Dear All
Isn't terribly uncanny that sooner or later everyone comes
around to the George Laird view?
Sir Malcolm Rifkind said recently that Alex Salmond is not a
“statesman”, not that I and Rifkind have anything in common more or less, but
on this issue, we seem to be thinking along the same lines.
Alex Salmond is certainly not a statesman.
Salmond's whole approach to independence from the start was
entirely wrong; everything which could go wrong was done wrong. Some people
might think the rot started at the 'Declaration of Cineworld'.
It didn't!
Well before that event, the seeds of disaster were sown,
'Cineworld' was just a showcase that the Scottish National Party is run as a
clique, okay I accept the Scottish Greens and the SSP were there, but they were
just window dressing.
Just making up the numbers!
The technical term is cannon fodder.
Both the Scottish Greens and the SSP probably see this as a
vehicle to win support and increase their appeal. Although Patrick Harvie has
done well for the Greens in interviews, TV, radio and various debates and
panels, it is doubtful, we will be seeing many more Green MSPs anytime soon.
The SSP lead by Colin Fox, well, they are just fucked as a
political party, you might as well scrap the entire organisation as being toxic
as a political entity. Tommy Sheridan not only managed to wipe them out but
also his own party called Solidarity as well. Sheridan at present is working on his
resurrection using the independence referendum as a vehicle.
Jesus did a resurrection, Tommy Sheridan won't.
Time for a quote:
"Rather than the A Team, the party rather looked like
the GAY Team in nature".
George Laird.
In the not too distant future, Scotland 's 'jolly fat man' Alex
Salmond will face off against Alistair Darling in a debate.
Rather than build up Alistair Darling as a worthy foe, the
SNP MP Pete Wishart decided to tweet that Alistair Darling was only a back
bench MP. Pete isn't one of life thinkers, a just a clumsy attempt at passive
smearing; and how ungrateful considering Mr. Darling is attempting to save Mr.
Wishart's job at Westminster .
On the serious issues of defence, the Scottish National
Party has been woeful, although the SNP did a U turn on Nato, they couldn't get
their heads round that Faslane needed to remain as a nuclear sub base.
President Obama said it would be better if Scotland remained part of the UK , previouly
our American cousins were neutral, saying Faslane would remain a nuclear base
would have probably kept the Americans neutral.
Salmond and his unpopular Deputy First Minister Nicola
Sturgeon don't do 'big politics' well, actually both are rather poor on the
world stage, no one who is a credible world leader is backing them. Even the
Chinese Government, the Chinese Government could bring themselves to back
Salmond and Sturgeon. Mind you they have a rather big diplomatic branch so they
would know that the SNP leaders are a joke.
To return to Nato, which I am a supporter of, even before I
was a supporter of the EU, Malcolm Rifkind said SNP claims that Nato would need
to accept Scotland as an independent country were unconvincing. The
alliance has rules and protocols regarding nuclear weapons which the SNP think
is open to debate. How Salmond and Sturgeon thought they could change the rules
and still be allowed in is a mystery unto them.
Sir Malcolm also cited that Nato does not appear to needIreland , Sweden
or Finland ,
all of whom are outside it. And the truth is that they don't, that said, Nato
would be receptive if these countries needed help. And it is highly unlikely
that Putin would blunder in there as he did in the Ukraine
which has been a political public relations disaster for Russia .
Sir Malcolm also cited that Nato does not appear to need
Speaking to the Farmers Club in Edinburgh Sir
Malcolm, who was a former Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary also went on
to claim Scotland faces “several years” outside the EU.
Article 49, anyone wishing to be a new member must apply and
be subject to the rules and regulations plus members have a veto. The matter is
straight forward contract law, Scotland
doesn't have a contract and leaving the UK means leaving the EU. the SNP
leaders tried to mislead the Scottish public by saying automatic membership and
some guff about fish off the Scottish coast as sweetener.
Another disaster touched on by Rifkind was the failure to spell
out his currency plan B in the face of Westminster opposition to a
deal on sharing the pound; that was entirely Alex Salmond's fault. He and
Sturgeon done no work at all to prepare Scotland for an independence bid, two
buffoons who want to play at part time politics raking in ministerial salaries.
Sir Malcolm added:
“Scotland
needs a statesman at its helm more than ever at this moment of great historic
importance.”
Scots have a 'jolly fat man' who thinks he is popular when
it was down to a five years council tax freeze!
In reply to be found out as a bunch of buffoons, a Scottish Government spokesman said:
In reply to be found out as a bunch of buffoons, a Scottish Government spokesman said:
“If Scotland
were an independent country, EU rules mean that our farmers would have
received a 1 billion euro (£800million) bonus in support".
That statement is only true if Scotland was a EU member and
the same conditions existed if it was accepted.
This isn't a fact the Scottish Government is stating but it
is just an opinion.
Alex Salmond is not a statesman, this is more and more being brought to the fore As to unpopular Nicola Sturgeon, she decided to play the role of a 'concerned citizen', that like the 'jolly fat man' role used by Salmond is also an act.

How many Scottish people died of cancer because they
couldn't get the same cancer drugs available in England Nicola?
Nicola 'cares', but not enough to do her job! Nicola
Sturgeon isn't a 'statesman' either, she completely lacks class, vision and
stature. As to her 'I'm a civic Nationalist', that is just pathetic, she
doesn't support Scots have control of their own country, what kind of
independence is that? What gets me is the mugs; that's right, mugs who follow
behind her are stupid enough to think she is leading them to freedom.
If you want to see what Sturgeon thinks of democracy, then
type in SNP Vote Rigging, then take their names and type in Alex Salmond and Nicola
Sturgeon to see if they are connected.
This to me is a clear example that Alex Salmond and
unpopular Nicola Sturgeon aren't statesmanlike in even the crudest description
of the term.
Wouldn't say I am a fan of Sir Malcolm Rifkind but well done
that man on getting it right, the George Laird view prevails, mind you it took
him long enough.
Yours sincerely
