It now looks as though Scotland will deliver a Yes vote in the referendum, I am predicting a 57% Yes vote, although I hope I am wrong and it is even higher. If Scotland does vote Yes then the entire Westminster establishment will experience the stinging sensation that the Greeks called hubris. What this means that they will have been brought low by their own insufferable arrogance and vanity. The three Westminster party leaders have suddenly discovered Scotland, indeed they have discovered a hitherto alien concept, democracy. On Channel Four news tonight, David Cameron told us that he and Miliband are coming up to Scotland tomorrow and they are going to listen to people. I ask you to think about that. He has been Prime Minister for over four years now, and the referendum campaign is two years old. He has now decided, nine days before the vote, that he will have to start listening. Imagine admitting that on national television. If that is not the ultimate in arrogance I don't know what is. It is only bettered by its stupidity. I ask you again, how on earth do people like that get elected into public office? Regardless of the outcome of the referendum, even if the No vote prevails, Better Together will have to contemplate squandering a 22 point lead in the polls if the result is as close as is expected.
Having been advised by all their own experts to include an enhanced devolution option in the referendum Westminster ignored them in the arrogant belief that the Scots were too feart, to wee, and too thick to even think about abandoning what the Westminster geniuses have been calling the greatest and most successful union in human history. Their confidence today is revealed by the fact that they have sent for Gordon Brown to spearhead a desperate fightback against the Yes momentum. This man is not a member of the government, he does not even sit on the Shadow Cabinet. He is a has been, and a failure of Olympian proportions. He has hardly been seen in Westminster since he stormed off in the huff after losing the last election. He is one of the principal culprits in the project to turn the Labour Party into a more right wing party than the Tories. He told a public meeting in Fife today that he intends to protect our jobs and health care, its a wonder his tongue doesn't shrivel up and fall out of his mouth. You have to sit and wonder about the total absence of any shame people like that display. Indeed, Simon Jenkins, a died in the wool member of the British Establishment, a right-wing columnist and Chairman of the National Trust tells us today in the Guardian that we would be off our heads to trust anything these people tell us or promise us, that is what I told you two days ago.
Hubris is a concept you ignore at your peril, but, as I continually tell you, we make the grievous mistake of thinking that, because people like Brown, Blair, Darling, Cameron, Miliband etc. rise to the top of politics that they are also intelligent. Sly and cunning is not the same as intelligent. Intelligent people do not need to continually lie and deceive, they do not need to avoid answering questions, they do not need to spin. Liars, crooks and scoundrels need to mask their intentions, need to deceive and cheat, need to survive on arrogance and a contempt for everyone who is not of their class, their school or their club. Westminster has been found out, and they have been found out by the Scottish people challenging them and finding that they are indeed empty and lacking in any form or substance. If he hadn't done so much damage in government I could almost feel sorry for Alistair Darling as he is a truly pathetic excuse for a politician. He is finding out the meaning of hubris, I hope it serves him well. You have been warned.
