Dear All
It seems that SNP MP Mhairi Black has decided to open up her
heart in an exclusive interview with Mandy Rhodes. The article contains reasons
enough why Mhairi Black shouldn’t be an MP at the Commons; to me the chief
reason is that she basically isn’t interested. I take from her interview that
Black doesn’t understand public service, putting others before herself; I find
her interview to be in some ways a puff piece.
Elected in 2015, we get treated to a tale of how her next
door neighbour was Natalie McGarry, and they used to “hang out the windaes”
chatting like Glasgow
housewives, this begs the question, why weren’t they working. Also some people
have observed that Mhairi Black lived in Ralston which isn’t famous for its
tenements, not in the bit she lived anyway. Of course, we should remember that
her next door neighbour Natalie McGarry didn’t last the course.
It will be a long time in hell before Natalie McGarry,
Nicola Sturgeon’s professed ‘pal’ sees the inside of Westminster again, her
career is gone and not short enough it was too.
Apparently Black has said in relation to Westminster :
“I don’t enjoy it in the slightest. It is over 300 miles
away from my home, it is filled with sociopaths, and if it was any other
building, health and safety would shut it down in a heartbeat.”
She gets elected to one of the best places in the world to
develop her political education and she can’t recognise where she is standing,
and we are supposed to believe that her mind is razor sharp?
Black was elected to Paisley South and that turfed out
Douglas Alexander who was a prominent Labour MP, but that is the nature of
elections, no one has a right to a seat for life. Douglas Alexander held the
seat for 18 years, and if you have been in Paisley
you wouldn’t think this place is nirvana by any means.
One thing that Black acknowledges is that you get different
people in the SNP, you get socialists and you get ‘Conservatives’, the ‘Conservatives’
run the SNP, of course there is a sprinkling of ‘workies’ and pretend ‘workies’
to make the SNP look socialist to the punters, all a sham.
You only have to look at the SNP’s record to see it isn’t a ‘workers’
party, or a party of change or social justice or equality or any of the other
tags they have latched onto to get a voter cache for elections.
One part which has caught people’s attention was the bit
about Alex Salmond giving advice.
Alex Salmond takes her to lunch in the House of Commons after
being elected and thinks a few changes should be made in how she presents
herself. Black said the meeting between them wasn’t entirely comfortable.
She added:
“… I was just sitting chatting away to him and the whole
time I’m thinking, what’s the point of this meant to be – is this a date, do I
need to come out to Alex Salmond? It was fine, really, he was just giving me
tips here and there and then he says, ‘I’m sure Taz [Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh, then
a fellow SNP MP] will take you out to go shopping or something at some point
and you’ll find your own style’. He then said that the last time he’d had this
conversation it was with a young woman called Nicola Sturgeon”.
Nicola Sturgeon was famous for being what the press termed a
nippy sweetie which has been upgraded by a BBC comedy team to ‘horrible cow’,
horrible cow is after the makeover, not before.
Like can be cruel sometimes, especially when so many people
think ‘horrible cow’, don’t you think but one wonders, what ‘fashion’ Tasmina
Ahmed-Shiekh would have picked out for Black who looks as feminine as a Russian
ship yard worker and with a voice as rough as a badger’s arse.
In the end, Black thought:
“I am never going to be told how to dress, especially by a
man.”
Oh touchy……. I am sure members of the LGBT community doing
fashion will be upset by this comment!
On the issue of lack of help, Mhairi Black echoed some
things I said about the SNP, basically they don’t, the attitude by those in
charge; is to pap their shit off onto someone else and expect them to do it.
The SNP apparently run a mentoring service but the truth is; its shite, Black
got Fiona Hyslop who was as much use as a chocolate teapot.
In the past, I blogged on Nicola Sturgeon at Pollok SNP
social nights, basically Nicola Sturgeon would turn up, chat for a bit, then do
a speech and shortly afterwards disappear as fast as possible. I always tended
to think that she wanted to ‘get the hell out of Dodge’, and Pollok SNP wasn’t
full of people that you would want to socialise with anyway. So, I am not
surprised that Black said that she didn’t have a close relationship with
Sturgeon, I doubt that anyone has a close relationship with Sturgeon because
Sturgeon isn’t likeable or a people person. Of course the SNP spent ages trying
to paint Sturgeon as a ‘caring person’ which to me was a ploy on the gullible
for votes.
Black added:
“I think things should change and that it might be an idea
for Nicola to take the time to talk to folk or whatever but I hope that someone
else further down the line does have a different experience to me”.
Has Black passed through the Allison Hunter
Training School
The daughter is just as useless as the mother.
Much has been made about Mhairi Black’s extremely poor voting
record, so as well as opening up her heart, we get treated to the fact she has
opened up her ‘rear end’ due to the novovirus and bugs she has caught in travelling
back and forth to deepest darkness London. One wonders has she heard of washing your
hands before she eats her food!
Also as she misses the Scottish water, buy bottled.
Finally, Black said
“I am absolutely buzzing to get home from London , not just for family, but for
professional reasons as well – you can’t represent somewhere well if you’re
never in it”.
Then she said:
“I’m tired of sitting in surgeries”.
To me this sounds like mixed messages and someone who really
doesn’t want to be doing public service, maybe instead of Westminster she should opt to try for
Holyrood, clearly her social life is more important.

She isn't cut out for this. She should "go off hame tae think again" as the song says.
Hi Al C
As I mentioned, since she doesn't like travel, perhaps Holyrood is more her speed, home by tea time.

If the Labour party can put a decent candidate in like Paul Sweeney is in Glasgow Noryh East she will be consigned to the dustbin of history George.
She looks like she needs a good wash
she is only interested in furthering her own agenda of grudge and grievance.
If she does pack it in she has no chance of getting the part time job in the chip shop that’s been taken.
Let me see, Ms Black is a self proclaimed 'Socialist' in a party of 'Nationalists, can anyone tell me when was the last time these ideologies were combined in a political party and how it worked out?
She has no chance of getting her old job back as part time in a chip shop the people of paisley have had sussed her out😂
