Local Government By-elections

saltire shield'The British honours system stinks. It must be about the best honours system that money can buy. Knighthoods and life peerages are doled out to time-serving chancers, place-seeking chanty wrasslers, party hacks being put out to grass, and deep-pocketed donors to party funds. New Labour's Honours list keeps up this tradition. Substantial donors to New Labour funds were suddenly found to be such estimable citizens that knighthoods and peerages were the least a grateful government could do.'
Jimmy Reid in the Herald, 24 th June 1998.		Lion Rampant
