I apologise for failing to post for a week but I was away and unavailable. This post may seem a bit dated but I want to bring to your attention how the election campaign is progressing just like I told you it would. We have now had Westminster and its lackeys in the media and the civil service telling outrageous lies about Nicola Sturgeon. This lie was so blatant that it prompted the French government to intervene and reveal that the information released by Westminster was indeed a bare faced lie. Despite the denials by all parties concerned, the Daily Mail continued to promote this lie thus effectively calling both the Scottish and French governments liars. The only light at the end of this scandalous tunnel is that it has now spectacularly backfired on them and shows us the extent of their fear and hatred of the consequences that their mismanagement of the nation has aroused in Scotland.
On Thursday night's Question Time we had the spectacle of one of the most right-wing commentators in Britain, Peter Hitchens, accusing the Tories of lying about the so-called economic recovery and showing how the Prime Minister does not know the difference between the deficit and the National Debt. He actually sounded a bit like me when he described the two major parties as walking corpses telling us that they are both dying and exist by holding each other up. Things must be bad when someone like Hitchens loses all patience with the two major parties and calls for a fundamental reform of the political system.
Another aspect of Question Time was when a member of the audience who was self-evidently a Tory, demanded that the Labour representative on the panel, the appalling Andy Burnham, give a categorical assurance that Labour would not enter into any form of coalition with the SNP after the election. He made this demand five times. Now, I have told you repeatedly that I support the SNP, not because I am a nationalist, but because the SNP are the only mechanism at the moment that will enable Scotland to get away from Westminster. Therefore, when I vote in May, I will be voting in a British national election, for a British political party who are quite legally and legitimately contesting this election. I will be voting as a British citizen. However, for too many English people, all of those qualifications are simply ignored and dismissed as immaterial and unacceptable. Regardless of how many British citizens vote for the SNP, English voters are demanding that their votes are more valid and more important than mine and that if my vote leads to an outcome that they disagree with it should not be allowed. I mean, who do these people think they are that they can demand that regardless of the wishes of the people who vote for a party, that party must not obey these wishes because it does not sit with their vision of how Britain should be governed? I was down in England over the weekend and was discussing how English political attitudes to the Scots are bordering on the racist. I had to remind them that a significant number of the Scottish voting public are not Scots, as Scotland is a genuine multiracial and multicultural society. Finally, it would also surprise you the amount of English voters who tell me they wish they could vote SNP. It is to be hoped that the Tories and Lib/Dems are wiped out in Scotland next month and that Labour gets such a hammering that all those Westminster parties are sent homeward to think again. You have been warned.
