Scottish "Government" are idiots
The Scottish "Government" (it's a fake government, like the EU government) has released from prison the guy who blew up Pan Am flight 103. He killed hundreds of people, and was sentenced to "life" in prison.
Funny, he doesn't look dead.
People are predictably in an tizzy over this, and can't understand how the Scottish "government" could do this. Actually, that's pretty easy. All you need is perspective.
Scotland is like Alabama, only colder and not as friendly. Population and GDP are very similar, at around 5 million and $170B/year each. The weather's nicer in Alabama, but other than that, they're both mid-sized industrialized societies. I can personally attest to the fact that both are nice places. Edinburgh has great ancient architecture, but Montgomery is totally charming in a Mayberry-RFD-sort-of-way.
So how come you never see the Alabama government do things of such epic idiocy? Simple: the Alabama government hasn't puffed itself up to think it's a national "Government". Alabama has Georgia (not to mention every Ivy League graduate) to point out their every mistake. So who tells the Scottish "government" that they're idiots?
Besides us, of course.
And so, as a public service to the Scottish "Government", here is where they can get advice on how not to be idiots:
Office of the Governor of Alabama
+1 (334) 242-7150
No need to thank me, it's all part of being a Full Service blog. Just think of it as my little contribution to "Smart Diplomacy".

The scots are still whining about losing at Culloden Moor. Meh. The South had a better chance of winning than Bonnie Prince Charlie's boys.
ReplyDeleteAs to Alabama, unlike Scotland, Alabamians can and do still practice the arts of self defense. Scotland has gone full pink pussy hat, turning what was once a fiercely independent people into a Borg-ish collective.
Don't care about Scotland as my people got out before stupid took over. Spencers all the way!!!
Nichola Sturgeon.
