Yesterday demonstrated, once and for all, that Westminster and the UK Parliamentary Union is no longer fit for purpose in any shape or form whether for England (aka Britain) or the Celtic rabble they so clearly despise.
Yesterday we saw a Prime Minister claiming that she would change the key requirement for the current Brexit deal and remove the Northern Ireland backstop, which according to EU sources, was one of the same Prime Minister's red lines in the original negotiations. The EU would not thwart her this time, no sirree, she would show them who is boss. There is no understanding within the Tory Party that the rest of Europe see them as a busted flush, too busy protecting their own narrow interests ahead of those of the UK population at large to be trusted with even a Gouda cheese - let alone telling the EU what to do.
If yesterday was Jeremy Corbyn's big "jump off the fence" moment, the point where he was going to hold the Tory Government to the flame after two years of claiming Labour would sort it in the committee stages of the Brexit Bill and then basically said yes ot the Tories at every turn. Well, did you notice any change in Labour's position, nope, me neither. A damp squib would have had more impact. As usual "Labstention" was the theme of the day from the Labour front bench and Jeremy's hangers on.
The real eye opener was the way both English nationalist parties exited the house before the SNP's chief hound at Westminster got up on his back paws to have his bark and pee up against the "mace". What bigger signal do we need from Britain that Scotland should just piss off and get back in her box?
They are not listening now, they never will.
No matter where you turn, the British media is ensuring the independence case is getting no air time, cutting away to some expert or biased highly paid 'wind bag' in the middle of one of Mr Blackford's sentences. They could not even stomach the accurate historical points Mr Greer made about Churchill's less pleasant atributes and even in the face of objective evidence demonstrating Churchill had acted deliberately and simply tried to turn it against Mr Greer. That Greer stuck to his guns on this issue caused the Tory presenters (sorry, I mean unbiased London newsroom presenters) to froth at the mouth and, in effect, stick their fingers in their ears going "La,la,la I'm not listening" like some twelve year old school child.
This is the mindset of the British elite with whom Ms Sturgeon thinks she can reasonably negotiate with, after a Scottish Independence vote. All I say is,"Ms Sturgeon, better you than me, mate."
I spent years going into businesses, being paid well to do so, to state the "bleeding obvious" because those close to the decision making process get totally involved in protecting their area of vested interest or power base that the good of the company or organisation is pushed to one side. The competition amongst middle and senior management is no longer about market share or profitability for the company but ensuring they 'win', no matter the cost to the business, getting their "opposition" managers sacked simply adds to the taste of their empty victory. The boardroom becomes a battle field where board members seek to protect their "favourites" while rational business decisions become the exception rather than the norm. The company or organisation loses staff, reamaining staff morale is low, stock value plummets, productivity goes down and lenders start to get worried.The company's finance department starts issuing profit warnings to regulators and investors and bingo, a company like Carrilion goes down the "Swanney" taking lots of other companies with it.
The UK has gone through all the stages I have described above, during Brexit. The last stage has now taken place; UK's finance manager at the Bank of England has given his final warning to international investors but still the UK Board of Directors in 10 Downing Street and its Labour shadow is far too busy fighting among themselves to listen to its own people trying to tell them that Brexit is a "crock of shit'.
The answer to Ms May's attempt to re-open discussion on the Irish backstop has been met with a massive "NO" in which ever language of the EU 27 you wish to declaim it. The UK is on the verge of being a bankrupt nation, going the same way as its "besties" at Carillion, maybe we should forget any referendum on the issue of Scottish independence and offer the people of England their independence instead.
All it would take is MSPs to put forward a bill to repeal the 1707 Act of Union of the Scottish Parliament, at the current parliament, legal under Scots Law and constitutional practice, and for that bill to be passed, Royal Assent not being required for bills of the Scottish Parliament; then England would have its Brexit.
When it then came to any future negotiations, post English independence, we could always switch off the massive inter-connectors that feed 7,000 mega watts + to England every day to keep its lights on and the London underground working. Just to remind them who really has the "power" in any future negotiations. We could also put their gas on a peep just to reinforce the message.
Yesterday, at the British Parliament, was all about nothing.
