Labour's "conversion" to Independence
So, David Cairns MP will today tell Scotland that it's okay, we ARE capable of being Independent after all. Oh well then - thanks very much David! But tell me, why the change of heart? Until now your party has spent its time telling us that it would be folly to go it alone. That we, alone amongst the countries of the world, were incapable of running our own affairs. Indeed you spent a fair bit of money on producing some horrific images of the "nightmare" we'd be living if we had the temerity to make our own decisions. So the turnaround can only be down to one of two options. Either:
*You are a very slow learner, and I mean VERY slow
or
*You knew all along that Scotland was no different to the rest of the world and was more than capable of running her own affairs.
If the former, that's not your fault, we're born with the intelligence that we're born with - but maybe it's best you find a new job as we need fast learners when it comes to running countries.
If the latter, you lied and THAT really would be your fault. It wasn't a little lie, not even a white lie, it was a huge lie that has been perpetuated by the likes of you on the people of your country for decades. We don't just need fast learners, we need honest people running our country.
I realise you didn't intend this to happen but I hope and believe your endorsement of Independence will accelerate the process and before long, our SNP Government will lead us to full Independence and we can continue to govern with integrity, with honesty and ALWAYS for the people of Scotland.

I like your blog by the way - only met you once )and I was drunk!) but you seem rilly nice and cool.... (Comment this)
I don’t welcome this statement at all, It’s not for Labour to tell us that “we could, maybe… just about survive” as an independent country, they’ve peddled lies and myths for a generation and held Scotland back.
Independence IS happening already despite Labour and their generation of liars and hypocrites

After all, David Cairns is the same guy who just a few Saturday mornings ago on BBC Radio Scotland, dismissed the interviewer's pointing out that Labour lost control in Scotland at the last Scottish election, by retorting that Labour 'is still in control in Scotland' because 'we'still ruled at Westminster.
In other words, for him the whole devolution thing, right down to national elections, is really all just a bit of a show to keep the locals 'under control'? I don't accept,
the face of it, that someone with that kind of outlook is then credible when he spins a line about Scotland being able to control it's own destiny. If he does believe that, then it makes his control from Westmister mindset, to say the very least, distinctly self-serving and pretty amoral. (Comment this)
