Camel - Back and Indeed Straw

OK this is the one that did it, that drove me to abandon constructive debate with the delightful unionist dependence junkies and finally commit some nouns and verb to t'internet.

How can supporters of a party that was
founded on principles of equality
and the finer essence of humanity turn
themselves into a rabid hold-on-to
-power at any costright wing cabal.
Two instances over the last couple of
days, fetched my goat and kicked its pan in.

(1) Wildcat strike. "British Jobs for British Workers."
Ok the spin they put on it sounds weak,
but hey benefit of the doubt and all that. What he
really meant was train British workers to do jobs
in Britain. So how do they respond? They wheel out
Baron Fey of Hartlepool to tell the workers in
best Daily Mail stylee, "If you don't like working
here fuck off to foreign."
Ok I paraphrase, but that is the essence of his message.

(2) Titian. Wonderful news that an acclaimed
masterpiece gets to stay accessible within the
shores of this island. So what do we get on a
day when we should be celebrating the fact that
the Scottish Government saw fit to involve itself
in the campaign to retain the work here?
Ian Davidson Labour MP for
Deep Fried Poverty South West whining that
it wisnae wurf it. What a chundering dobber.
Anti-intellectualism went out of fashion
with Madame Mao.
Look at the benefits Glasgow has had from
Dali's Christ on the Cross. 
It has been the backbone of the cultural
renaissance of Glasgow's
economic regeneration. Does he not see now that
'Diana and Actaeon' will have a similar effect
on Edinburgh and the places it tours with the
Bridgewater Collection.

However, I digress. I'm good at that.
What really slapped a saveloy up
my goats back passage was the following.
Go on Labour, let's hear you blame the
SNP ran council. I look forward to the current
MP Lyndsey Roy of Mordor explain away
his concerns, free from the
constraints of a Labour party
gun-toting PR lovey working him by
means of cold hands up his shirt tail.













GLENROTHES BY-ELECTION REGISTERS GO MISSING

Tricia Marwick MSP for Central Fife today
(Tuesday) called for an inquiry following
the revelation that the marked electoral
registers for the Glenrothes By Election
have gone missing.

The marked registers are the only record of
who voted during the election and were
delivered to the Sheriff Clerk's Office
in Kirkcaldy by the Returning Officer
at Fife Council.
The marked registers must be kept
for a year and are made
available for inspection by
individuals and political
parties.

John Beare the Convener of the SNP
in Central Fife first
asked for the marked registers in
November and following
numerous phone calls the Sheriff Clerk's
Office finally admitted
on Friday that the records were missing.

Tricia Marwick said:

"The marked registers are an
essential element of any
election campaign.

“They allow a check of who voted,
but not how they voted,
to confirm that the election was
conducted properly.
Without these records there is no
evidence of either a fair
or unfair election.  This undermines
the confidence of everyone
who took part.

"It is almost beyond belief that a
by-election which attracted
media coverage throughout the UK,
which delivered such a surprise
result and had a much higher
turnout than anticipated now has no
records to show who actually voted.

"There now needs to be the
fullest independent inquiry
carried out.

“The registers must have
gone missing almost immediately
after they were delivered to the
Sheriff Clerk's Office because
the SNP first asked for copies
on the 19th November. I also want
to know why we were not
told that the registers had gone missing
when we first started to
make inquiries about examining them."



Shocker eh? Let's see them squirm and blame.
Make accusations of sour grapes, blame the
SNP council, anything but open their
eyes to the possibility that the Labour party
are a corrupt cabal only interested in retaining
power and privilege.
