Head Staggered *

Most - if not all? - of the British state's nuclear weapons are based in Scotland. Scotland has its own government. The head of this government believes that the people of Scotland, through its own government, should play a part in next year's discussions on the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The head of the Scottish government writes to all 188 heads of state of those governments who have signed up to the treaty asking them to agree to his request to put a seat in the discussion room for a Scottish government representative. For doing this, the Labour Party accuse the head of the Scottish government of "undermining Britain's foreign policy." A British government minister, David Cairns (never heard of him), says that Alex Salmond "seeks to cavort across the world stage with his discredited looney left policies."
But the best of the twisted logic which is the Labour Party comes from an unnamed source who says: "For Alex Salmond to seek an alliance with Iran and South Korea is an unpardonable folly."
I was very angry after reading such quotes in this story yesterday.
Don't know if I can ever vote Labour again, whether in local or national elections!
