I wouldn't expect Ian Murray to care about what you've written far less understand the economics in your argument.
Unfortunately Ian Murray is my MP too. I wrote to him regarding the petition to abolish the recording of 'non-hate crime incidents). I got a mealy-mouthed response talking about how these "can involve sensitive and complex issues, and it is important that an appropriate balance is struck between freedom of expression and safeguarding vulnerable individuals and communities." I wrote back with a further challenge but nil response.
I expect you'll get a similarly meaningless fudged 'answer' complete with banal slogans and pathetic platitudes.
I wonder if he still has his little pontificating coffee chats on Saturday morning in Waitrose on Morningside Road? Or maybe he doesn't he doesn't require that now that the local constituents have turned Edinburgh South into a safe seat for this most aspiring of career politicians?
It might be worth having a look in if only to give him a piece of your mind.
Thanks, Stephen. I'm sending the letter to the National and an abbreviated version to the Scotsman and Herald. But you're right - he either won't respond or have one of his assistants draft a letter based on the dreadful Liz Kendall talking points. The Viceroy has much bigger fish to fry - like screwing Scotland - than to respond to a lowly constituent like me who has made no secret of the fact that I loathe his party.
I seeth with anger when I see politicians use Thatcher's argument for austerity that ".. government is like a household and households balance their budgets". I seeth even more when I hear a supposedly "Labour" Chancellor use the same argument. The Government has a central bank with a fiat currency, it can create money whenever it needs it and taxation is the means to cancel money that has previously been spent. There is no need to balance the "books" and £5Bn is a drop in the ocean compared to the £100s of billions the treasury regularly transacts monthly. Reeves is economically illiterate in this manic obsession and Labour under Starmer seems to be morphing into a neoliberal party I no longer recognise.
LINO is controlled by the globalist banking cabal. Starmer, Reeves and the rest of the LINO crew plan to enrich themselves once they leave office. It’s why Reeves called the City the UK Crown Jewels.
Thanks Leah. Murray's a grifter, he does not give one hoot about anyone but himself and definitley not one hoot about Scotland and the people here.
I like R. Murphy, he doesn't really like the SNP at all though. Yesterday he put out a YTube video about the state of the world, being angry and, political parties and politicians. He included the 'SNP' in his critique of how cruel and bad those political parties and their MP's etc are, re cruel cuts etc.
I was pretty angered by is likening the SNP to Labour and the Tories and no doubt 'Reform' etc when the SNP, not perfect ny any means, are attempting to mitigate UkEngGOv austerity and cruel assault on the poorest and ost vulnerable, against huge odds of EngGov fiscal restrictions and some reserved policies holding the ScotGov back. Just have to look at how the EngGov attempted to stop the SNP writing children's rights into Scots Law. etc.
So I wonder what Mr.Murphy would rather see in place of the SNP in Scotland? The Greens? I don't know but, his tarring the SNP and thereby Scotland with the same brush as the EngGov and terrible political parties is exactly what the BritNats will be delighted to see. Sigh.
Nice one.
