Over the past year and more substantially, over these past few months, I find it difficult to comprehend the full intentions of the Prime Minster of UK, Theresa May. Sometimes I sit back and think that she is deliberately trying to sabotage her chances of winning the election by cutting everything in sight. Young, to old are all getting a bit of May-ism in their life. She is introducing the dreaded rape clause and dementia tax. My thoughts quickly turn to the reasoning behind her method and I can’t think of any. I really can’t. We are indeed the 7th richest country in the world. Why is the Government embarking on an extreme austerity course. This completely negates my brain. The only thing I can think of is that she is not ‘strong and stable’ after all and that she really wants to give up. She called a snap election that she said she wouldn’t do. She’s introduced all of these dreadful, appalling, abhorrent policies to us in her manifesto. I personally think she has saw the full scale mess that brexit is going to do to us and thought ‘this isn’t for me, I’ll make the electorate out me as soon as possible so that I don’t get the blame for this cock up’.
I heard a recording of one of Theresa May’s personal advisors. He said to an undercover journalist that the bombing in Manchester is a ‘good’ thing as it works in Theresa May’s favour coming up to the General Election. He then proceeded to say that it would be good for her campaign as the IRA once bombed Manchester and Jeremy Corbyn has been getting a tough old time of being an IRA sympathiser in the press. Now this recording didn’t make the news of course. What I love about twitter is the honesty and desire to right the wrongs from the people that use it. I have many SNP members/followers on my timeline everyday and that’s where I get my news. I occasionally watch SkyNews or BBC news but that is just to debunk their reporting and anxiously laugh at our democracy slipping down the toilet with their reporting with their inept approach to seeing any other party do anything good but the Tories.
On June 8th, we all have a choice. If you live in Scotland, you must vote for the SNP. I’m not writing this because I’m a member. I’m writing this because the Tories and Scottish Labour have failed you. The media is biased and filling our heads with nonsense. Take time to research and learn for yourself. Take a look at the SNP manifesto and what it can do for you. I promise you won’t look back. £10 per hour living wage, banning zero hour contracts, reinstating housing benefits for 18/21 year olds. When those big banking fat cats get a large bonus, tax free, SNP want to tax them and put that money back into public services. Extending childcare to help you to worry less when you’re employed. Reversal of the disability cuts imposed on our disabled by the Tories. And many many more. This is a great time to vote. To have your voice heard, now more than ever. Theresa May has given up on us. Our First Minister Nicola Sturgeon hasn’t. The Tories have no plans for brexit negotiations and it could lead to having no deal at all, which is catastrophic for Scotland. It could cost up to 80,000 jobs. Your Mum, Dad, brother, aunty, even you could end up unemployed. You could lose your house, your rented accommodation because the Tories don’t want to help you with housing benefits.
The UK is in a massive downward decline and there is nothing ‘strong and stable’ about it. They are only words and I was told that actions speak louder than words. I don’t see any action from the Prime Minister. Ducking and diving debates on tv and making perfectly selected public meetings. It’s a slap in the face to the electorate and we aren’t buying it. Theresa May was Home Secretary for 6 years and had complete control over immigration and monitoring terror suspects, yet nothing was done. She would rather sell arms to Saudi who fund terrorism, than reverse the cuts on Police, FireFighters, nurses and GP’s. She doesn’t care about you. Every Tory I’ve spoke to bang on about reducing the deficit. They have made this a target since 2010 and nothing has changed. Their new target is 2025 and it won’t happen then either. In Scotland the SNP have made sure we have more GP’s, Police and better paid nurses than anywhere else in the UK. That’s why we need to vote for SNP.
Theresa May wants to sit at the top table of the elite prime ministers and presidents and look down their noses at the poor countries they’ve invaded throughout the years. They want to have a nuclear deterrent programme that they can never use but just want to have it there to show the world their might. The reality is, the terrorists are hitting our innocent people on the streets and concerts, on their way home from work or on a night out. What use is nuclear deterrent there?! Trident costs £32 billion per year and in total will cost £208 billion. Imaging if we put that money to our Police officers, paramedics, nurses, FireFighters. To stop the use of foodbanks. That is the magic money tree right there Amber Rudd. Please, if you get to the bottom of this blog, I urge you to vote for SNP in Scotland and send all our Mp’s down to Westminster to put a spanner in the works of this dreadful U.K. Government and turn the wheel on democracy again.
