Advance with gusto 4:22pm on 02 Jul 2008 I hate to disagree with you quietscotsmac but I thought Angus Robertson was poor this morning. He didn't inspire me in fact he sounded more than a bit patronising.

Mind you his question at PMQs was just odd - he said that the government could have used the Recess Elections Act and held the by election later on in the summer. Given that I'm a bit of a geek on these matters I'd like to point out he is completely wrong as the MP has to die or become a Lord for that to be used. It may be a simple error but it makes me question their attention to detail!

Maybe next time he should give me a call I'll keep him right!
'Smoking ban' moment 2:18pm on 18 Jun 2008 Raising the age is an interesting concept but I'm not sure it will solve the problem. But then again if there was an easy solution someone would have come up with it already!
I agree with stopping some of the ridiculous booze offers that are clearly aimed at the younger market. When our local off licence got new owners they did a special on buckfast and advertised it heavily. Funnily enough with a week there was trouble in the area surrounding from groups of very drunk teenagers. I am at a loss as to how you turn round the binge drinking, the decline in parental resposibility and the lack of respect from youths (I sound so old I've turned into my mother!!) but I'm not sure this is the answer.
