Cathy Jamieson, the low-lights
Cathy Jamieson who is one of the candidates for Labour leadership in Scotland recently failed to turn up at her own press conference, not a very good start to her campaign and worth looking at her career so far, which includes the following lowlights.
Hiring private firm Reliance to transport prisoners, resulting in escapes.
Sending money to her killer nephew while he was on the run after a robbery.
Trying to ban Buckfast tonic wine in a bid to tackle Scotland’s booze culture, leading to threats of legal action from the drinks manufacturer and calls for her resignation.
Presiding over the Shirley McKie finger print fiasco, which ended up costing the Scottish Executive a £750,000 settlement.
Sitting in the justice hot seat as murder and crime rates soared and the UN declared Scotland the most violent country in the developed world.
Heading Labour’s disastrous 2007 Holyrood election campaign, which ended in a humiliating defeat by the SNP.
Not that any of this will stop her getting the job that nobody wants!

Righteous anger & political action:
The British National Party believes in telling the truth, even if it
is sometimes uncomfortable to hear or offensive to those who would
rather bury their heads in the sand than face real problems in our
society.
But while we often pass quite critical comment on the impact of
immigration, multi-culturalism and alien religions on the indigenous
people of our lands, we have no animosity towards immigrants, their
descendants or the followers of non-native religions.
Nor do we intend to encourage others to feel such animosity, or believe that anything we have to say is likely to 'stir up hatred' against anyone.
In fact, we believe that by providing a peaceful and Constitutional outlet for the anger and the frustration felt by millions of our people over the undemocratic transformation of our country by our political masters, the BNP actually defuses tensions.
Where there is 'hate' we seek to turn it into righteous anger and political action against the only people who deserve to be hated - the politicians who use our taxes to turn our country into a place where we often feel like strangers in our own land.

I thing your comments on “Low-Lights” must be on the “Perfect CV” to be in a high poaition in the Rapidly Disintegrating Labour Party.
In some by elections lately the Labour Party have not even bothered to have a candidate! Are they frightened to be humiliated again by the BNP?
Could they even loose this election?
