Burns Night

~tatterdemalion

There's nought but care on ev'ry han'

In ev'ry hour that passes, O:

What dignifies the life o'man,

An' 'twere na for the lasses, O.

Green grow the rashes, O;

The sweetest hours that e'er I spend,

Are spent among the lasses, O.

It's Burn's Night, pub. I'll stand everyone a dram of Scotch whisky tonight. My health hasn't allowed it for a while, but I'll have just a drop of Laphroaig. More a sniff than a taste...

Saor Alba, and saw off England and sink it in the sea with all the Tories aboard!

Its crazy how close the UK came to having a rational government. Corbyn would have really help undo a lot of post-Thatcher-Cameron damage that party has done to the country, and actually claim back some public services that were sold off to private entities.

But no, the people wanted Boris, and acted shocked when he behaved exactly as people said he would. Crazy how fast a country can sink itself, though I guess its been going that way for 12 years now, and if 40% of the country want to read the Murdoch press, then who are we to take the bottle from the baby...

I'll drink to an independent Scotland, and to the dissolution of Westminster brick-by-brick, but only if you drink one for the lost English and Welsh caught under this mad tyranny.
