A quick, alternative Christmas message to Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and those who think principles are just what Americans call headmasters
Malcolm Chisholm, the Labour Communities Minister in the Scottish Parliament has resigned over Trident. Jack McDonnell, the First Minister said Labour MSPs must vote with their conscience (I would think it to be kind of refreshing if this was the norm). Be careful what you ask for Jack - like the little lad who asks Santa for a bike and gets a pink girly one with a shopping basket instead of a Harley Davidson.
Politicians who feel people will roll-over on this one are, to my mind, mistaken. This isn't essentially a policy decision, but a moral one and I don't think Labour Party people (or bulls) are going to roll over on this one.
