You want revolution?

This week I watched the interview between Russell Brand and Jeremy Paxman for Newsnight. I took me a while to get round to this as I was experiencing a shit internet connection followed but a house move. Now that I've watched it I must say I'm ashamed that it was even aired and am horrified by the complete ignorance of the two. Listening to Russell Brand call for revolution while asking people not the vote, in the complete ignorance that in the next twelve months that the UK may well be cleaved in half due to a democratic referendum on Scottish independence next year was astounding. In the meantime Jeremy just nodded along like Winston the dog. This was on a global scale a classic example of why Scotland should leave the Union now and forever. It's because the English and I say English specifically here don't care and have hardly noticed what is going on north of the border. No doubt they have tried to shut their eyes over the last 15 years or so; to free higher education, free personal care, free prescriptions and much much more. How could is it be possible that such change was possible? I'll give you a clue. We voted for it. We decided fuck this shit, were given an opportunity to vote for something different and we have. This first started with a vote for devolution back in 1997, and the subsequent elections since, that resulted in the election of the SNP which are now offering us the opportunity to vote for Scottish independence. It's been the biggest revolution in British politics in centuries, not only that the agreement between Westminster and Scotland to allow Scotland to vote for independence is politically ground breaking. The prospect of independence with out one shot fired. And yet despite all this these two numpties sit on the television talking about the disenfranchised not voting to create revolution. When actually what they should be doing it telling everyone and their aunt to vote for Scottish independence. If that doesn't give Westminster government a wake up call, what will? And when the English and I say english specifically here sit back and watch in horror as Scotland rolls out better quality of life, better healthcare, better education, corporate tax, increases minimum wage; will they soon see it is the English system of governance, their shared values and apathetic attitude to both the political system and to voting that has lead them as a nation to moral and political bankruptcy. If that doesn't start a riot or indeed some form of political revolution, nothing will. Yes Russell Brand you want revolution you should be asking, begging, pleading for the sake of the English people that Scotland votes for independence.
