Padre Andrew Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think it's Wings over Scotland that was referring to him as 'Willie Rennie... aww, bless'. Politicians can take hatred and abuse; they don't cope with being patronised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair, although he is a political imbecile, he was by far the most entertaining of the lot of them. He was doing a Boris. And don't forget it was Fifers who voted for him. Although 9,000 students at St Andrews might have helped him out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE Fife has a long tradition of voting for the Liberals/Lib Dems - Ming Campbell was a popular MP there for years. It is a relatively prosperous, rural constituency, with a big farming vote, a university chock full of posh English students, and a lot of 'old' money in places like St Andrews, the East Neuk and little villages like Falkland and Ceres. In reality the surprise is that the SNP have ever had any elected representatives there. Plus, and I wasnt aware of this until recently, Rennie is a local, coming from Strathmiglo and attending the local school in Cupar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out he was a couple of years below me, I can't say I remember him. One of those really odd things, I was at the Howe 7s last weekend, chatting to my brother and a few other guys, this bloke walks up to me and introduces himself, saying he was at school with me. It was Willie Rennie. Strange experience. Edited May 14, 2016 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
