Three cheers for Alex Salmond. Now ask yourself why anyone would want to bring him down, and how those people have come to control the SNP and the Scottish Government. It is all very 77th Brigade. It is all very Integrity Initiative. It is all very Sergei Skripal.
The #MeToo investigations have now been going on for so long that the mere mention of them has an almost Proustian effect. There has been a complete failure to find anything. But still #IBelieveHer, apparently.
When is Labour going to restore the whip to Kelvin Hopkins, the staunch Lexiteer who was the first MP to nominate Jeremy Corbyn for Leader? With or without the Labour whip, the re-election of Hopkins at Luton North must now be considered one of the very highest priorities at the next General Election. Salmond might also consider another go at Westminster, with or without the fallen SNP.
The other way lies such catastrophes as the confirmation to the United States Supreme Court of a Justice with the most egregious record on torture, Guantánamo Bay, mass surveillance, workers' rights, consumer protection, environmental responsibility, treaties with Native Americans, and healthcare for people with preexisting conditions.
On any one of those issues, Brett Kavanaugh could have been blocked, with all Democrats and enough Republicans voting against him. But the other side chose to make it about #MeToo instead. The confirmation of Kavanaugh will be the only lasting legacy of the #MeToo phenomenon.
The capture of the SNP is blatantly obvious, and another hung Parliament is coming. Therefore, we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
