In the wake of the third and final Leaders’ Debate yesterday, representatives from the English Democrats, Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru have labelled the debates one-sided and biased in favour of Britain, seemingly unaware that England, Scotland and Wales are all part of the British Isles.

Whose idea was that? Ridiculous…she was just a bigoted woman.”

Having seen Mr. Brown’s comments, Mrs Duffy said that she was at first saddened at the thought of the nation’s leader slandering her in such a way, before relating that a cold, steely determination had grown inside of her to exact vengeance.
