Scottish Labour Party Reviews 2

STILL CORBANITES STILL PRO HAMAS STILL ANTI SEMENITE SURE LET THEM KNOW AND "TRY" TO "DENY" IT

One can only speculate that, as with a body that has been plagued by some disease, parasite, or spirochete that hides in the tissues and evades the immune system, that the Labour party just hasn't recovered from the ravaging effects of Tony Blair and his Tory-in-sheep's-clothing accomplices. And like a body recovering from its illness, the Labour party - at least in Scotland - is very tired and its members just too busy expending the last of their energies doing the dishes to respond to correspondence from the citizens they were employed to represent.

I wrote to my Labour MP asking for help with the DWP and received not only no help, but not even a reply to several letters. I now no longer receive disability benefits to which I am legally entitled, thanks to the DWP caring more about their budget than about the chronically ill and disabled citizens of this country, many of whom helped make the money available to constitute that budget. The local Labour MP's apparent lack of interest in helping me as a disabled constituent when I needed his help several months ago is synonymous with the present Tory government's lack of interest in the poor, sick, disabled, disenfranchised. Labour, Tory, Pepsi, Coke...

Similarly, I've written to Labour councillors in Scotland who are local to me (one even lives down the road) and received not so much as an acknowledgement. The Scottish Labour Party office, likewise, hasn't bothered to respond. One can only guess that 'they're all too busy' doing the important work of....well, what exactly? Playing with their iPhones and Twitter accounts? Isn't representing the real life interests and needs of the people the raison d'etre of any political party...in theory anyway? This is what they would have us believe in any case.

Is it any wonder that ordinary people have just lost faith in all political parties and all politicians and public servants? Is it any wonder people have stopped voting, cynically worn down by the years of false promises, big words and no action, save those actions that continue to serve the individual politician's ego and the elites, the banks and corporations they serve? Not to mention the public relations gestures that come when we force their hands? Is it any wonder that the UK is a shadow of its former self, morally, socially and culturally, and looks like it will never recover to anything remotely resembling sovereignty?

We thought Blair-Bush was bad. He was Labour - ahem, 'new' Labour - and he didn't listen to the millions who told him not to go to war with Iraq, including Dr Kelly, who told the truth about no WMDs ended up dead in a staged suicide. We thought Cameron-Obama was bad for largely similar reasons. May-Trump is bad for every reason. And the three things they all have in common is that they have successfully increased the poverty gap, habitually stood 'shoulder to ankle' with the USA's murderous foreign policy, and....most of all, simultaneously ignored the opinions of the people, just like Scottish Labour...

I will never vote for Labour again after this.
