Budget and Independence Mis-Information

After hearing Osbourne rip any hope of a blooming economy away from the UK, I feel very dejected about the future for not only business here but also for living anything more than a very basic life for the majority of us.

Rather than cutting more jobs and welfare, why can't they charge wealthier prisoners for their meals and upkeep? Rather than talk of jailing bankers, why not simply fine them huge quantities (because jailing them means that yet again, they are taking from the tax payer).

I would genuinely like to see MP's taking a pay cut but they won't. They grumbled because they didn't get their usual pay rise (while everyone else's pays had been frozen they expected to keep their raise!).

We are an island in mourning for a decent goverment.

We do have a light on the horizon. At least some of us can get out of this - Scotland has the referendum next year and I genuinely hope we can break away from the Tory Totaitarian state we are currently forced into. I genuinely feel sorry for the rest of the UK who don't have that option. Only a small proportion of the population actually voted in the last election and enabled these awful people in.

According to the BBC, the UK government are about to announce that if Scotland were to break away from the rest of the UK mobile phones would charge for roaming fees is they then travelled to England/Wales etc, as it would be classed as going abroad.

They also announced that Post Offices would close and the rural broadband scheme would be cancelled.

Lets look at each of these claims:

'well before 2016' the Eu is hoping to cancel the roaming fees - problem solved.

They have been closing more and more post offices in Scotland for more than 10 years and there has been an underlying threat of privatisation (a key word for tories) since the tories came back into power!

As someone who lived in a very, very remote part of Scotland (Island of Skye had more going for it that our area!) for several years and only moved to Argyll a couple of months ago, I can tell you that this rural broadband scheme doesn't seem to exist yet - BT made it very clear to us that London came first when we enquired about getting broadband. We had to use a dongle.

This aspect is simply a farce and doesn't exist now, so why would we think going Independent would make a remote difference? Westminster needs to come up with real issues and not make rubbish up!

On another note, I have written a bit of a sexy witchy/werewolfy/vampirey book (not erocita, but sexy). If you like Charlaine Harris, Carrie Vaughn, Patricia Briggs, hopefully you'll like this. It is available on kindle and now in paperback.

Today is the beginning of the Lib Dem Conference and we have seen MP after MP waxing lyrical about the state of the nation and what has been happening since they joined the coalition.

No one has, so far, mentioned (on the record, on the stage) that Nick Clegg should resign. They laud his apology, mas though this is enough to make up for the bare-faced lies the Lib Dems uttered to get the votes they received in the last election.

In order to survive beyond the next election, the Lib Dems must face up to the fact that Nick Clegg is viewed not only as damaged goods, but falty goods at that. No longer will the general public look on this man as honest, decent or anything other than the sell-out he is.

Here in Scotland, as I said in my previous post, the Lib Dems must break away from the national party if they are to survive beyond 2014. This is more than simple opinion, this is stating fact. They lost so many votes to the SNP and Labour that they will not gain any seats and will probably lose most if not all of their current seats in Parliament. This is what happens when you so blatantly go back on your word.

As I also mentioned in my last post, the fact that they are so against the independence referendum, let alone independence, is another blow to a great many Scots, given the show of force at the March for Independence in Edinburgh on Saturday, 22nd September. More and more people are now moving to a yes vote for independence, given what the tory government has done to the whole of the UK, a government that Scotland did not vote for. We have fewer tory seats than almost any other part of the UK.

Finally, I would like to mention the disgust I have for both the PM and for the minister, Andrew Mitchell, whom no one had heard of prior to today, for the latters outburst at the police and for the PM backing him.

Mr Mitchell verbally attacked 2 police officers who were DOING THEIR JOB by not letting him in to Downing Street. They did not recognise him and followed procedure. He verbally attacked them, calling them 'plebs' in a show of utter disregard.

Many people may have noticed an increase in police activity in the last week, after the 2 WPC's were so awfull and sadly murdered. They have been putting on a show of strength and solidarity and this minister shows with audacity and unrespectful disregard how little he thinks of the police force. Shame on you Andrew Mitchell, Shame.
