I finally got round to listening to Sir Keir Starmer's "car crash" interview with Martin Geissler on the BBC Sunday Show and all that this undemocratic clown managed to do was confirm that if you vote Labour, you get the same failed Tory policies. Re the constitutional issue, he "slammed the door" on a referendum even if the UK Supreme Court endorsed the right of the Scot govt to hold it (although the claim of right is a stronger argument that overrides such a premise anyway!!). Starmer shamelessly body-swerving the whole issue and being a prat in the process, a prat who is clearly "out of touch" with what is happening in Scotland politically. Geissler assertively "took him to task" by challenging him on his insistence that he protects democracy across the UK, BUT DENYING IT IN SCOTLAND????? WHY???? It's because we are regarded as second-class citizens by Starmer and others like him who are embracing a RW philosophy and shamelessly endorsing Brexit with no solutions to overcome all the problems - Geissler reminding him that well over 70% of the electorate in Scotland are now opposed to Brexit (and about 78% want to see a return to the EU asap!) and neither the Tories or the Labour Party are being honest with voters about the sustained damage Brexit will continue to do. He also thinks we are in a voluntary union??? Utter bullshit when one listens to the dismissive nature of his response to the sovereign rights of the Scottish people. He has literally wiped out any chance of a smidgeon of Scot Labour electoral success up here - totally f###### clueless (together with the useless Anas Sarwar) and unaware of why they have failed in Scotland for over 15 years as they persist to poo-poo the constitutional issue!! IMO every Scottish household should be provided with a rerun broadcast of this interview and how the Labour Party hierarchy view Scotland and the Scot electorate. It's the fact they don't even disguise their blatant disregard of our democratic rights to self-determination.
