Readers will note the contradiction of having Amazon books here and the more ethical Housman's books above. I have decided to keep it here and continue to pass the renumeration from them to a good Socialist cause.

"Killed off Labour political Hegemony in Scotland in not one but two parliaments"
Once is careless, twice is hilarious.

Is is possible that their are 2 Labour Parties in the UK? According to right wing ethnic nationalists like you there is a Labour Party which is despised by the snp, the hatred displayed by the snp for that Labour Party is palpable and fascistic in nature. And yet there appears to be another Labour Party which the snp, polluted as it is with tartanshirt thugs wants indeed, judging by the behaviour of nicola sturgeon is pleading with this other Labour Party to let them form a pact with them in Westminster. The reason for this deeply dishonest and squalid snp position is one that I have referred to often before, that is that they stand for nothing bar separation. They will quite literally make deals with anyone as they did between 2007 and 2015 when they did a secret underhand deal with the Tories to keep them in power at Holyrood when they were a minority government. They will do and say anything no matter how base and justify it by saying it was for the 'cause' You people are simply not to be trusted.
'you people'
are how pogroms start Tel, be careful
Its true that there is more than one Labour party as its true there is more than one SNP party.
While Neil Findlay and Tom Harris/Jim Murphy are in the same party they have very different political outlooks.
There is no dishonsety from SNP side, they have said from start its their aim to get as many seats as possible and look to prop up Labour. Thats from day 1 has been the aim. They also said under no circumstances would they support the Tories...Something Labour have not said.
What is dishonest but that I do agree is politically smart is Miliband saying he will do no deals.
If its correct he would prefer to leave the Tories in place rather than do as deal with SNP. That outcome then makes it clear that Labour have become a British Nationalist party as they prioritise saving the 'constitutional' status quo over everything else.
I put that in inverted commas as I suspect its more to do with maintaining Labour party power than a real love of the current constitutional setup.
The SNP want independence, same as Miliband wants power. Both are saying one thing but their aim is differnt(no deal from Miliband) but their aim is to get what they want.
Question for you Terry is , would you leave a Conservative minority government in place rather than do a deal with the SNP?...Hold your nose as its a distinct possibility.....
I still think there is an outside chance that Tories and Labour will stitch up a Government of National Unity filthy alliance. If they do you should sut down this blog :O)
It'll go down a bomb in England, it'll go down like the Hindenburg in Scotland. I can hear the shouts of never from you but....
Why not ? since you already shared a bath in referendum and to many(on right of party) it was not as bad as they thought.
It would kill Labour stone dead in Scotland though.
In the end I want independence. I'll get it if the Tories win another election and I'll get closer if Labour need propped up. Worst scenario 'independence' wise is Labour majority but that does not look likely but would be slightly better than Tories.
Policy wise there is nothing between Labour and Tories if you are poor.
As an SNP supporter and independence supporter I can't lose. The hip has left the dock.
Any predictions ? I would say Labour/SNP loose arrangement and outside chance of Lab/Tory alliance. Lib Dems will be left out in cold and will be removed from political map.

'you people'refers to the 'tartanshirts' who roam the streets threatening anyone who is not snp and if they get enough power you will see plenty of pogroms.

The snp brought Thatcher to power and they also did a backdoor pact with the Tories to keep them in power between 2007 and 2011. It comes as no surprise to see that sturgeon is calling for a pact with Labour but refusing to tell English voters to vote Labour.
If she thinks there is a grain of honesty in that position it's her who has lost the plot.

Terry dont you find it odd that all the bile threats and violence is coming from he unionist side.

The bile threats and violence has been coming from the snp for years and it is racist and fascist in nature just as it was in WW2 when the snp sided with the Nazis against “The English”. The Palestinians are an occupied and oppressed people, the Scots. are whingers, there is no comparison.
the Scots. are whingers, there is no comparison.
maybe you could give that quote to jim murphy i am sure he would use it.
Compared to the Palestinians and the Irish the Scots. talk a good fight, Scots. meaning the snp tartanshirts.
