Les eleccions al parlament escocès i a l'assemblea gal.lesa són aquest 5 de maig.
L'SNP sortia bastant per darrera de les enquestes, tot i que en Salmond és el líder més ben valorat, amb el doble de nota que el líder laborista (què com es diu aquest? no m'en recordo...)
Ahir dia 19 el Scottish Sun del Murdoch va dornar-li suport per aquestes eleccions, un fet quasi històric. Entenen que la crisi actual té molt a veure amb el govern laborista anterior a Londres, i que votar tory o lib-dem és impopular ara ja que a Londres no estan gent encertats.
Així les coses, li valoren a l'SNP el seu esforç de govern en minoria des del 2007 i que hagi posat més prioritat en sortir de la crisi que en el referendum d'independència (que també el demana).
Ahir també en Sean Connery, membre del partit, va encapçalar una tria de actors, cuiners, empresaris etcètera que donen suport al SNP.
Cap a la remontada final!!!
Few weeks ago we realised that Norman John Gillies, one of the last inhabitants of St.KIlda when the island of Hirta was evaquated, died ate the age of 88.
Norman John was just 5 when he was evaquated with the other 35 membrers of the population. Few weeks before he saw his mother been token to the mainland from where he would not sa her again as she died after given birth to a baby who didn't survive neither.
Norma John established himself in England and always said that he was lucky to be able to enjoy the life in the mainland instead of the hardship of St.Kilda. Always he was able and ready to speak out about the group of islands and he visietd it some time during the years.
With him, we lose the last speaker of the real St.Kilda, leaving behind the last suvivor, his own cousin, who don't remember because aging problems about her past.
Rest in Peace.
