Political Party Slogans = Propaganda

The Labour party conference slogan this year is "One Nation" There is at least one obvious flaw in that statement. We are not one nation, we are Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sure, we work together, live together and in Afghanistan, we fight and die together. That, however is as far as it goes. Scotland's parliament is putting together a package to convince Scots that we would be better off seceding from the union. The Welsh Nationalists have the same goal. People in Northern Ireland would like to join with The Republic of Ireland. Does that sound like one nation? One home truth for the Labour Party. They don't want to lose Scotland for the reason that they cannot regain power without the massive Labour vote in Scotland. Blair and now Miliband do not give a toss for Scotland and the Scottish people, in that respect they are no different fron the Tories. The devout Marxist that is Miliband is not to be trusted. His loyalties do not lie with this country, they lie just across the channel in Brussels. He and the party hierarchy are leading us down the road to a Marxist society coated in a Federal EU shell.
Next week it is the Tory turn to bombard us with propaganda. What slogan will they come up with? We have already had "The Big Society" and "We are all in this together" The slogan "Big Society" does not mean a UK society, it means a European society. Yes, Cameron's goal is the exact same goal as Miliband's. cameron does not want to lose Scotland from the union for the simple reason that he and past Tory Prime Ministers right back to Thatcher loved ruling the Scots without ever having a legal mandate to do so. The fact that Thatcher decided to try out her Poll Tax policy in Scotland and nowhere else was an illegal act and she got away with it. After massive protests all over Scotland including a no pay policy, she made the huge blunder of wheeling the Poll Tax out in the rest of the UK. That proved to be one huge nail in her political coffin. Protests and riots ensued and soon after she was stabbed in the back by her "loyal" collegues. Her slogan was "The Lady's Not For Turning" After the Poll Tax fiasco she turned alright, right out the front door of No 10. The sight of her in floods of tears gave me a warm glow i'm not ashamed to say.
To sum up, political slogans are in themselves, meaningless. They are just slogans thought up by the various party spin doctors (liars) They mean nothing and should be treated as you would treat a phrase from a talking parrot.
