What is a word salad?

According to Google, it means a random mix up of words that have no clear or logical meaning, and are often attributed to people who have neurological difficulties.

Politicians on the other hand use this method when they don’t want to answer hard questions. They say a lot, but their words have no actual meaning. This can be very confusing, but then it’s meant to be.

It’s not that they can’t answer the question, but rather, they don’t want you to know the answer! So much for democracy. They actually go on courses to learn how to do this, paid for by our taxes!!

The ‘pen’ erected in Holyrood to keep the press at bay was to protect the newbies from the press until they learned how to handle them and produce ‘word salads’!

Brand new, shiny MSPs, still wet behind the ears were likely to tell the truth and that could not be allowed.

But then it’s been a long time since Holyrood was the parliament of the People. The ‘entitled’ hijacked it and have, at times, locked us out.

What does that say about Scottish democracy?… It is even more surprising just how many folks are okay with that.

Usually, at this time of year, the political scene is very quiet, but not this year. Call it ‘ego’ or call it what you like, there are certain politicians who just love to hog the limelight. They don’t realise the honeymoon is over, and the press are merciless.

But in the background the ‘sma folk’ keep chipping away, determined to counter every lie. These are the real heroes of our country, not dead billionaires who lied through their teeth.

The grassroots people, irrespective of colour or creed. These are the real people of Scotland, and these are the people who, one day, will take it back.

We say it as it is, no holds barred, and we won’t wheest for anyone!

And on that subject of not holding back, there was an interesting news article on Monday night saying the ‘UKGovernment’ [just quoting!!] were going to step in and support the Coalsnaughton residents. I did wonder why them and not the Scot Gov. Then I got a message saying the Council had refused permission to build on that site and the Scot Gov over-ruled them! So did Swinney get his pals down south to save his skin?

He gets his rewards.

One day we will get ours!!
