Yellow Fever

This Christmas, my Christmas wish was to see less yellow on The political map. The United Kingdom of Great Britain had a snap Christmas election and in Scotland the SNP won more seats, they displaced Labour and lib-dem positions I think. The SNP are much bigger now.

Being English, my first reaction was to feel very angry because we bailed out RBS and we are the biggest customers of the Scottish manufacturing. Our Civil engineering millitary factories are placed in Scotland. My favourite snacks are Tannocks tea cakes (Scottish chocolates)  and we buy Scottish whiskey and Eat Scottish oats and drink Scottish water. I felt like they were writing us off for the EU.

When I thought about it I thought that it is the British government's fault  that the Scottish are thinking of leaving  the UK because they have a long history of neglecting the north side of the Island. For example, look at Cross rail. We are building a railway that goes half way across England yet we have loads of railways in South East England already. It is like the North side of the country doesn't exist in British parliament. No wonder they value the EU more than the UK.

Less yellow and orange

I think that all the political parties have one thing in common, they have made promises they can't keep. Either they are over ambitious or they will be blocked by the shadow cabinet or the house of Lords. I don't really care who gets elected now because this election is all about Brexit and I don't really know what brexit polarity is best anymore.

The only thing I would like on the weekend is to see a political map of Britain with less yellow and orange. If there was no yellow or orange at all then that would be even better. The Lib-dems and SNP have been telling us what to think and don't really listen to ordinary people. They have their own ambitions and work against the will of the majority.  I don't care what colour my district lights up on the weekend as long as it is not orange or yellow. It could stay blue or turn red and that is fine, it could even turn green and I would be happy.

This weekend will be very revealing indeed. We will have a better picture of what the Brits actually think and what the start of the 2020s will be like.

Scotland and Us

I sense that the Scottish people want to break away from the UK to rejoin the European Union. To be honest, I would be disappointed if they did because it means they are choosing the EU over the UK. The UK is older than the EU and functions better. I will accept their decision and try not to take it personally.

I am proud of the UK and feel that it will out last the EU because they are trying to turn into a federation and the countries don't fit together. They will probably blame the UK exit for the end of the EU but the truth is it was a doomed project.

We did a lot for the Scots , we bailed out RBS and put all gov projects their to increase their employment. If they want to turn their backs on that then I won't hold it against them.

I think that the Scots leaving the UK is bad for them because we buy most there goods and we share their currency.
