Scottish independence: Scotland’s unpopular Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon dramatically loses the Shettleston by-election, massacre in East end of Glasgow is another humiliating episode as SNP meltdown continues unabated, where’s the A Team Nicola?



















Dear All

Yesterday, I got another article published on Think Scotland; it was a riposte to an article done by Amy Lockett, just a bit of fun to pass the time.

Now, let’s get back to politics, Scotland’s unpopular Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has lost the Shettleston by-election.

The SNP yet again threw everything including the kitchen sink to attempt to shore up Nicola Sturgeon’s crumbling leadership of Glasgow SNP which is in meltdown.

Much like her failed and ultimately doom independence campaign.

You see unpopular Nicola isn't bright enough.

If she is to learn anything from this latest epic defeat, it is that by surrounding herself with cretins to secure her position, it weakens the entire Nationalist movement. The latest ‘wheeze’ of sticking up young female candidates has rather fallen flat on its face; the best candidate is always the best candidate. Sadly, it appears that Nationalists are still sensitive about Nicola Sturgeon’s pal and comrade who is doing 12 months in prison for smashing in the faces of women.

Nicola still hasn’t visited ex SNP MSP Bill Walker in prison, what price friendship Nicola?

As to the winner, that was the Labour Candidate Martin Neill, he had a slick well oiled campaign on the ground.

The reason for the by-election was the sad death of George Ryan who was only 51 when he passed away, too young for anyone.

The result is another indication that independence is off.

Martin Neill secured enough votes to win in the first round that number was 2026 votes.

The second place was Laura Doherty who only managed 1086 despite having a massive SNP presence on the ground.

Third place went to Raymond McCrae, he pulled in a reasonable 226 votes, however, in an area where there are many affluent people I would have expected more, his vote was on a par with the Govan result of Richard Sullivan.

Obviously the Conservatives need to go back to the drawing board again, they seemed to have put in a decent effort on the ground, but still they cannot seem to make any real headway.

So that is the one two three of it.

The full result is  

Charles Baillie
Britannia   31
Tommy Ball
SSP            35
Jamie Cocozza                              
Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist coalition     68  
Laura Doherty
Scottish National Party         1086
Alasdair Duke                                
Scottish Green Party     41
John Flanagan                                
No Bedroom Tax            50
Raymond McCrae                        
Conservative and Unionist Party   226
Victor Murphy                              
Scottish Christian Party      34
Martin Neill                                     
Scottish Labour   2026
James Speirs                                   
Scottish Liberal Democrats     53
Arthur Misty Thackeray                   
UKIP         129                 
James Trolland                                
Scottish Democratic Alliance      6

I haven’t commented on the Shettleston by-election as readers know because a bigot was standing called Tommy Ball.

It is with great delight that I can say he achieved 35 votes!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!  

35 votes!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!  

When I stood for election, I had a full blown Nationalist hate campaign against me, no money, no resources and no real help, my two mates did canvassing for me, my campaign ran for 18 days, 10 days leafleting, 7 days canvassing and polling day. I wasn’t asked to attend any hustings.

Tommy Ball on the other had ‘campaign breakfast’ meetings, moral support of an entire political party, campaign teams on the ground and was invited to hustings.

And despite all of that he managed to achieve 35 votes!

The SSP have to learn the lesson of never again picking a lying Nationalist bigot!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

So another desperate and humiliating defeat for unpopular Nicola Sturgeon in her own backyard of the East end of Glasgow, and one of her former attack dogs Tommy Ball well and truly humiliated into the bargain!

I got 103 votes all by myself and Tommy Ball got 35 votes with an entire political party in his corner.

It is looking more and more like Xmas all the time.

Yours sincerely

UKIP got more than the SSP and your right about them. Grasping on the Independence tail. But I expect they'll make foolish demands just before the referendum vote and that will be the coup de grace for them.
The SNP have forgotten their roots. Fractions within are now making their own demands and getting bolder. All before any real solid power. I predict massive splits after they're core policy is thrown out with a massive majority.

Hope Alex gets a calculator for Christmas .

Dear Anon

If Alex gets a calculator hopefully it will be one with solar power function to work on his Green Credentials.

The SSP sadly had a very poor candidate, a lying Nationalst bigot who was just delivered leaflets while at Pollok SNP.

Not a thinker.

Apparently an SNP Councillor said that it was a pity me and Tommy Ball didn't go head to head.

Where's the challenge for me?

Tommy Ball had a whole political party helping him.

35 votes!

SNP still trying to get out of the shadow of Niciola Sturgeon's pal Bill Walker smashing in women's face by selecting women.

They have lost the wummin's vote.

Scotland's unpopular DFM Nicola Sturgeon lost badly here, the SNP meltdown continues.
