Sometimes you have to step away from the screen, rub your
eyes, look back and check that you really read what you just read.
I saw a NO voter today, a life-long Labour supporter, say
that, in the event of Westminster reneging on its vague promise of more powers
or, worse, actually reducing powers and/or funding in Scotland, that it would
be Alex Salmond’s fault and he hoped that Salmond would be able to live with
himself.
I’ll just type that out again for you: any negative consequences
of a NO vote would be Alex Salmond’s fault.
His logic – and I use that term loosely – being that, had
that wee, fat Eck (height and weight v important in politicians) just left
things alone, not bothered everyone with his pesky desire to give us the
opportunity to see our nation free from Westminster rule, everything could have
stayed the same. ‘Cause, you know, it’s all perfect at the moment.
Again, you’ll note the personal touch here with all blame being
attributed to one man – not a party or a campaign or YES voters – just this one
man, Alex the Merciless. You’ll also note that any ill-effects after a
NO vote would not be the fault of NO voters. Nope. Nor would they be the fault of the Westminster parties lying. Nope.
And this life-long Labour supporter is perfectly happy for
his party to link arms with his life-long enemy – the one he never votes for,
but frequently gets stuck with – the good old Tory party. He doesn’t blink an
eye. It gives him no pause for thought that his party is in cahoots with the Tory
party and the Lib-Dem party in their attempts to convince people that Scotland is incapable of being a successful independent nation. If he did stop and think about that, he’d probably
find someone else to blame anyway. Any guesses who that someone would be?
Has anyone got a pair of ruby slippers I can borrow? This can't be real.
