MAY 5th? OK, BUT LET'S EXTEND THE REFERENDUM!

DICK GREGG the leader of the LIBTHINGIES and a leading member of the Coalition Government, wants to hold his referendum on May 5, which is the same day as the Scottish Holyrood Election.

Labour and the SNP have united in opposition to the date in case it detracts from the Scottish Election.  But I say however, BRING IT ON!  If we're going to have a referendum let's extend it to have a vote on the CALMAN recommendations, CALMAN PLUS giving fiscal responsibility to Holyrood and while we're at it let's have a vote on FULL SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE.  Four questions to answer.  Surely 60 years of Labour haven't made us that FUCKING STUPID that we can't vote on a few questions while we vote for the SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT!

NOW'S YOUR TIME TO STRIKE LIKE A COBRA, ALEX!

Now is the time for Alex Salmond to ask Cameron how high he will jump to get the SNP/Plaid support to go with the Ulster Unionists.  Now's the time to extract the best deal possible FOR SCOTLAND AND SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE and leave LABOUR floundering once more as the FEEBLE FORTY who can do nothing to help SCOTLAND because they and the other UNIONIST PARTIES are under the heel of their LONDON MASTERS.

STRIKE NOW WHILE THE IRON IS HOT!

IS IT TIME THE SNP DITCHED ALEX SALMOND?

UPDATE:PROMINENT NATIONALIST AGREES

 

Alex Salmond is a slick operator.  Of that there is little doubt.  But has he been there too long?  Has he now lost the political nous that's kept him at the top of his game for so many years?

After what without doubt has been THE MOST INEFFECTUAL CAMPAIGN in history in which the main party political broadcast appeared to be some fuckwit 'high-fiving' his mates and then walking up a mountain to shout "SCOTLAND" at the top of his voice like some reject from 'Braveheart', most SNP bloggers like myself and  SUBROSA are quite frankly incredulous at the way Salmond has jumped into bed with LABOUR in order to form what he terms a 'PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE' or some such ridiculous moniker.

If we had wanted to vote LABOUR we would have voted for them.  Most SNP voters fucking hate LABOUR.  I for one, would rather cut off my right arm than vote for them.  And what's more Labour hate the SNP just as much.  What Alex Salmond forgets is that many SNP supporters want Scottish independence not go create some great socialist state, but simply for the reason that we believe we can coax our fellow Scots away from the habit of appearing to be benefit junkies and back to being the progressive people we have been in the past.  I believe in social justice, but you have to wonder sometimes at a people who have been fed shite by Labour for sixty years but still vote them back in every chance they get.

Alex Salmond, should be willing to work with any government who is able to take power.  We all know that the cuts are coming and the SNP's 'more Nats, less cuts' slogan at the election was cringe worthy and was seen through by the electorate.  He should be working to get the best deal he can to further the causes of INDEPENDENCE, that's why he's there.

The Scottish elections in 2011 are now starting to loom and it's time the SNP got their act together for them.  We don't want to let those Labour bastards back in!

ID CARD DEVELOPMENT COSTING £230K PER DAY

Almost £230,000 is spent every day on 'Big Brother' identity cards and biometric passports, despite the project being widely considered doomed.



Taxpayers' cash is being lavished on 'development' costs, amounting to a record £42million spent in six months this year - or £229,508 every day.


LibDem spokesman Chris Huhne, who obtained the figures, said 'such enthusiastic spending is brazen'.


He added: Any taxpayer's money spent on ID cards is wasted - they will not fight terrorism, cut crime or halt illegal working.


So Alex, when one of your UNIONIST PALS stands up at FMQs on Thursday and asks how much you are spending on the independence referendum, you can tell him that a scheme that HAS NO CHANCE OF COMING TO FRUITION COST £85 MILLION IN 2008/09.
