"Mars is going to crash into Scotland" says Ultravox's Midge Ure

Obviously that's not what he's talking about, but still, I look forward to a Wellesian War of the Worlds-type screaming exodus of Scottish people who've only had half an ear on the radio.

In context it is, if anything, even odder. What Midge seems to be saying is that even if Sir Bob had said "Mars is going to crash into Scotland", it would still have been a symbolic call to stand up and be counted.

Now we see where the Stop the War Coalition have been going wrong all this time. Expect Galloway to team up with Lembit Opik any day now to announce a similar Deep Impact scenario.
