itemprop=description content=ANDY Burnham thinks “the North” of England is treated as second class and London gets everything.

At last, Manchester mayor Andy Burnham sees the light about his party – but like his Labour predecessors, he completely forgets about Scotland’s plight tooJust that, the loose Unionist support for the London-centric vitriol peddled by right-wing print and broadcast media, which has sought to demonise and create dislike and distrust of Scots and Scotland by trying to equate the SNP as “blood and soil” nationalists. Labour in particular still have those members and old hands who peddle that lie.

At last, Burnham sees the light ... but like his Labour colleagues and predecessors, conveniently ignores the fact that Scotland is north of Manchester. If we were forced to continue to have only EFTA membership I would not be displeased – bearing in mind“I’M a stranger To the land To this wilderness All Things are possible But happen less and less This Is my country These Are my reasons.”

It is a terrible pity so, that, with the exception of nine stalwarts, a public servant such as Fergus Ewing should be regarded as expendable. Do we not all of us have reason to sing the blues at this product of malice and bile?has brought certainty and helped greatly in passing government budgets and to govern effectively on all the issues of the day, along with promoting independence.

Yet here we have a suggestion that this crime somehow be relegated to a position where jurors can’t be trusted to come to the “right” decision. It is indeed political interference, and an infringement on the rights of the accused. Just in case we needed a bit of irony thrown into the debate, consider this – removal of an accused’s right to a jury trial is being mooted while the rapist of a child gets community service after being found guilty. He couldn’t be jailed after politicians decided that guilty persons under 25 should not be imprisoned.ONCE again, the contempt for Scotland shines through in the language being used by Westmonster politicians.
