Readers of this blog will be well aware how I loath the Labour Party. There are various reasons for this but the principal reason is that Labour are a giant fraud, they are simply a living lie, the great betrayers. If the Tories have one saving grace it is that every Tory knows within themselves that they are utter scum. They are unprincipled, elitist, immoral, devoid of any decency and humanity and are totally contemptious of the rest of us whom they consider exist simply to provide for them. The big lie with Labour is that they pretend to be different when in reality the Labour Party has been taken over lock stock and barrel by Tories.
I grew up in a society where the Labour Party could reasonably claim to represent working people. It was always a capitalist party of business, but at least it made an effort to cater for working people's basic needs, and it built the welfare state. In any event, that party is long gone dead and buried. I've told you before that when Mad Tony was standing for the leadership of Labour I wrote to many people predicting that he would effectively destroy the Labour Party. I think I must have been the only person in Britain who took him at his word when he said that he was going to kill the party he was hoping to lead and create an entirely new party whilst retaining the name, Labour. People conveniently forget that Mad Tony called his party New Labour. Old Labour was assassinated and quietly buried. He killed and buried Labour's constitution and changed its rules. There is no Labour Party today there is only Mad Tony's creature, the party that not only feels completely relaxed about people being filthy rich, but is equally completely relaxed about people being filthy poor. This is the party that ushered in the financial collapse, that began the privatisation of the health service, that gave us ATOS, zero-hours contracts, war, torture and rendition, amongst other disasters.
What is happening in Scotland is that people have finally rumbled the Labour fraud and are turning away from them in disgust. We had the spectacle yesterday of the London leadership firmly slapping down their Scottish leader Jim Murphy and showing him up for the liar that he is. Despite the fact that we have an institution laughingly called the Scottish Labour Party, no such thing exists in reality. It was the last Labour leader of the Scottish party, Johann Lamont, who told us that Scottish Labour are nothing more than a branch office and that Murphy was a backstabbing bully, those were her words, not mine. As far as Scotland is concerned, Scottish Labour will only do exactly what they are told by London. Indeed, as is well-known, Murphy is a prominent member of the Henry Jackson Society which describes itself as neoconservative. That means that Murphy is in fact to the right of the present Tory party, and this is the man who claims to represent the Scottish working people. Murphy is the prototypical Labour fraudster, very much a ravening wolf in sheep's clothing. Therefore, regardless of the propaganda that only Labour can save us from the Tories, the truth is that regardless of who wins the Westminster election, Scotland will be at the mercy of one form of Tory or another, and that is what the Scottish people are beginning to realise. When Mad Tony became leader, Labour committed itself to one single policy goal, power at any cost. Whatever is necessary to gain power and to keep it, Labour will commit to, and if that means shafting the Scots and lying through their teeth as we saw with the famous vow, then that is exactly what they will do, and I repeat without apology, that is the spirit of Westminster, they are all the same.
People continually tell me that Murphy, Miliband, etc. are educated people. Wrong I tell them, they are perhaps well schooled, but they are self-evidently not well educated, and there is a large difference between being schooled and being educated. The tragedy is that any democratic society is only as healthy as its democratic process. Scotland needs a vibrant and authentic party of working people. Even if we get independence, we will need a healthy party system, we need choice, we need genuine competition for votes, we need an intelligent and well educated opposition for whoever is in government. There is no possibility for any competent politics from either the present Tory, Labour or Lib/Dem political personnel, and that is a tragedy for every citizen of this country. Before Labour can begin any form of process of renewal and competence, it will have to be thoroughly humiliated and purged of the gangsters who compose its ruling clique. That is the challenge facing the Scottish electorate. Labour cannot, under any circumstance, be trusted in its present form. You have been warned.
