The Scottish Conservative Party set up a "think tank" called Reform Scotland in 2008 (not long after SNP came to power for the first time) to orchestrate the reform of Scotland via all Scottish Parties.
In 2011 SNP Scottish Government minister Jim Mather, former Scottish Conservative finance spokesman Derek Brownlee, former Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander, Jeremy Purvis, former Scottish Liberal Democrat economy and finance spokesman all stood down to join the Scottish Conservative Party's Reform Scotland think tank together.
The staff of Reform Scotland consists of Geoff Mawdsley, former "Chief Political Adviser to the leader of the Scottish Conservative Party. He started his career as a Researcher in Scottish Conservative Central Office and later became Head of Research. He then went into public relations and public affairs, latterly with GPC. From 1992-96, he was a councillor on City of Edinburgh District Council and former Tory Candidate in 2001 General Election.
Mawdsley worked for lobbying firm Graying Political Strategy where Peter Gummer, brother of Tory MP John Gummer, is the CEO with Labour Peer Viscount Chandos is also on the board.
The only other staff member listed for Reform Scotland is Alison Payne who began her career within the Scottish Conservative MSPs’ Research Unit, going on to spend four years as Head of Research. She later went on to become Political Adviser to Annabel Goldie MSP, Leader of the Scottish Conservative Group of MSPs. This role included acting as adviser to the Scottish Conservative Policy Advisory Group which was independent of the party.Before joining Reform Scotland, Alison was a senior account manager with PPS, which provides lobbying, communications and consultation advice to the property and development industry.
Former Tory MSP Derek Brownlee is on Reform Scotland's advisory board along with Siohban Mathers, former Policy Convenor and regularly a candidate of the Scottish Liberal Democrats
Former Labour MP Tom Harris who tried to become Leader of the Scottish Labour party in 2011 after Sarah Boyack (who colluded with Alex Salmond and Jim Sillars when they and their 79 group were attempting to take over SNP) and Jim Murphy's review of Scottish Labour. Susan Deacon was also plotting with them - she is now head of the Tory Institute of Directors and on the board of a Scottish University - Tom Harris is a member of Labour Friends of Israel and writes for the Telegraph.
Former RBS man and convenor for 450 SNP councillors - SNP councillor Paul McLennan (pictured left) is also on the Tory advisory board along with John Glen, Chief Executive of Buccleuch, John is responsible for the business interests of the Buccleuch family along with banking and investment company types
And those SNP, Labour and Lib Dems on the Reform Scotland advisory board are led by chairman who is Alan McFarlane, co-founded Dundas Global Investors and prominent member of the Better Together anti-independence campaign.
What will Nicola's chosen Reform Scotland's "expert" (on what precisely) NOT tell you about basic income - i.e. government gives everyone (for now) £500 a month free to allow corporations to put everyone on zero hour contracts, governments and corporations no longer provide pensions, everything you earn taxed at between 48% and 73% to pay for basic income for all - so with NI and VAT, 11 green taxes on electricity, bag tax, sugar tax - and all the other stealth taxes and charges 100% of wages are taxed and we have nothing left to live on and pay bills but basic income (which of course will then be cut and sanctions imposed later).
Never mind we can all switch to the Scottish Greens if we don't agree with all this collusion between the Scottish Conservative party, SNP, Scottish Labour and Scottish Lib Dems who are working together to impose Tory reforms together on Scotland - Labour controlled Fife and Glasgow Councils saying to SNP and their so called "lib dem" Reform Sotland tory plant - we will let you use people in our area to be the Old Tory / New SNP / New Labour and New Lib Dem Tory Reform Scotland guinea pigs (for Westminster.)
Afraid not, as you guessed it Scottish Greens, the party I have not mentioned so far, are Reforming Scotland for the Tories too - as Reform Scotland tweeted a picture of Patrick Harvie, who was educated at a university in England, doing his bit for Tory Reform Scotland too.
Tory MSP Bill Bowman tweeting pictures of his fellow Tory MSP Murdo Fraser giving his thoughts on how things are ticking over for the Tories in Scotland in his speech to Reform Scotland too.
Martin Sime, chief executive of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) joined the MSP's on the same day in Reform Scotland - as the "Big Society" is about unelected quangos and unelected charities controlling all Scotland's budgets via MSP's stripping councils of their powers and transferring them all (and the budgets that go along with the powers) to unelected corporate, quango and charity boards filled with Tories who appoint themselves to these boards.
The London Tories set up Reform UK think tank in London where all the parties collude together - all funded by big corporations - New Labour even organising it's general election campaign via this tory think tank.
Reform Scotland wanted Devo Plus (devo max)- they got it - after Alex Salmond suggested Devo Max was very attractive in 2012 in a speech in America, with Alex Salmond lobbying hard to get Devo Max on the Scottish Referendum ballot paper.
Reform Scotland want air passenger duty cut - so SNP say they will do it for them.
Alex Salmond's New SNP has chosen a host of Reform Scotland people to be the ones to recommend how Scotland's laws are Reformed and followed every recommendation.
SNP chose Kier Bloomer from Reform Scotland's advisory board, to create the Tory Curriculum for Excellence which restricts Scotland's children, even the brightest, to only being able to sit 6 subjects (at most) and literacy and numeracy skills have been devastated across Scotland since this Tory curriculum for disaster was forced on every school by these political parties who devised it together via a Scottish Tory think tank.
Why do this - because now they are using their changes to claim radical "reform" no matter how unpopular (rolling out Tory academy chains and free schools - Westminster Tory policy Swinney tries to disguise as "clusters of schools" and "autonomous schools" - so the entire £4 billion education budget is out of our control, so like the Tory Party Treasurer in England, they can sypyhon education funds into Cayman Island funds - Thatcher stole the milk, Swinney attempting the biggest Scottish Tory heist in our history, to steal the entire £4billion annual educat budget, forever -
Rupert Murdoch can be found pedalling the propaganda for Swinney without making clear it is SNP curriculum for disaster that has caused the disastrous slump in education standards or that it is Westminster Tory policy that is the unpopular policy Swinney intends to implement by stealth and misleading the nation - why parents say they cannot understand a word of the "consultation"
.
Swinney's consultation was made to ensure parents did not understand what his proposals really were with parents complaining to the Scottish Parent Teacher Council (SPTC) that "the consultation was "extremely difficult" to complete with the vast majority of respondents skipping the questions on changes to school governance".
SNP have appointed German Petra Biberbach (centre above), a woman of power in Reform Scotland we are told, to recommend all Scotland's planning laws should be changed, and no surprise this Tory recommended that an unelected quango should hold most planning powers instead of councillors and that scottish planning reporters should be sacked and the unelected quango get their powers too. SNP approved the recommendations of the German Tory from Reform Scotland should be implemented.
Now the Scottish Parliament fund the "planning charity" PAS she just happens to be CEO of (where Alex and Nicola's fellow UK privy Councillor - New Labour's Henry McLeish happens to be the patron of that charity too) - all in it together.
SNP also chose another woman of power from the Tory Reform Scotland think tank Laura Gordon, a corporate lawyer to be Director for Glasgow: Edinburgh Collaboration, an innovative Scottish Government supported economic development initiative between Glasgow and Edinburgh Councils and Scottish Enterprise. Following that, I was Commercial Director of ICS, one of the UK's largest private education services companies. She was appointed as Governor of Glasgow Caledonian University ans is on the board of the Tory Institute of Directors.
If I were to list all the Scottish Conservative Party Reform Scotland power brokers SNP keep selecting to run Scotland and tell 129 MSP's and COSLA what to do - you would be reading this article for days, but I think there is enough evidence above to allow us all to get the picture on what party really runs Scotland via Blair's Tory trojan horse parliament for Westminster.
This proves conclusively why Scotland needs independence not only from Westminster but from all these BETTER TOGETHER parties - and we will teach our children why we had to become independent of them all - because the parties united against the people so the people of Scotland found they had to unite against the parties.
Only 1% of people are in political parties - that is the 1% who rules the 99% for the British Establishment.
There is a solution to all this - and that is for Scotland's people to create a new democracy when they unite to make Scotland independent of them all and restore democracy for our children - one that makes sure no parties can ever again collude to overthrow our democracy by working as a monopoly tory tag team together ever again - and we will teach our children exactly who conspired against us all as Scotland unites to end this age of treason by the people currently ruling all five Scottish parties in power.
Why are they called "parties" - because they are all party to the Tory British Establishment corruption - why even a host of New SNP party leaders are in the UK privy council for life - with Blair, Brown, Gove, Ruth Davidson, Ian Duncan Smith and a host of other Scots who pledged their allegiance to the UK Privy Council party - for life where they are all guaranteed to do very nicely together.
In this age of treason you find most of these MSP's and MP's went to the ancient universities controlled by the UK Privy council - where they are approached to work for the UK privy council for life - a wonderful graduate recruitment scheme - why work for a living when you can lie for a living for life - where existing privy council members in each party will make sure the best of the liars become the future leaders - and they all work together for the UK privy council they all really work for - with a promise of a seat on that UK privy council for life the best misleaders of all.
