| Left reeling after the Lib-Dems’ recent shock victory in Broon’s
Fiefdom of Fife, Scottish Secretary Alastair "Move over" Darling, told Scottish
Labour delegates this weekend that only the Labour Government had the courage to
take difficult, daft decisions. "Ask
yourself colleagues, would any other party face up to the need to introduce ID cards and
piss all over individual liberty simply to satisfy Tony’s megalomania? I think
not."
Setting himself firmly against those in the Labour Movement
still harboring an irrational attachment to logic and reason he called upon delegates to
simply believe that all would be well and it would be so. |
"Critics of the ID plan worry about the implications for the
individual’s right to privacy. These worries are unfounded. I ask you only to
consider these facts: name one large scale IT project sponsored by the government that
hasn’t run massively over budget and ended in chaos and failure? You can’t can
you? So it will be with ID cards. I confidently
predict that in a few short years, after spending a few gazillion pounds on the project
that it will be quietly dropped, with only the IT contractors having cause to remember the
debacle to come as they lie sunning themselves on a yacht, bought for them by the grateful
taxpayer." |
With Labour and The
Lib-Dems at daggers drawn, arch-mad-old-bat, Winnie Ewing could offer no comfort to The
SNP, calling into question the split-leadership tactic, that sees Alex Salmond lead the
party in London while Nicola Sturgeon freaks everyone out at Holyrood. In no way related to the failure of her daughter to be selected to fight the
SNP safe seat of Moray, Whacky Winnie called for a return to traditional values in the
party – when it was mainly run by people whose second name was "Ewing". |
