  1. Ha ha! Great viewing! Long may the unionist disarray continue! Leaderless, rudderless, clueless and hopeless in equal measure!

  2. You're flyting, forfar-loon - a great auld Scots tradition of insult and invective. Let me contribute -

    ON THE SCOTTISH UNIONISTS

    They couldnae find their erses wi' baith haunds.

    Their mammies pit them oot wi' their heids oan back tae front.

  4. The abject tatters of the rump unionism representation in Scotland may do little to sustain the profile of Holyrood government when it restarts.

If you came first, you got a lump sum immediately, equivalent to members x 1 week's contributions - if you came last, you financed all the other at zero interest.

    The person that ran the menage either got a percentage or a free entry - or both. Simples! But the Unionists couldnae run wan ...
