No matter what the SNP gov say <br />about the sham that is the Scotland bill, the daily rags and state run tv will twist it to SNP baaad, so you are right in that the tories have nothing to lose. That is the whole point, the no result of referendum was always going to be lose lose for Scotland. They have, or think they have, Scotland by the b***s, but it may turn out quite differently to what the tories had planned for a long time. We do need to watch them very very closely in the run up to our election in May, they are desperate, Scotland is too valuable to lose, always have been. <br /><br />The real disgrace is the liebour and other partys in how they have truly shafted Scotland and much of it only coming to peoples' attention. What did the liebour party ever do for us? They had their pretendy opposition to the nasty tories to keep them at the trough at the expense of the people, many many who have suffered long term poverty, shocking housing conditions (just look at the types of housing built by the unionsist, for the plebs in the 50s and 60s, they might as well have built prisons) and with no, or few prospects. <br />If you go to the SNP gov website and fb pages etc, you will find they are open and that there is plenty of clarity regards where they stand at the moment. Pass it on, because it will not be in the media and many still do not have internet. <br /><br />hettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336425954068503728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-48374054798118533682016-02-08T18:33:02.504+00:002016-02-08T18:33:02.504+00:00Alistair so far the SNP have demonstrated a level ...Alistair so far the SNP have demonstrated a level of competence when faced with Unionist hyperbole that leaves me unconcerned. The Unionists still control the mass media in Scotland but it is a mass media whose ability to influence is massively over rated as plummeting circulation and viewing figures demonstrate. This site is not promoted but I average 6,000 unique hits a month .... people are looking for alternate views before making their minds up. The Cuthberts in Bella are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill with their cries of excessive secrecy yet it is clear the Tories know the 'gemme is a bogey' for their unadulterated Scotland Bill ... the silence from Fluffy Mundell is deafening.Mad Jock McMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088238215251518226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042131604091564151.post-73398649758601776842016-02-08T18:04:06.406+00:002016-02-08T18:04:06.406+00:00While I agree with the principal that The Scotland...While I agree with the principal that The Scotland Bill is nothing but a fiscal trap I'm worried that the SG need to develop a crystal clear transparent narrative that supports the need to walk away if that's what they do and I'm not hearing that kind of clarity from any of the big players even though there is substantial clarity across our new media. Failure to get that message out will damage voting numbers to some extent and that could be very damaging to the make up of post election Holyrood. It's a pig in a poke and they are all waiting for us to screw it up big time so they can bring project fear back to attack the competence of any SNP Government. They have nothing to lose.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.com
