Opinions On Issues Of The Day- In Brief

[poliphilo]

Rotherham: Everyone who had anything to do with not protecting children should resign. It's the least they can do. Some of them should face prosecution.

Islamic State: Totally vile- but so is just about every other political group and government in the Middle East (including those we're allied with). The idea that we should curtail our liberties to guard ourselves against them is preposterous and pernicious.

UKIP: What a shower!

The EU: Looks like it's going to implode.

Boris Johnson: With any luck he'll be undone by his own irresponsibility and incompetence.

Scottish Independence: Bring it on. Anything that disrupts politics as usual has got to be a good thing.

The figures say the battle for independence will be lost, but I'm not so sure. I really wouldn't want to make a prediction.

I don't normally bet, but I've a feeling that they'll vote Yes. This would be a disappointment to me, so I may bet on it so that at least I'll have my winnings as compensation.
