Dear All
It seems the SNP still after losing the independence
referendum, the Brexit referendum, becoming a minority government and losing 21
MPs at the last General Election still don’t get it.
The SNP is now irrelevant!
Isn’t rather sad that Nicola Sturgeon and her cohorts still
think they are a force to be reckoned with, they are on a downward spiral of
decline, people are abandoning ship, the jig is up, the game’s over, the party
is over.
So, now we have down the line the SNP condemning the failure
of every other party to attend Westminster ’s
Scottish Affairs Committee. At present the committee is holding an inquiry into
immigration which is meaningless. The SNP want control of immigration in Scotland which they won’t get, the UK needs a unified policy in the UK , one policy, what is not need is a highway
into England
via an SNP open door immigration system.
During the Scottish independence debate, the SNP said that
they would flood Scotland
with immigrants to the tune of one million people. This would have seen the collapse
of our public services, housing and medical provision under strain now would be
in severe chaos.
Having not turned up in Kirkcaldy, the SNP decided to
complain saying that “spoke volumes” about the priorities of Labour, the
Conservatives and LibDems MPs after not one went to a special session
in Kirkcaldy. Those absent were Tories David Duguid, John Lamont, Paul
Masterton and Ross Thomson, Labour’s Hugh Gaffney, Ged Killen and Danielle
Rowley, and LibDem Christine Jardine.
Kirkcaldy is on the east coast of Scotland , I have been there once,
it was on a works bus run decades ago, there isn’t much to recommend in
Kirkcaldy.
There is a shopping centre called the Mercat which is next
door to a swimming pool, if you are used to the ‘big city’, this place will be
a culture shock! According to stats, Kirkcaldy is said to a high unemployment rate,
so it is highly unlikely that they will welcome with open arms extra
immigration into the town of low skilled people. It speaks volumes about why
the SNP picked this place to visit, other than political hacks who would be
interested in a Westminster ’s
Scottish Affairs Committee visit.
Even if they called it as ‘special session’!
Four Conservatives, a LibDem and three Labour members missed
the event, leaving SNP chair Pete Wishart and SNP MPs Tommy Sheppard and Deidre
Brock to question witnesses. Imagine the rather dull thud and lack of excitement
for the witnesses being questioned by SNP ‘bangers’!
Deidre Brock said:
“This was an important meeting and the failure of MPs from
the Scottish Tories, Labour and Lib Dems to even show up speaks volumes about
their priorities. I appreciate MPs face diary constraints, but Brexit is the
biggest issue facing Scotland ,
and poses a huge risk to the Scottish economy. We heard from people who have
come to Scotland to work,
live and contribute to our society, and the human impact the UK government’s
Brexit chaos is having. These committee hearings are important to inform our
work.”
Lib Dem Christine Jardine said:
“I was disappointed to miss the meeting which is one of a
series I have attended around Scotland ,
but unfortunately I had other constituency and Westminster related issues.”
A Labour spokesperson said:
“The Scottish Labour members of the Scottish Affairs
Committee were unable to attend a hearing in Kirkcaldy due to diary commitments
and Parliamentary business. This is a long-running inquiry. There have been
five previous sessions on immigration and Scottish Labour members have been
fully engaged in the work of the committee. It is disappointing that once again
the SNP has taken such a partisan approach by seeking to score political
points, when the spirit of this committee is to work in partnership for the
interests of the people of Scotland .”
The Scottish Affairs Committee is said to be gathering
evidence on how Brexit would affect migrants, given that Brexit talks
are still ongoing, the ‘expert’ evidence isn’t evidence at all, it is just opinion.
And having seen close up how political
parties question experts, I doubt the capability of the SNP to extract any
credible information.
Finally by accident, it seems that the SNP have been left
hanging and having no one else to shield their stupidity have decided to scream
long and loud, it seems that the SNP need Unionist MPs in order to have status.
Imagine being questioned by three SNP MPs, you have to feel sorry for the Fife
Migrant Forum, the National Farmers Union, Cosla, and Highlands & Islands
Enterprise.
Mind you there is a ‘baguette express’ at 9 Whytecauseway,
hopefully they got expenses, lunch on the beach and thinking happy thoughts!
Yours sincerely

Under Thatcher the unemployed were called the ‘unemployed’ Under Lie@bour they were called ‘scroungers’ In Scotland 2018, we don’t have any unemployed scroungers. Our unemployed no longer exist. The SNP prefer the term the ‘unemployable’ any one low-skilled and over 45: bad luck. Benefit sanctions and food banks their future. A whole generation of Scots being lead up the garden path by little Pot Bellied Noddy.
ReplyDeleteYesterday Kranky wanted more immigrants, today unemployment rises. When Kranky finally she steps down or gets sacked. She will be remembered as the female Blair, a detested politician, liar and fake.

ReplyDeleteYou write 'Yesterday Kranky wanted more immigrants, today unemployment rises.
Maybe on the SNP's part it was just bad timing, or maybe they don't care. She dosn't give a monkeys fuck...more like.
