The Modern Politician

A play in three acts:
And you thought ours were spineless.
Poor old Anas, though.
If 24 hours is a long time in politics these days, a week is forever.
And a month hardly even bears thinking about.
As for a year and a half, well, the less said the better.
Nobody can go until after May.
Simply because Labour is going to lose big in May. That will demand resignations.
If somebody resigns now, their replacement will still have to resign in May. So the only sensible option is to postpone the first resignation(s) until then.
It really isn’t that complicated!
Swinney took over not long before the 2024 election, got absolutely horsed, but didn’t have to resign.
…and we still don’t know the official length of “a generation”…….
I’ve never known a prime minister as hated as Two Tier, and I remember Maggie Thatcher.
At least with Maggie you had the sense you could vote your way out.
People know now that MP’s don’t intend to represent you, they’re out to harm you. Most people you speak to these days no longer have any hope for the future, most expect things to get worse. And they probably will.
The UK is closer to becoming a failed state than most people realise.
Also, at least Thatcher stuck to her fucking guns. You can’t tell what Starmer believes in from one day to the next.
Zionism?
Labour always overplays its hand, or, at least, the Left always does. Even more than the Right. It is as if all the parties are on a mission to destroy themselves and destroy their countr(ies).
First, it was the ‘trans’ vote that they all needed, now it’s the Muslim vote. In fact, both have destruction of p[arties and countr(ies) built into them. The ‘trans’/’woke’ cohort and their support were determined to upend everything that made any sense for over two thousand years, and the Muslim vote (in England, particularly) is hellbent on creating a new state based on Sharia Law.
A lot of ordinary folk could see this coming, but our betters decided that we and our silly culture, constitution, history needed to be replaced because we are just not fecund enough (with democracy the sacrificial lamb) so they boxed themselves into a very tight corner and have not a scoobie about how to get out again and will never admit that they were wrong.
Older folk will remember when Muslim women and lassies did not wear hijabs, niqabs and burqas in Scotland’s, and the UK’s, cities In fact, there is something very self-harming here in both ‘trans’/’woke’ and female Muslims, and their respective support, almost on a parallel, and it is here that we can see the contradictions most clearly. Women are the (often unwitting) canaries in the coal mine, as they are with AI and Big Tech.
We expect society to protect women and children. Legislation should reflect what is viewed in our society as just/unjust, etc. Laws are now imposed on society by a political caste that no longer reflect the understanding the punters share on right and wrong. They are now a class apart working for international capital, the ‘anywhere’ elite. Epstein might help concentrate minds.
Oh Yes, the British born Anas Sarwar MSP, has shown us all around the world how politics is done in Scotland. By saving Keir Starmer and bring himself down instead.
Doesn’t anyone in Holyrood check with their ministers before they hold a press conference about their boss, obviously not.
I would expect Anas Sarwar will be stepping down before Keir Starmer.
Anas Sarwar thinks the Labour party is a business and he owns it and it belong to him and he could do what ever the fuck he wanted because he was against Scottish Independence and that is all that mattered.
The British elite and the unionist in Scotland is all he needed and this is where our politics is today, people like him deserve no place in Holyrood or our parliament ever.
