Dear All
As general readers know I am a bit of a blogger in Scotland , so
anyway I was doing my normal thing, know what I saying when up pops someone and
asks me would I like to join a BT Group.
I thought hmmm!
The person said;
‘we know that you don’t need us but we would really like you
to join, and we need you’.
So, I decided to stick my head through the door so to speak
and see the lie of the land. After being welcomed I found that people really
liked my blog and the fact I had done my bit for keeping Scotland in the UK . The next thing I knew people
were asking me to join other groups and give my advice on campaigning.
Apparently I am a team player after all!
One of the other groups which I am not in, but aware of is Scotland
in Union, they are doing research and analysis which is always handy and they
have connections to other people and groups.
The truth being she is a dud!
The tactical voting guide in an ideal world wouldn’t be
needed, it would be everyone for them; but at this juncture in Scottish
history, it is needed, the general election in Scotland has to return the best
placed candidate in each constituency to beat the SNP.
I would strongly urge people to pop along to the Scotland in
Union website and have a read, as well as analysis, there is the bookmakers’
odds for the victor this time. If you want to try and have a punt down the
bookies, the name of the Labour, Tory or Liberal Democrat candidate with the
best chance of beating the Nationalists is highlighted in bold.
As well as Scotland in Union, there is also United Against
Separation (UAS), this is the new kid on the block of political campaigning
which is emerging as a frontrunner in ‘on the ground’ campaigning. UAS is
seeking to unseat Pete Wishart, the SNP MP for Perth
and North Perthshire , using tactical voting.
Pete Wishart must be thinking how did I get so much
attention and heat on my ass?
Well, Pete, have you considered it might be because of
Tasmina Ahmed-Shiekh, a notorious carpetbagger who has been in more political
parties than some people have pairs of shoes?
When you call down the rain, you have also got to deal with
the mud.
United Against Separation (UAS) is a fairly open group, they
have people from all strands of the political spectrum, Labour, Tory, Lib Dem
members as well as people who are not in a political party. In what must be
seen as an extraordinary move, UAS wants people who voted no to back the
Tories. Andrew Skinner, of UAS, told the Dundee Courier it was a “tall order”
to unseat Wishart who is defending a majority of 4,379 but the good news is
that around 60 per cent of voters in Perth
and Kinross rejected independence. And in more bad news of Pete Wishart, Andrew
said the group was “really shocked at the positive reaction we got” in the North Muirton area of the seat.
Politics is a funny old game! I mean who would have thought
a Tory revival in Scotland
would be done by people in the Labour and Lib Dem Parties. As well as UAS
wanting Pete Wishart to get shafted, up pops, Forward Together, they have
been formed in the area to have a crack at Pete Wishart also. The analysis shows
that the Conservative Candidate Alexander Stewart has the best chance of
beating Mr Wishart in Perth and North Perthshire .
Go that Tory!
Personally, I have no ill will to Pete Wishart, if you have
ever heard him ‘standing up for Scotland’ you will be drawn his unintentional
comic touch, I mean who can talk such utter shite, keep a straight face and
look like they believe it. Wishart even said once if I recall correctly that he
wasn’t a ‘Nationalist’, well he isn’t a politician either in my opinion but
that is another matter.
When it comes to Tasmina Ahmed-Shiekh, I will settle for her
not getting elected if given a straight choice between Wishart and Shiekh, she
is a Sturgeon crony or as some SNP describe the clique surrounding Sturgeon, part
of ‘the sisterhood’. Tasmina doesn’t deserve to go to Westminster , just like she didn’t deserve to
go to the European Parliament.
One of the things that needs to be pressed home by all the
parties, is Nicola Sturgeon’s financial incompetent by wanting FFA, (Full
Fiscal Autonomy), people are right to be concerned about the SNP’s plans to cut
all financial ties with the UK. If anyone was dopey enough to give it to them,
the country would be in chaos and unstable, this would also trigger problems in
the rest of the UK
and on the financial markets. Laughingly, it is said that the SNP want Full
Fiscal Autonomy in the ‘good times’ but also a Barnett style ‘get out of jail
free card’ when they mess up.
Maybe someone should tell unpopular Nicola Sturgeon it
doesn’t work that way, its all or nothing.
Back to Pete Wishart who might be seeing the end of his
political career if the wind is blowing in the right direction, he in an act of
sheer desperation said to the press that traditional Labour voters would be
“absolutely appalled” that party supporters are asking them to back the Tories.
Why?
The SNP keep saying there is no difference between Labour
and the Conservatives, is that a lie Pete by the SNP leadership?
And becoming hysterical he called the campaign “bizarre and
poorly thought out.”
Niet Comrade, us, proud Scots have a tradition of putting
political boot to political ass, what has Pete Wishart done for Perth and North
Perthshire, some people say sweet FA, and that is more than enough reason to
give him the heave ho!
Finally, my advice to Pete Wishart if he loses, blame Tasmina
Ahmed-Shiekh, and be quite vocal about it to Dundee SNP, after all, the Hosie
clan might have an eye on moving into Bute House.
Yours sincerely

They don't know the meaning of the word irony george, the fact that he is bleating about it means he knows that campaigning is having an effect. Hopefully he and others will be saying the people have spoken damm them , but i doubt it they will keep on bleating.
At time of writing the "Scotland in Union" website seems to have been taken down.
Could it be that the CyberNats are bit more worried than they're letting on?
P.S. Keep up the good work George! Reading your Blog fair makes ma day!
Tactical voting is definitely the best way forward. It would be brilliant to see a secure SNP MP ousted by a Tory. Only need to get 2,500 people who voted for anyone except Tory / SNP to vote Tory. Even if they eat into his majority that will worry them, since the popularity (so-called) of the SNP can only go one way now.
At the risk of sounding superior, which I'm most definitely not, the majority ( not all ) of SNP supporters are fairly low down in the pecking order for brains. Most probably never payed attention at school. Hardly the calibre of people that can forge ahead with a new Scottish order. You can't run a prosperous country with SNP engineered Islamic immigrants, asylum seekers, indigenous pond life, juicers and heroin addicts for inhabitants. Swinney ain't gonna get much tax uptake from that bunch. Fiscal levers my ass. I reckon many will leave Scotland if the Nats take total control. I know I will. Labour and the Tories have no one else to blame but themselves for the rise to power of the SNP. It's quite frightening that they may actually control our very lives. These people are seriously nuts and must be stopped with tactical voting. This is a really serious issue and much more important than any single political party. I hate the SNP with extreme prejudice. Wishart's mob have done absolutely NOTHING for our wee Perth. Bunch of bastards the lot of them. Vote them out everywhere. You know it makes sense.
A very good peice
Good read - thanks.
