The arguments being levelled by SNP spinners such as Hosie are bordering on the ridiculous. I am especially enjoying the SNP's criticism of the genuine democratic debate taking place within Labour - any such difference of opinion would never be accepted within the hive mind of the modern day SNP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-6604564213564190662015-09-29T11:21:28.393+01:002015-09-29T11:21:28.393+01:00Andrew - you wrote: "He couldn't give a h...Andrew - you wrote: "He couldn't give a ha’penny jizz about politics north of the Tweed".

To fail to do so would be to expose the Government to enforcement action from the European Commission." <br /><br />Unfortunately for them, the Scottish govt is also totally infatuated with the European Union. If only, instead of being hemmed into this Unionist privatising agenda, the people of our country had the power to take their own decisions, to forge their own destiny, to...

But you are right, Corbyn should have checked them, but who with? The Rev Stu? The SNP? There we have Labour's problem, they have no honest information sources on Scottish politics available to them, only bitter, twisted, SNP BAAAAAD tribalists. <br /><br />We can perhaps hope Corbyn and now McDonnell get angry at being made to mouth falsehoods, except in McDonnell's case they are quarter truths and come from defeated SNP BAAAD amendments SLAB put up as hostages to fortune in the House. The supposed bits were tacked onto screeds of SNP BAAAD stuff the SNP could not support. <br /><br />It is tawdry politics but in the New Scotland where the truth is a facebook post away for many folk who have learnt to check all political statements. The grassroots online network SLAB railed against in the GE, folk daring to look their lies up and disbelieve them. How very dare we. <br /><br />Unless and until London Labour realise this is the case and that they can no longer operate like this they will continue to decline here in the New Scotland. <br /><br />There is a danger here for the SNP too as the weight of government bears down on them and the temptation to cut the corners, blur the lines, take the easy way out will be taken. He who lives by the sword. Their problem is they do not wield this sword, the sovereign online people of Scotland do.

It is far too easy to blame his script writers. If he was the sharp intellect they say he is then why is he reading off lines written by Scottish Labour eejits who have only got 1 MP left.

Heard it too many times before to go on believing this wasn't exactly what it looked like: deliberate, carefully-worded lying, peddled with the full confidence that it will go unchallenged by our spineless, complicit media.
