Dear David,
I write in response to your letter of 26 September
in which you say that you are unwilling to debate the future of Scotland
with me, the future King of Scotland.
The government which you lead is central to the entire
referendum debate from the perspective of the No campaign - even although none of you English oppressors get to vote. The reality
is that your government continues to make decisions affecting Scotland because that is what the electorate voted for…
this annoys me because I believe I am the reincarnation of William Wallace.
No. I'm serious.
The fundamental argument at the heart
of the case for independence is that I get to have total power and get a huge entourage and get treated like a small African potentate.
Stuff the economics, I know they don't work but I really don't care.
It's all about me.
There is worrying
evidence that under the current constitutional arrangements your
government intends to cut spending in Scotland. However, that wouldn't be anything like the £ 6bn which the Institute of Fiscal Studies tells us that an independent Scotland would have to cut from the current public spending budget between 2016 - 18 just to meet EU Maastricht Treaty borrowing requirements.
Senior Tory figures,
including Ruth Davidson, have called for the current Barnett Formula to
be abolished. I believe that a debate on such a crucial issue should
take place so I can launch my own Project Fear by insinuating that you might plan to cut public
spending in Scotland in the event there is a No vote. I will obviously be saying nothing about the comparatively impoverishing cuts which I, the newly elected King of New Caledonianalbania, would have to impose on my unsuspecting minions in order to turn the 2.3% deficit into the EU required 3.1% surplus.
You
suggested in Scotland last year that you had an alternative
constitutional position to independence. That is one alternative more than me, so fair play to you on that one. People have the right to know
what it is before the referendum takes place. They certainly won't be hearing that from me of course.
Finally, you
suggest I should debate with the chairman of the No campaign Alistair
Darling. I’m sure that other debates will take place in due course but
for the reasons I have made clear the key debate has to be between the
head of the Scottish Government – the First Minister of Scotland (that makes me like Obama and Putin by the way son) - and the head of the elected Westminster government – the UK Prime Minister.
The case for a head-to-head debate between us is unanswerable. You should reconsider.
Or else............ I'm gubbed.

Greetings great Bravebelly from you're oppressed brothers in Cymru "CYMRU RYDD" We too are in a battle to cast aside our chains and like you we also have a Princess, unfortunately though our Princess Leanne is non too bright and has yet to learn the art of diverting awkward questions by dragging up century old prejudices (maybe a word in her ear from yourself) anyhow I'm led to believe the New Caledonia will have an open door immigration policy? that is not such a good idea as here in Cymru "CYMRU RYDD" there is 3 million of your Celtic brothers mouths to feed before you let in Johny foreigner. Cymru "CYMRU RYDD" is currently running a 15 billion annual deficit to the Anglo Saxons but we have a cunning plan! without our water the Saxons crops will fail and without our electricity which we give to England for free their lights will go out and once the population start missing episodes of Coronation Street there will be anarchy on the streets which will lead to the Saxons waiving our 15 billion deficit.
ReplyDeleteWe Cymry "CYMRU RYDD" take great pride in our Celtic purity (unless they can play Rugby) and feel we should have our cut of the crude, the great Bravebelly has spelt out how the New Caledonia will be awash with cash after freedom so by our calculations about 35% of the black stuff belongs to us in Cymru "CYMRU RYDD"
Best Wishes.
Owen Ap Glendour
