Lord Ashcroft – why did he decide to acquire the Holyrood magazine ?

Anonymous

It appears though that Labour in Scotland’s leader (of sorts) Anas Sarwar is the bees knees as in yet another trolling (or comedy) exercise by media (of sorts) who dislike the SNP so much, that we now find out that, Anas Sarwar has been named as the “MSP of the year”, by the Holyrood Magazine (now owned by Tory Lord Ashcroft) in their yearly magazine political (of sorts) awards (of sorts) ceremony.

Anas Sarwar tweeted in response to ‘winning’ this award (of sorts):

“Thanks @HolyroodDaily for the MSP of the year award”.

“Over 3 years, we’ve changed Scottish Labour so we can deliver the change our country needs”.

“Economic growth has to be the driver of that change – delighted to receive the business award alongside @djohnsonMSP and @michaeljmarra”

Well that tweet from him confuses me as it tends to read as if he was the current Scottish FM and that he has then succeeded and delivered economic growth for Scotland.

Also perhaps him mentioning the word “Change” more than once in his tweet in relation to his party is a tad ridiculous and fake when we see how no “Change” has happened (as promised) via Labour UK now that they are the new UK government.

However the Judges (of sorts) stated:

“Sarwar had overseen a dramatic revival in his party’s fortunes in Scotland, while continuing to put pressure on the Scottish Government at Holyrood”.

(The Judges missed a trick they could have easily said Sarwar has brought about “Change” for the Labour party thus repeating and endorsing Labour’s (empty) and far too repetitively boring slogan, which as a slogan is , for the public, now at the ‘enough already’ stage ).

Reality of course is that it was actually the pro UK media (of sorts) in Scotland who won Labour their increased seats at WM.

They did this in (over) promoting Sarwar and the Labour party and also their (empty) slogans and their so called political messages (Lies) in Scotland (to Scotland) while simultanously attacking the SNP as a party and as the current Scottish government .

So it really really really was they, the media (of sorts) in Scotland, who won Labour more seats in the recent GE and so not really Sarwar or Labour here or Labour UK (or their so called UK party leader).

Plus surely the Judges or this magazine could have also given some recognition , via an award, to the BBC in Scotland’s huge political contribution (interference and propaganda) in the recent GE on behalf of the Labour party too (another trick missed by these Judges).

The pro UK media (of sorts) in Scotland also amplified/repeated all that Sarwar said against the SNP and the Scottish government .

While they also applied and contributed to what was a media (of sorts) combined political pressure upon the Scottish government and also upon the SNP as a party in what seemed very very very much like an orchestrated vendetta by them all.

While that same media (of sorts) protected Sarwar and Labour from much of their media criticism and scrutiny .

While also, as a media (of sorts), failing to expose Sarwar and Labour’s hypocrisy and ignoring their obvious double standards in respect to the weak performance of their political party in Wales as the devolved Welsh government.

Then they, Holyrood magazine, also awarded “former deputy first minister Lord Wallace of Tankerness the Lifetime Achievement (of sorts) gong”.

What is a peerage for him not enough as a sufficient reward that they then feel they must also award him some pointless gong to further troll us via these (also) pointless Political comedy awards ?

(Token awards given -infrequently- to the SNP-by them- not for balance- but just as a pretence that this political (of sorts) magazine is not too partisan or too politically bias in their yearly supposed political awards(of sorts)).

To complete or rather continue with some of the obvious trolling from the Holyrood magazine’s (comedy) awards (of sorts) they also had:

“Other winners that included former Scottish Conservatives leader Jackson Carlaw for Speaker of the Year and Lib Dem MP Wendy Chamberlain, who picked up the Best Scot at Westminster award”

Pity then that Jackson had not spoken up when Douglas Ross stole the leadership from him in Scotland. (or at least spoken more honestly in admitting that he was ousted as leader and so did not actually resign that post willingly).

“Best Scot at WM” I mean surely to ‘win’ (sorta) that, you have to at least have faith in your own country’s ability to be able to be a successful independent country?

As opposed to being a ‘Scot’ who campaigned for your country to be forever beholden to and under the rule of another country (same fake country that is leeching off your country via it’s vast and rich resources etc) .

Or does being “best Scot at WM” mean you being seen as the most subservient to WM and also to the UK state . In you, as an MP, being complicit and agreeable to the UK leeching from your actual country, Scotland.

(Surely then Wendy C would not be the sole ‘winner’ of this as the ‘Best Scot’ at WM).

But wait for further trolling/comedy value they also had an award (of sorts) for “Russell Findlay Tory MSP (and a current candidate for Tory leadership (of sorts) in Scotland) as an award (of sorts) for the – wait for it- “one to watch”.

“One to watch” well that is only right in the sense that some of the stunts he, Findlay, has pulled could be filed under ‘dubious behaviour that should be considered unfit as behaviour for a politician (of sorts)’ .

So yes he , Findlay, does need watching (officially that is).

He, Findlay, once posted on Twitter a picture of himself holding a merkin (look it up)  with a group of people in a pub, including one Elaine Miller, she, Miller, had flashed wearing a merkin in the Scottish Parliament , from the gallery, following the conclusion of the last debate on the GRR bill.

Tories and Labour always willing to jump onto any (grievous) bandwagon that is against the SNP as a party and also very much against them as the Scottish government.

Then we also see those who are are a part of that ‘bandwagon’ more than willing to oblige in welcoming, both or either , any Labour or Tory MSP’s onboard what is basically their anti SNP or anti independence political vehicle badly disguised, at times, as a supposed social issue.

I would not give an award to magazines like the Holyrood magazine (acquired by the likes of Tory Lord Ashcroft) who pretend that they are, as a political magazine, those who are politically neutral but their Editor (of sorts) likes to prove otherwise via her questionable, at times, contribution’s to the political debate.

As how could you ever give an award for anything from the likes of them ??

Read up on Lord Ashcroft and then think why on earth did he decide to acquire the Holyrood magazine ?

Why indeed ?

  1. Upon hearing the FITB name “Lord” Ashcroft,

    what’s the first thought to enter your head …!

    Should it be unprintable, better “keep it to ourselves”!

    Like

  2. What I think of he, whose Daddy bought his ‘Leadership’ of labour

    and who has never earned any deserved plaudits etc.

    Sarwar, a man of such sleekitness, no one should ever ask the right time!

    Tactics mirroring English Multi-Millionaire Leader, Starmer

    who was only too pleased to appoint

    Multi-Millionaire Sarwar

    as Manager of the English Labour Party Branch Office IN Scotland,

    on the understanding that bowing/scraping/kowtowing to his

    English betters/Masters in England

    was a pre-requisite of the temporary position.

    Was.is there no (lingering) anger within that Party, of how such a Leadership came to happen?

    NOT a trace of ‘labour’ about the bunch!

  3. Ashcroft the criminal tax evader. Supports the union so he can tax evade with impunity because the unionists approve. No one reads the Holyrood Magazine now Unionist propaganda. Ashcroft the pollster always gets it wrong. Censored and fined many times. Gerrymandering to make criminal gains. Fraudster.
