Jim Murphy and Race Propaganda

race-gate goes on

I was pondering, as I often do, whether I've taken things too far. Is it possible that my last blog is OTT? Could it be that there is a conspiracy to undermine the SNP leadership? Are our political opponents (whose idiot legions terrorise the English by claiming we Nats stoke up Anglophobia) actually indulging in trying to associate the SNP in a disgraceful way with Muslim immigrants?

Why was the story about Sturgeon and Abdul Rauf given such prominance by newspaper editors who knew full well that the story merited a mention but is not the national scandal they tried to portray it as? Is there a co-ordinated campaign to demonise Salmond and co as terrorist sympathisers?

Is the race card being played? Who is soft on fraudulant immigrants? Who is soft on terrorists? Who was against the war?

Not New Labour apparently. The Herald and others frothed at the gob, jumped up and down and idiodically reported calls for resignations. There was an obvious smear campaign going on. Conducted from where?

The Ministry of Truth aka The Scotland Office. Couple of phone calls from Murphy followed by sit down strategy meeting. On the agenda? Winning the election. How? Branding the SNP subtly as terrorist sympathisers and Labour as tough on immigrants. Job done, see you same time next week boys. Don't get this wrong or I'll call the owners of the paper. Now we know what Murphy's job actually is.

Yes, no sooner had The Herald shocked us all by the SNP throwing their lot in with fraudsters, and Muslim ones at that, than The Herald published a lovely article about how Murphy is going to be tough on immigrants. Just what the Daily Record readership needed to hear after losing their jobs. The economy is to do with brown not Brown you understand:

Murphy: Immigrants must accept core British values














So, they've given up the Asian vote in Govan then? Nicola Sturgeon MSP for Govan and Scotland's biggest Asian population gets to keep them but Labour gets the white vote. Did this show up in Murphy's focus groups well? In Govan especially eh? But all across their impoverished core constituency too. Nice smile eh? Just the man to stop the Pakies from stealing the rest of our jobs.

There was also a story to go with the subtext:

..reflects the need for new immigrants to accept core British values - to obey the law, speak English and pay taxes.

Don't you see Jim? Fraud is a core British value thanks to your party. Gordon's bail-outs Jim? Gordon and Mervin's 'quantative Easing' Jim? Cash for questions? Cash for access? Lobbygate? Use of the Scotland Office for party political propaganda and appealing to racial prejudices at that Jim?

Obey the Law Jim? Like Labour MP Jim Devine? Tony Blair and his illegal war, Jim? Wendy Alexander? I could go for a very long time Jim.

Speaking English Jim? What about our immigrants in Iraq? Do they speak Arabic in Labour's illegal war that has killed over a million Iraqis, Jim?

No sooner had the SNP leadership been pilloried for 'supporting' Asian fraudsters than Murphy was oozing round radio stations with carefully worded messages about being 'firm but fair' with immigrants.

This is creepy stuff. I see what you're doing Jim. I have you and your corrupt, warmongering party in my nostrils Murphy.
