One of the main advantages having been an SNP/Independence Supporter all my life is that I never ever bought into the ‘scottish’ Labour have Scotland’s best interests at heart.
Long before the internet gave us access to the true facts I distrusted every single Britnat, Councillor, MP, Lord and journalist.
I have not changed my opinion in the ensuing years.
The joy has been that so many of my fellow Scots old and new are now of the same opinion, Vive La Internet!
I never bought the nonsense that John Smith was the greatest Prime Minister we never had or that Donald Dewar was the ‘father of the nation.’
When ever I heard or read any of that tripe I had an automatic gagging reflex.
Willie Ross, Smith, Dewar, Brown, Murphy, Reid, Wilson et al only had their own interests and the interests of The British Labour Party firmly inside imperial England at their core.
They all worked tirelessly to keep Scotland cowed, broken under London rule.
Any concession wrung out of Labour was never about improving the lives of ordinary Scots.
It was in Labour’s interests to keep us poor and dependent they protected that interest with vigor.
The 5th Column MSM and Media lied to us for generations that these modern day ‘Red Clydesider’ Socialists we’re fighting daily to bring Scots a land of milk and honey.
The reality was very different they were enriching and enobling themselves at the Westminster trough.
Scotland’s interests was the last thing on their minds.
James Hood in February 2014 when a ‘Scottish’ Labour MP said,
“Even if the SNP was right and there was a grand, great thing at the end of the rainbow for the SNP and its debate for independence, I would still be against it. If the Scottish people are going to be better off economically and so on, I would still be against breaking away from the Union”
From the mouths of one of their own, even if they know we would be better off they will still vote against it.
They haven’t changed a bit.
There has not been a true socialist among them in my lifetime.
Any of the many we sent down that showed anything too left wing for Middle-England tastes was quickly marginalized and sidelined.
They were only given a platform at Scottish Party Conferences when the cameras were there to pretend to left wing Scotland that ‘socialism’ was thriving in London Labour.
When Monday arrived and they were back in the imperial Parliament they were back to just voting fodder.
Everything SLAB did, from Regionalization of the Local Authorities to Holyrood was about halting the SNP and protecting the overlordship of Westminster.
George Robertson made that very clear in 1997 when being interviewed about the soon to open Edinburgh Parliament.
He said, “Devolution will kill the SNP stone dead….”

That was the one and only reason Labour agreed to a Devolved Scottish Parliament.
We know as a double indemnity they gave us a voting system that made it virtually impossible for any one Party to gain a majority.
Do not kid yourselves for a nano second that it was anything about a fair voting system or to improve democracy.
The truth is it was the exact opposite, it was to suppress democracy at any time in the future should they lose their stranglehold over Scotland.
The D’Hondt system of voting was to ensure if the SNP gained in popularity their chances of ever forming an administration would be highly unlikely.
The Labour Party and the sleekit Liberals expected they would rule in perpetuity.
We all now know how that worked out for them.
Tony Blair has since openly admitted he regrets ever having agreed to Scottish Devolution.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/tony-blair/11839841/Tony-Blair-admits-mistake-over-Scottish-devolution.html
The next time any Labourites tries to claim credit for Holyrood and Devolution keep in mind their true motives.
It has always been about protecting the Labour Party and Westminster sovereignty.
What it was never meant to do was give the SNP a power base to strive towards Scottish Independence.
When the time comes and the Tories move to close our Parliament post Brexit do not expect to see Labour or Liberal House-Jock MSPs and MPs in the trenches beside you fighting to save our democracy.

What has been noticeable in Holyrood since 1999 is with each new Branch Manager, British Labour in Scotland manage to find one more incompetent and more useless than the previous one.
It really is fitting that the latest SLAB Branch Manager’s name can be shortened to Dick.
Every Thursday at FMQ he reminds us of a punch drunk boxer that always leads with his chin.
The First Minister ‘technically’ knocks him out in Round 1 every time.
I am sure he is a very decent human being and I truly believe his heart is in the right place.
His problem it seems is his brain seems to be in his backside because he keeps talking out of it!
When the time comes to replace him do not be surprised if true to form they find one even more useless.
Looking at the dregs on their benches I do not see a saviour among them.
The other two Britnat squatter parties have not fared much better despite what the foreign owned press said about Ruthie.
Even if that were true she is now gone and looking at the possible replacements I doubt Nicola Sturgeon is losing any sleep.

Until 2007 Westminster had not followed the British Unionist trait in Holyrood of replacing one diddy with a bigger diddy!
Then Tony Blair was pushed out of No.10 by that poor excuse for a human being Toom Tabbard Brown.
Just as the SNP was was taking control of Scotland the worst ever PM in Union history (to date)stole the keys to Downing St.
No need to go over his embarrassing and terrible tenure as PM when he was eventually booted out by the voters in 2010 everyone in UK heaved a sigh of relief.
Nobody thought that anyone could be more ineffective or incompetent than Brown as PM.
Then we had our first ever ‘hold my beer moment’ enter, Posh Boy Cameron.
Everything that is so wrong with UK today is down to Dave boy and his pandering to the Tory right wing nutters.
We all know that after his disastrous Brexit fiasco he had to go but surely this time the Tories wouldn’t inflict us with anyone more useless than Cameron😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳.
How wrong were we, Big Tessa May someone that makes Japanese home robots seem human.
I loathe and despise Tories however even I at times felt a twinge of pity for this incompetent useless waste of space.
The woman was so far out of her depth that the famous No10 became known as Drowning Street.
The RNLI opened a station in Whitehall and Brussels to try and save her every time she stepped into the public domain.
The most used phrase in the English language became ‘she has to go!’
We had slithered down a steep embankment from Blair to this poor woman May it surely couldn’t get any worse?
Step forward, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
I have to declare an interest as an SNP voter and supporter, these incompetents have increased support for Scottish Independence.
Cameron by his actions and his EVEL statement on 19/09/ 2014 helped increase the SNP membership from 25,000 to 125,000 and our MPs from 6 to 56
Theresa May’s antics pushed many soft No voters into the arms of the Yes Movement.
Her disdainful manner towards Scotland, our FM and our MPs enraged even moderate minded Scots.
However, this latest Etonian eejit will certainly be the final piece of the Scottish Independence jigsaw.
I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that many people throughout the UK fear that we are heading towards a fascist rogue UK state.
While many PMs of the Union have been less than competent or honest none have flagrantly been willing to break the law.
No PM ever before has been caught red handed lying to the English monarch and bringing her so directly into the political limelight.
I think it is fair to say he is a danger to the very existence of the monarchy and also to our Parliamentary democracy.
Everything he has touched has been a disaster.
He has lost all but one vote in the Commons since being elevated to leader of the Conservative Party.
His most moderate MPs have either been expelled from the Party or sent themselves to the back benches.
The already virulent English MSM are feeling emboldened to be ever more extreme with their headlines and opinion pieces.
The top Law Lords in the land are being attacked for daring to actually protect the rule of law.
The right-wing zealots that said they wanted to leave the EU to bring all laws back to UK have quickly decided they do not like UK law much either.
The British Union is on the verge of revolution and this PM and his coterie are responsible for anything that happens from here on in.
Female MPs concerns and fear of violence are dismissed as ‘humbug.’
The decisions of the Supreme Court are dismissed as wrong.
The will of Parliament is to be ignored.
Anyone that is paying attention can see where this is heading.
The corrupt Broadcasters and Media may be hiding the truth from the non political public for now, that is impossible in the long term.
Scotland has an escape route, yesterday the FM gave her biggest hint yet the the time is coming.
First Minister I beg you do not wait too long, we are running out of time.
Name the day, we the people will make sure independence happens.
Things could deteriorate in UK very quickly we need to get out fast.
There is a huge army of Scottish patriots ready to campaign for our independence all they need is the referendum!
Over to you Nicola.
