johnrobertson834

By NMRN RISHI Sunak has mentioned “Scottish Nationalists” in a major speech referring to the “extremist” threats facing the UK…..meanwhile we are all old enough to remember when the Tories, under Theresa May as PM, sought an agreement with the DUP. Where she made an “Extreme” kind of decision in giving one billion pounds, as a bribe to the DUP, in return for their support in the HOC to help her government win/pass votes in there………post the 2017 GE when she , as the new Tory leader, lost them their Tory majority that they, as a party, previously had before she called that 2017 … Continue reading Extremists?

Scotland’s climate targets and achievements – beware of rhetoric’s negative influence

johnrobertson834

By stewartb Back on 23 April this year, the BBC News website had the headline: ‘Scotland in ‘dangerous’ moment for climate goals’. Following an appearance before a Holyrood committee by Chris Stark, the outgoing CEO of the UK Climate Change Committee, the BBC reported Mr Stark’s remarks on Scottish Government targets: ‘THERE WAS NO POLICY PACKAGE THAT COULD DELIVER ANYTHING CLOSE TO THE NINE-FOLD INCREASE IN DECARBONISATION LEVELS NEEDED TO HIT THAT GOAL.’ (my emphasis) viz. reducing greenhouse gases by 75% by 2030. Within its process of annual reviews, when did the CCC first reach that conclusion – just recently? … Continue reading Scotland’s climate targets and achievements – beware of rhetoric’s negative influence

Never mind Sir Keir, will Anas Sarwar’s mum let him transfer wealth to workers?

johnrobertson834

By Professor John Robertson I fear Labour in Scotland are going to campaign as if they’re kind of leftist. The media are going to cover the tracks between them and their London HQ and some voters are going to swallow it. I don’t think I’ve seen words so detached from reality, so ‘down a rabbit hole‘, since I last read Lewis Carroll (1959?). What’s this go to do with his mum? Just this, from last year: ANAS Sarwar has been branded a hypocrite after it was revealed his family’s wholesale business still does not pay staff the living wage. Sarwar … Continue reading Never mind Sir Keir, will Anas Sarwar’s mum let him transfer wealth to workers?

Labour MP & Shadow Cabinet member David Lammy described TORY ex PM Margaret Thatcher as “visionary”…..Oh aye … Continue reading Not being fully informed and up to date on what New New Labour really are

The WASPI women will not be so easily taken in as some in Scotland were in 2014

johnrobertson834

BY NMRN 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 … Continue reading The WASPI women will not be so easily taken in as some in Scotland were in 2014

Labour ‘change’ – just a cheap vapid campaign slogan created by someone behind the scenes

johnrobertson834

By NMRN The reason Sir Keir Starmer & the Labour party at HQ do not want call for just a (immediate) ceasefire (without always instead having to add a prefix prior to the word ‘ceasefire) is that it appears they do not want to ‘Bite (one of the many) Hand(s) that feeds them’ (funds them)…. Last year in June it was reported that “The UK Labour Party’s latest corporate mega-donor is a pro-Israel businessman whose company profited from South African apartheid” where in a report in The Financial Times which stated that “their new megadonor. a multimillionaire , donated £5 million ($6.29m) to become the party’s biggest donor and one … Continue reading Labour ‘change’ – just a cheap vapid campaign slogan created by someone behind the scenes

So it’s political blackmail now is it from Sarwar?

johnrobertson834

By NMRN “Scottish Labour would use the money raised from closing the non-dom tax loophole in the UK to slash NHS waiting lists in Scotland, Anas Sarwar will pledge“ Does that mean that this ‘pledge’ from Sarwar would ONLY happen if Scotland voted Labour in Scotland at the next Holyrood elections and they were elected as the next Scottish government…..as the above quote stated “Scottish Labour would use the money”…….and not…..the Scottish government (meaning existing one) could have extra money for say the NHS for example….. I think we all know that if there is a Labour government at WM and the SNP are … Continue reading So it’s political blackmail now is it from Sarwar?
