Not desperately interested in what you're saying there, matey. You have even less power than Gordon Brown and are, by most people's standards, not very influential in the UK political hierarchy. In fact most of us've not even heard of you.
Do you actually know why your ex-leader wouldn't even congratulate Alex Salmond on becoming first minister of Scotland, never mind discuss some more powers for Scotland with him?
If you really don't know, then here's a wee hint for you.
The answer is..."I don't know!"
PS: If you do get round to asking him about it, could you ask why he thinks that granting powers that we already have, over health and training for example, is the right way to go?
Ask him if he thinks his fellow North Britons really are thick enough to think that these things are not already devolved.
Gordon Brown can't remember he is an MP so no wonder he can't remember that health, training and transport are already devolved, vacuous. The North Britan Labour Candidate on the clip just says what they all say, blah blah blah. Wonder what he thinks is bigger than independence though, communism? Nope they abandoned that, democracy? Nope not in Scotland. What do they stand for other than council tax rises and telling me I get everything for nothing from English money. Bunch of w*****s.

Nicely summed up
DeleteThat Labour man will tell any lies just to get elected, no ambition for Scotland only himself.

yeah but it's only for poor people....
DeleteThey (the BT crowd) would not be offering any powers if their internal polling was worrying them.
ReplyDeleteYes, they must be pretty shaken up. Even if they are offering things that are already devolved, they'd be saying nothing if the pools looked good for them.
DeleteLikewise Ed Balls wouldn't be offering to talk to Alex Salmond about currency.
I wonder if any of his constituents ever get to see Gordon Brown, or if his staff do all the surgeries, and are therefore the ones who tell people that if they have problems with health or education or law and order, they should see their MSP...
Gordon Brown, can't even sort out Dalgety Bay, never mind proposing a whole fake list of Mibee powers for Scots, if they say no. Anyone who believes anything Mr Browns says with regards to extra powers for Scotland if they say no, is living in a fantasy world.
ReplyDeleteA well respected labour voter for 67 years has come out and said, that the only way forward for Scots, realistically is to vote for independence. David Donnison a renowned professor at the West of Scotland University, said its not independence thats the problem, but Englands politics and Labours lurch to the right, that will be Scotlands downfall, unless we vote yes.
I saw that, but I think 47 years was the correct amount of time. The guy only looks 60ish!!!
DeleteI'd say he was right. What is wrong is that we are run by a right wing government or series thereof, for the express benefit of the City of London, as that is the only thing in England that makes a profit.
The Failing UK Economy – and Scotland’s exit route
ReplyDeleteIt isn’t just the unending series of individual project blunders, from the poll tax and unworkable IT systems to Gordon Brown’s aircraft carriers and Ian Duncan Smith’s universal credit scheme. There is also a long list of regulatory failures, from banking and the misselling of pensions to railways and hospitals. There are further disasters in waiting like HS2 and the Hinckley Point power station contract. Many of these may have been good ideas in principle, but they have crashed or are about to crash, at the cost of tens of billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money, because of a British culture of governmental incompetence.
Well, I'm struggling to think of any of them as being "good" ideas, although some were clearly worse than others.
