Chiswickite - formerly The Croydonian

I suspect that few of us this side of the border pay much heed to what happens in Scotland, so I am taking the liberty of passing on this nugget from The Scotsman to a smaller audience:

"The Conservatives will today provide further evidence of their campaigning fire-power as Annabel Goldie takes to the air in a frenetic attempt to visit all their Scottish target seats in a day....The Conservatives' airborne style is in marked contrast to the more low-key Labour campaign which has already acknowledged it cannot hope to keep pace with their better-funded Tory rivals. The Scottish campaign yesterday sought to make a virtue of necessity, revealing how it planned to use party members to phone up one million voters...Conservatives in Scotland are sensitive to claims they are outspending Labour, pointing out how they are self-funding. One senior source said: "All the money we spend was raised in Scotland. We don't get money from down south."

Interesting, no?  For the record, I remain a conviction unionist, and hope that the Unionists under the doughty Mrs Goldie will deliver a few more seats for the cause.
