An admission of defeat

When Jim Murphy because the leader of the Scottish Labour Party (branch office) he was quite clear that Labour would not lose any seats in Scotland.

How did he intend on achieving this - to win back the Yes voters to Labour.

In order to win back these Yes voters his plan was to make it very clear that Scottish Labour was it's own man and not a branch office.

So he set out to be patriotic, standup for Glasgow mans right to get pissed at old firm matches and absolutely no toxic Ed Milliband in Scotland during the election campaign.

Well yesterday we saw not only Ed Milliband in Scotland, but Ed Balls as well alongside Jim Murphy.

So how bad exactly is Jim Murphy doing that the toxic in Scotland Ed Milliband is seen as the best option.

Not only was Jim Murphy's Scottish Labour firmly put back to the status of a branch office by this move, any attempt at winning back Yes voters was abandoned as we were once again subjected to "Project Fear".

And now it's an attack on Full Fiscal Autonomy.

It doesn't strike me as a very clever move to attack the thing that the majority of Scots want i.e. control over all out finances so that we can not only protect ourselves from Westminster but also grow our economy instead of growing the city of London.

So it's full panic mode once again, they are now relying on the Unionist/tactical votes and scaring pensioners.

We are again portrayed as too wee, too stupid.

Cause that worked so well for them during the referendum when support for independence grew from 25% to 45%.

The problem is that many people including the pensioners have realised that all the pre-referendum promises were nothing but a sham.

And once people see the sham for what it is, they can't go back.

You can't unlearn once the blinkers have been removed.

And in reality that is the problem they face, the Scots have become politically educated and engaged.

All we need now is David Cameron telling us how much he loves us!
