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.
