I thought it was well worth waiting for masel’. In one leap the First Minister of Scotland rose at the back post and heedered the hordes of whinging Scottish Unionista into the bulging net of political obscurity, where, it has to be said, they feel most comfortable, it being their level.
Upon hearing what the First Minister had tae say about the upcoming referendum, in whichever of the two forms that were set out yesterday that it will take, wee Ross McDougal, unable to think quick or improvise (How the cogs ever turned quick enough in that napper for him to form a decision requiring the raising of a flag in a fitbaw match I’ll never know) just stuck tae the same weak lines about ‘pretend’ referendums, even though his argument had just become entirely irrelevant.
Anas Sarwar for the Scottish whatever it is that Labour think they are these days as usual tried tae make it all about us and ‘Nickla’ being nasty to English people simply because we want to be good neighbours rather than being governed by their ultra- privileged elite (I use the word elite loosely).What a complete sell out that kid-on socialist mob is. A total betrayal of working people and not a shameface amongst them.
Then there was that angry guy from the Liberal Democrats. He’s gonnae give himself a heart attack or a hernia that fella. He’s too angry. He was puffing and snorting and dreeping fae the nose like his heid was gonnae explode. He’s worth the watching that yin.
I think we’ve got them a wee bit rattled eh? I love too the way at times like this they all start ranting on about the day job, the major issues, the poverty, the cost of living, austerity (see Brexit for details) and all of the actual important stuff that ordinarily they really arenae that interested in, the stuff that the Scottish Government take seriously every hour of every day as they try to ameliorate the withering impacts of the wildly incompetent and corrupt circus act at Westminster who do nothing other than feather their own nests if they can get away with it.
Like the last referendum the local branch managers of Britannica have all gone personal early, as have the media. Consistently yesterday and today, we hear it is ‘Nicola Sturgeon’s referendum’, like it was Alex Salmond’s referendum the last time. This is a deliberate jape to manipulate the listener, minimising the subject, reducing independence to be about a person, not about us, not about you, the people who have exercised their democratic right to instruct your government to consider the question of your future governance once more.
In the end democracy must prevail. A partnership by consent cannot be maintained if one of those partners refuses to let the other partner exercise its own free will.
One way or the other a referendum we must have. We’ll have to endure a right good dose of Project Fear, wildly spurious anti- independence, pro-British nationalist propaganda first, even more bizarre than last time (because this time they now we will win) but, triumph we shall.
