. . . Glasgow North East in a by-election caused by the resignation of Speaker Martin, scapegoated by the Establishment following the MPs' Expenses Scandal. And lo! The Labour benches in Parliament are already celebrating another Great Labour Victory in the next General Election. Don't count chickens, folks! Glasgow NE is (probably) the most underemployed, quasi-literate, welfare dependent constituency in the land. They would vote for a collie dog, or a caulflower, or a cardboard cut-out of Mickey Mouse as long as it had a Labour ticket hung round its neck. Voting Labour is one of their Great Traditions, along with drink and football-watching. The exciting aspects of the result are twofold. First, another drubbing handed out to the self-satisfied, self-regarding, Alex Salmond, Tartan Chief of the SNP, aptly described by one wag as "Great Pudding of the Chieftain Race"(*). Second - the Tories only just pipped the BNP for third place. Nick Griffin always looks like he needs a clean shirt and his suit pressed, but the fact that this dismal politician can give the Tories a close run holds the prospect of exciting times ahead next Spring.
FTSE closed last evening at 5269. Wall Street;s Dow-Jones index fell 94 points and so my potential profit of £1500 odd on the November FTSE Option contracts is beginning to look fairly safe. Expiry next Friday, 20th. November

I don't leave comments on blogs that use Word Verification. Ditto blogs which I know have Comment Moderation applied. Life's too short and I'm too busy makin' money and what the Hell are these people scared of anyway? If you don't like some creep's comment . . TRY DELETING IT! You have that privilege.
And I never read unpunctuated so-called poetry. I don't understand why self-styled poets think it's clever to make their work difficult to read/understand.
