Mr Rational Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Fined £750 according to the Guardian. Failure to comply complete spending returns apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 With that and his meltdown over the complete and utter dismantling as fiction of his Wee Blue Book which has seen him delete pages from his website he's not having a good week. Pleasing, most most pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleasing, most most pleasing. Missed that, link? edited to add: A quick twitter trawl for wee blue book suggest Kevin Hague of the Telegraph wrote a rebuttal to some points in the WBB, his intepretation of which is being treated as gospel by one side of the argument and utterly dismissed by the other, as you would expect, and as generally happens whenever the positions are reversed.

BerwickMad Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I thought he was just some pathetic lonely loser from Bath. Did he stand for election or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but given the money put into commisioning the book, various polls and such he had to declare himself as an active participant in the referendum such that he had to then catalogue his returns, or something like that.

welshbairn Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Where does the name 'Wings over Scotland' come from? I assumed it was something to do with the film Wings over Berlin starring Colombo (Peter Falk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I assumed it was something to do with the film Wings over Berlin starring Colombo (Peter Falk). Never seen it. Bella Caledonia I'm guessing comes from 'Poor Things' (which after noticing the blog I suddenly twigged was about Scottish independence, somehow totally missed that when I - and a class full of other English lit students - studied it), so wondered if Wings over Scotland comes from some similar literary source.

The film was directed by Wim Wenders and based on Rilke's poetry if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Yeah I had a sneaky feeling someone else was paying for it. Easy to risk other people's money.
