New definition of Brass Neck.

I was going to tweet this but the sheer wrong-headedness of it, the brazen incongruity - the logic-defying, sense-denying, two-faced, obviously opportunistic, epoch-busting craven effrontery of it, means a tweet could never do it justice.

Fergus Ewing today announced there would be a moratorium on fracking in Scotland via the planning system. A UK wide moratorium was rejected at Westminster the day before yesterday with all but three Scottish Labour MP's abstaining (including Margaret Curran who claimed to have voted against.)

Brace yourself...

I'm surprised Duncan manages to tweet anything at all, his synapses no longer believe anything his neurons are peddling.

Through the vehicle of keepie-uppies (and a severe Vitamin D deficiency - the legs Jim, put them away) - Jim Murphy and his 'Scottish' Labour chums saved Scotland again.

While the vote on a moratorium on fracking took place at Westminster, Jim was dressing up as a footballer in Aberdeen. If only Scottish law makers knew this was a more effective method of changing government policy...

Well, according to some anyway...

Sometimes we stare agog at tweets & comments coming from Labour flunkies - but we forget; the only way a person could truly support 'Scottish' Labour is if they have similar values & syllogisms to 'Scottish' Labour.

I'm not sure why we're surprised.

    Ha ha ha...

    You have to admit, it's an easy mistake to make. You think to yourself... "OK, I'm an MP, and there's debate this afternoon on something my constituents may really care about. Best thing I can do is go along say my piece, hope to convince people with my argument, succinctly and wittily proposed, and then vote..."

    When a really smart operator... like ....let's take an example out of the air.... Jim Murphy, knows that the best way to effect change, is to show off his skinny legs and pretend he's a footie star.

    Thing is, that once it's pointed out to you, you just face palm and wonder how you could have been dim enough to have missed the obvious.

    Don't be too harsh on Mags though. Truth is she's not the brightest button in the box and probably gets a bit mixed up over voting things... for ...against... abstention... oh it's all just too difficult.

    As for Duc. He's probably just past his best.

    You do get the feeling that, they are extracting the urine, or should that be fracking the urine.

    I can't decide whether they are taking the piss or not. Are they sitting in a back room saying "if we put it like this, maybe we'll get away with it" or is the execrable McTernan and McDougall sitting saying things like "stupid bastards, they'll believe anything we tell them."

    The schmuck Baillie was on Scotland 2015 saying Labour abstained from the moratorium at Westminster AND disapproved of Fergus Ewing's moratorium at Holyrood because they weren't the right kind of moratorium.

    She just wittered on about a nebulous 'triple lock system' which no one knows anything about.

    As for Jim Murphy with his football strip... What is he, a ten year old boy? Dressing up as a footballer? What next, is he going to bring his Pokemon cards in to his constituency office to play with or have a sleep-over instead of - I don't know - being the leader of a political party and representing people in Scotland?

    Seriously, I'm still a bit gobsmacked by it all and then Duncan stuck his oar in...

    Hi John.

    I'm sure Jim's mum would be happy to have you over to stay, so long as you keep quiet about the training pants he still has to wear.

    I'm afraid Ed will have to stay at home, horses are like the truth to wee Jim - he's allergic.

    ;-)

    PS: I hope your wellies are insulated, you don't want to get frostbite ;-/

Thanks for comment as always and I apologise if you have to jump through any hoops to do so. Its just that, I'm still being spammed by organisations who are certain I can't get it up or when it is up its not big enough or that I don't have anyone to get it up for.

Who knew blogging could be so bad for ones self-confidence?
