Then again, maybe watching so called 'professional' political commentators say things you think 'that's rubbish' kinda acts as inspiration. And there's certainly a lot of inspiration at the moment in watching certain commentators talk about 'material change' when no such a thing has happened.<br /><br />Have you never thought of picking up the laptop again? :-)Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574173214924437278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738845518977466560.post-14887593739490974082017-01-20T20:46:22.897+00:002017-01-20T20:46:22.897+00:00Congratulations on the 10th birthday, Allan.

Some great posts, some I disagree with, and to be honest your Westminster focus doesn't really chime with my own these days, in fact I've to a large degree given up on Holyrood politics as well!<br /><br />But as someone who blogged in a fairly low-profile way for several years I know how 'lonely' and dispiriting it can be at times, particularly for someone who's not particularly partisan, and thus of less potential interest to the more zealous online political zeitgeist.<br /><br />So although I haven't necessarily agreed with a lot of what you've said, particular congratulations on the fortitude to keep going for a decade!Stuart Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772436419630464325noreply@blogger.com
