Dear Hamish
Have you ever heard of the Court of Public
Opinion?
Sadly, it appears you have convicted
yourself.
Was Scotland’s unpopular Deputy First
Minister Nicola Sturgeon ever your lawyer?
If so, ask for a refund, part of her
responsibility is to tell you to think before you say something incredibility
stupid and when in doubt say nothing.
To recap for you here is what you uttered:
You said that you would vote for the Nazis
if they wanted Scottish independence in the moral maze question.
Hamish, the correct answer is No, you
wouldn’t vote for the Nazis if they were in power, didn’t history teach you anything?
So you would be supporting racism,
injustice and inequality.
“But I have sufficient respect for our
neighbours in the present UK to know that the hypothesis is not credible”.
What does it have to do with “our
neighbours”?
Learn to stick to the point.
Also this further answer shows that you
really don’t get it.
“If a bunch of sectarian thugs supported
your football team would you switch your allegiance? No, you would send the
thugs packing?”
Not the same scenario.
“For the record, I have met Alex Salmond once abd Nicola Sturgeon on several occasions. I respect the abilities of both, but I am not a confidant or crony of either”.
“For the record, I have met Alex Salmond once abd Nicola Sturgeon on several occasions. I respect the abilities of both, but I am not a confidant or crony of either”.
You respect Nicola Sturgeon for leaving
Scottish women to die from cancer by not providing the same drugs available to
people in England?
Say whit!
“I am a life-long supporter of the principle of the right of every nation to determine its own affairs”.
“I am a life-long supporter of the principle of the right of every nation to determine its own affairs”.
Does that include Zimbabwe? Rigged
elections and murder are the hall mark for that regime!
So, fail on the moral maze question, fail
on football team scenario and fail on “the principle of the right of every
nation to determine its own affairs”.
All three wrong that is really something
Hamish; and you wonder why independence is on its arse!
An Anon reader has looked at what you said and
decided to post a few well chosen comments, this might upset you.
“Just read Hamish's comment about Nazi's
and he would still voting for Independence.
One of the reason's why the YES campaign can't get above 25 per cent. Complete and utter arsehole. And that's me being kind”.

You see Hamish, there are Nationalists who
agree with the George Laird view, because the George Laird view isn’t a knee
jerk reaction, it is thought-out.
The poster went further:
“I'm really angry that we have arseholes
like him in our movement. We should be attracting voters not panicking them
with attitudes that he has.
FUCK OFF HAMISH YOUR KIND ISN'T WANTED”.
FUCK OFF HAMISH YOUR KIND ISN'T WANTED”.
And to think you have met Alex Salmond and Scotland’s
unpopular Deputy First Minster Nicola Sturgeon.
You couldn’t have failed to
notice that in Ms. Sturgeon’s company that you weren’t in the presence of ‘greatness’
Hamish.
Ms. Sturgeon surrounds herself with trash
and nonentities in order to make her look good.
Nicola Sturgeon looks like the type who someone
has to ‘buy’ friends and allies for her, without her knowledge of course.

Dear George.
You usually report my comments accurately and fairly, but on this occasion tou are putting words in my mouth. I did not say I would vote for the Nazis.
Your hypothesis was that the Nazis were in power in the current UK, pre-independence. All the more reason to leave the Union if that were the case.
WELL SAID MR LAIRD
THERE ARE MANY NATIONALISTS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME VIEW GEORGE
Dear Hamish
“You usually report my comments accurately and fairly, but on this occasion tou are putting words in my mouth. I did not say I would vote for the Nazis”.
I am happy you have decided to public state that you would not vote for the Nazis.
If you remember I asked in the moral maze question:
"If the Nazis got into power and wanted Scottish independence, would you vote for it?"
You replied:
“Yes, of course”.
So, you won’t vote for the Nazis but in the hypothesis you would vote for one of their policies.
I am sure you can understand the confusion because in politics, people claim that if you vote for them then you have signed up to their whole agenda.
“Your hypothesis was that the Nazis were in power in the current UK, pre-independence. All the more reason to leave the Union if that were the case”.
Obviously I was talking about the Scottish setup rather than the current UK, I hope you are not trying to put words into my mouth Hamish?
You will be glad to know that someone has picked up the story.

Apparently my little blog is getting quoted and spread about the place.
And the answer to the moral maze question is still No!

Blinded by romantic notions of Scottish bravery and hooked on Braveheart guys like Hamish will vote for
Independence at any cost.
Voters will come out in droves
if they are given facts, not half
truths or lies, even in "terms of
the debate".
75 per cent of the electorate are now branded traitors ??!! by
folk like Hamish.
Treat voters as intelligent
people not imbeciles. Give us
hard facts, good or bad. All the
assertions all the promises
mean zilch.
Personally I don't care what
Better Together has to say,
most of it is nonsense. But if
the SNP want me to take a
chance on Independence best
way to do it is to state some
cold hard facts. The promise of Nirvana, milk and honey ain't gonny happen.
Grow up Hamish and learn, snake oil salesmen will tell you what you want to hear.
