Thank you
I just want to th
ank those of you who voted for me in the Total Politics blog poll. Regardless of where I was in your personal Top Ten, I am very grateful that you thought of me.
I only just scraped in at number 48, but I should be promoted to 47 as Al Jahom has admitted to not being Scottish. He says, I just happen to support Scottish independence for English reasons. I don’t know why he wants a weakened Union as long as we remain part of the EU. That’s not going to do England any favours at all. Or Scotland.
At least I beat most of the several blogging Scottish MPs, MSPs and Councillors. Tom Harris was numero uno for the third year running and a Cllr Fraser Macpherson, who is a LibDem Councillor in Dundee, was in 18th place.
The deserved winner, in my opinion, moved up a place into second spot: Underdogs Bite Upwards. Old Leggy has a handle on most things and writes with wit and style.
Glad to see Subrosa is also in the Top 10 and The Marmalade Sandwich a new entry at number 30.
So, thank you again.

Well done Stewart and well deserved. You write some provocative posts which may make some uncomfortable, but for me it’s most interesting to read another aspect of an issue.
Your 9/11 post gives more food for thought. I admit to not having studied the subject but I do note that more and more respected Americans are speaking out.
In answer to your question, I’ve seem a couple of large buildings demolished by professionals and they fell in a similar manner to building 7. I’ve never seen a building destroyed by any other means so can’t compare and must rely on honest engineers.
Thank you, Subrosa. I appreciate that. I guess my posts are provocative as most people try to avoid certain issues. I am fortunate to have some good locals who pop in to help me or attack me.
Re. 9/11, I realise it is a major paradigm shift for many people to be able to accept that their government is as mad as any other on the planet.
Fire has never totally brought down a steel framed skyscraper, apart from on 9/11, when three came down. The towers, of course, fell from the top down, so it’s not even consistent!

Keep it up Mr Cowan.
Absolutely, Len. Thank you.
