Labour Aristocrats are Better Together in London

King Anas, moved up in the world. Appointing noblemen to jobs
Anas Sarwar has appointed, if you please, The Noble Lord, Baron ffoulkes of Cummnock, The Noble Lord, Baron Robertson of Port Ellen (where they speak Gaelic), The Noble Lord, Baron Reid of Cardowan, The Noble Baroness, Lady Liddell of Coat Dyke and The Noble Lord, Baron McConnell of Glenscorrodale (if it's no tartan, it's a skirt) to the Yes for Labour campaign or whatever it is called.

Thatcher lookalike
Doubtless his reasoning for doing this is that:



 a) the Labour party relies heavily for anyone of gravitas on a House of parliament that they have always vowed to abolish (but never have) and



 b) because they know that ordinary working class Scottish people really love and deeply respect the their social betters.

I know for a fact that one word from the mouths of any of these people, who are my betters, will immediately change my mind.

Frankly I think they are taking a big chance with this.
George, as sober as a lord

The want to get a positive message across, but as far as I can see we have already had plenty of people with ordinary red blood trying to tell us that with a Labour government in England all social ills will be cured. There will be social justice for all our peoples and we will have enormous clout in NATO, The EU, The UN, and every other world body.
It hasn't worked thus far.

Why do they think that there is much chance of the message being any better when it comes form blue bloods that rely on the House of the Living Dead for £300 a day tax free and loads of subsidised grub and booze.

Wee Joke.
If it's not tartan, it's a skirt
I mean, I don't want to criticise, Anas, but, personally, I’d be wondering if these noble personages weren't bending the truth just a wee bitty so that they could keep their aristocratic snouts in the plentiful troughs of Westminster.



They should get Mental Mickey Forsyth to join them. I know he's a Tory, but they are all much of a muchness.

    1. I've already thrown in the towel Dubs...

      I've become a Tory like Mr Robertson and Mr ffoulkes.

      I've been singing Rule Britannia and Jerusalem for the last half hour.

      God save the King!

  2. Don't you just love their bright ideas

    A favoured son wrote to his dad
    Please help me out it's looking bad
    I know dear son but I have a plan
    And you will be the go to man

    Our Darling one will get the boot
    Right up his jacksy. what a hoot
    And you will get an ermine coat
    Don't ever think it is a stoat


    Now Geordie with his bright red nose
    Wee Jock might wear his knee length hose
    They'll help because they want the brass
    It matters not they have no class

    Then call upon the NATO man
    And the one who thought Afghanistan
    Would never hear an angry shot
    We know they talk a load of rot

    These Lords will tell the natives
    How things will have to be
    And you my son will shine so bright
    Even though you are a useless -----

    Love Daddy xx

  3. Another great poem, Mato. Have you ever asked someone to put a wee tune to them? The one on the earlier post especially.

    About "Lords", I've found a wee poem that somebody wrote a few years ago that seems relevant -

    Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
    Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
    Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
    He's but a coof for a' that:
    For a' that, an' a' that,
    His ribband, star, an' a' that:
    The man o' independent mind
    He looks an' laughs at a' that.

    1. Well that's pretty appropriate for the purpose:

    I had a laugh at this, they are really desperate. As if these Lords and Ladies of the working class will sway things. Be fun watching them in their pearls and armani suits telling someone in Govan just home from the foodbank that we are all in it together.

    1. I see the Noble Baron of Gaelic, speaking in New York, has said that it will be catastrophic for peace in the world if Scotland is independent.

      Apparently, according to his Nobleness, Britain punching above its weight, and Scots soldiers going to their deaths in wars that are nothing to do with us, is vital to the whole balance of world peace. The Importantness thinks that America should speak out against independence because they have told him they are very concerned about it.

      That would be a good idea.!

      I'm waiting for the Ukraine to be our fault. Perhaps Mr Cameron, asking Putin for help with the referendum sparked the unrest over there.

      Delete
    2. Here's a quote from "Lord" Robertson about independence in that New York speech:

      ...the forces of darkness would simply love it.

      After that I was disappointed that he didn't namecheck "Saruman" Salmond as an ally of Sauron and an oik (orc?) who has dual citizenship with Mordor.

      Delete
    3. For heaven's sake, we are a tiny little country with fewer than 5 million people... The forces of darkness (David Cameron and Iain Duncan Smith in my opinion... not to mention the thieving cow Miller) are probably not actually that bothered about us.

      If we ARE that important as to upset the whole balance of the world, it is high time that our people weren't living in such poverty.

  6. My only memory of Lady Helen Lidl is during the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games when he boss Robert Maxwell was under pressure in front of the TV cameras due to some shady financial dealings, how she pushed him into the toilets in Edinburgh City Chambers then followed him in. It was a hilarious clip I'd love to see again, and I always wondered what they were doing in there together. I hope she never pushes me into a toilet then leaps in after me.

    1. OMG. What a repulsive thought.

      I met her a t a do in Edinburgh Castle when she was SoS and Henry was FM. I liked him, although he was first minister and way above her in status and importance, he was approachable. She on the other hand acted like the "lady" she became, although she was only Mrs L at the time.

      She always reminded me of Thatcher.

  7. Maybe Lord George will entertain us with his greatest hits - no poun intended - "Waltzing with Hilda" and "I fought the law". Seriously, they must be getting desperate when they have to seek help from those who have never done anything constructive for Scotland but have been "elevated" to the communal sleep-in/trough for being sycophantic toadies.

  9. I wonder what the people of Port Ellen think about his views. Not very far from Faslane as the bomb explodes, they would be a prime target in the event of a nuclear strike. Nice to know that he cares about you by keeping Trident

    1. He cares about him, and clearly he never goes to Islay, otherwise he'd be aware that not all of us speak his beloved English.

    2. He is on record as being virulently anti-Gaelic back in the 80s when Donald Stewart tried to put forward a Private Members Bill in support of the language. No great surprise, given the massive amount of research done into the shame and self-hatred felt by people associated minority languages, that Robertson would hold the views he does. These feelings are then extended beyond the language to place. Johann Lamont's another interesting stereotype.

    3. He sounds like he'd like us all to give up speaking Scots or Gaelic and just be good little Englishmen.

      Horrible little man... oh sorry Lord!

  10. The London owned Daily Record has given the Secretary of State for Portsmouth Alistair Carmichael a three-quarter page spread, where he vents his anger on the nasty cybernats. Carmichael then goes on to say that a SLAB MSP (anonymous of course) has been threatened by a YES supporter.

    The YES supporter said to this (anonymous of course) MSP "Watch your back" this in my opinion is a made up nonsense smear directed at the YES camp.

    The Daily Record View fairs no better, by calling cybernats a hate filled mob full of poison and threats. Sticking with this London owned unionist rag the only in the surreal world of the Daily Record can the creation of 400 jobs by the SNP Government be seen as a mediocre and potentially bad thing, why? well the 400 jobs areto be created by a debt company, of which the Daily Record claims, the poor will suffer because of these new jobs,.

    Phew! talk about spinning a positive story into a negative story.

    1. Labour good... even if it's bombing the hell out of innocent people in Baghdad: SNP bad, even it it's creating 400 jobs.

      We shouldn't be criticising debt collection; we should be criticising the situation that get people into debt. The fact that despite inflation for the poor being around 10%, benefits went up by only 1%...

      Nice to know that thieves like cabinet minister who make millions out of selling houses that we bought for their mums and dads will be availing themselves of 11% pay rises.

    Pauline Marois loses riding then resigns, as Quebec Liberals hand Parti Québécois a stunning defeat



    OTTAWA (Reuters) - The anti-separatist Quebec Liberal Party won a majority government in provincial elections on Monday, eliminating the possibility of a new referendum on independence from Canada for several years and crushing the separatist Parti Quebecois.

    The election in the mainly French-speaking province had turned into a referendum on whether to hold another vote on separating from Canada, and the answer appeared to be a resounding "Non."

    An independent Scotland would face an immediate debt repayment of £23bn to the UK Treasury, equivalent to more than a third of its entire spending, an economics thinktank has warned.

    The National Institute for Economics and Social Research (NIESR) said the new Scottish government would have to borrow that £23bn sum in its first year of independence, at interest rates up to 1.65% higher than the UK Treasury's rates, in addition to billions more needed to meet its budget shortfall on day-to-day spending.

    1. NO it wouldn't

      NO one anywhere would even begin to believe that if we were sharing a currency we would have to pay them our share right away.

      And if we are not sharing a currency as Camerposh and Gideon we won't have to pay them a brass bean.

      If the currency isn't partly ours and the Bank of Enbgland doesn't belong in part to us, then neither does the debt they took on.

      Fact.
