The Poison Of Scotland's Darling

The Poison Of Scotland’s Darling…

The Darling of a Westminster crew,
deep in chambers he learned the trade.
Of steering a course however true,
their deceitful agenda was to be made.

Awake or asleep it never mattered,
cash would flow into their coffers.
In simple terms the man was flattered,
when seeing the price tag with the offers.

See Scotland was only his place of birth,
merely coincidence just a stepping stone.
Using our proud land for all it’s worth,
this proud peacock would soon be flown.

Down to London where his heart was set,
a place that encapsulated his every vice.
This was where greed outweighed regret,
a lordship for his country, how very nice.

Then the crash, banks were in meltdown,
Brown and his Darling rushed to their aid.
They had to borrow to save the vice town,
the weakest would suffer to get the debt paid.

It mattered not, like his own country’s fate,
just one large step on his road to power.
He’d fall in line arguing little Britain’s great,
abandoning country for Westminster’s shower.

Traitor to the many, hero for the status quo,
he thought he’d soon strut London’s street.
But I dearly believe Scotland’s about to go,
forward with our freedom, a new future, sweet.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
This is a Scot who fights against our freedom....

I only hope that the vote on Thursday will be correct.
Correct for the people of these Islands, not those useless politicians, who are only there for their own personal gains.
I have heard nothing on what this is going to do to the average Scottish family.
I don't care how you dress it up It is showing how corrupt the running of these Islands are.
England with the blood of many on their hands, people stealing on expenses, a general carry on, no real thought for the average person, still a very rich place to be, but we still muddle on and seem to come out the other side very well.
There is no mention of what the real future will hold for the Scottish people should they become independent, so many stupid false statements, when will they tell the truth, I fear the independent future for the Scottish people, with their present leaders saying things that they have no control over, the wee Pound, I hear them say about how the Pound is theirs, because they founded the bank of England, do I have to send my TV back also ????
There is a load of crap being said and it is not going to do the average person trying to look out for their family.
A problem that is going to hurt a load of people for no reason.
Cant say I hope sense will prevail as that has been destroyed,
A very good few points you make here though,
Yours Ian.T

The people of Britain, and Scotland deserve better representaion when it comes to policy. Scotland will i hope vote for a split from the uk, forcing the other parties remaining to work harder for the people. I hope the remaining voters in the uk will demand a referendum on more freedom for local councils, bringing the politicians closer to home where people can remove them when they don't follow the pledges made in their manifesto. Anyway enough politics, thank you for reading and commenting. Regards Roscoe....

Good, well-written and much-needed piece of work, Roscoe, It isn't easy to write on a subject you may be too close to. In this case you nailed that slimey limey with a good handful of salt and watch the slug writhe.
Well done Good write...................Three days to go, there will be tears on Friday, but of joy or despair?????

Regards

Ian

The people of Scotland have won without the stress of having to be alone in this nasty world of greed and corruption.
Now all it needs is a strong local government to use its powers as it can do.
Good luck Scotland in this now evolving collection of countries we love so much, that you have started the new way of the UK democracy is a credit to your people.
I am glad that the border patrol job they offered me is no longer needed, and I laid off all my stone masons now that the new Hadrian's wall is no longer needed.
Thank you all for being the great nation you are and I hope those ass holes in Westminster honour their promises I shall wait in hope, Yours Ian.T

A good write, especially in the context of the present scenario unfolding in your part of the world. Though i am far from politics, sharing some mute points :-

1. More often than not, there is a consensus on "Politics is a dirty game"
2. People get the government they deserve / voted to power
3. Divide and rule has been generally the policy of UK, e.g.Partition of India - Pakistan. Is UK getting a taste of their own medicine?

Thank you, and your correct in your observations. The world of politics is a dirty game to some of our leaders, and they seem to love it. I hope things change for our children. Regards Roscoe...

Just read on internet that the referendum has gone in favor of or is heading towards a No for split. 55% to 45%. I am not the affected party irrespective of the outcome. Don't know if that was disappointing for you and supporters of a Yes for the split.

Devastated raj, we had it and let it slip. People were frightened to death by the no campaign leaders going on about economic meltdown, a lie they constantly paraded. We could survive alone but now we may never know, back to westminster and the status quo..PS and perhaps a lordship for mister darling and brown, that's the way westminster bought favour in the past. Thank you Regards Roscoe...
