Here’s something that the UK MSM will make a big thing about, indeed they have already started. It is a book , soon to be released , that will not be given such a negative and critical reception as Ms Sturgeon’s book was given, that’s for sure.

Indeed, I anticipate a media and political feeding frenzy…..with Sarwar and others rubbing their hands in glee, so job done then Ms Cherry.

Joanna Cherry’s new book is to be released next week.

Already some anti independence newspapers have done some #SNPBAD articles based upon her book, that includes this from The Telegraph:

“A shocking exposé of Nicola’ Sturgeon’s ‘Cult like’ SNP rule”

Then the non Scottish Sun wrote a quote :

“Nicola Sturgeon’s cronies dubbed me a bitch, claims Joanna Cherry”

The Times wrote “Joanna Cherry: I’ve quit the SNP and I’m ashamed of them”.

Joanna told the Sun newspaper that her “enemies within the party tried so hard to bully me out of the party”. Which she said was “in the hope that she would leave ” but she said she would “not give them the satisfaction of leaving”.

Hmm , well that’s her version , but did they not want her to “leave” because she was actually actively, as in publicly, condemning and opposing her party and also attacking a Scottish FM and leader of her party , as in she was openly constantly attacking them while she was still an SNP MP.

She lost her seat in 2024 as I suspect many of her constituents found it impossible to vote for her as an SNP candidate when obviously she herself was not supportive of the party that she was standing for.

(Surely she could have stood down in 2024 as an SNP candidate, or stood for another party, if they, the SNP, were as bad as she now says they were in her new book).

The timing of this book being published prior to the Scottish elections in May is no coincidence , also the irony of the title of this book being called “Keeping the Dream Alive” ends up a tad self defeatist considering that apparently much of it’s contents may actually kill the dream from happening for a long long time .

I say this because the SNP , as a party, are strongly identified as being a major party supporting Scottish independence. So in her supposed “exposé” of them in her book, that then potentially could cast doubts with voters upon the SNP and also then upon independence itself , which would then also be political ammunition for those who support the UK State.

(How many interviews will she, Ms Cherry, do upon the release of her book, where the UK MSM will ask to be fed ( will gorge upon) as much #SNPBAD as she can possibly give them, so willingly).

Though I read that part of the book deals with “how political reform in Scotland and the revival of the independence cause could take place”.

“revival of the independence cause” , but with no thanks to her and her book, that’s for sure.

Is that supposed “revival” helped by her giving these kind of interviews with The Sun newspaper and other anti independence newspapers also. That’s a unique strategy is it not from Ms Cherry.

Plus it gives political ammunition to the pro UK parties just before the Scottish election , thus potentially killing off any chance to “keep the dream alive” of us achieving our independence for a long long time, if indeed , what will surely be a vast MSM publicity on this book , that then possibly results in negatively impacting the SNP’s votes in May and so then benefitting the pro UK parties.

Surely she is not so naïve to think that in writing this book that it will somehow incite a passion and determination within undecided Scots to then decide to support and so vote for independence in the future.

Nope I suspect this book will not keep the dream alive but instead will kill the dream from happening for a very long time.

Job done thinks the UK State.

Also let’s not forget that in her relating her (version of her) tale that there is also another side who have their version too , and that would be the SNP.

Mind you I am sure that she knows , as one who was formerly an SNP MP, that balance and objectivity is not a virtue or behaviour that we ever see from the MSM either in or outwith Scotland when it comes to the SNP.

Obviously it goes without saying that I will not be buying her ‘book’ of tales…..or is it more really a case of ‘The Tell tale tells Tall tales’ .
