Devo Nano Watch, 25 March

Rev. Stuart Campbell
Still not a single email, nor even a simple acknowledgement, in response to our list of polite, factual questions about Labour’s proposals for “enhanced” devolution. We also tweeted every member of the Devolution Commission with a Twitter account yesterday to ask if they’d be replying, and haven’t had a response from any of them.
Tune in tomorrow for the latest developments!
They’re probably all too busy trying to come up with a way of implicating Alex Salmond in the loss of MH370.

It’s because you’re a fifth columnist !
I would have thought at least one of them would have wunted a conversation about this!
GG is in the devo nano camp now,try a email
Noticed something odd on the Hootsman comments, the UKOKers / Unitrolls seem to have vanished. At first I assumed they were all at the Labour conference, but now on Tuesday they still have not returned.
Is UKOK having a meltdown along with the Scottish(?) Labour party ?
Astonished!
Ye’d think in this day and age they’d be capable of responding to a simple email, wouldn’t they?
Would’ve liked to ask they a few Q’s regarding the costings as well.

No Sandy, they are away to get updated and reprogrammed.
I think they’re having a “We need to talk about Johann” day.
God loves a trier!
I asked Jim Murphy for clarification of his claims about NATO during the Generation 2014 debate with Humza at the weekend. No response there either.
Conclusion is that they must be lying through their collective teeth (sorry about that image).
RevStu, surely you’re not so naive as to expect Johann Lamont’s lot to provide answers to difficult questions? By difficult I mean of course how they explain the contradictions in their unworkable policy on devolved tax levels.
Frankly, Johann is “astonished” you, and the rest of the YES Campaign are actually asking for hard figures and clarification. Anyway, she’s too busy “holding a conversation with the Scottish people” on stuff. And Maggie Curran thought Johann done great, so she did.
“A Populus poll published on Monday showed Labour on 35% and the Tories on 34%; Comres also showed a narrowing, with Labour on 36% and the Tories on 31% echoing the findings of two weekend polls that suggested George Osborne had won favour with the contents of last week’s budget.” Today’s vote No Guardian so they wont be in power for another generation or three anyway. The Labour I used to kid myself I was voting for should just nick all SNP stuff but then England’s not Scotland, no matter how hard betterTogetherBBC etc say we’re all one and the same.

You won’t see wee Johann and Co until Armed Forces Day on 28th June, the same day and in the same town as the Bannockburn events.
This undercover cameraman caught JoLa out on rehearsals for the big Armed Forces Day event.

She would rather you attended the British Establish event with your Union Jack, than go to the Bannockburn event with your Saltire.

There will be no answer because there isn’t one,it’s far easier to beat blindly on the First Minister or chant ‘snp is bad’ over and over.It’s well known that if you keep doing the same things over and over you eventually get the result you want. 🙂 In about a million years that is.

Maybe they’ve migrated to the Herald, I’ve noticed a lot more Unionists in the comments in the last few days.
“Miss Lamont, will you respond to the Rev Campbell’s questions on your proposals for enhanced devolution for the Scottish parliament?”
“I shouldn’t have thought so”
“I stand astonished we remain”
Astonished

Anyone else seen the latest own goal by Labour?

THE SILENCE OF THE LABS
If Labour had been proud of these devolution proposals they would have been shouting it from the roof-tops to all and sundry.
Their silence indicates collective embarrassment.
All we need to do is when some Better Togther type comes knocking on your door is just get them to explain Labour’s devo-tax plans. Just watch their eye-balls roll.
This might be a more rational time to post my second article than was one o’clock this morning or thereabouts!
If Labour’s Scottish conference was a fraud, it’s only because of the larger fraud that is Labour UK.

These people have been the source of great hilarity to me over the past few years. Now, with the UK opinion polls showing a meagre one point lead I’m no longer laughing.
No-one should be laughing.
It’s odd that we seek clarification to Devo Nano (several years in the making) and the implications of a ‘No’ vote, yet the BBC Scottish politics landing page has a majority headline content seeking clarification on a ‘Yes’ outcome.

Scottish Labour have offered the Scottish people two “things”.
1) They have proposed a new tax system that will NEVER get used.
2)Also, devolved housing benefit, which will be illegal to implement because it is getting integrated into the new Universal Credit for the whole of the UK.
The Big Labour Party in London have already said that they will continue with the welfare reforms that the Tories have started.
They won’t allow the Scots to dismantle Universal Credit, because if we start picking away at it, then Wales and Northern Ireland will want to pick away at it.
It just won’t happen.
So really what they are offering the Scottish people, if we
vote NO, is NOTHING.

Wow. I’ll not sleep tonight. 😉
“Anyone else seen the latest own goal by Labour?”
Thanks for the link Colin , now shared on Twitter and Facebook!
It’s now crysatal clear exactly what JoLa means by “sharing and pooling resources”!
I just had a thought. Are they now saying “sharing and pooling”, to distance themselves from “pooling and sharing”?
Welcome to your new feudalism.

Armed Forces day. There’s also a survey on their website for anyone interested 😉

It seems to me that the Labour stuff was an emergency production and it shows. I don’t believe that they ever intended to produce anything and were relying on the No campaign negativity to do all that was necessary. There are no items if substance that would hold up under scrutiny and nothing appears to have been costed. They only produced something because they have played their hand so badly.
It looks like the Bitters renewed strategy is to concentrate on playing the man as we have seen with Jola’s interview with Brian Taylor, George ‘pussycat’ Galloway with Jim Sillars and Jackie Baillie at various events (the latest being Glasgow Skeptics). Alex Salmond’s ears must be burning when the bitters meet.
