Wow, what a night, no-one foresaw the outcome of the election, but some things have become very clear to me at least. I have been warning you since I began this blog that the Tories have a long-term strategy to reintroduce modern forms of slavery, now there is nothing to stop them. They have announced today that one of their priorities is to scrap the Human Rights Act. I have had a book published that deals with this topic and I show the reasons why they detest all human rights and their strategy for abolishing them. If you are on a zero-hours contract for example, you have no employment rights, none, zero, and your employer can treat you in any way they see fit and there is nothing you can do about it. That my friends is a subtle form of slavery, and it is going to get a lot worse.
What is clear is that Britain is now a deeply divided country and that the Scottish electorate has nothing in common with the English electorate south of about Manchester. We are two different peoples with two different cultures. This makes an independent Scotland just a matter of when and not if. Yesterday the English electorate voted quite decisively for more zero-hours working, more foodbanks and more people using them, more government driven poverty, more attacks on the poor and the disabled and an outright war against any form of welfare. We will now witness the accelerated privatisation of the NHS in England and Wales, and voters in England have signalled that they not only support such measures but that they support even harsher application of them. That is quite obvious. The English electorate took a decisive step towards barbarism yesterday and signalled that they wished to effectively abandon civilised behaviour. So, not only will we have a ferocious assault on basic rights and social security, but we will be deprived of any form of redress through human rights legislation.
If there was a god I would thank him/her for the basic common sense and decency of the Scottish electorate, because we have a way out, and if any Labour people ever read this I would make a sincere plea to you. Labour now have the chance to redefine themselves and start to recover their place in Scottish society and regain their soul. They have been effectively cleansed of the neoliberal poison that has slowly destroying them since they sold their soul to Mad Tony and Daphne Broon. Scottish Labour must make a complete break from Westminster and become a party in their own right. All the personnel that are responsible for Labour's electoral destruction have been banished, and you must ensure that they never make a comeback. Scotland needs a revitalised and meaningful Labour Party, but it has to be a party that genuinely represents the Scottish people and produces policies that reflect this, instead of doffing the cap to Westminster and accepting the neoliberal free market dogma that is killing this country. Labour in England will have to return to their quest for middle England and if the Scottish party accept that route and the policy programme that will define it they will never make a government in Scotland again.
Labour will get the chance to begin a recovery next year. The Scottish electoral system will ensure that they get a respectable presence in Holyrood, even if they poll the same way as they did yesterday. Even if they fail to win any constituency seats in next years election they will be given seats in the regional additional member section. If they miss this opportunity they will cease to be relevant. The Tories have graphically demonstrated throughout this election why they are called the nasty party and voters in England are happy to be ruled by people who are shameless liars and are quite obviously sociopathic. Good luck to them if that is what they want, but for Scotland, no thanks. Only a genuine imbecile could now try and convince you that we are Better Together. You have been warned.
