Open letter to Hamish, Scotland’s ‘jolly fat man’ Alex Salmond sees indy support in his own backyard collapse to 17%, I didn’t have a thing to do with it, the people of Scotland are waking up to the fact he cannot be trusted, so why are you upset by the messenger!

Dear Hamish

Do you object to me describing myself as "The real Glaswegian working class voice" in the independence debate?

If so why?

Who would fit the criteria better?

I am a popular Glaswegian blogger, working class, and keep getting it right on Scottish independence.

How about Scotland's unpopular Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon?

She is common, that I grant you, but without the 'common touch', a real problem for her as she is finding out during this independence campaign.

Defeat after defeat followed by impending defeat.

17% for independence in the North and North East, the supposed SNP heartland of Alex Salmond.

Total and utter collapse of support, how do you explain that one?

You still haven't answered the question why aren't you saving the Scottish independence campaign for the SNP?

No idea I take it where to start?

Well you would have to fight on two fronts, Unionist and Salmondism, one is kicking your ass and the other has its head up its own ass with its own self importance, which incidentally isn't much cop.

But to return to some of your points:

"So "The real Glaswegian working class voice" would rather have tuition fees and prescription charges imposed by a Westminster Government".

I never said that, and if you stick around you might find if tuition fees introduced by the Scottish Parliament and also prescription charges at some point.

Does the fact the SNP trotted a few bribes impress you since it is done to get votes?

And less we forget, at top universities the working class isn't there to reflect the make up of society by a long chalk.

What did the Salmond and Sturgeon do to fix this?

Not an awful lot.

"and sneers at the Scottish Cabinet meeting in a church hall, rather than being hosted by a global oil company".

I am pointing out that the supposed 'popularity' isn't as widespread as the SNP would have you believe.

Is that wrong?

Does telling the truth upset you when I say it?

Surely if you don't like reading my blog, then simply don't come back, there you are solutions to problems, it is fairly straight forward for me.

The reason they are meeting in a church hall is because they are trying to sell independence and this is their 'meet the people' routine. That is just as meaningless as meeting in a church hall to decide government issues.

Who are they trying to impress, holding Q&A sessions when you can't get the answers to questions you ask.

It is probably padded out with SNP activists to make up the numbers ..... the clique.

Incidentally as you know they don't give a shit about the people, just their votes.

If you are buying into their con, well good luck to you, who am I to stop you living in ignorance or the 'dream'.

Have you read the story about the Bellegrove doss house in the papers, the SNP keep talking about social justice problems, why have they sat on their arse since 2007?

If only they had the levers of power, .... they would still do fuck all.

Do you see what happens when the SNP cuts Glasgow City Council's budget?

Do you see what happens when Glasgow SNP sits on its arse?

The last leader was a Sturgeon crony devoid of original thought and the new one does it as a part time job.

Tell me in your unqualified opinion who is the people's champion of Glasgow SNP?

Give me a laugh!

Prior to 2012, the council election, the SNP engaged in doing fuck all, and that extended to some of their councillors not being very active, to the extent of not doing a single day for their branches.

"Yours for Scotland".

"Have you ever held down a full-time job, George?"

If the answer is yes, does that mean I have your approval to comment on independence?

If the answer is no, does that mean you don't approve?

Which is it?

I am not giving out any personal details other than what I have listed in the public domain.

"Or are you, as I suspect, a man of independent means?"

Hamish, you aren't a detective, and given you can't seem to get the hang of being Sherlock Holmes, give up while the going is good.

You must be terribly upset by the last few weeks which saw the rubbish spouted by Salmond completely torn apart and shown to be utterly incompetent. Is this sinking in yet, Salmond and Sturgeon are out of their depth.

Not creative enough.

Time for a quote:

"My problem is that I have too many talented people and not enough cabinet positions".

Meeting in a church hall to do a 'cabinet of the people' act, a bit lame when Salmond parks his arse in 5 star hotels.

Did you ever get around to wondering about that £50,000 of taxpayers' money that Salmond isn't prepared to state what it was specifically spent on?

Some hero of the people, do you accept lower middle class as "The real Glaswegian working class voice" in the independence debate?

There is a guy in Pollok SNP who pisses his trousers, IQ of a handball, could he give Nicola stiff competition as a champion of the people?

Finally, I taught at Glasgow University, you will be happy to know that I was considered brilliant and no one ever raised a question about my abilities as a fitness instructor.

In fact I was so good that the gym staff asked my trainees for advice regularly. 

Yours sincerely
