And Prepare to Come out Fighting
Well after Wendy Alexander threw the first punch in the latest round of the Independence referendum fight at the weekend. Which she, backed by her cabinet member brother Douglas, hastily followed up with a call that the SNP were running scared by holding it in 2010. You may be forgiven for thinking that the Nats may have been reeling.
Well they sent out Alex, nope my mistake, the First Minister is not the big hitter on this one, it's Nicola Sturgeon that's been sent out to take this on. She said echoing the chant of Big Daddy in the wrestling ring that the Nats shall not be moved, not even it would appear to bring forward their primary aim to take Scotland forward to independence that bit quicker. They still want to have it in 2010, which looks most likely to be an election year. So the issue may still be buried behind other issues and not given the clear light of day that it needs and deserves to be debated fully.
Nicola accuses Wendy of being desperate. Wendy accuses Nicola of running scared. Looks like the WWE big event may bale beside the build up to this fight at Holyrood.

ReplyDeleteAnd on the undercard of this fight is the amusing featherweight battle of the Lib Dem ideology:
Campaign for an EU referendum in one corner, deny the Scottish people a referendum in the other.
That's definitely more Shirley Crabtree than Hulk Hogan if you ask me!
I cannot argue about you on that undercard at present. There needs be a stance taken on something, anything by our senior leaders in Scotland. However, I feel that that message is starting to get through to them from the grass roots up.
ReplyDeleteA "u-turn" from the Lib Dems on this issue from the grass roots would probably look very attractive, especially given the centralist approach in the Tories and Labour.
