I am a teacher / yearbook advisor. One of my students found your site by searching for bubble images. She would like to use the above picture of bubbles in our yearbook. Would you please send me information about this image so that I can contact the correct person to obtain permission to use the image?

Many say that the SNP do better when people are feeling good about themselselves. That has, in my experience, probably true.
However, when the recession/depression starts to really bite in 2009 people should remember one thing: it was Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson et al who got us into this mess in the first place with their (continued) slavish adoration of Thatcherism and the free market conmen who now look like the bunch of snake oil salemen they always were.
And those economies which had a bit more regulation and policed the workings of capitalism a bit more strictly will be the ones which will be less affected.

Salmond’s honeymoon had to end some time – he’s got away with too much because there is no effective opposition. Has he got the stomach to push the independence agenda now? I don’t think we can read too much into this for Brown although it seems clear that the General Election won’t be a foregone conclusion now.
