Have a Friday chuckle on me🤪

“Hello?”, “Hi honey. This is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?”

“No Daddy. She’s upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.”

After a brief pause, Daddy says, “But honey, you haven’t got an Uncle Paul.”

“Oh yes I do, and he’s upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now.”

Brief Pause. “Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy’s car just pulled into the driveway.”

“Okay Daddy, just a minute.” A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone. “I did it Daddy.”

“And what happened honey?” he asked.

“Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn’t moving at all!”

“Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?”

“He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn’t know that you took out the water last week to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he’s dead.”

***Long Pause***

Then Daddy says, “Swimming pool? …. Is this 486-5731?”

Never mind looking for Wally ....Whereeeeee's Jackie!? 🤔
It's not like her to miss a chance to get her photo taken👀....Then again, she either doesn't place any importance on the voters of Helensburgh or she just doesn't think a Labour leaflet highlighting her incompetent Branch Manager Sarwar will sway her usual Tory and LibDem "Better Together" chums.

The shameful part is that it was 2 Scotsmen who handed this over to England. Blair and Brown, a Parcel of Rogues indeed.

WESTMINSTER MUST RESTORE SCOTLAND’S STOLEN SEAS

On the Scottish Parliament’s final day before dissolution, I lodged a Parliamentary motion calling for the arbitrary sea boundaries imposed on Scotland by the UK to be re-drawn by rescinding the Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999.

This damaging statutory instrument was imposed on Scotland in 1999 by the then UK Labour Government and backed by Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems only days after the Scottish Parliament reconvened for the first time since 1707.

So, in effect, almost the first act of the unionist parties after Devolution - The 1999 Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order – was to surrender 15,000 square kilometres of Scottish waters, by comparison with the Continental Shelf Order 1968 and the Civil Jurisdiction (Offshore Activities) Order 1987.

This removes any future Scottish control over oil, gas, other minerals, and fishing rights.

In June 1999, in the Scottish Parliament Labour and Liberal Democrat Coalition rejected an SNP amendment that the east coast sea boundary be redrawn to a line of latitude due east of the termination point of land border between England and Scotland.

What is desperately sad is that Labour and Lib Dem MSPs, backed by the Tories, were happy to give up 15,000 square kilometres of Scottish waters at the behest of their bosses in London, against the clear interests of Scotland – their own country!

Would any other people - anywhere - tolerate such action?

Imagine if a politician in Poland stood up in their parliament and suggested handing over 15,000 square kilometres of seabed to Russia?

Or in Greece, if it was suggested handing it over to Turkey?

An independent Scotland will confidently make the case that the England-Scotland border should be drawn back towards the original East-West alignment.

There have been numerous settlements around the world where this approach was taken, including judgements made by the International Court.

This was my sixth motion on this issue since 2010.

Unfortunately, only SNP MSPs and 1 independent supported my motion.
