@RPMcGee It's a test. If Scots believe Cameron and vote NO in #indyref they are obviously too stupid to run their own country.

Lady Warsi's call to fight "intolerant secularism" and "give faith a seat at the table" in the UK ensured she was given a warm welcome by the Vatican but Twitter was not so generous.
Has no one considered that if God exists She surely doesn't need Baroness Warsi and Jeremy Hunt to fight Her battles? bit.ly/xxVttX
