Better Together? It's a cruel and malicious joke!

I would like you all to contemplate what we are very likely to be facing following the next UK general election. Nigel Farage has just been selected as the Parliamentary candidate for his constituency. As he is already the MEP for that constituency he will almost certainly win. Boris Johnson is fully expected to be selected as candidate for a London constituency and it is certain that he will win. UKIP is also expected to win a goodly handful of seats, especially at the expense of the Lib Dems, so, we are looking at the very realistic prospect of a Tory/UKIP coalition government with Nigel Farage gaining a position in government.

However, even if, in the unlikely case, Labour win the election, we are looking at Ed Miliband as Prime Minister with Ed Balls as Chancellor. Balls has already committed Labour to implement all of the proposed cuts that Osborne has announced for after the election, so electing Labour will not make one jot of difference for either living standards or jobs. Miliband has frequently told us that he has no time for the trades unions and has no intention of reversing any of the Tories anti-employment rights legislation. Nor will he support workers in any form of industrial action, that is his words.

The Tories are planning ever more draconian 'anti-terrorist' legislation which Labour has denounced as not enough. I will remind you that the bulk of the present terrorist laws are applied, not against terrorists, but against British citizens lawfully protesting against injustice. Thus, lawful protest is being increasingly likened to terrorism and this has the support of all Westminster MPs, and, if I may remind you, Boris Johnson is purchasing water cannons for use against the British people in our streets.

I have asked you before to take a minute and read UKIP's policies. This is as close to fascism as you will get without actually calling it that. I told you how Boris wants to change the law to remove the presumption of innocence for people travelling to the Middle East and if you think that this will not be extended to cover all of us then you need to waken up. Do not simply dismiss this proposal saying that it will never happen. I remind you again, this creature will become a Prime Minister and may well be in coalition with Farage and his crew.

It is imperative that Scotland gets its independence because the future of the UK is a genuinely scary prospect. I leave you with this thought. If you think that the Scots will prosper under its devolved parliament in a Better Together Britain after September, then consider that UKIP is committed to abolishing the Scottish Parliament and Boris Johnson sees no need for it and definitely no reason to give it enhanced powers. Put that together with the carefully constructed narrative in England and Wales that sees the populations of those countries hostile to granting the Scottish Parliament any further power as current opinion polls are telling us and you can kiss goodbye to any further powers and a diminution of those we already have. Better Together? It's a cruel and malicious joke! You have been warned
