Scareforce One Makes Day Trip To Aberdeen

This is the nearest thing anyone's seen for a long time to actual democracy at the non-PC street level, Sabot. It's all supposed to be terribly civilised, with Talking Heads discussing things solemnly, and telling the plebs what to do.

I don't think those Labour luvvies that were parachuted into Glasgow will ever recover from their warm reception....apparently, before the guy on the rickshaw with the Star Wars music followed them up the street, they got off the train to welcoming cries about Snakes on a Train....

Was their trip a political exercise or was it a personal exercise because they all love the fettered poor of Scotland?

Who paid their train fares? Did they partake of the excellent British Rail Breakfast? The only thing that BR always gets right. And if so, who paid for it?
Did BR put on another Restaurant Car or two, and if not, where did The Plebs get breakfast?

How much has this jolly cost Britain?

One hundred Labour MPs + assorted hangers on = the taxpayer has been stung for at least £100,000 for them to get laughed at by the good people of Glasgow.

I hope it catches on and these Labour troughers get laughed at and mocked by their own constituents; clearly, their own constituents come second to trundling up to Glasgow to patronise people at Cameron's behest.

It’s hard to understand the role that post-industrialisation and the collapse of traditional political affiliations have played in the rise of the current form of the Scottish secession impulse so we’re not going to try to. It’s much easier to talk about unicorny things like the emerging European identity and its frameworks for supporting indigenous cultures. That’s the type of think-tanky thing that gets you funding and grants, so let’s emphasise this angle of the Scottish independence question. We should also mention vaguely relevant things like Catalonia because it would make it easier to avoid the real complex questions around Scottish independence.

Finally, and drawing from our collective experience as Middle Experts, we must stress that the US should not and must not continue its policy of non-intervention in the Scottish independence question. We must do something. Things must be done. There is a necessity for the doing of things. It’s also the point at which we normally ask the requisite rhetorical question near the end of the end: should we allow Scotland to exist as a small oil-rich country? (Like, do we need another Qatar now?) President Obama must avoid this by arming the Protestants. Or the Catholics.

Farage dodges the Glasgow protesters and tells Salmond: you're afraid of Ukip

Nigel Farage has dodged dozens of protesters to address a rally in Glasgow - and accused Alex Salmond of being afraid of Ukip.



Activists shouted anti-UKIP slogans outside the event in Glasgow city centre chanting: "Ukip, we don't want your bigotry".

Ahead of his visit Mr Farage had caused controversy by calling for the Queen to intervene in the referendum debate and suggesting Scotland was UK "territory".

Last night he found himself speaking in a building in St Enoch's square while a crowd of activists who equate his politics with that of Enoch Powell picketed outside.

Underneath a poster that said "People make Glasgow, welcome", they suggested Ukip should withdraw from Scotland.

"Yes or no, ukip has got to go," they shouted. Inflation, they added, is not "caused by immigration."

As Mr Farage arrived his car was surrounded by protesters, some holding up Yes banners, others telling him he should not have come north of the border.

A man was led away by police after reportedly throwing a punch outside the event, although it was not clear if the incident was linked to Mr Farage's visit.

Inside he told a rally of less than 100 Ukip supporters, some holding union flags: "I would say this to Mr Salmond. I know you don't like Ukip, I know you are very scared of our views.

"I know you don't want the Scottish people in this referendum to realise the great truth but, we are now a voice in Scottish politics... and we are now planning and organising our candidates for the General Election campaign next year."

That's a good hilarious piece.  

As you know, Lily, I enjoy reading ZeroHedge - but watching them trying to get to grips with this is truly entertaining, and not all that different from that article.

'Scuse me, but if it was really 'united', then it wouldn't be on any knife-edge, would it?

How many more days of this are there? Six, is it?  

Oh, stop it, do, it's getting silly. Meanwhile, the Mail carries on whipping up hysteria...



a. That wasn't quite what Jim Sillars said.

b. It's Jim Sillars. He isn't an MP, MSP, nothing  - he isn't even, to the best of my knowledge,  a member of any party. He's never hidden his views, and is respected for that, even by people who don't agree with him. But hey, it's given them something new to wail about.

Five, Lily, it will all thankfully stop on Wednesday night.

Wow!!  Here's to Wednesday being Big Wednesday for you guys! 

Sorry, the polls open on Thursday, Lily, but here, campaigning isn't allowed on the actual day of the election. Which is why so many people were angry with Cameron over the Jam Tomorrow business. Postal votes had started going in, when Cameron totally changed the Oh Noes! message.

Frankly, anyone who votes No expecting Jam Tomorrow is too trusting for their own good. The Bitters haven't mentioned the fact that the words were barely out of Cameron's lying mouth when Hague poured cold water on them in the Commons.

Or that according to the Lords, it can't be done because it's unconstitutional.

The Oh Noes haven't even mentioned that English MPs of all shades are up in arms and simply will not vote for it because their own constituents would be up in arms. Which, I hasten to add, is not a criticism of southern voters, they are perfectly correct in their reasoning.

The Noes are selling their supporters down the river.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has been selected to represent the Conservatives at the next election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

He won outright in the first ballot of the local Conservative association, where three other candidates also ran to represent the seat.

Speaking on the steps of the building where the meeting was held, Mr Johnson spoke to the media.

He said: "Uxbridge and South Ruislip Conservative Association have done me the honour of picking me to fight the election and in 236 days, as their candidate, and that is what I'm going to do.

"I'm obviously thrilled. It will be a tough fight and a long fight. I've no doubt whatever that we are going to be able to return David Cameron and the Conservatives with an absolute majority in 2015.

"That's what I'm going to be working for. Not just here in Uxbridge but in the rest of London as well."

Liar, he's going to backstab Cameron at the first chance.

Milipede's minders slipped up - they forgot to get the beggar out of camera-shot.

What??

Cameron is hell-bent on selling the NHS to private companies, Lily. The corruption in this country has to be seen to be believed.

Updated: Bupa joint venture wins £235m NHS contract
8 September, 2014 | By Sophie Barnes

A £235m contract to provide NHS musculoskeletal services for West Sussex has been awarded to a joint venture between health insurance company Bupa and a community services social enterprise.

http://news.sky.com/story/1333363/bupa-chairman-gives-backing-to-scots-no-vote

The chairman of Bupa, Britain’s biggest private health insurer, will on Wednesday become the latest businessman to declare his support for the union as both sides of the Scottish independence battle for prominent corporate supporters.

Sky News understands that Lord Leitch, who was deputy chairman of Lloyds Banking Group and chairman of its Scottish Widows subsidiary until the end of 2011, is among scores of signatories to a new communication that will be published by the Better Together campaign.

Thank you, Bonny.  I see they are following in some other shoes from other shores. 

Oh, the Westminster lot wrote the book on corruption and skullduggery, Lily, they had a head-start of centuries on the US.

So, they kindly exported it?   

Yup. Though you did manage to stay pretty honest for a long time, Lily. And even then, you managed to not make the corruption too blatant. It's under Obama that they just don't seem to care who sees them doing it, they actually seem to take great glee in rubbing voters' noses in it.

Hunter Biden personifies it.
