Dear All
It seems there is a new campaign in Scotland, the campaign
is to remove elected sleazy SNP MSP Mark McDonald from Holyrood, as part of the
you’re not welcome here initiative, there is a possibility that McDonald will
be getting a new office. Sadly for him, it appears that he is to be shunted into
one of Holyrood’s worst. Yesterday, when I was discussing the ‘problem’, I
mentioned an open plan office in the main foyer as a possible solution.
It seems my idea of an open plan in the main foyer or a
suitable broom cupboard has been updated to a notoriously noisy office on the
ground floor of the parliament, from this office McDonald can watch the world
go by. One thing that he might do if he is given this office is buy a pair of
headphones; it appears that Labour MSP Daniel Johnson found the noise so
bad he asked to be moved.
Although unpopular Nicola Sturgeon has led the charge to say
McDonald is welcome, I suppose everyone is waiting for Scottish Green MSP
Patrick Harvie to speak out with condemnation.
Where is Scottish Green MSP Patrick Harvie?
In order to try and put as much clear water between Mark
McDonald and Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP has made it clear to parliament bosses
that they do not want Mr McDonald to return to his office on the fourth floor.
McDonald would be the sandwich between MSPs Kate Forbes and Richard Lyle.
Being an outcast Mark McDonald will be probably eating
alone, sitting alone, and stared at, but hey if you want the £200,000 in wages
you gotta be tough. At the age of 37, his political career is dead, and his
employment prospects would appear to be zero or damn close to it.
As well as politicians making it clear that Mark McDonald
shouldn’t be in Parliament others have joined the ‘call to arms’, Alison Rowat
of Herald Scotland
said:
“As a self-style “independent” MSP. One foot in, one foot
out, doing the hokey-cokey with the rules and there is nothing the Parliament
or his constituents can do about it for now”.
No love there from Alison Rowat.
What Holyrood needs is a shake up, this is because when you
look at the MSPs, you are left with the question, is that it, is this the best
that Scotland has to offer, a bunch of virtual signallers who operate to their
own agendas. Mark McDonald sitting in Holyrood by default could ‘stink’ the
place up, instead of a breath of fresh air, an unhealthy dose of shit to choke
maybe what the place needs.
One thing that interests me is how Alison Rowat completely focuses
on hanging one guilty person out to dry, and does even consider ripping off on
Nicola Sturgeon who shielded McDonald. In the movies, it is important to define
the ‘bad guy’ earlier on, in this case, the other ‘bad guys’ seem to be ignored
as we get the time honoured proposition that this is all about one bad apple.
20% of staff at Holyrood claimed they have been ‘victims’,
so where are the rest of the bad apples?
And who are they?
One thing, I do agree
with is what Labour MSP Rhoda Grant said:
“Mark MacDonald was elected as an SNP member and therefore
has space allocated to him in their offices and on their benches – he should
remain in those spaces. The SNP cannot simply try to foist him off on other
parties.”
Well done Rhoda, Mark McDonald ‘stinking’ up the fourth
floor for the SNP would be entirely delicious, all the po faced buddies giving
him the ‘silent treatment’ led by Nicola Sturgeon, oh to be a fly on the wall.
A Scottish Parliament spokeswoman said:
“Discussions around the practical arrangements for Mark
McDonald's return are currently taking place. This includes a change of room.
These discussions are ongoing and no decision has been taken.”
Now, yesterday, I was subject to Nationalist abuse, of
course this isn’t new in the past I have suffered from this problem before, it
seems the angry cybernat brigade didn’t like my views of the facts that the SNP
had failed to protect food security in Scotland. I was called a ‘prick’ and a ‘fud’
and one keen mind suggested when I said I was busy that I was watching ‘Pornhub’
with a box of tissues masturbating. I was actually doing yesterday’s article
while have a chat with someone at the same time, and trying to juggle that with
a bit of studying.
Yesterday also saw the media praise Mhairi Black for a “powerful
speech” after she took the opportunity to lower the standing of the Westminster
Parliament by using foul language.
During a parliamentary debate on misogyny on the eve of
International Women’s Day, she told MPs:
"I struggle to see any joke in being systematically
called a dyke, a rug-muncher, a slut, a whore, a scruffy bint”.
She added:
"I've been told you can't put lipstick on a pig, let
the dirty bitch each shit and die. I could soften some of this by talking about
the c-word but the reality is there is no softening when you're targeted with
these words and you're left reading them on my screen every day, day in, day
out - she needs a kick in the cunt, guttural cunt, ugly cunt, wee animal cunt;
there is no softening just how sexualised and misogynistic the abuse is."
Mhairi Black also mentioned that she had been contacted by a
man she had never heard of before who told her:
"I've pumped some ugly birds in my time but I just
wouldn't."
What this person is saying is that Ms. Black who is a
lesbian has no SMV; SMV is sexual market value which is talk about by a group
of men who follow something which is called Mgtow.
The premise of MGtow is tell men don’t get married, and ‘pump
and dump’, plus don’t spend a nickel on a woman, also if she has kids stay
clear of her with a bargepole since why play for another man’s kids. There is a
lot more to this movement which is a response to the feminism movement. If Mgtow
appeals to you there is more stuff online to read and watch.
What the guy is saying when he told Ms. Black:
"I've pumped some ugly birds in my time but I just
wouldn't."
This is clearly stating that in his eyes she has no sexual
market value to him, she might think that she is this young dynamic
professional social justice warrior socialist, but it seems many people aren’t
buying it. This coupled with her actions has led many people to despise her
hence she doesn’t get called ‘nice things’.
There is a lot of anger out there in politics, and if I
recall Ms Black wanted people to make a distinction between Mhairi Black the
person and Mhairi Black the politician as if they were two separate things. I
was wondering using her analogy could she make a distinction between Fred West,
the next door neighbour and Fred West, the serial killer who tortured, murdered
and chopped up people?
When Mhairi Black decided not to fight to save the children’s
ward in Paisley, her take was that she wasn’t an MSP, but on election night you
don’t see the returning officer say that ‘And Mhairi Black has been elected by
the people of Paisley to represent them on reserved matters to Westminster’.
This is a difficult piece to write because I want to open up
the debate on something which is clearly a tricky subject to talk about.
When people refer to Mhair Black as ‘cunt’, they are using
what is regional dialect which imparts the proposition that in Scotland , she
is acting stupid. I would therefore suggest that people would dispute her claim
of misogynistic abuse, citing that cunt is equally applicable to both men
and women.
Finally, I am sure that people would want ask Mhairi Black
the question, do you believe in equality, if her answer was yes, then clearly
she is getting it.

First class analysis and cannot say that you missed the target and hit the wall!, Always a good read.
ReplyDeleteWhat strange times we live in, George.
ReplyDeleteHi Aiberdeen
ReplyDeleteI just try to put the mainstream man in the street view.
George
George once again you have hit the big button, as you clearly know the Nats have a very shallow pool of talent to draw upon, hence the disgraceful appearance of the cretins you have referred to in your piece. What is of more concern is the acceptance by the hierarchy of the Nats of the disgraceful behaviour of the majority of their elected members, such as John Mason, Peter Grant, Ian Blackford, Angus B McNeil etc., etc., the list is endless. But the likes of Sturgeon to continue to bury any internal comment or expose/reveal information on crass misbehaviour by the likes of Michelle Thompson and others is grossly disgraceful and against any decent morality in today's political arena. The SNP have degraded politics in Scotland to the extent that the vast majority of the electorate look on with a baleful eye in exasperation! Where will it all end . . . God help us!
ReplyDeletePond Life George that's what they are. It's a pity it's not possible to get wages back from both of them for non attendance at work.
ReplyDeleteHi Freddy
ReplyDeleteMs. Black said she was ill and had a sick note.
George
a powerful article on the demise of the Nats George, well done and keep on blogging mate, you're well read trust me.
ReplyDeleteBOOM!
ReplyDeleteWow, George!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I dropped by, and I had no idea that you were all have so much fun up there, and I only live just across the border! These matters have attracted ZERO attention here, where the media bubble is too busy obsessing about BREXIT, Russians, and Donald Trump!
"There is a lot of anger out there in politics, and if I recall Ms Black wanted people to make a distinction between Mhairi Black the person and Mhairi Black the politician as if they were two separate things.

Classic! That is the sort of gem that dances off the pen of Mark Steyn on a regular basis. Keep up the good work!
Cheers, EC.
PS. I agree, "Cunt!", prefixed or not, when used a pejorative is only very rarely aimed at women.
