Us in Scotland, we are termed as “The canny Scots” meaning we are supposed to be frugal, prudent (esp. with money) [a canny Scot – one who has an aversion to separating money from his pocket] (as in “He's that canny he aye pays for his round wi' empty lemonade bottles“) but how do some of my fellow “canny Scots” justify their support for Nicola Sturgeon, a one trick pony of a party which puts a desire for Scottish Independence above all else, and if said Independence was to be got the the economical downturn of this great nation would be devastating.
Thus especially applies to my fellow “canny Scots” who once in 2013/14 perched to me about the “white paper” which can since been proved about as reliable as a chocolate teapot with the facts it contained.
Basically the SNP can’t be trusted and this has been proved on and on and on yet their supporters, like a whipped dog return for more... very uncanny Scots if you were to ask me.
Let’s look at the current Beloved Leader .... Nicola ( wee Nippy) Sturgeon, especially let’s look at her in this current plague climate ....
Firstly, as she claims, Nicola has had not written briefings about the outbreak of the Corona virus in Scotland 🤔 Ehhh....but only for the months that the Freedom of Information requests were made obviously....
So who believes it is possible for someone with responsibility for the health of 5.4 million people not to have had its Health Ministry provide written briefings? ... but hey, if you do then allow me to let you into a little secret... Scotland has discovered the largest gold reserves in the world under the bones of an ancient Unicorn burial ground. Please send me your bank sort code and account number so I can forward them onto Bute house so you can share in this incredible wealth... free magic Tartan beans to the first 5 who respond.
Now last week I actually thought something impossible had happened, no, not that rock that Alex Salmond stuck up in some university garden saying will only melt in the sun with tuition fees return to Scotland, be prepared for that heatwave folks ... it’s on its way.. no, what I would to me the Scottish equivalent of the burning Bush was when Sturgeon actually looked like she was taking done responsibility
by appearing to accept that transferring hundreds of untested patients out of hospitals into care homes contributed to Scotland's huge coronavirus death toll in the institutions.
Despite the fact that she was confuses hindsight with negligence my jaw actually dropped ....was this going to be a Dickensian Scrooge-like moment? Perhaps she was visited by the Ghost of Christmas feature were Road Warriors fought over scraps of MacDonalds in an apocalyptical Independent Scotland. But my illusion was soon shattered a couple days later whist she was interviewed by Sophia Ridge of SkyNews and when asked why Scotland’s care home deaths were almost doubled that of England she said, whilst rapidly blinking which is body language of a liar, “England is not recording its care homes deaths correctly”!
I shake my head with despair at times with what comes out this woman’s month, but then I think with misplaced optimism ..never fear ... there is a regulatory body that can take action against politicians who fail us, it’s called “the electorate” but then a remember how her family base has just increased during this pandemic (“clap for Sturgeon day”.... really ? .... are people just so dumb?) .... it’s really just a damn shame too many of them put rhetoric before facts
But when will be be held to account? When? I mean come I. Scottish journalists, now would be an excellent time to ask Sturgeon about NikeGate the scandal of sending untested patients from hospital to care homes, funds not being passed on to Scottish Business, test tracking debacle. I mean you've got to start sometime. Right? But no they are all too scared of the cult backlash. Intimidating culture within the SNP.
But if a Tory coughs without covering his mouth then it’s release the dogs of war!
Can we remember it was just last year the SNP key point during campaigning against the Conservatives was that the Tories would sell off the NHS? Do you remember these scare stories and stirring speeches in Scotland (ignoring the fact the the NHS is devolved is Scotland but that would spoil the narrative).... but guess what ......This year the Conservative government ran up one of the biggest bills in history to save the NHS from collapse
And then there is all this continuous tiresome shit about Westminster and England ...the pernicious narrative peddled by Scottish nationalists that England colonised Scotland, and then the rest of the world — and so England must even now be resisted in Scotland — sounds suspiciously like an act of whitewashing Scottish culpability, at least to the ears of this descendant of a former colony... pish .... the SNP ...Civic Nationalist... bullshit it’s ethnic, we in Scotland have plenty blood on our hands, The “tobacco lords” of Glasgow were enriched by slavery in the Americas and Africa, if you do just a wee but research beyond watching Braveheart there is plenty facts available to prove wrong the naysayers suffering under such a false sense of righteousness... but I don’t think they will be getting teaches under the CfE during history classes in the dwindling devolved Scottish Education.
