Dear All
Jingo bells jingo bells, jingle all the way, it is that time
of year, it is getting near Xmas, a time for politicians to do the traditional
stunts of ‘caring’ for the homeless and disadvantaged, it is time to get that
much needed ‘photo op’ standing beside someone poor!
The poor are useful to politicians in several ways, either
as a stick to beat the current government or as a way of saving money since
they shy away from taxing the rich who avoid paying tax, plus there is the
added bonus of using them to get elected. Once upon a time, in a land far, far
away, SNP MP Mhairi Black did a ‘stint’ of helping the homeless.
In a speech, she highlighted one man who didn’t eat or drink
for five days to afford to pay the bus fare to the job centre. Well, this is
either a lie or this person is one dumb bastard, you see there are places to
eat for free in Glasgow, such as LHM at the Barras, the Glasgow City Mission
and at Cadogan Street, there are even roving soup kitchens in Glasgow now where
people go to the places where people rough sleep to give them hot food.
Having got elected, why didn’t SNP MP Mhairi Black come back
to continue to help at Glasgow City Mission?
I don’t know, I am just asking the question!
Having used the people, they were now surplus to her
requirements, it seems ‘caring’ is only for Xmas or getting ‘elected’ because
it is important to tick the box that ‘you know what the conditions are like for
the poor’, but the reality is Mhairi Black knows nothing about the poor.
SNP MP Mhairi Black is just another SNP politician using
people, I can’t take this middle class clown seriously as she plays at being
working class, it is to me offensive; her act is like watching a monkey at a
chimp’s tea party.
SNP MP Mhairi Black is a career politician, nothing more.
It seems that what is good for Mhairi Black is good enough
for her boss, the fake and charmless hypocrite Nicola Sturgeon who has no
problem being shacked up in Bute House or indeed a five star hotel. That being
the case, it seems that others have seen through Nicola Sturgeon as she was
rightly heckled by the poor as she announces new action on homelessness.
Visiting a homeless shelter was another opportunity to try and foster her ‘mother
of the nation’ but it seems that the shelter’s customers weren’t having it as
Sturgeon wanted her photo op.
One brave homeless woman, who was bundled away by shelter
staff, as she called out:
“This is all publicity. The minute they go away this will
all disappear and it will be back to we get nothing, again."
There is now an ‘industry’ of professional helpers who get the
funding such as Edinburgh’s Streetwork homelessness charity; presumably
the SNP thought a few poor people hanging about would increase the credibility
value of Nicola Sturgeon, but that turned sour as she was met with shouts of
“publicity stunt”.
Since Nicola Sturgeon has effectively abandoned Govanhill to
its fate, child prostitution, slum housing, place looking like a favela or
midden, and rampant crime, and landlords screwing the poor out of their cash,
what the hell is Nicola Sturgeon doing hanging around the poor?
It is over three weeks plus till xmas!!!!!!!
After being called out for the fake she is, Sturgeon said it
was “absolutely understandable and legitimate” if some homeless people were
sceptical of the SNP Government’s commitment.
She added:
“But the recommendations we are talking about today haven’t
come from Government, they’ve not been dreamt up by us. We asked a group of
experts to come together – not to look at something in the long term, but to
look firstly at what can be done this winter. And that’s what we’re talking
about today. And then, we’ll look in more detail at what we can do longer term.
So there’s a determination and a seriousness of intent and additional
investment behind this. But rather than stand here today and seek to persuade
with words those in these predicaments who are understandably sceptical, I
think what I want to do is prove it through the actions we’ve taken.”
The key part of what Sturgeon said to take note of is:
“they’ve (recommendations) not been dreamt up by us.”
I never doubted that the SNP would dream any ideas of how to
help the poor, I just accept that as a given, unless there was an election in
the offing for Westminster, the use of the foodbank gag in 2015 was quite
noticeable, especially in Glasgow South West/ Pollok.
Isn’t it refreshing that poor people managed to heckle
Nicola Sturgeon and the rest of us plebs get to hear about it, of course the
poor were bundled away immediately but the damage was done, it is time the SNP
stopped using the poor as their political plaything, people really are sick of
it.
Finally, this pathetic attempt to turn Nicola Sturgeon into
the ‘mother of the nation’ is really insulting to the intelligence, she really
is a quite despicable individual without an ounce of human compassion or humanity; she is a ‘user of people’.

info for me. And i am happy reading your article. But want
to commentary on some common things, The website taste is
ideal, the articles is in point of fact great : D.
Just right job, cheers
STURGEON IS A DOWN RIGHT HYPOCRITE
ONLY APPEARS FOR PHOTOS &VOTES DON'T BE FOOLED
Sturgeon needs to go, along with her plants in Holyrood. First Ministers questions are a joke as her MPs won't say or do anything to defend or get any help for they're constituents for fear of upsetting her and losing favour. NO MORE powers as she cannot cope with ones she has now, until we see clothes allowance and cash she's spending on herself for her vanity trip then she's not fit for office. A few years time she'll be called out and we'll find out what they've done in the ten years, they had in power when we get a new government in charge and then she'll be shamed and jailed for corruption and theft. Nicola, hen you're a failure, freeloading old tramp who uses everyone elses money, blames everyone else for you're total incompetence and will be gone soon!!! #Parasite #Leech
Completely understandable these people are totally livid. Not only were they conned, but have been treated with total contempt by these disgusting bastards & they will never forget it. The increase in the tory vote in some of Scotlands poorer areas proves how desperate these people have become!
As for the "team of experts" comment....I cannot believe people still fall for this shite. Notice how theyre never named. Is anonymity something you automatically get once you qualify as one of these "experts"??? Experts in sticking their snouts in the trough along with people like sturgeon maybe, but not much else. We hear this garbage constantly from the media, particularly the bbc. Experts say this, an expert said that,...all utter garbage & nonsense without any evidence or confirmation, & is only done in an attempt to give credence to these lying bastards. They are nothing more than government funded stooges if they even exist at all...
That treacherous,useless, GROSSLY OVERPAID wench should be SACKED, along with the rest of THE RATSHIP.
"I can’t take this middle class clown seriously as she plays at being working class, it is to me offensive"
That's one of the big and glaring problems of the left. Say what you like about the right, but at least the right are honest enough to not pretend to care about the poor. Mock the Week on the BBC purports itself to be "left-wing" and yet the presenters rip on the young because they're (we're) skint. And last year when the electorate said "enough is enough" and rebelled, they had the nerve to ask why they were voting "against your own interests".
Sturgeon, Black and the SNP are textbook examples of this nonsense, and I'm starting to think that she and her clique are a symptom of a problem rather than the main cause. Mainly that the left and political classes are totally out of touch, and don't seem to be smart enough to learn from their mistakes.
My local mp & msp do exactly the same thing with food banks.
Picture in the local paper but you never see them really helping by standing in the cold like the real volunteers do at Tesco & Morrisons.
Just another photo op for them.
Glad to hear others have the same opinion as myself, well done to the write of this article :-)
