So we are
back to normal here in Scotland with the Tories and the SNP back “in bed
together”, they
are always in bed together of course but this time there is nowhere to hide, no
stone big enough for them to crawl under, there is no lie available to hide
their betrayal and deceit. The Tory/SNP cabal which runs Holyrood have circled
the wagons and supported each other in their drive for austerity, is anyone
really surprised?. The only difference between them is the Tories are
professional crooks and the SNP are enthusiastic amateurs, hence the SNP
scandal a day has become a regular show in Scotland.
The issue
could hardly be more grave or straight forward, we are heading for draconian service
cuts, job losses and austerity with a capital A, with major damage to be done
to education making our Scottish children’s futures more difficult. Labour,
supported by the Libdems proposed a tax rise of 1 penny to mitigate the impact
of what is going to be savage austerity and the SNP supported by the Tories
voted the Labour/Libdem motion down, the SNP have been smoked out and as the
Tory spokesman rightly said, we (Tories) are happy to be “better together” with
the SNP in opposing the 1 penny tax rise.
The phrase “better
together” resonates and has come back to bite the wretched SNP, it was underhandedly
used by the SNP to link Labour with the Tories and now they are “better
together” with the Tories, “in bed with the Tories”, and there is a massive difference
between both descriptions.
The SNP
accusation related to the referendum which of course had nothing to do with
politics and everything to do with the constitution. The Tory/SNP pact on taxes
is a nakedly political act which cannot be dressed up as anything else, it’s a
Tory policy borrowed by and supported by the Scottish traitors of the SNP. Will
the Scottish people at long last take a hard look at these shysters?.

Good Afternoon Mr Kelly,
Thanks for the article. It's interesting to read the opposing views of the Scottish Parties.
In relation to the 1p tax rise that you disuss and that Labour propose and support, it did remind me of the run-up to the Scottish Parliament elections in 1999 when the SNP had themselves proposed a 1p tax rise. Labour had then vehmently opposed it, labelling it a 'Tartan Tax' and being very critical of the SNP for proposing such a measure (link- https://archive.is/pJjcl).
I was wondering what your thoughts were on this change of position?
Thank-you
The events you refer to were 17 years ago and they were one of Salmond's many underhand stunts. This issue is perfectly clear. This is a 'political'choice, we either accept Labour's suggestion to raise tax to protect us from Tory austerity or we do not. The vote showed that those who did not want to raise the tax won and they consisted of SNP/Tories voting together. No matter how you write it that is a Tory/SNP alliance. Or to use SNP vernacular the Tories and the SNP yellow Tories are in bed together, where they belong.
