St George's Day

Today is St George's Day so cue a flurry of announcements from our politicians !

And to accompany our blog post here is the wonderful statue of Saint George and the dragon from St George's Cross in Glasgow. The statue was presented to the people of Glasgow by the Cooperative Wholesale Society in 1897 and stood on the old Co-op building at the cross until the building was demolished in 1985 at which time the sculpture was saved and it was given its new site in 1988.
So lets wait and see what Alex Salmond has to say today about links between the North of England and an Independent Scotland when he visits the Borders.  And playing for the other side today we have David Cameron making a plea as well ! More later !

And we still have to digest (and read in the first place), Gordon Brown's announcement yesterday about pensions and whether an Independent Scotland can afford the public sector ones.

And did you watch What Women Want last night on BBC2 with Jackie Bird ? It was quite interesting about whether women vote differently, do we take longer to ponder the opposing arguments or do we just want the answers and haven't yet been given them ?
And this morning Morning Call is discussing those same issues on Radio Scotland - did you hear me speaking to Kirsty Wark in the introduction to the programme ?
