‘War of the Rats’, Scotland’s unpopular SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon uses her first SNP Conference to publicly humiliate Alex Salmond, apparently Salmond has been bumped down to the level of a ‘daftie’, the SNP ‘rat ship’ sailing into troubled waters

Dear All

I have continually said the Scottish National Party is a ‘rat ship’, the idea of loyalty is alien to them; these people are in for themselves. If you do a bit of digging into their backgrounds and family, it is easily proven. The SNP is made up for various little ‘families’ who all share out the paid elected positions and candidacies.

The SNP have one goal; that is independence, which in part explains why they are unable to govern properly, health, education and justice, all a shambles! 

Scotland’s ‘jolly fat man’ Alex Salmond took a massive huff when he was easily defeated in the Scottish independence referendum. It was terribly funny to see him sulk and throw in the towel so quickly. But let us be clear, he and unpopular Nicola Sturgeon represented a danger to the economic security of Scotland and its people.

Salmond had to go!

Out of 32 areas contested, he won 4, 4 out of 32 is a massive snubbing by the Scottish public.

Since the referendum, the ‘defeated man’ of Scottish politics has been looking for a purpose in life, ‘literacy masturbation’ is okay but you can’t do it all day. Anyway Salmond has decided he wants to go back to Westminster as an MP. Alex Salmond loves the limelight, he is an attention seeker, since he won’t get it at Holyrood; he wants a new platform. Since the European Elections have come and gone, the choices were limited.

For four days running, unpopular Nicola Sturgeon has been forced to repeatedly assert that she and not Alex Salmond is in charge of the SNP. Why does Nicola Sturgeon think she is in charge of the Alex Salmond Party or as some described it; the SNP Cult. It is because she was crowned leader when no one else dared to stand against her?

As I said, there is no such thing as loyalty in the SNP; you may remember at every conference Salmond and Sturgeon used to do the hugging and kissing stuff on stage. This was to make people believe every thing was cosy in the ‘rat ship’ and that they were a united party.

Take if from me, the SNP is far from a united party.

  

On the first day of the SNP Conference in Glasgow at the weekend, Sturgeon uses the conference to state she will decide the party's demands, while Salmond does the "day-to-day" work at the Commons.

‘There maybe be trouble ahead, but while there is moonlight….’.

Isn’t it terrible, two utterly false people falling out about who is the ‘Cult leader’?

Sturgeon says if there is a hung parliament after the general election, she leads.

The message from Sturgeon at the ‘cult’ conference is to offer the ‘hand of friendship’ to England, she is playing ‘good cop’ while Salmond is doing the opposite.

‘Good cop/ bad cop’ only works in the movies.

The English already know that Salmond and Sturgeon cannot be trusted, so the attempt to fool them is frankly rather crude stuff indeed.

So, what does the unpopular ‘hand of friendship’ want in return?

This will get a laugh; Sturgeon wants reform of the House of Lords which the SNP say is “indefensible” and the introduction of proportional representation for Commons elections.

On the first issue, the Lords transition is an ongoing process and as to proportional representation, I think we can safely say; she is onto plums, the mainstream parties of Labour and Conservatives will never entertain this idea.

As to the Salmond/ Sturgeon relationship, she says his interventions over the past week have complemented hers, which is the biggest pile of shit I have heard last week. If that was the case, Sturgeon wouldn’t be screaming into ever microphone and news outlet that she is in charge.

The latest attempt to reassert her crumbling leadership came after Salmond undermined her supposed “red line” conditions.

The price for propping up a minority Labour government was said to be scrapping the renewal of Trident.

No chance.

Alex Salmond blurted out SNP MPs would install Ed Miliband in Downing Street even if their demands were ignored.

Two messages both of which are equally worthless, the SNP are irrelevant, it is only a matter of time before people realise that the ‘bubble’ is going to burst, and what is in a bubble?

Just hot air!

While Salmond is guzzling the pink champagne making threats, demands and saying SNP will be a destructive force at Westminster, Sturgeon tact is offering “friendship and solidarity”, May 8^th sees this nonsense end rather spectacularly in failure.

As to Sturgeon saying:

“I’ve got a fairly developed idea in my head of what our tactics and what our objectives will be”, at present according to a poll, Labour is poised to have a majority. If the poll is correct and Labour end up winning with 345 seats, the Nationalists bandwagon hits the buffers.

Although lots of people joined the SNP, the party hasn’t widened it selection of candidates, it is still a wee nasty clique. So, there is no change of direction of any real note. During the independence campaign, business people were concerned about the lack of proper economic plans, this prompted Jim Sillars to say that there would be a ‘day of reckoning’.  

One FTSE 100 chief executive said:

“Their language of intimidation towards business during the (independence) referendum was loathsome.”

Sturgeon’s attempt at ‘cuddly fascism’ will not yield results expected either.

I read online that a senior SNP Activist has apparently experienced the type of hostility that the party experienced 30 years ago. 

Bad news for them as the silent majority it seems don’t want to be silent any longer.

They have a message for Nicola Sturgeon and Co, it is straight forward and uncomplicated….. ‘fuck off’! 

SNP Conference is always a stage managed event as such here will be no dissent, stepping outside the bubble, the SNP will be seeing a different Scotland emerging. Already unpopular Nicola Sturgeon has seen voters march to her office to complain about the Govanhill ghetto. And they will be back as Sturgeon and her wee gang drag their asses with mealy mouth words.

Finally, the thing about anger is that it builds.
