SOME time ago, HAS correspondent Hugh Pender seemed to insinuate that England and the Government could not manage without Scottish talent.

Some talent. It seems they have none. No policies and ideas of their own, so Gordon Brown steals other parties' ideas.

It is time these misfits in the English Government were ousted and chased back over the border.

English votes for English politicians. Why should Scottish MPs vote on English matters and laws? English MPs have no say over matters in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament does that.

Come out of your hiding hole, Mr Brown. Prove you are a man, not a mouse and call an election now.

Your days are numbered anyway.
