FAILED TORY 'LORDS' ATTACK SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

With friends like this, Tony Blair needs more enemies. Today 'Lord ' Forsyth, probably the most unpopular Secretary of State for Scotland ever and one of the men along with 'Lord' Lang who presided over the Tories collapse to zero seats in Scotland have yet again attacked Scottish Independence hopes.

It's time these relics were shoved out of the Lords and onto the doll queue. After independence their cushy positions, large salaries and ermine robes will be put in the dustbin and there is no place better designed for this shower of no-hopers!

Former leader of the Liberal Democrats 'Lord' Steel also attacks Scottish independence despite his own party supposedly believing in a federal UK.

Despite huge desire for devolution, both Ian Lang and Michael Forsyth ignored the will of the Scottish people (who had already voted in 1979 for devolution) and forced Tory policies down our throats. They received a richly deserved order of the boot when they were wiped out in Scotland (they still have only one MP in Scotland today).

They want devolution to go in reverse, Lord Forsyth has called for it to be removed on a number of occasions, however the logic of devolution is that if we want more powers over our own affairs then the only way is independence.
