Dear All
The Scottish National Party has run with
the idea that Scotland would enter in a currency union with the rest of the UK
if independence.
Plan A.
Plan A got 'shot to shit' by all three main
opposoition parties who formed a united pact to say No!
And in this case No really does mean No!
Then Salmond made the ill- judged threat to
renege on Scotland’s share of the UK debt by Salmond.
These statements from the SNP who all jumped onboard and blindly
followed Salmond’s disastrous lead show rather starkly you can’t trust Salmond,
you can’t trust Sturgeon and you can’t trust the SNP.
The Greens in the shape of Patrick Harvie
favour a Scottish pound, he got that one right, but in other areas such as
defence, he isn’t credible at all.
Scotland’s ‘jolly fat man’ Alex Salmond
went on the BBC Andrew Marr show and said that not only do the SNP have Plan A,
they also have plan B, C, D, E and F.
Are the plans in the white paper which is
said to be the most comprehensive blue print ever produced?
Given currency is a major consideration; you
would think this type of detail would be contained.
It doesn’t exist!
Having blurred out the A,B,C,D, E and F which
all the SNP have to produce in detailed plans, the SNP have since the interview with
Marr accused the BBC of breaching strict impartiality rules.
Alex Salmond is a laughing stock; no one
believes a word he says except his devoted sycophants and the politically
unaware who are blindly follow his lead.
After the disastrous show for Salmond, the
SNP demand an explanation after Marr appeared to offer a personal view that an
independent Scotland would find it "quite hard to get back in" to the
EU.
This echos what many in the EU in positions
of power are saying, Scotland would have to apply as a new state, and we lose
all the UK opt outs as Westminster holds the EU contract, not Scotland.
In true SNP fashion of shouting down opponents,
Stewart Maxwell MSP and Pete Wishart, the SNP MP and culture spokesman voiced
their disproval.
Wishart went as far as issuing a threat on
twitter that there would be "consequences" for Mr Marr.
The SNP want to deny others free speech and
control and censor the debate, this is serious because it is the way that
fascist parties have operated.
This row erupted as Salmond was quizzed
about the SNP's claim that Scotland would be fast-tracked into the European
Union on the same terms of membership as the UK.
It will never happen, and then before anything
could take place, all the member states have to agree membership.
Last month, European Commission president
Jose Manuel Barroso said he believed it would be nearly impossible for an
independent Scotland to join smoothly as the SNP says will happen.
He compared the country's situation with Kosovo,
which has not been recognised as a state by Spain.
During the interview Marr told Mr Salmond
he had been "quite surprised by how incredibly steely and sure" Mr
Barroso had been.
He said:
"He was absolutely adamant in private
and in public on the sofa that it would not happen and he said he was speaking
for many other big European heads. I wonder why you regard this as yet more
unionist bluster - he had no particular dog in this fight."
Salmond said:
"I think perhaps he has", and
repeated then claims Mr Barroso's remarks were part of a campaign to become
Secretary General of NATO.
So Salmond is questioning the integrity of
the European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso without any evidence.
That rather shows the true nature of
Salmond.
Salmond added that Barroso "was
sucking up to London in order to advance that process".
Then came the bit the SNP objected to, as
the exchange continued, Marr said:
"I think it would be quite hard to get
back in, I have to say."
Then the angry Salmond of old emerged to
confront Marr by digging him up for providing an "Andrew Marr
analysis".
Salmond said:
"Is that an individual expression or
is that an expression of the BBC?"
Marr said:
"No it's not. I've got no views on
this, nor does the BBC."
A spokeswoman for the First Minister said:
"Though the specific comment made was
surprising, the First Minister responded at the time and we do not intend to
complain about a programme we were represented on. The BBC face a more generic
issue in relation to referendum coverage that has been highlighted by
independent academic research, and it is for the BBC to explain their overall approach."
Well, it appears after Salmond put his foot
in it, the SNP want to backtrack, given Andrew Marr has recovered from a
stroke, and the Scottish National Party members have a history of attacking people with disabilities, perhaps Salmond didn’t want to continue
down the same road travelled by Glasgow SNP deputy leader Billy McAllister.
One thing is certain, the plans that are
said to exist will have to be fully published and they will be gone through
with a fine tooth comb.
Plan A is dead.
Last night a BBC spokeswoman said:
"Andrew himself made it clear on air
that he had not been intending to express a personal opinion or that of the
BBC, but was simply putting forward an argument from President Barroso who, as
European Commission President, has an integral insight within the debate. The
BBC's coverage of the Scottish Referendum debate has been fair and balanced and
we will continue to report on the story without fear or favour."
Scottish buffoon Alex Salmond attacking a man
who is still recovering from a stroke!
How badly Scots are served by Salmond but
when he loses the indyref, his future doesn’t exist as a credible force.
