Sarwar has less to lose as he won't be a potential leadership candidate as he is an MSP. The others are just "sookin' in" as we say "Here in Scotland".

As I say, I'm not against the occasional treat myself but there has also been Gov legistlation relating to the promotion and sale of similar products. Just to clarify, that's all.

OK. :-)) I think he made sure he was the centre of attraction too. i.e. that the cameras were always on him. So, we were given the impression that he sang more than he did. A lot of "miming" too back then.

The Internet has been around for almost 60 years now although the WWW just "took off" in the nineties. However, those of us in our 60s and 70s now would have only been in our 20s and 30s back then. So many of us are quite "au fait" with things.

Still a very small percentage of the total electorate. While it's true that both Tories and Labour have won on low percentages, it is safeish to assume that they were more likely to be "tolerated" by those in the "centre" who may have voted for another party. Reform are "beyond the pale" for most.

No doubt, you'll always see students on a night out or at a restaurant. However, it won't always be the same students as most will budget sensibly.
