Dear All
We are now about a month on since Alex
Salmond, unpopular Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP were defeated by the people of
Scotland.
And what sore losers they are and have
become.
2,001,926 had the sense not to believe the
lies of Salmond and Sturgeon which pumped out that a land of milk and honey was
there for the taking by marking an X in the Yes box.
1,617,989 people which is 44.7% of the
population got sucked into the ‘big lie’.
In the Labour heartlands, the Nationalists
had a hate the English campaign which proved to be most successful in poorer
areas of Scotland such as Glasgow, Dundee, North Lanarkshire and West
Dunbartonshire all voted Yes.
The Yes crowd won only 4 out of 32 areas.
In the SNP heartlands, which might have
been expected to turn out for the SNP, the people decided not to back Salmond
and that was a spectacular failure.
A lot of the lies used were based on
economics and issues tied to it.
As several people and organizations gave
out warnings especially on Oil and its price, Alex Salmond simply dismissed their
opinion as politically-motivated “stuff and nonsense”.
Salmond has a habit of getting it wrong.
The Scottish National Party is a deeply
ignorant party so their bid for independence was always going to fail; it was
seen by many as a bid based on hatred of the English but couch in the language
of “Westminster”.
Well now it is time that the 1,617,989 Yes
people woke up and get back into the world of reality, the reality is that oil prices prove
the financial case for independence was based on false premises.
What you heard screamed in public by Alex
Salmond and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon was rather different to what was being
said in private by John Swinney. Swinney’s briefing to Scottish Cabinet
colleagues warned that falling oil revenues could jeopardise an independent
Scotland’s ability to pay pensions and benefits.
In poor areas, the gullible were sucked in
to believing that their benefits were going to be boosted, the reality is that
their benefits would be getting cut, services would be getting cut, food banks
wouldn’t be ended they would be increasing as would the numbers using them.
There is nothing unusual about people in
parties such as the SNP conning the poor, what is remarkable is that people
still vote for them. Scots need to wake up to the fact that they shouldn’t be
loyal to any party.
Tribalism and cronyism is why nothing gets
done and the poor in Salmond and Sturgeon’s Scotland are no better off.
Alex Salmond and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon
are not going to help the white working class much in the same way as other
parties have let them down badly.
A few Sunday’s ago, I was at George Square
to see what the ‘hope over fear’ rally was about, it isn’t about helping the
poor, it is about helping Tommy Sheridan trying to revamp his image.
Sheridan is playing a role nothing more screaming
about the rich and how independence will continue. Obviously it will continue
as many people have a vested interest and draw a wage out of it.
To return to Oil, the price of Brent crude
oil is hovering at around $86 a barrel.
You might remember Salmond dismissing
anyone who spoke out by him saying that Investment would pour into the North
Sea.
He added:
“Even with a cautious estimate of oil
prices remaining at $113 a barrel, it’s clear that Scottish oil and gas could
generate three times more than official estimates”.
The oil price having
plummeted by 20 per cent since June, so what was Plan B to fix that, why there
was no Plan B, just like there was no other plans, and if Scots had voted Yes,
Salmond couldn’t have turned the country around into an economic powerhouse in
under 18 months.
What does that mean?
In layman terms Salmond and Sturgeon would
have entirely fucked this country and its people, and then blamed the English
because let us get it right, nothing is ever their fault.
People like Alex Salmond and unpopular
Nicola Sturgeon aren’t remotely concerned about the implications of
independence for Scotland or Scots residing within it, if you and your family
suffer that isn’t their problem; it’s yours! Both rich Alex and rich Nicola who
crave out a living ‘standing up for Scotland’ will getting their money first
and all of it. They will tell any lie, ignore all warnings and disparage anyone
who got in their road and stand back as the Nationalist attack dogs smear
people.
So, you can be glad that people like me
came out and fought to save Scotland for a better day. There was never any
chance of the land of milk and honey being given to the poor, the task is to
educate them to that fact.
The referendum changed Scotland but not all
for the better, but one plus is that political parties in the unionist camp are
now under extreme pressure to start to help people. If they don’t change and by
change I don’t mean the name change suggested by the Independent Labour Party mob,
there will be no such thing as ‘heartlands’ anymore.
I still believe that there is room for a
new political party of the centre right which can take votes from everybody, in
2015, the Westminster election will take place, that result should prove
interesting because it may it more noticeable that the new party of Scotland is
needed.
You can't trust Alex Salmond and you can't trust unpopular Nicola Sturgeon, learn the lesson now!

Well said. I was totally astounded at how many so called 'intelligent' people voted for independence. I however, think they were voting with their hearts and didn't use their heads to think about what would happen. Thankfully the biggest percentage weren't fooled by Salmond's rhetoric and Sturgeon's shouting style of politics. Now the next job is to get the SNP out and let's have a Scottish Government that will work for the people living in Scotland and not just against the dreaded 'English'.
I see some snp proles have added their intellect to the argument

Dear Crookie
"I see some snp proles have added their intellect to the argument"
That's what free speech is all about.
They are still at the anger stage at present.
