Scareforce One Makes Day Trip To Aberdeen

The picture the BBC chose to illustrate events in Glasgow’s Buchanan Street today:



What was actually happening:



The BBC is worse than Pravda.

Amazing.  Good for the YES Campaign.

I think Edinburgh was quiet today, as people were scared of the Orange march, but I gather from reading round that there were similar scenes elsewhere. Well, I know there were, I witnessed one myself.

This is getting even more amazing to watch, Bonny.  You must be so hopeful?

I am deliberately not getting over-confident, Lily, don't want to jinx things.

Don't blame you.   Only a few more days to go.....

I've just had an horrible thought. They couldn't be delaying broadcasting "Outlander" because it gives a pretty good description of what England did to The Scots after The Union was signed, could they?

Wouldn't surprise me, Sabot, not if it contradicts the official Rule Brittania version of events, in which those silly Scotch types think they can run a trading colony haw haw haw and have to be rescued by Good Old England, and they begged Good Old England for the wonders of the Act of Union.

It leaves out the bit where the might of the English Navy was used to prevent other nations trading with the Scots (sound familiar?) under penalty of being attacked by the English fleet. Oh, and the bit where England used force to stop other trading posts in the area from coming to the aid of the Scots when they fell ill.

And the bit where England bribed assorted nobles to sign the accursed thing (the infamous Parcel of Rogues) while the unrepresented people of Scotland tried to get their hands on them and lynch them.

Oh, and the bit where Scots textile manufacturers promptly went bankrupt as England then shut them out of European markets that had been trading with for centuries.

It's never been a particularly happy union, under all the flag-waving and Rule Brittania-ing.

You won't read too much in English history books about Scots being beheaded by the state in 1820, for instance. Spoils the image, doesn't it?

Scotland would be having a fit if they had been watching what I have for the last five weeks. It doesn't look much like a Union to me. More like a savage and barbaric need to beat and flog The Scots into submission.
Nothing wrong with the written word, but it doesn't have quite the impact of seeing it happen.

It doesn't look much like a Union to me. More like a savage and barbaric need to beat and flog The Scots into submission.

That is EXACTLY what the reality was, Sabot.

Bet you don't know about London sending tanks into Glasgow to subdue the rebellious locals, in the Battle of George Square in 1919?




That's Glasgow Cattle Market and their targets are Glaswegians. Rule Brittania!

Look at the top of the page, the lies and propaganda from the BBC couldn't be better illustrated. Their version of events in Glasgow yesterday is a handful of people holding YES signs. The reality was a scene like the street parties after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

There's a lot I didn't know, Bonny. My knowledge of Scottish history tends to centre more around the eighteenth century, which I have never been all that impressed with. Most of this knowledge comes from reading the Diana Gabaldon books, which I started some ten years ago.

What caused the problem in 1919? I need to catch up.

It started out over working hours, then grew, as these things tend to do......Our Leaders appear to have panicked, and thought it was a repeat of the Irish Easter Rising, this time with the entire city joining in.

Rule Britannia indeed.

Scottish soldiers billeted at Maryhill barracks were not used. They were all veterans of the front and could not be trusted to obey orders to turn their guns on the strikers. Instead, the government used young and inexperienced English troops, who were ignorant of the situation.

Some things never change.

We are not afraid

Alert readers will remember that Gordon Brown, who is apparently some sort of former politician, has recently been spreading the completely baseless scare story that Scots would no longer receive organ transplants or blood transfusions from other people in the UK (and vice versa) in the event of independence.

Last night, not long after the Orange Order had marched in the streets of Edinburgh with “NO POPERY” banners, a young woman with a life-limiting illness called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency climbed the face of Edinburgh Castle with oxygen strapped to her back and tubes up her nose. (The only cure for A1AD is a double lung transplant.)

This is what she did there.



More at link.

Gosh. Well done her. So Brave. Up you, in other words.

I have a feeling that offers of blood and donor organs are going to flood in to Scotland. I could easily have smacked Gordon Brown some years ago. Now it would be a privilege.
What does he think he is doing?

He should have stuck to trying to get the MoD to remove the radiation from the local beach, Sabot, it's about all he's fit for. He seemed to forget, he's just an opposition backbencher, no-one important, except in his own mind.

Whatever happens on Thursday, this is likely to be the end of the Labour party in Scotland. Now, I remember having HUGE fights with Labour supporters years ago - I said they were throwing their votes away, because if the Tories were in power, their votes were worth nothing, and even if Labour was in power, the likes of Blair and co didn't give a flying one about anyone at the bottom of the heap.

And so it has come to pass - Labour politicians sharing a platform with the Tories to defend the indefensible. And former Labour die-hards are beyond angry at being treated with such contempt. I'd say the SNP are actually calmer, as dirty tricks and betrayals come as no surprise to them, but it's been an eye-opener for a lot of other people.

If, horribly, there is a No win, by some chicanery, how are THEY going to feel when they discover there will be no devo-max, as they've been promised by the unionists? That there can't be, it would mean tearing up constitutional law and starting again? That English MPs would never pass something so discriminatory, their electorate wouldn't let them? And quite rightly, as English MPs are supposed to represent the interests of THEIR constituents?

If anything, with England lurching to the Right and Boris and Farage smelling power, Scotland is going to be battered senseless - again - should there be a No vote.

Westminster is lying to the ProudScotsBut, and they can't, or won't, see it.

On the subject of the Gorgeous One.

Livestream of the protest going on outside BBC Scotland. I doubt if the BBC will report this, they haven't reported any other protests on their doorstep, just like they didn't report the massive protest outside BBC Manchester.

Still no sign of BBC Scotland reporting this:



Guess they haven't look out the window yet.

My wee Scots football team made a mighty killing yesterday - Partick Thistle 3 - 1 Inverness CT - could this be a sign?   LL  

Oh, very good, LL. It's good to see Partick doing well, after being the butt of so many jokes for years. Now it's Scotland's Shame, Rangers, that gets laughed at.

Better Together

PLEASE SHARE: Do you, your family or your friends live in London? If so, why not head along to the Let's Stay Together Trafalgar Square Get Together tomorrow night at 6pm?



That bit of patronising failure to Get It should be good for another few YESSES.

Isn't some of what is going on Illegal?
