Dear All
Alex Salmond and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon
lost the Scottish independence referendum; it was the political highlight of
the year.
On Twitter, fat Natalie McGarry said to Labour
Councillor Stephen Curran:
“A certain George Laird was at count on a Better
Together ticket”.
This was an utter lie by Natalie McGarry, I
never asked Better Together for a ticket, and they didn’t offer.
As I previously said fat Natalie McGarry is
publicly unelectable, this demonstrates this as much has her imploding the SNP vote
in Cowdenbeath by-election.
Fat Natalie McGarry added previously:
“If you care about misogyny, here is a
fact. @UK_Together gave a ticket
to Glasgow count to a man criticising my looks. Disgusting”.
To be blunt, fat Natalie McGarry tried to
pass off a nasty vicious hate account on Twitter set up by someone she knows as
mine and linked it to my blog in a tweet so, I am not interested in her
fake outrage or her opinion.
It isn’t misogyny to state a person is fat
since men can be fat as well as women I like to chucking facts about.
Natalie McGarry has used the misogyny tag
before to label others, something of a habit it appears.
A lack of original thinking by Fat Natalie
McGarry, crying ‘wolf’ yet again, when she should be crying ‘weightwatchers’!
On the other side of the political
spectrum, David Cameron has challenged the Conservatives to use independence victory
as a springboard for the party to make a comeback in Scotland.
Currently there is one Conservative MP in
Scotland called David Mundell. You could say that the other parties have
crowded out the market leaving getting a Conservative elected as a rather tough
challenge indeed.
Akin to a miracle!
David Cameron says he wants more Tory MPs
from Scotland as things might get a bit tight down the road with the rise of
Ukip who are expected to take seats and certainly votes from all parties.
There are 28 areas in Scotland that voted
No; although that sounds a lot they are mostly
Labour. That being said the Labour Party at
present has its own problems coming down the track in certain areas. There are
also areas where Tories had done well in the past, but the SNP have taken the
seats such as in sunny Perth.
Scotland has consistently refused to send
Tory MPs to Westminster and judging by recent events and announcements by them
regarding social policies, it is highly unlikely they will be changing their
fortunes anytime soon.
The Prime Minister said:
“Let’s just say now loudly and proudly it
was the right call. We saved our United Kingdom and we should be proud.”
Actually, it was more like having bought
some time rather than a decisive victory.
Ruth Davidson speaking earlier said the
Scottish Conservatives had “sometimes let the side down”.
“Sometimes”!
30 years is more than just sometime in my
opinion, although she claimed the party had emerged stronger from the
referendum, it should be pointed out the Tories had covered their own areas,
you can see that by using twitter to look at their selfies.
If they want to win seats, they need to go
forth into working class areas and win over the working class, that might be
unobtainable given new measures being trailed by Iain Duncan Smith such as
‘smart cards’.
Quite simply, I would expect a hardening of
the anti Tory vote unless the Conservatives change course drastically, Iain
Duncan Smith needs to be removed and replaced as Secretary
of State for Work and Pensions.
He has failed to deliver a more equal
society or provide social mobility to people; his new ideas make the problem
worse. He is trapping people into poverty forever; he hasn’t the will or vision
to help them get out from under.
Many people think we care looking at
another hung parliament in 2015.
At the Scottish event Cameron told the
packed reception that “we have a huge political opportunity here.”
Maybe someone should sit him down in an
empty room and explain the facts of Scottish life to him.
The Prime Minister added:
“We’ve
got people who’ve been hardened in the battle on the streets and campaigning
and we’ve got some targets in our sights. I think some of those seats whether
in the Lowlands of Scotland, whether in the Highlands of Scotland, whether in
Fife, whether in Argyll, whether in Aberdeenshire, whether in Perthshire. We’ve
got the people, we’ve got the message, we’ve got the leader. Now I think we can
really turn the next 200 days into the opportunity to deliver more Conservative
seats in the Westminster parliament for Scotland.
To loud applause, he concluded:
“That should be our aim, that should be our
goal and please, my friends, let’s do everything we can to bring that about.”
Well, they better go find someone who can do
miracles or they will find themselves with their political trousers down at
their ankles taking it up the political arse just as Alex Salmond did in the
early hours of the 19th September.
Post defeat, the Scottish Conservatives
have to realise that the political landscape of Scotland has changed. It isn’t
business as usual just as it isn’t business as usual down in England with Ukip
on the rise.
Unless the Scottish Conservatives can start
to have mass appeal to the working class, then their situation will get worse,
at present there is hype over the referendum result and celebration but it
could all turn rather sour very quickly.
Social policies being trotted out at
present by Iain Duncan Smith will further add to the demise of the Scottish
Conservatives, it is like throwing petrol on a fire. It is doubtful that Ruth
Davidson will protest them or even speak out, in the event of that; people will
start listening to other voices.
David Cameron says he went through the
longest night of his life regarding the referendum; guess what, he will be well
prepared for the second longest night of his life sooner than he thinks
regarding Scotland.
Alex Salmond and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon
got rejected not independence, something to chew on in Number 10.

Your right George. It was the hamfisted amateurish Snp version of Independence that voters rejected. If a proper plan had been put in place it would have been a canter.
what's your predictions for UK General Election in 2015 George? Both here in Scotland and UK wide. I predict Labour and Tories to be neck and neck on seats in Westminster, and the SNP to gain 10 seats from Labour in Scotland.
Dear J F
Too early to tell, things needs to settle down after indyref.
Both sides of the border may have upsets, SNP and Ukip for different reasons politically.
Lots of factors are too fluid which confuses the picture at present.

George,
Would you say that the legally illiterate rant posted above is an indicator of the level of legal advice avaiable to Salmond and his rat crew.
Cheers

Dear Terry
We have entered the time of the petted lip by Alex Salmond.
He has lost the plot, took the huff and doesn't want to be remembered as the man who lost indy.
2 million plus people shagged him up the political ass on the 18th September.
How does anyone come back from that, and now unpopular Sturgeon is going to be getting his salary when she starts the 'reign of hell'.
Yours sincerely
