That's next week. Away to top of the table Wycombe this weekend.

Sweet Relegation zone on Saturday evening then....

Can't see any reason why he won't be in the squad for the Swansea game. I assume someone's booking a flight for him as we speak....?!

OK, perhaps I should have worded it differently. I mean they have the best interest of the UK in that they don't want it broken apart ergo they wouldn't do anything to jeopardise the future of the UK. The SNP would do anything they could to undermine the UK. Anyway, if there's one thing I should credit the SNP for its that they've made politics almost interesting again

Fair point

Welcome home Mane Someone get him on a plane first thing tomorrow

Yep (I think!)

I guess argument in this scenario is that the separatists could end up with a disproportional amount of influence on UK politics by being in the cabinet. The same amount of disproportionate representation that people were moaning about in 2010 when the Lib Dems got a sniff of power. Yes, OK, the lib dems have hardly altered the course of history with their interventions, but thats largely due to them ultimately acting in the interests of the UK whereas the SNP would be aiming to cause as much disharmony as possible.

Come on Ghana!!

If you were a politician trying to convince a room of 100 voters to vote for your party what would you gain most from? - A room where only 10% of the people could vote for you? Or - a room where 90% of the people could vote for you? The reason the SNP are so keen to participate in the "10% room" is to bang the separation drum on a bigger stage rather than presenting the policies that they believe will make the UK a better place, the UK being the country they are aiming to represent by standing at this election....

Spot the cock....

League 2 fixtures tonight: Accrington v Bury Cambridge v Dagenham A win for Bury (to put Pompey 15 points below the playoffs) and a win or draw for Dagenham (to put Pompey 2 points above relegation), please

I can't answer for Wes Tender but whilst I also "dislike" the SNP it's not my reason for saying they shouldn't be included in the UK-wide TV debate(s). I simply see a mis-match between a regional political party and the TV audience to which they are appealing for votes.

Indeed, and not to mention the part they played in Thatcher getting elected in 1979....

Talking of the NHS, here's a cage rattler.... http://www.bruceonpolitics.com/2014/11/27/nhs-safe-conservatives/

I can see us getting gazumped if we leave it until the summer. Put a cheeky 'too good to refuse' offer in this week I say

On that we can agree

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/11370935/David-Cameron-A-Labour-SNP-coalition-would-be-genuinely-frightening.html Yes, I know I fall into the "well, you would agree with Cameron, wouldn't you?" camp, but what he says here is spot on IMO. Wouldn't it be bordering on 'unconstitutional' for a party to have a share of power in a country (the UK) that they ultimately want to see destroyed? Surely, a party (or parties) have to run the country in the interests of the country as a whole rather than in the interests of just part of it? Yes, I know the counter argument from the separatists will be "well, that happens already as the UK isn't run in the interests of Scotland" but a party who wants to break up the very country they may end up running (as part of a coalition) seems like a distortion of democracy to me. It would be a bit like having an ardent Pompey fan on the board of Southampton Football Club.... #probable bad analogy glaxon #
