Scareforce One Makes Day Trip To Aberdeen

Oh! Did he rush off again?

Spoke to a few carefully-chosen reporters and headed south again, Lily. He wouldn't dare meet any ordinary Scots, let alone Alex Salmond.



The day that happens, the sun will rise in the west.   

        

He's not yellow is he?   

Very yellow indeed, Lily.

I hadn't intended to have a thread about the Independence referendum till considerably nearer to September. However, the spectacle of Cameron making a choreographed visit to his last colony to tell us that we're the only nation on earth that would be worse off if we had control of our own oil revenues was just too much for me.

After all, he's busy telling the Ukraine what to do, when he won't speak to the Scottish government.     

You mean he's doing the magician's trick?          

This is Cameron's idea of good politics:

Speaking during a visit to Aberdeen, Mr Cameron described the glee he felt at Bowie's intervention and said the music icon's message could influence alienated voters.

"I was watching the Brit Awards and when I saw Kate Moss leap to the stage and utter those words I have to say I did let out a little cry of joy," Mr Cameron said.
"I'm sure that maybe someone like David Bowie might be able to reach parts of Scotland that perhaps I can't."

Yes, the spectacle of an English, multi-millionaire tax exile telling Scots what to do via a rather raddled, stoner model really helped his cause no end.      

.......and for my next trick.....

          

He has absolutely no idea, Lily. I should think the reporters in Aberdeen struggled to keep straight faces at the thought of Cameron's Little cry of joy.

Do you think he's hoping to do a duet with Bowie?         

He is beginning to sound a bit desperate to me. And I'm not daft. If it's good for England then it won't be doing Scotland any favours.

And why can't Scotland have The Poond? Southern Ireland had The Punt until they joined The EU.
I can remember a time when English traders wouldn't accept my Bank of Scotland banknotes because they wuz furrin.

What a hoot if the Scottish Poond turned out to worth more than an English Pound. Oh what a laugh I would have.

It already is, Sabot. Every time a Scots bank prints, say, a £10 note, then £10 has to be deposited with the Bank of England. Real money backs up Scots banknotes.

It's going to be an interesting year.....

No wonder Scotland wants out.

It doesn't seem to have sunk in with Cameron that a lot of the good people of England would like out, too, Lily, but have nowhere to go except UKIP.

I have never seen a UK government help in such contempt by so many people before - Cameron and his chums don't seem to care about anything or anyone outside the M25 corridor.

They don't do they? They just seem so weak and ineffective?

Congratulations to Cameron, yet again, he's succeeded in annoying everyone. Even the pro-Union Record is up in arms about yesterday's stunt:



What's the opposite of the Midas touch?     

The Bennett one?

There was the most appalling, well, rammy, on STV last night, between the deputy first minister, and Ms Lamont, leader of the Labour party (unionist division) in Scotland.

Yes, she really did say this:



- We're not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions. - Johann Lamont, leader of the Scottish Labour Party.

I don't have the words.....

You know what her agenda is then?

Yes, to go crawling to whoever is in power in London and end up as Lady Joanna of the Rotten Teeth with a cosy seat in the Lords. It was dreadful - no wonder so much of the Labour party here has split from the likes of her.

That should give the campaign a boost, then. Own goal if you ask me. And deeply insulting.

Major boost. Is she the poster girl for the party?        

Some of us have to suffer another seven months of this before we vote YES you know.

I had no intention of inflicting a Referendum thread on anyone until that w@nker Cameron went poncing around on an oil rig and revealed we had a trillion+ barrels of oil knocking around off our shores.

But uniquely, in the entire world, the Scots are too stupid to use oil money to the benefit of Scots.

As opposed to p*ssing it up against the wall in the City of London and similar dives.

Well I am interested now, Bonny. I have great affection for Scotland and would now be living there if I could have afforded to buy a house.
My days in Glasgow were some of the best in my life, and not to forget The Highlands where I also spent some time.
