It's taken them long enough and I bet they don't dig deep enough. It'll be a typical Labour cop-out.
Perhaps they should ask the likes of Carole Cadwalladr where to look to start the dominoes toppling.

"Where were you when my ship went down
Where were you when I ran a ground
Where were you when I turned it around
Where were you when they burned me down."

Your comment lands on the very day that the Scottish comedian Stanley Baxter has died at the age of 99.

If they have a plan I reckon it's for them to go the opposite of what is right everytime.
And then everytime after that.

Is she remembered on the Maxwelltown memorial? (My favourite war memorial btw).
I'm assuming she is buried somewhere in Dumfries?
