Blacksburg Virginia joins Columbine, Pennsylvania etc. etc. not only in America of course but it seems, in a strange inexplicable way, less dramatic when it happens there.
Americans must be used to it you might think but you can't in my opinion get used to this, it's not possible, even in the USA where murders are so commonplace and guns are so easy to get, over 3,000 children alone die by gunfire each year. The stories about how easy it is to buy guns are scary, Bush publicly prayed but didn't mention gun ownership, the Republican Party receives millions and millions of dollars from the rifle association, yes really, they commented that 'if the students had all been armed, this would not have happened' ( ponder that )
In a Guardian report we learn that at the time of this incident in a broadcast interview John Bolton former USA ambassador to the UN was asked 'by what right does the USA impose it's values by force on foreign states' he replied simply "Try and stop us" he's a senior American politician ( ponder that ).
Can anything good be said about this ? well actually, yes it can, consider the students who acted on impulse to rescue their wounded friends, at great danger to themselves. Consider the elderly teacher, an Auswitch survivor who blocked the gunman's path by holding a door closed, he payed with his life, we would all like to think that we would show this kind of courage in such a desperate situation.
Will anything be done about guns in America ? While the firearms industry continues to make billions of dollars and give millions to the Republican Party the answer is no.
Picture the scene a guy walks into a gun store and walks out again with a military style heavy machine gun, capable of killing hundreds in seconds. The guy lives quietly with his family goes to church and works in a local factory and no one asks 'what's that all about' ?
In America, money doesn't talk, it shouts and bawls.

SICK, FILTHY, RIGHT WING COWARDS !
I urge everyone who reads this blog to read all of the recent comments. I want you to know what the far right anonymous thugs are like. They certainly like to talk tough, have a look and see what you think of your fellow humans, some of this mob crawl out occasionally and shout abuse and then run off and hide under their stones. Steel yourself and read it, these people are real and could be living near you, what a thought !

IRAN, THE JACK TARS & THE FLAG WAVERS
The beastly Iranians pulled a dirty trick and captured 15 of our brave British sailors. They then subjected them to unspeakable deprivations too horrible to recount, and made them lie to the world, as always our heroes stood up to their evil captors with the good old bull dog spirit which has made our proud country the ruler of the waves, god bless her and them etc. etc. They faced the 'bumping pitch and blinding light' like true British Sailors.
An easy victory and publicity triumph was achieved by the Iranians when 15 British sailors surrendered to them without a fight, our lot acted like a bunch of bloody 'Johnny Foreigners', everyone of them should go before a court martial and be drummed out of Her Majesty's Navy. They now have the audacity to sell their stories to the press, how dare they, it will take a long, long time before the British Empire lives this down.
Who wrote which of the above accounts ? Actually, they both come from right wing sources, the same people who immediately started flag waving several days later turned on them with a vengeance.
From heroes to cowards in the British Tory press only takes a day or two, how typical of the right, no real loyalty to anyone except themselves, what a mess they've got themselves into.
The armchair combatants and ringside fighters are apoplectic and it is an extremely ugly site.
I hope everyone is having a good hard look at them, Biggles and Colonel Blimp how are ye ?

RIGHT WING LIARS
IRAQ MANIPULATORS - I suppose I should have expected it, my article on the Iran captives has been seized on by the raging right wing fanatic ' right for Scotland ' who accuses me of doing them down because of my reference to the Monty Python sketch 'the Spanish inquisition'
I urge everyone to read it and consider what goes on in this guys head, if he feels obliged to write to me like this he is going to be a very busy boy indeed considering the deluge of criticism hitting them now, guess where from ? yup, knuckle dragging reactionaries just like ' right for Scotland' it will be interesting to see where he now goes with this.
His real problem of course is, that the Govt. has handled the situation well and no one has lost their life, that's what he and the right wing press and the retired military types are angered by.
They like nothing better than a good bloody conflict as long as they are far enough away from it. This is exemplified by poor old prince Harry who will now spend whatever time he does in Iraq worrying that one of his body guards might get hurt.
A young recruit lost his nerve and ran from a battle in a blind panic, when he collapsed exhausted and terrified he saw a big pair of shiny boots, looking up he saw an officer to whom he blurted out " I'm sorry corporal I couldn't help it I was scared " the officer said, "don't call me corporal laddie I'm a general"
"Christ" said the distraught lad, " have I run that far " ?
Good luck to the freed captives and I hope they make plenty from it, if all kinds of upper class retired military nonentities can write memoirs, why can't the poor bloody infantry ?

VOTERS AND POLLS
Friday March 6Th. 07 what has been going on ? all these polls showing the loonies about to take over the asylum. We in the Labour Party have been canvassing as we always do and when we meet up to swap stories we all express amazement at the polls, we all report positive responses and no sign of any SNP surge, are the right wing press up to their dirty tricks ? probably, but today's Herald shows a dramatic leap for Labour into a 4 point lead, maybe McConnell, Blair and Brown aren't as unpopular with the people who matter as the press try to tell us they are.
I was with Jack McConnell in Paisley and the response was great, people were glad to see him and they were quite willing to argue but they were friendly and well disposed to Labour, all three also put on an excellent press conference on Wed. which was shamefully played down by the media and here lies a serious malady. It's ten years since the wretched Tories and even longer since the war criminal Thatcher was in power, some journalists who don't remember those dark days are bored and want excitement by trying to elect the SNP.
They do this with a completely cavalier attitude to the consequences for the people who would have to pay the price, they make me nostalgic for the times when journalism was a respected profession, not now, not with this lot, they are a disgrace. I wonder what they tell their families they do for a living, child slave traders perhaps to avoid the shame of admitting to being a Scottish journalist.
Scottish Journalists ( not all of them ) remind me of an old American cartoon where the newsroom boss wearing his visor and shirt sleeve garters is jumping with joy because he's just heard that a plane full of people has just crashed into a packed orphanage !
IRAN - Blair played a blinder in dealing with the hostages didn't he, oh yes he did. Hundreds on both sides would be dead by now if Thatcher had been in charge and we would be further entrenched in another conflict which will cost us dear and will not be won.
I sat watching some of the scenes in the pub ( you're shocked eh ? ) with some mates who are irreverent to say the least all of them about my age and Monty Python fans, one took up the sketch about the Spanish inquisition yelling ' my god, how cruel, they are making them smoke cigarettes - making them eat food - now they are forcing them to wear suits and shirts - making them smile and shake hands, the beasts etc. etc. black humour ? laughing at trouble ? of course it was but today, the day after their return there are newspapers saying that the sailors captured were too compliant and one or two crusty old armchair commandos are calling for them to be court marshalled, and that, is not funny !

THE SNP MOB
On Sunday evening we got a glance of what life would be like under nationalism and Alex Salmond 'we saw the future and it smirks' ( apologies to Bert. Russell ) This is a man who is difficult to like, this man can strut while seated. snide comments and sarcastic laughter are his debating tools and the whole package oozes arrogance, not a pretty sight.
The SNP would have us believe that they are very confident, cocky even, why is it then that they still find it necessary to orchestrate applause for Alex Salmond's every word and heckling for Jack McConnell, the cack handed way this was done on Sunday had everyone cringing with embarrassment, except of course Salmond who is immune to insult he is impervious to everything but blows, the king of the brass necks. Each time the camera showed the audience clapping it was the same people doing it, with two demented looking gnats actually heckling McConnell highlighting very poor chairmanship.
Incidentally one of the 'poles' which didn't get much publicity was Ladbroke's and William Hill's who both have Labour as favourites to win the most Holyrood seats, how often do they get it wrong ?

TWA DUGS
Hi, this is big Molly here, 
I don't look very alert in this shot because I'm just back from a long walk and a swim in the Clyde as well as a fight with an angry swan, I decided to let him live.
People have been asking the boss about me and my wee pal Bessie ( well sometimes pals ) she is now a fully grown up 100% fighting barking nuisance, I on the other hand am quite well behaved now as becomes a dog who is a Staffordshire Bull Terrior / Labrador cross, I have now gone 20 fights undefeated at Erskine Beach but I'm too modest to brag about it, the pets that hang around there are no match for me.
That's one of the reasons that I've got form, yes, I've done time, in fact the boss keeps threatening to return me to Cardonald " where you belong " says he. I had great mates up there, some of them were great dogs who had strayed off the straight and narrow but they would still be well worth saving, they are good natured and just need a little TLC, what are you waiting for ?
Bessie here, I've been told that I'm gorgeous in this shot but I don't like that kind of stuff, after all I'm a Lakeland Terrorist and we kill foxes and rats, in fact
just about anything is fair game, especially when big Moll is with me to back me up. I'm glad she's my mate, she's like a cross between a crocodile and a donkey, I still fight with her but she's less tolerant than when I was a pup, I find the best time to give her a nip is when she is sleeping and then it's offsky and under the bed where she can't reach me.
We are however great with people, especially children ( there's always grub around kids ) this excludes anyone in uniform, postmen, bin men etc. we still have our reputation to think of, There's a big fat magpie which scavenges around our yard and it flies down and then away when we try to catch it, it's a great game and the bird loves it, so do we and we will also love it when we catch it and tear it too bits.
Molly's dead right about the dogs at Cardonald they just need a second chance, what are you waiting for ?

WELCOME BROTHERS AND SISTERS
The above title words are what I would say to those who come here looking for work and a better life - I say the same to asylum seekers about whom so many lies are told, the reactionary right scream 'Britain is a soft touch', while the official statistics tell us that over 80% are refused. What they have to endure while waiting to be refused and, the way they are taken into custody and incarcerated brings shame on this country.
Many of these migrants are young, fit, skilled and willing to work as well as pay taxes while actually being denied most benefits, unemployment levels are unchanged, again giving the lie to the reactionary yells of 'taking our jobs'
The right wing try to demonise people and stir up fear and the gutter press encourage them.
I believe that we are better than this and we should start by treating asylum seekers like human beings as a matter of urgency - whatever the circumstances there is no excuse for dawn raids which cause fear and alarm to families, particularly with young children.
Surely we can start by sorting this out ? write to MP's MSP's etc to urge change - don't be tempted to use or exploit the situation like Rosie Kane of the SSP. She pulled the stunt of taking some asylum seekers into her home in a blaze of publicity and she cheapened herself and the whole issue, with friends like that etc. etc.
Evil people deliberately fuel hatred against these minorities for their own twisted ends and we all have to be vigilant in defence of what is decent, otherwise how can we as a society claim to decent and just ?

DEM BONES
" Oh the leg bone's connected to the foot bone " and don't I know it, yesterday saw me out delivering leaflets for the first time in ages and my bones now know about it, after about 30 mns in the warm sun I was aware of a small voice saying " mister why are you sitting on my daddy's wall sleeping " I opened my eyes, stinging with sweat to see a wee girl carrying a doll and looking at me with a degree of pity, "I'm just resting love" said I, and, since she lived there I got her to take my leaflet up the long garden path to her mother, bless her.
Yes it's that time again, sore feet, sore muscles, big slavering dugs and endless door knocking. The following actually happened, a woman called out her window from her top flat to me gesturing to me to come up, I dragged myself up three flights determined to win a vote and she said " Oh I don't want a leaflet I just want you to tell this wean that you'll take him away if he disnae stop greeting " it's true honestly.
I'm pleased to report though that, ( like Mark Twain ) reports of the death of the Labour Party are an exaggeration, when we get the chance to talk to the electorate we are addressing their concerns and we are in tune with them, it also gives us the chance to put the record straight about what our opponents are saying, and that's always worthwhile, suffice to say the Herald's version of events is not what's happening on the doorstep.

IT AINT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER
Scotland V Italy last night reminded me of why international football is so flawed, yes it's good to have a go at the giants but some people start to believe that there is a chance and these hopes are dashed, this was David V Goliath, only this time the Bookie's favourites won.
Italy is a great football country and Scotland has produced some really great players, the trick is to produce them at the same time, you could pick a team from the last 30 yrs that would see Scotland threaten anyone and that's what makes it all so frustrating - Law, Bremner, Baxter, Dalgliesh, Souness, Macari, Jordan, Jardine, McGrain, Johnstone, Henderson, Millar, McLeish etc etc.
The commentators we use are truly awful, Ian McCall is the latest and the worst IMO, he talks partisan rubbish and is embarrassing, he's a supporter with a mike and only feeds the fans frustrations, Scotland did OK and can still qualify but it won't be easy.
England IMO will also qualify but what about poor old Steve McLaren the manager, his head is being called for after 5 games by a hysterical press who demand success because they see themselves as favourites to win everything.
This stems from the time when they won the world cup with a team who were a match for anyone past or present, this present England team are not in that class, despite great players like Rooney and Gerrard.
If these managers are guilty of anything it's the fact that Alex McLeish doesn't have Law, Baxter and Jinky Johnstone and Steve McLaren doesn't have Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton or Geoff Hurst, the fact that Jimmy Greaves couldn't get into that team is a sobering thought. It's still all to play for and the fight goes on, it's what makes it the beautiful game.

FERGUSLIE SCHOOLS
St Fergus primary have just had a glowing report from HMI and now as their local councillor I will bask in their reflected glory. The 'heedie' Maureen Haney informed me of this and she was chuffed by it and quite rightly so, as I've said before the schools, teachers and kids in Ferguslie are a match for anyone and I'm proud to represent them. St. Fergus were given high praise for their accommodation, their inclusive ethos, their excellent community links, their excellent and hard working school board and the quality of the teaching staff as well as other things too numerous to mention, well done to all.
Anyone driving or walking through the estate will notice an almost completed new school building, this will replace the Craigielea and Ferguslie primaries and will be called Glencoats Primary.
All three primaries have served the Ferguslie community well over the years and they continue to do so, the closure of any school is a mixture of sadness and optimism for the future. Some parents will have a last look at where they were taught as infants and the memories will flood back, they will also look with pride at the new school and the state of the art surroundings and facilities and be delighted that their children will be part of it.
I regard it as a privilege to be associated with the education of the children of the area and I pay tribute to everyone involved, above all I'm proud to be part of Renfrewshire's Labour Council who have delivered these schools despite our opponents saying that we would never do it.

SCOTLAND V GEORGIA
When I watched the game it was Georgia and when I wrote about it on Monday they had become Croatia, maybe it was all too exciting. Check out some of the comments about this howler, some people have shot themselves in the foot in their anxiety to get at me, I must be getting to them !

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME - THE ONLY GAME !
Was unexpected sunshine a good omen ? Friday was close to freezing, Saturday was sunny and windless, perfect for fitba, Mampden looked magnificent the crowd were noisy and partisan, and the opposition were able, a wee bit too able as it turned out.
After a great start and a goal, Scotland proceeded to miss some good chances while Georgia quietly played themselves into the game until, quite suddenly they were well on top with some brilliant football, Shota Averthingmy was destined to score wasn't he, it then became nail biting time until the hero arrived in the unlikely shape of the tall gangling Craig Beattie. Careering into the box like bambi on ice, he killed the ball on his chest and volleyed home the winner in the dying seconds, cue joy unconfined and Georgian despair, Scots are now starting to believe that they can qualify.
Well done indeed to everyone involved, honest endeavour won the day and to Craig Beattie I say, paraphrasing W.S. ' some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them'. Where is Italy anyway ?
