Yellow Peril: The SNP Bad Campaign

by Pat Anderson

The election of 56 SNP MPs to Westminster, out of a possible 59, and the SNP majority at Holyrood frightened the wits out of the Scottish and UK Establishments. It seemed as if, despite the Referendum result, Scottish independence was still very much a live topic and a distinct possibility. Rather than take the risk of another referendum, which this time might result in a YES vote, everything possible was done to forestall it. This, of course, involved discrediting the SNP. Such a tactic had paid dividends in the Referendum, after all. And so, our elective representatives, both at Holyrood and at Westminster, were undermined constantly. Everything the SNP did was criticised, while our MPs and MSPs were smeared and vilified. Not that the Establishment needed to sully its hands; the Labour Party and the media were more than happy to do the job for it.

About the author

Although born in Paisley I was brought up in Glasgow and consider myself a Glasgwegian. I worked as a primary-school teacher for 17 years. I am quite an eclectic reader and have a habit of returning to books I have read before. Most of the books I own I have read at least three times each. I have been writing for years now and hoping that somebody, somewhere likes it!

Reviews

[Susan Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book that you will either love or hate, depending which side of the Scottish Independance debate you fall on. That aside if you start the book with an open mind it raises some interesting points, which may make you look at thngs slightly differently.

Well written and easy to read the author gets their point across in a clear manner without resorting to jargon making this very easy to read.
