Labour exceptionalism

Where we the public are expected to believe that only Labour in Wales, and now also Labour as the new UK government, have difficult barriers/obstacles that they alone must overcome because of the failings of others but never ever is it to be regarded as a failing(s) by their own hand.

Yet alternatively , Scotland, whose government has the same status as Labour in Wales, as in they too are a devolved government , are somehow , as a Scottish devolved government, those who must accept 100% liability and all blame for any obstacles and barriers that they have been faced with and still are faced with , via decisions made (imposed), by the supposed ‘Big Daddy of all governments within the UK’ as in the UK government, both the former Tory one and now too the new Labour one as well.

Both Scotland and Wales are devolved governments but apparently it is only Labour in Wales who are to be considered as the only devolved government within the UK who were the real Victims of the former cruel Tory UK government .

While Scotland apparently avoided their cruel Tory actions and decisions as the former Tory UK government and so they , as a Scottish government, are then to be seen as the sole cause of any problems that existed and still exist within their own country.

What’s that saying again that goes ‘If you believe that then I have a Castle to sell you’.

Indeed Anas Sarwar said recently on the BBC Reporting Scotland that the “SNP always blame someone else”.

This he, Sarwar, said after the UK GE , when we saw a succession of Labour MP’s (both sides of the border) and the new Labour Chancellor and the Labour PM all doing the media rounds and blaming their government cuts and their Labour decision to sustain the Tory two child cap all on the previous Tory UK government’s financial mismanagement (also known as a supposed financial ‘Black Hole’ ).

The problem with the media (ITO) in Scotland is that they always seem to be more than willing to concur with the message that is promoted by one side only, and in promoting only their message they are then seen to only attack the other side , who are then always those who must be seen to defend themselves.

One side being the pro UK political side and the ‘other side’ being the SNP/Scottish government.

So how do we then manage to “awaken the electorate in Scotland to the duplicitous ways of the British Labour Party before the 2026 Holyrood election“

As it seems all of our efforts online on this very blog and others blogs too has fallen on deaf Scottish electorate ears (or rather on their eyes if they have ever read this and other blogs) hence why Labour in Scotland got 37 MP’s elected in the recent GE.

As if this truly is the ‘Digital age’ then I suggest with the media’s input in Scotland (or rather their output) many in Scotland must be sourcing too much of their information and trust in MSM instead of seeking alternate opinions, facts and information online hence their , some of the Scottish electorate, electing Labour MP’s in Scotland in July this year.

Only with a wider (broader) source of acquired knowledge can one truly make an informed decision, as too is the ‘lived experience’ a great indicator of how ‘good or bad’ life is , as both a citizen of a UK government and of a Scottish government.

I know which government I have had the best and also the most benefits from as a citizen , and it has never ever been via a UK government that I have benefitted most from, in fact it is the opposite, as in I have only derived negative experiences from the various UK government(s) while Scotland has been a part of the UK.

(In fact they, the various UK governments, make promises and pledges pre being elected , then when elected, all of those promises and pledges are broken via them making weak and predictable excuses to avoid fulfilling their promises and pledges).

Then of course they also deploy the ‘Blame game‘ in them naming others as those responsible for their own failing in not delivering all that they said they would, pre them being elected .

While the media (ITO) in Scotland turns a combined ‘Blind eye’ to this pattern of behaviour from Pro UK Political parties. As instead they prefer to choose to focus all of their media (ITO) attention upon rehashed stories that they link onto the SNP while platforming the SNP’s political opponents opinions against the SNP as the Scottish government.

A rinse and repeat exercise that is weary inducing for us in Scotland who support both Indy parties, like the SNP , and also independence. As we have to then (be expected to) tolerate this intolerable injustice being a repeated situation from all of them against all of us.

So in this instance I believe the phrase ‘Duck that’ is more than apt for the likes of them.

2026 will be a defining moment in that it will show who in Scotland is willing to still either ‘give’ or ‘lend’ their vote to those Labour politicians whose party , as the current UK government, have badly let them down as UK citizens.

Will, in 2026, some in Scotland prove that they they are indeed “too stupid”.

I really really hope not.
