Cowabunga! Willie Telfer exposes @joswinson's tax free slice...

It seems that its not only the teenage mutant ninja turtles that developed an affinity for pizza, but also our very own MP the bold Jo Swindon who salivates at the prospect of a delivery from the Dominos man. However in her case its not a wee margarita or four seasons but a bundle of fivers still piping hot delivered all the way from the treasure island of Jersey.

In the last year oor Jo has received ,in two installments,  £8 500 from Brompton Capital, yes you guessed, it's the company that made its fortune bringing the Dominos pizza franchise to the UK.

The company's owner Rumi Verjee who has an estimated worth of £125m has been throwing his dough, so to speak, at parliamentarians for some time now. The main beneficiaries being the lib dems £770k in all. 

Curiously he has also gifted plebgate minister Andrew Mitchell a cheeky wee £11k. The surprise outcome of this was of course. A lib dem peerage. Not bad for a guy whose company apparently employs no one and fails to turn over a profit in the UK.

Although his dealings have been cleared by the Electoral Commission the question our Jo has to answer is. Is she comfortable professing a purge on tax avoiders whilst filling her election kitty with this man's dubious donations.

Watch out for the next course, will Jo come clean and display the corporate roof sign of the pizza giant on her election vehicles or can the electorate be enticed to the ballot box by a free portion of cheesey garlic bread.

GARLIC BREAD. THE DIRTY BASTARDS.

Last weeks Yes Scotland stall

Members of the SSP Campsie branch joined with comrades from the SNP and Green party on the streets of Milngavie, Kirkintilloch, Bishopbriggs and a number of the villages along the Campsies, to deliver a resounding YES WE CAN message to the public.

Neil Scott is pictured with a teeshirt that gives the message "Education, not Trident."  

A YES in 2014 will ensure the billions we pay in the upkeep of these war machines of mass destruction will instead pay for thousands of new teachers, nurses, doctors and in fact  - jobs we need.  

Campsie Socialists at Westerton Yes Public Meeting

Two SSP Campsie members spoke at Yes Westerton today. Dr Sonya Scott spoke on the disasterous Westminster/Tory/Liberal Democrat led welfare cuts and Bill Newman, a retired banker, spoke on the future economy and also his want, as a "sassanach" for a fair-socialist-independent Scotland. Other speakers were the Economist Gordon Macintyre-Kemp and local SNP organiser Ian Macdonald.

Contributions and questions from the floor were lively and those at the top table were properly grilled.

The people of Westerton were concerned with the future of the economy and how fair an independent Scotland will be for their children and grandchildren.

People from across the political spectrum and indeed, age-groups were represented. We had an international audience with Spanish, Australian and other nationalities represented in the meeting. And trades unionists from across the world of labour came along with genuine questions about pensions, wages and working conditions in a future Scotland.

Contributions from the floor and the speakers managed to debunk and smash the national media's biased No campaign claims of Scotland as "too wee and too stupid," - the audience left with no illusions of how resource rich Scotland really is.

Neil Scott, SSP Campsie branch organiser posted this during the meeting-

"One thing all of us here have in common is we want a better world for ourselves, our families and our children.

The campaign is choc full of ideas and there are three main political parties involved as well as non and cross party organisations.

The parties involved are the SSP of which I am a member, the SNP and the Greens.

The vision we have for the route to a better Scotland doesnt really differ that much- but check our websites or speak to us about what our visions are. We all want a fair Scotland- the SSP believe that socialism is the step towards fairness.  All of us agree that a Yes next year will create the ground on which the seeds of equality will be sown..."
