Punished and not rewarded because we voted to stay

Here is another story linked to another UK party that, so far, the BBC have avoided on their website, yet as a situation it is shocking for Scotland and devolution, but it’s not surprising it’s being neglected by the BBC, as let’s not forget this is the BBC we are talking about (or writing about) and it also relates to the Tories.

So firstly there is this:

On the 1 October JK Rowling responded to someone asking her about Nicola Sturgeon and her new role in giving a masterclass on women’s leadership.

Rowling’s response “I learned not to ask why there was £400k missing from the accounts or why my husband had three coffee machines. I can also teach you how to delete WhatsApp messages, say “no comment” to police and “launch” non-operational ferries! (Pro tip: don’t forget the fake funnels!)’”

Funny that, because coincidentally the UK media seems to have “learned” not to ask why Rowling wrote this below prior to the 2014 Independence Referendum and why it now seems to be proven as being a load of old cobblers.

She wrote:

“ I’ve heard it said that ‘we’ve got to leave, because they’ll punish us if we don’t’, but my guess is that if we vote to stay, we will be in the heady position of the spouse who looked like walking out, but decided to give things one last go. All the major political parties are currently wooing us with offers of extra powers, keen to keep Scotland happy so that it does not hold an independence referendum every ten years and cause uncertainty and turmoil all over again. I doubt whether we will ever have been more popular, or in a better position to dictate terms, than if we vote to stay”.

Because now Scotland is in the precarious position of being punished and not rewarded because we (some of us) voted “to stay”.

Where it now seems that none of the major , or new rogue parties, are currently “wooing us” but many of them are threatening us and our devolution.

In fact “Keeping Scotland happy” does not seem to be at the top of their agenda as that would mean that they actually would have to care about us, which clearly they do not.

As to “uncertainty and turmoil” well if Rowling thinks that there has been certainty and stability since 2014 then I suggest she , like others, is (intentionally) deluding herself , all because she supports the UK State, but also with her vast wealth then she does not experience the same negative impact as us ordinary folk in Scotland so, what with the many cruel and bad decisions that have been taken by various UK governments since 2014.

We , Scotland, are seemingly more “unpopular” and are definitely not in any “position”, as a nation within the UK, to “dictate terms” as clearly the “terms” , of the UK State, are being “dictated” to us, like for example the restrictive (for Scotland) UK Internal Market.

Now it seems that the Tories seem emboldened to actually shout out loud their plans for Scotland and devolution, if , that is, they are elected in the next GE .

Today one of English newspapers that is distributed in Scotland wrote:

“Tory leader (Badenoch) will review Scotland Act” , and that this “move signals the end (of what they say is) the Devolve and forget” system (that they say currently exists) and that they, the Tories, will “Consider withdrawing powers from Holyrood” .

Yesterday at the Tory Conference Andrew Bowie , Shadow Energy Security Secretary aka Tory HQ puppet, declared this:

“A new Tory government will legislate for new nuclear power in Scotland” and he told ministers of the Scottish government to “bring it on” if they “object”.

He also said that in relation to Nuclear power in Scotland that “We will legislate to get it done – no more Mr Nice Guy, no more devolve and forget”.

Obviously Bowie is going through another phase where he seems somewhat ‘mad with power’ , because HQ have singled him out as a YES man , who as a HQ YES man , will do HQ’s bidding irrespective of the negative and detrimental consequences to the country that he was elected in as a constitutional MP, i.e. Scotland.

This also exposes Rowling’s fantasy words prior to the 2014 Scottish independence Referendum as pure hokum, which we all knew anyway, as clearly what is happening to Scotland is that we are being punished for (some of us) voting NO to independence in 2014 , as opposed to us , and our country, being rewarded for that inexplicable and undeniably wrong and bad decision that was made by some in 2014.

Lies , fantasy and project Fear being the order of the day via BT NO’s campaign.

Funny how certain billionaire’s and their money, think that they can say what they want , whenever they want in order to try to get what they want , yet when it comes to remorse in accepting that they were wrong , well that does not happen, as still they are defiant in then continuing to campaign against the SNP and also campaigning for Scotland to stay within the UK.

Why ?

Well based on what has and is still happening to Scotland , then it is clearly for Scotland to continue to be the abused “spouse who looked like walking out, but decided to give things one last go”.

Though now it seems that the abused “spouse” just has to like it or lump it , as after they “decided to give things one last go” they, as the abused “spouse” are now being kept in this supposed ‘Union’ against their will.

BTW the BBC website , on their main Scotland page and Scottish politics page currently have no articles on Bowie’s speech that included a threat to ride roughshod over devolved powers in Scotland where they as Tories intend to impose nuclear power stations onto Scotland.

Nor does the BBC have anything upon what Kemi Badenoch has declared in what she plans to do to Scotland and our devolved powers , as in remove some of those powers from Holyrood, if the Tories win the next GE .

No surprise that they, the BBC, have omitted to highlight both Bowie’s and Badenoch’s planned dictator like impositions which they intend to thrust upon Scotland, as that is clearly a situation that would then be, for Scots, a very much #ToryBad.
