A Scottish Blog has given Plaid an Election leaflet/

My favourite blog from Scotland is not Wings over Scotland (though it is excellent ) but MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC  a witty, informative and on sSunday's give us a brief respite from the nitty gritty of political life.

Munguin  recently whilst reporting on the hypocrisy ignorance  of the nature of devolved  powers in Scotland.

 As Munguin writes,

When Mr Corbyn came to Scotland to welcome yet another new incumbent to the leadership of the Scottish Branch of the British Labour Party, both of them talked, frankly, a load of guff about ‘a far away country full of people about whom they apparently knew nothing’ to paraphrase Mr Chamberlain.
The massive clanger, of course, was the demand from Mr Leonard that the Scottish government must take back Scottish Water into public ownership. To do that of course, the Scottish government would first have to sell it off to private enterprise, something that wasn’t done before.
A common theme from Labour is that the Scottish government has done nothing to alleviate the effects of austerity imposed on the poor (but not the rich), by the British Tories [a party of government (in the UK) and opposition (in Scotland) you’d have been excused for thinking that two supposedly left wingers would have been anxious to ridicule, particularly given that they ARE ridiculous].

I’ve always excused Corbyn’s ignorance of Scotland (he didn’t for example, know that there was such a thing as Scots Law), because he is a London MP who has always been just that: a back-bencher mainly concerned with his London constituents (and from what a hear, a damned good one too).
On the other hand, although Mr Leonard is an Englishman, he has been resident in Scotland for some time. He has been a member of the Scottish parliament for a couple of years now and he has just become the leader of  Labour’s Scottish branch. It would be reasonable to expect him to know something of what’s going on here.
Perhaps Mr Corbyn and Mr Leonard might like to take a look at what Scotland has done with its limited powers and compare them with what the Welsh LABOUR government has done with their, albeit more limited, powers.

But for us in Wales Munguin provides us with a comparison  between the SNP government in Scotland and Labour running the Welsh Assembly the latter being in power since the Assembly's beginning.


 

If I was a Plaid strategist I would use this in leaflets for the next Assembly and General Elections.

We need to expose the Labour leadership in its hypocritical call for the SNP to do more against austerity in Scotland ,

Jeremy Corbyn has every right to call for the government in Holyrood to do more and should make a case for what they would do.

But we have nothing but silence from St Jeremy over Labour's running of the Welsh Assembly where even if we take into to account Carwyn Jones does not have the same powers as Nicola Sturgeon, "Welsh Labour have failed those affected by the polices of the Tories and their former Lib Dem bag carriers in London.

Not only that I have yet to see any calls from Labour for Wales ti have parity with Scotland.

Perhaps Mr Corbyn like his pro Brexit stance believes that keeping the people of Wales as  poor West Britons will mean that they continue to blame the Tories and vote for Labour so that one day we  can enter into a London Centric "Socialist New Dawn".

Even if  this could happen I doubt that we will cease to be the poorest part of the UK.

Our solution is not to vote for Unionist no matter haw Left Wing they claim they are, but  to follow Scotland lead in replacing Labour in the Welsh Assembly and laying the ground work for Independence.
