Tony Kenny

At the Scottish Referendum Debate hosted by Victoria Derbyshire, on Monday the 16th September 2013, at the Old Fruitmarket Candleriggs Glasgow, I was more than considerably impressed when Tony Kenny started to participate in the debate, I could not help but notice a particular style and technique that I had only seen three times before. Tony Kenny became the political matador, who outmaneuvered all the No campaigns heavy's, by delivering his side of the Argument that " Scotland was stinkin rich "and he continued, " money we won't spend on nuclear weapons, money we won't spend criminalizing people for the crime of being poor, and we won't use the money to invade foreign countries." Tony continued to stress that this was crucial, for so many of us who want to build a better society and he highlighted the irrefutable fact that the child poverty in the East End of Glasgow was actually higher than that of the open prison on the Gaza Strip saying not 1 in 5 but 1in 2 and 1in 3 in the East End. Tony went on to say that he canvassed Barrowfield and Shettleston and that he didn't come across one No voter. Tony again stated strongly that we're currently criminalizing people for being poor and again referred to using Scotland's vast wealth in order to create a more progressive society and stated that " we are on the cusp of doing something fantastic and want to create a progressive beacon " that his friends in England see us as something that's going to change England. Tony said, that Scottish independence would show people in England how the Scottish Government treats its people, and act as a springboard to make a fairer society in England. I really believe that Tony Kenny's contribution to this debate will go down in history as a lot of people in Scotland will digest deeply the statements Tony has made, act on them, and equally important remember them. I'm a pensioner and used to participate in local politics and industrial rally's and in my opinion his contribution is exemplary and of the highest calibre.
