the USA last night had leading editors from
across the USA say that NATO needs to use ground forces to finish this
or pull out. That bombing had been ineffective and had NOT stopped the
refugee problem.
Alex Salmond was right, but the stupid Union Jack waving Unionist idiots
couldn't see it, why pass up the chance to inflict war damage
on a poorer country without setting CLEAR goals first? Perhaps these
same Unionists want to see the slaughter in East Timor continue
with "BRITISH" weapons sold to the Indonesian government too.....
