Well if you, like Jackie Baillie, were pictured standing beside WASPI women and a banner that says ‘WASPI West Dunbartonshire’…..then you as a politician representing that area had better be prepared to follow through and continue to promote their WASPI cause…..more so when or if Labour are elected as the next UK Government……because the WASPI women will not go away, will never give up their fight and irrespective of who holds the public purse as the UK Government …well WASPI women will look to them for compensation and to redress the injustice that has happened because of a UK government and also while under the watch of a UK government.

Jackie cannot do, in this instance, what she usually does and try to involve the SNP in this matter in suggesting they should offer some compensation to these women in Scotland….as WASPI women are very well clued up as to who is ultimately responsible for this injustice and thus who should be the actual ones paying out the compensation to them…..be it on her , Baillie’s, own head if she does attempt to try and play politics with this…..as it will end very badly for both her and her party……as of all the current issues this is the one she, Baillie, will not be able to gaslight or apply a smokescreen upon if she somehow suggests the SNP have a responsibility in this to the WASPI women in Scotland…….as WASPI women will know only too well that is sh*te.

So Jackie has now put her head above the parapet in declaring she supports WASPI women and their fight for compensation…..and now she cannot back down……so some photo ops can come back and bite you……as if Labour do win the next GE she, Baillie, will have to now be prepared to fight for WASPI women against her own HQ party….as will many other Labour politicians who also came out to support WASPI women when the Tories were in charge……so nowhere for them to hide either……this will define who is really working on behalf of the people and who is really always working on behalf of their own party…..always and only…..so if you talk the talk then you better be prepared to walk the walk…..this should be interesting post the next GE for the Labour HQ party…….if they do indeed win the next GE. (and also for the branch office in Scotland)…..

BTW no amount of excuses from Labour on them as a new government having no money because of the previous Tory government’s fiscal irresponsibility…..as currently they, Labour, are using a slogan that promotes that they will be a government for “change” and a “Fresh start”……so in them adopting austerity policies it will only prove that they, Labour, are anything but a “Change” or a “Fresh start”…..instead they will be a “change” in party name only as the new UK government…..but in all else they will be seen to be adopting a ‘continuation’ of what we the public have suffered under for far too long with the Tories as the UK Govt……proving that slogans are indeed empty and not to be trusted……we in Scotland , via Labour, have been there already with their campaigning slogans…..and we have proof that they were indeed empty and also too easily broken…..as in the slogan that assured us that we Scotland would be Better Together as part of their UK…..but that has, since 2014, for Scotland been an out and out lie.

I know the WASPI women will not be so easily taken in as some in Scotland were in 2014…..so WASPI as an outstanding injustice , together with other outstanding injustices awaiting compensation, such as the Infected blood scandal where in December 2023 “the TORY government had said it was still not in a position to make a final decision on compensation for the victims of the infected blood scandal”.…..and too many of the victims of the Windrush scandal were reported last year as “still facing long waits and inadequate offers of compensation, according to a new report by a global human rights group”.….plus the victims of the Post Office scandal were in 2024 reported as still not receiving full justice as “more than 4,000 people in total have been told they are eligible for compensation. But the schemes they need to access in order to receive remuneration for their suffering can be long-winded and complicated“.

My guess is that the Tories will drag all of the above outstanding injustices and all outstanding compensation matters out until the GE…and if Labour do win then it will be them, Labour HQ, who will have to deal with it all……let’s then see how they deal with these injustices and outstanding compensation issues…..oh and also how they , New New Labour HQ, will manage to supposedly try to ‘Make Brexit work’……

So perhaps Scotland does need to see the New New Labour HQ in action as the next UK Government…… for some (majority) in Scotland to then finally realise and also see just how much ‘Nothing will (actually) “change” for the better……irrespective of who is in charge of their UK as a government !

As Theresa May once said ‘Nothing has changed” and Foulkes once said “they are doing it deliberately too”…..and that I think is what more of us will say in Scotland once we endure a Labour HQ government in charge of the UK……

Pre-empt all of that by voting for the SNP in the next GE…..who at least will, as MP’s, try to fight for Scotland and ultimately eventually help us win our justified and deserving independence from their Labour/Tory/Lib Dem/UKIP/Reform UK party/Reclaim party/Workers party of Britain and also other rogue parties….. UK state ( a right state it is in too….. in more ways than one……as the word ‘wing’ comes into it too…LOL).
