Westminster politics in general this week has been cataclysmic.
First the Shadow Chancellor (Balls) admitted Labour has no better idea than the Tories on what to do with the economy, then the unions turn on there hand picked leader of Labour for condoning the cuts and further more, proposing a 1% cap on salary increases. Ed Megabore replies with "tough",(his speech writer earned his wage that day) and offers no compromise.
David McCameron waded into the Scottish independence referendum question with the finesse of a Hippo with a bad case of nobby styles. This prompted a sudden and unexpected backlash from the SNP majority government in Scotland, (when I say unexpected, I obliviously mean, what were you thinking would happen my old Etonian chum).
When questioned on the Scottish ability to continue using the £ we were duly informed that we could not and would need to apply to join the Euro, the SNP asked a really tricky and complicated question in response "Are you sure about that George Osbourne?". After hours of serious book crunching and phone calls to the highest bank official who would take there call, the answer came back "emm, sorry about the £ thing earlier its seams that we can't actually do anything about that so you are welcome to use it if you really want". So what possibly can go wrong for them after that, in steps the right honorable Phillip Hammond. When quizzed about a Scottish defense force being formed from the Scottish regiments, operational airfields and naval bases, his response was a masterclass of tact and diplomacy "ludicrous idea" he says. Then follows this up with probably the worst comment every made by a public servant, "We could do it but it would be complex". Wait a minute we have went from ludicrous to a little bit difficult in the space of two breaths. I will leave you the reader to Judge Mr Hammond's grip on the military.
And just like Jaws 3, where the swimmers have been warned before not to enter the water, up pops Michael Moore who performs the greatest fitness video backflips live on TV when pushed on his previous claims about the referendum and money.
I am a strong supporter of full independence for Scotland with the knowledge that I have and nobody on the Unionist's side is challenging my opinions on our chances of a independent a prosperous Scotland.
The burning question is, Does McCameron have a silver bullet to fire at the heart of the SNP or has Alex Salmond and the Scottish people already took his best shots and have got up for more?
