A Union of Mushrooms

You hear rumours, little bits of information every now and then, some that surprises you, even shocks to some extent. The other night I received some startling news. My twitter feed is being monitored, by a disparate or more accurately, desperate coalition of Westminster apologists, defenders of the Union or as they will now be colloquially called ‘mushrooms, mushie’s for short’

A quick explanation may be needed at this point, mushrooms prefer to be kept in the dark and thrive on bullshit, it is probably the best description of a unionist I can currently think of, but it has that certain ring of truth in its simplicity.

So the ‘mushie’s’ are monitoring me, why? What’s my crime, what offence have I caused that requires such intrusion. Well that’s easy I expressed my opinion, my very own opinion, well formed over the years.

I am impressed, though shocked it took so long, usually I can piss people off in under an hour, this has been a slow simmer, if you like, but, boy am I chuffed. I know some may get disturbed at the thought, that a self appointed gaggle of miscreants are monitoring you, but those that know me personally, will be well aware that I’m of the thick skinned variety, in fact a rhino’s arse has nothing on me.

So I would like to dedicate this blog to all those, who believe in the UK, those that buy into foreign policy misadventures like Iraq, who accept 30yr of endemic economic failure. Those that are happy as Westminster devalues humanity with its coarse and brutal treatment of the poor, the sick and the elderly, while at the same time giving tax cuts to the uber rich.

Those political classes, who love to label the unemployed and single mothers as undeserving.

While engorging themselves on expenses and self delusion, they now have to explain how they are going solve the self inflicted economic travails that are symptomatic of their incompetent misrule. Unsurprisingly they remain silent on this, while at the same time increasing national debt, and reducing the asset base. A recipe for disaster, Sub-prime govt at it’s best.

For me I prefer the route of self determination, a right enjoyed by many nations around the world, that is except for the Scot’s. But that is changing as the days go by, the people are awaking and realising the London city state and their tame politicians offer nothing but misery.

The pollsters are saying support for Independence is anything between 25 & 40%, and a rudimentary use of arithmetic, equates this to around 1 million pro indy supporters, that is a substantial level of support and dismiss us at your peril.

So to the mushie’s out there, I welcome you to my world and wish you nothing but good wishes and if you need the number for a good psychiatrist to help with your self loathing, try the yellow pages.

Also a big shout out to Norman Mcphail as he travels round the world, and if anyone wants, follow his blog at normanmcphail.com and watch as he trains as beer taster par excellence.
