Open Letter to The Three Stooges:

No backsies, ya pledge-breaking bastard!

Dear Bastards,

Danny Alexander [@dannyalexander] chose to ‘calm the markets’ a fortnight ago by offering them a one hundred percent guarantee that in the event of the Scottish people ignoring your advice and, instead, opting to liberate ourselves from the itchy straightjacket formerly known as the United Kingdom, we simultaneously absolve ourselves of all the UK debt. Scotland, given such a guarantee, has nothing left to negotiate over. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury at the time has clutched this debt to his bosom and to that of his partner in crime, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Gideon Osborne.

Maybe when Danny Alexander offered his guarantee to absolve Scotland of it’s former share of the debt he didn’t mean it. Maybe the Chief Secretary of the Treasury’s familiarity with the term ‘guarantee’ is as shaky as is his appreciation of the commitments that are an integral part of the term ‘pledge’.

If Danny Alexander wants to go to the markets now to tell investors that his ‘guarantee’ is as worthless as his ‘pledge’ about student tuition fees, this will cost him and George Osborne very dear indeed. Just watch Sterling crash through the floor.

Investors in currency need to be brought up to speed with just how valueless a guarantee from Danny Alexander is. Not only did he break his pledge on student tuition fees within hours of conning the voters secure his right to become a legislator, but he and the rest of his Liberal Democrat colleagues justified their propping up the Tories voters thought they were voting Lib Dem to stop winning a majority, a gang of con artists who tried to convince voters they were attacking Labour’s leadership for being insufficiently left-wing…

Danny Alexander and his fellow Pledge-Breaking Bastards promised to abolish the unelected second chamber which makes the United Kingdom a laughing stock all around the world. However, the changes proposed by the Liberal Democrats were genuinely even worse than the existing situation. No wonder this pledge was broken.

Their alternative to the anti-democratic monstrosity that is first-past-the-post was – again – not any better than what already exists. At any rate, only the Liberal Democrats would be helped in any way by their proposed change. That was more than enough for voters to reject it. Anything that helps the Liberal Democrats is something no one else wants. We want to flush Nick Clegg’s idiots down the toilet of history, the sooner the better.

And now the Lib Dems have welched on their promise to bring in the recall of the very many members of parliament who have lost authority due to their betrayal of their constituents. This is a key pillar stone of every genuinely democratic system. It was one of the things that Karl Marx valued so much in the first workers’ government in history: the 1871 Paris Commune. Within the last few weeks, that promise has gone the way of everything else, no doubt due to the revelation that the contempt of Lib Dem voters would make them the big losers in offering voters the right to get rid of Judas MPs. Vote Liberal Democrats for the chance of propping up the biggest shower of pledge breaking bastards in the history of the world?

This behavior is what has made the Liberal Democrats even more toxic than the Tories are these days. That is something we can all agree on: left, right and center.

If Danny Alexander did plunge Sterling into chaos by withdrawing the prop to the currency he put in place a mere fortnight ago, what would happen next? In addition to a much bigger plunge than would have happened had he made no intervention at all, we would see even more loss of credibility of Lib Dem plonker number two. He’d probably have to resign to restore any credibility with the markets.  What would Danny Alexander’s replacement and his boss, George Osborne, do to force Scots to pay for the debt of a currency we have been unceremoniously kicked out of? Good question.

Economic sanctions? Is that what George Osborne has up his sleeve? What about sending the tanks in? Soldiers marching across the borders to plunder our oil reserves, Union Jack bully boys gunning down rebellious Scots on Sauchiehall Street? Is that what is being threatened, comrade Ed Balls?

We don’t take kindly to such threats. So, what exactly does the Better Together Bully Boys have in store for Scotland? How will you force Scots to pay debts on assets you claim were never ours in the first place?

By the way, if Danny Alexander thinks the price of Sterling will rise in response to plans to start a war with Scotland, he is even more stupid than he looks.

Not only would Sterling fall through the floor at the first hint of a shooting war with Scotland, if Danny Alexander, George Osborne did declare war for our daring to take him at his word vis-a-vis the United Kingdom debt, the English people would extend the hand of friendship to us as well. Not all of them, naturally.

We know that the propaganda tools of the Better Together Campaign (all five of the broadcasters) will queue up to vomit anti-democratic drivel all over the good people of Scotland. But this won’t work quite as well as Chris Patten’s deluded broadcasters hope.

There are five million Scots. We have Twitter accounts. We have access to @Youtube accounts. We have access to mobile devices with which to report to the rest of the world, including by multi-media reports of the demonstrations and protests the BBC, Channel Four News etc choose to boycott. Make no mistake. The Scottish people will climb over the electrified fence that is the BBC, SKY News, Channel Four News, ITV and Channel Five. We will get our message across, notwithstanding all the hurdles, not to mention landmines, placed in our path by the Better Together Campaign.

The English people are not as contemptuous of democracy as Andrew Neil supposes them to be. Supporters of Scottish independence are more than capable of making our case directly to the ninety nine percent in England, the exploited and oppressed who are being screwed every bit as much as are the Scots.

Supporters of Scottish self determination will win the hearts and minds of more than enough of our English brothers and sisters, and not only to help us liberate ourselves from everything that is rotten about the United Kingdom; we will extend the hand of friendship to them too, ask them to join us in liberating themselves from a political system that is propped up by an anti-democratic media and a pointless electoral system that crushes any alternatives by the Three Stooges of Danny Alexander, George Gideon Osborne, Ed Balls, and to their grinning Thatcherite clown waiting in the wings: Nigel Farage.

Yours sincerely,
The Scottish People
