SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE - NO CAMPAIGN DOOMED : NATIONALISTS ON A ROLL

Now if you were a Scot, seriously pissed off by the way that you and your country have been treated by ten years of Margaret Thatcher’s Tory Government followed by ten years of broken promises from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, who are the very last people you’d want to come up to Scotland to tell you that Scottish Independence is a bad idea and you shouldn’t be voting for it! Yes, with true sensitivity to your feelings joke-joke, the political elite at Westminster have sent you the four politicians you’d most likely want to piss on if you ever had the opportunity… Tory Prime Minister David Cameron, his Coalition sidekick Nick Clegg, creepy Ed Miliband and to cap it all, Dark Gordon, he of the scowling face and strange smile! Yes, Westminster’s sent these political emissaries to you in the hope you’ll believe anything they tell you is true and that they’ve honestly got your best interests at heart. That VOTING NO for Scottish Independence from the United Kingdom is the best and safest thing you can do. That they’ve all got your best interests at heart!

Quite frankly it’s enough to make a cat laugh. Is this Westminster political elite plain stupid or something? Or do they think that most people in Scotland are stupid?

Let’s look at the situation from a broader perspective. From a historical point of view. During the 1980s Margaret Thatcher’s social and economic policies devastated Scotland. The country was used as a Tory Test Bed for the Poll Tax. Her harsh economic policies caused widespread unemployment and social misery when most of the country’s coal mines, shipyards and steelworks were closed and incomes reduced to a dependence on tourism, whisky, shortbread biscuits, tartan and oil revenue that was already fast running out. Oh sorry, did I forget the marmalade! The Scots never forgave Thatcher for what she did. In previous decades Scotland sent a fair number of Tory MPs to Westminster but following her time in power their number fell to just about nothing so that today they send only one MP to Westminster.

Little better was to follow under Tony Blair and New Labour. The traditional Labour vote of Scotland’s industrial working class had already begun to collapse but New Labour with breathtaking arrogance continued to take it for granted. The Scots could expect nothing from Labour and got nothing. The mines and shipyards stayed closed with any prosperity concentrated narrowly along the East coast relying on oil and gas. That was just about it. Large sections of industrial Scotland had once been socialist but under New Labour that kind of thing went out the political window. There was to be no special preference for Scotland under New Labour or help for all the hardships they’d suffered due to industrial decline begun under the Tories. No special treatment at all. Instead, with a special kind of contempt the Scots were hung out to dry! They had their tourism didn’t they along with their whisky and tartan? And the Queen spent a lot of time there didn’t she? Wasn’t that enough to keep them all happy. After all there were only four or five million of them so what was all the bloody fuss about Scotland?

First the Tory vote began to collapse while that of Labour became confined to the slums. The Parties at Westminster were doing nothing for Scotland. They were both damaging the National Health Service so precious and important to the poorly fed Scots and both attacking and undermining the student grants system. Despite all the tourism and heritage the economy continued sliding downhill and professionally qualified Scots with any sense were fast leaving for England. It was against such a background of long term political neglect from the traditional parties that the Scottish Nationalist Party began growing along with widespread support for Independence. It was a movement that continued growing year by year under Blair’s New Labour followed by the ever scowling, impossibly arrogant Westminster Scot, Dark Gordon Brown who represented just about everything his country detested. A Westminster Scotsman gone contemptuous and a socialist gone rotten!

Alex Salmond, leader of Scottish Nationalism, doesn’t need to do much when he points a finger at the politicians of Westminster. When he talks of a Westminster political elite and their contempt for the Scots he’s not talking about any abstraction. He’s talking about the two main political parties who’ve done little to nothing for Scotland in the last forty years and his words have struck home. If he speaks with contempt about how these politicians have taken the people of Scotland for granted over so many years it’s a message that rings true in the ears of so many people. It’s why the Scottish Nationalists have come to head the devolved Government of Scotland. The Tories have all but disappeared, the Lib-Dems are less than a handful and Labour’s on the decline… yet the leaders of these Parties think that the best way to persuade the people of Scotland to trust them is to stay in a Union with Tory England and vote NO to Independence!

It’s a bit like the Westminster jack the lads, having pissed all over them for the last forty years, expect the Scots to get up and say thank you very much for coming to see us and giving us all your promises. Yes, we now feel happy that you’ve promised never to piss on us all over again!

Alas the Westminster political parties have treated the Scots with contempt. And having riled them up badly for so long they’re hoping a bit of sweet talk and a few further promises will be enough. The question is, will the riled up Scots decide to go it alone and separate from those the Nationalists tell them are parasites. If they do the consequences will inevitably devastate the politics of the United Kingdom. David Cameron and his Government who allowed the Scottish Nationalists to choose the wording of a Referendum that favours a YES vote will come under serious strain from his Commons backbenchers and may well be voted from office. Labour will lose the support of 41 Scottish Labour MP’s and may become politically unelectable as a future Westminster Government. Furthermore, any future United Kingdom will  have a potentially hostile nation on its northern border with a revised Union Jack looking more like a joke.

The idea for an Independence Referendum was originally proposed by Gordon Brown. This was later supported and facilitated by a Tory Prime Minister David Cameron. There can be no doubt that neither could have had any idea that it would become a deadly serious reality. They took a very serious gamble with the future of the United Kingdom without the idea ever entering their heads that the gamble could go seriously wrong. Never once asked themselves the serious question… what if it did?

SO WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE MAKE SUCH SERIOUS DECISIONS WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING THEIR CONSEQUENCES?

WELL I’LL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE! THEY’RE CALLED BRITISH PRIME MINISTERS!

Finally a postscript.

Yesterday, David Cameron in Scotland came out with his latest clever political strategy. Addressing the people of Scotland, thinking he’d talk to them heart to heart as it were, he used the word effing… ‘effing Tories’… Such a wonderful wee touch of self-deprecation! Something that some advisor at Tory Central Office in London no doubt suggested he try out. Well you know the Scots… They’re all a bit raw… It was something that would appeal to their level! Go down well with a pint of beer and a haggis! Like that’s what the people of Scotland were really all about! That and their pockets.

Some opinion. Forget they are a people with a great cultural heritage. You could buy their NO vote with a few simple economic threats.

ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM AND THE LABOUR PARTY

These days we increasingly see on our televisions screens or read gruesome stories in our newspapers about Muslim fundamentalists beheading innocent civilians or kidnapping and raping women in countries in Africa and the Middle East along with gang raping innocent teenage girls and forcing them into prostitution in the United Kingdom. The latter we now know has occurred on several occasions. And this kind of conduct in the United Kingdom has run alongside other activities such as trying to take over schools in Birmingham and the north of England for the purpose of indoctrinating young pupils in the Muslim faith as well as running a well-orchestrated campaign of intimation and assault against members of the Jewish Community and behaving in a highly inflammatory way in their support for Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group conducting a war from Gaza against the Jewish State of Israel.

What is particularly disturbing about so much of this is that their most disgusting behaviour, that of the public beheadings, is perpetrated by young British Muslims born and educated in this country who hate non-Muslims enough to clearly enjoy killing them this way and making videos of their actions for public consumption. By doing so their hope is to frighten and terrorize anyone not of their vile persuasion. Interestingly enough, these vicious young killers and their supporters in the wider British Muslim Community are too stupid to know that Hitler and the Nazis tried the same terrorizing tactics against the British people in the Second World War by bombing their cities and killing tens of thousands of people. It didn’t work. The resolve of British people to stand up against such terrorism grew increasingly strong until it simply turned to contempt.

Unless you are one of the many fundamentalist members of the Muslim Community in Britain, or a member of the Israel hating (for which read Jew hating) broad Left which includes many in the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats and the so called Stop the War Campaign, the kind of conduct described above shouldn’t alarm you too much. Oh? Do I hear howls of protest coming from the Labour Party in this respect? If so, let’s take a look! In particular its connection to Muslim fundamentalism and terrorism.

Forget about Ed Miliband’s recent pip-squeaking criticism of supposed Tory failure to tighten up on British teenage terrorist controls. In the context of the Labour Party’s affable disposition towards fanatical Muslim preachers in recent years it’s a sick joke. Just an attempt to get a bit of voter creditability from an outraged public. No, your pip-squeaking simply won’t do Mr Miliboy! From the moment that Tony Blair’s New Labour Government came to office in 1995, Labour Home Secretaries had shown an amazingly tolerant if not friendly disposition towards Islamic Fundamentalist preachers spewing out vile anti-white, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish race hatred in sermon after sermon delivered on streets outside mosques and Muslim Community centres to large numbers of young Muslims. Nothing whatsoever was done to stop these people by Labour Home Secretaries or Police Ministers. In fact they had the police stand guard and protect them while they delivered their sermons without fear of interruption. Furthermore, during this high New Labour time of encouraging and facilitating Islamic fundamentalist sermonizing, such tolerance also extended to permitting many Muslim street traders to sell without fear of prosecution rabid anti-Semitic literature from their stalls including Nazi hate material and the works of Adolf Hitler. Indeed, any complaints made at the time were neatly deflected by the local councils where such activities took place.      

While New Labour gave all this the blind eye treatment they allowed Islamic fundamentalist groups such as Al Jahamaroon to spew out oceans of vile filth against Israel, the Jewish Community in Britain and Jews in general. None of it was a problem. The slightest complaint and the fundamentalists had a battery of human rights lawyers working on their behalf to protect their right to free speech and should any Jew complain, why, they were only supporters of an Israeli Apartheid State! In short, under New Labour these Islamo-fascists as they’ve been described got away with blue murder. The whole period in fact was perfect for the dissemination of their filthy views, especially when David Miliband, brother of Ed, was British Foreign Secretary. From a Jewish family background of hard line hostility towards Israel, Dave’s busy bee activities in respect of curtailing arms export licenses of British weapons supplied to Israel must have been sweet music in the ears of the anti-Semitic Muslim fundamentalist fanatics.

But then all this rabid hate preaching and sale of offensive Nazi propaganda material took place during the high time from 1997 when New Labour turned a blind eye to mass Muslim immigration into Britain from Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia. Somehow, it seemed, from all the guff spewed out of variously apologetic Ministerial mouths, that nothing could be done to stop it, let alone prevent the hateful sermonizing by grossly offensive Islamic fundamentalist preachers outside mosques. Yes, there were suddenly various principles of freedom of expression and human rights that came first and to repeat, various lawyers of the broad Left were only too ready to stand up for the freedom of those preachers to call for the punishment and execution of anyone who disagreed with their vile fundamentalist Muslim strictures. In short, the fanatics gained full protection to say whatever they wanted and their words were listened to and heard by countless young Muslim men. Go out and kill the infidel… would have been words burned into their thoughts… and so it is today…

If anyone’s wondering where the barbarity of those young British Muslims committing murderous acts around the world came from they should look no further than the Blair and Brown New Labour Governments. New Labour permitted the seed of a barbarous Islamic fundamentalism to be sown…

and don’t you remember the endless messages we got from BBC Television about how important and useful all these immigrants were to the British economy and British society, and what lovely people they all were... Only now, with a new fundamentalist Islamic state of their very own, THESE YOUNG BRITISH ISLAMISTS ARE SOWING WHAT THEY PICKED UP FROM THE PREACHERS IN A VILE AND MURDEROUS HARVEST OF DEATH.

So thank you Tony Blair and thank you New Labour! You were part of the process that facilitated it all!

And the Liberal Democrats? Let’s take a moment to look at things on the ground. For example, the Lib-Dems control Bath City Council. Alongside their generalized hostility towards the Jewish State of Israel the local Party has a generalised tolerance towards the local Muslim Community. Nothing wrong in that. In theory that is. The Bath Islamic Association had raised a large Palestinian flag on a flagpole from the first floor of the building where it is based near the center of town and filled its ground floor windows with large anti-Israel propaganda posters one of which condemns Israel as an Apartheid State. This itself is offensive. The raising of the flag which is entirely legal posed no problem for the Council and the posters themselves pose no problem for the Lib Dem Council leader. What may be okay for him and other Liberal Democrats however may not be okay for Jews living locally. Such actions indeed have provided a context for anti-Israel, anti-Semitic behaviour by the vociferous local anti-War Coalition Group whose members recently bullied and pushed around a young Jewish lady, filling her ears with insults. The flagpole has now disappeared but the flag still hangs.

In fact Muslim flags very similar to those flown by the Isis Islamic State killers in Iraq are being flown all over East London as I write this Post. No, I’m not joking. It’s all perfectly lawful, courtesy of legislation introduced by current Conservative Secretary of State for Communities Eric Pickles which allows any so called non offensive flags to be flown! Non-offensive? In the context of recent Islamic beheadings under the sign of such banners Mr Pickles? Perhaps you really need to have a good think about the meaning of the word offensive when it comes to considering the families of these men.

Of equal interest in connection with the situation in Bath is the fact that some Muslim students refuse to have anything to do with the Bath Islamic Centre apart from using the mosque for prayer because they regard it as extremist in its support for Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organisation that’s also anti-Semitic. Well that’s okay for the local Liberal Democrats as long as it’s anti-Israel! Really, actually who do these people think they’re kidding?

It is the matter of providing a political context that facilitates racially aggravated behaviour that is interesting here. Labour and the Liberal Democrats refuse to see things this way and by doing so must logically wind up in bed with anti-Semites. The message is simple. Be careful about who you make friends with because they could turn into murdering monsters. It’s okay to be pro-Palestinian… It’s okay to be anti-Israel… and so the road runs on and soon you’re on the fast track to hating Jews… because the people you thought it was okay to support in the first place hate Jews. Not Israelis but Jews. So think about where you’re going to wind up. Suddenly you hate them as well! Easy-peasy!

So to return to where this Post started. Murdering Islamic terrorists don’t suddenly fall out of the skies. They’re home grown. Facilitated by free and easy political values that allow a culture of venomous intolerance and race hatred to grow. Indeed not only permit it but nurture this kind of cultural pathogen. It begins with young men who lend an ear on the street and evolves into a viral end product that joyfully slices off the heads of their fellow human beings in the name of a cause. And Britain of course has provided the perfect laboratory conditions. Nazi mass murderers and killers likewise didn’t just fall out of the skies. They were nurtured by economic and political conditions. It has been a similar breeding ground that was provided in Britain in recent decades. Permit the circumstances for evil and that’s just what you get!
