There may be no fishing any longer, but people remember and people know. They remember their fathers and their fathers' fathers fishing and earning a living by fishing, just as mine did. They see it like this: they see the London Government allowing honest working men to go to the wall. They see the SNP trying to help.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps now, you can see, from this one example, why nobody is betting against the SNP in the by-election and why Gordon Brown will be wise to keep his face away from Glenrothes.<BR/><BR/>(re-posted from a longer piece on my blog)Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-61924997742454645862008-08-22T21:31:00.000+01:002008-08-22T21:31:00.000+01:00I do not know Glenrothes, and presume it is a bit ...I do not know Glenrothes, and presume it is a bit more affluent than Parkhead, Baillieston, etc., but can we actually use this by-election to show up Labour's neglect of those who rely on them most?<BR/><BR/>This was not pushed hard enough for national consumption at Glasgow East - IDS going up and pontificating a bit does not a damning indictment make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
