Wee Eck Promises £100 Million!

Alec Salmond promised £100 million to save HBoS, and blames "Spivs" for dropping this once great company in the brown stuff.

Never mind that not only has he not got the money, even if Scotland was independent, he would be talking about twice the annual budget of the country to back up a failed business that was actually based in Yorkshire Engerlund.

And blaming the "Spivs and Criminals" in the hedgefunds for the "disaster" inadvertently slags off his new best friend Sir George Mathewson who runs one of the bigger hedge funds.

Are the wheels coming of Wee Eck's trolley?

Nope, once again, he's shot off the sound bites from the hip, a moments reflection, and the excuses come out just as fast - it's not short selling that was the problem, it's "Naked Shortselling". And of course the old mantra - "If only we ran our own affairs as an Independent Scotland............." and Wee Eck would attach his wings and fly. Levitating Porcines!

Sounds like that great USA'ism thats going around, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig", and we at OchEye will be waiting for the next Wee Eck oink.
