Politics is like a game of chess, you make a threat when developing strategies which will limit the opponent’s freedom of choice. The SNP and Lib-Dems missed the chance to make a powerful statement and make Labour feel dispensable. It was only a matter of time before the Prime Minister gets his wish for a general election, but he needed the support of the opposition parties. Labour, the leader of the opposition parties denied the government this support, that then meant the Conservative party needed the support of the Lib-Dems and SNP which if they had given, would have positioned them as a strong opposition; the parties to reckon with, but they failed to do that and the Labour Party have now seized the initiative as a result of the SNP and Lib-Dems failure to support a general election, they lost the opportunity to seize the moment, now they look invisible in the corridors of power.

Packed full of those who wants to thwart Brexit, the House of Commons has held the country hostage for years now. Regardless of which side of the debate you belong; whether you hate the idea of Britain leaving the EU or you embrace the notion of Britain operating independently outside the EU, surely you must restrain your feelings against the rule of law, the rule that an election result has to be enforced. All the Parties in Westminster perhaps with the exception of the Scottish National Party (SNP) stood on a manifesto in 2017 general election that they would honour the result of the referendum, with the exception of the Conservative party, all have to honour that pledge. Since when does the UK, a front runner in democracy become a mediocre, where the new normal is to turn against the will of the people. Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green, Plaid Cymru, all now what no Brexit. Again, surely, if we still want to be regarded as a democratic society, we must respect the rules of democracy, it’s winner takes it all. And all the MPs who have put party over country including a few in the Conservative party should and must now pay the price in the next election. It’s been a disgrace watching opposition politicians playing politics with the people’s mandate. The electorate must now use their rarely given power to send a strong message in the next general election, no to the traitors of democracy.

Robert Adaway was reported missing from Thurso, Caithness, on 9 June 1982 – his 18th birthday.

Robert had recently left Thurso High School and was due to study at Glasgow University later in 1982. He was described as solitary but had several close friends and was keen on music and sports. He was often seen walking in the Thurso area with the family dog.

Robert’s mother saw him at home in Princes Street early on Wednesday 9 June and he was seen several times in Thurso by friends and relatives. There were further possible sightings over the next few days at various places across the Caithness area, many near roads which could mean Robert was hitch-hiking.  Continue reading “Police re-opens investigation into man who went missing 30 years ago” →
