Wings Over Scotland

Most odious PM, certainly in the top 3, but Tory fairmers? Hmmmmm….not so sure about that one….

“Farmers need to stop talking nonsense…they are protesting about inheritance tax changes. Most of them are quite wealthy or they would not be protesting. All of them are farming entirely voluntarily. They could sell up at current prices and live very well indeed doing nothing. Of all the people with a reason to gripe in this country they are about the last with a reasonable right to protest.”

[Quote on Grouse Beater]

Could the inheritance tax changes on farmers perhaps be a way to subtly force compulsory sell out of farming land in a potential upcoming trade deal UK-USA?

And how long until they sell the NHS? It cannot be much longer, because cuts on funding in terms of real money value means it is bursting at the seams. It has been worked understaffed for far too long.

Meanwhile, billions in “aid” to buy more weapons are thrown to U and goodness knows how much of our taxpayers’ money is being thrown to I to assist it in its imperialistic and genocidal wars so it can rob other countries of their land and water resources while it exterminate those countries’ people that have the misfortune of be living in those lands.

Since the big (sell out) trade deal with New Zealand that Bojo the clown signed, our supermarket shelves have been infested with New Zealand lamb. Our much better Scotch lamb, which was easy to access prior to this deal, has been displaced and it is now more difficult to come by.

I have heard rumours that a trade deal with USA will involve infesting our shelves with chlorinated chicken and hormone pumped USA beef meat. Jolly good. Even more shite being brought from abroad to displace our much better quality produce.

Every single deal these idiots at Westminster sign, is to transfer either a chunk of ownership to another country or to shaft producers in the UK and endanger our health. In my opinion, the bastards belong in prison.

“And who will be there to snap them up at bargain prices? Private equity vulture funds from no doubt our great friends in the US and the City”

Absolutely. The only point I disagree with you is when you say “this is a disaster in the making and very stupid. But revenge politics appeals to some so they cheer it on”.

I do not think this is revenge politics at all and I do not think such decision was born out of stupidity. This has been carefully calculated. These bastards want to force the sell out of the land. The question for me is who is instigating this, is it the USA plants inside the UK gov that are holding the strings of Starmer and co?

Makes you wonder what the real role of Mandelson in USA is and if he has not been sent there to help with the USA-UK trade deal.

Shame on the pathetic SNP for allowing all this sell out of Scotland land and resources. They are an absolute disgrace.

Using that logic, the attack on farmers using inheritance tax is a dog-whistle to their support as a rouse to cover the nasty policy of effective privatisation which only the nasty Tories do.

It wouldn’t surprise me though that the removal of the Winter Fuel allowance has been done because Labour knows electricity prices are going to sky-rocket in the years to come due to their Net Zero policies which will in turn cost them billions more in the coming years for funding WFA.

Trump when he was president first time around repeatedly complained that Europe should not be buying its (cheap) energy from Ru$$ia. It was a regular theme of his.

Then the Biden presidency in act of pure gangsterism blew up the Nordstream pipeline.

So Europe is now paying sky high energy bills and who do you think benefited.

Given his position first time around Trump will fully agree with continuing all of this would be my guess.

This will cripple European economies, it is already happening.

And every single leader just about in Europe and every EU official are going along with it. The implications of that are quite frightening to me.

I also quite like Trump but I am becoming really worried about this second term. And for sure we should not trust him at all. US first means us all second. Less than a month to go…

The destruction of the E.U has been a long-term objective of feral U.S ” Foreign Policy ” and is now being facilitated by the likes of ( former ) E.U economic powerhouse – Germany’s self-inflicted collapse via the deadly embrace of it’s * Green * Party & slavish adherence to Yankee diktat . Who do you think benefitted most from the insane destruction of the Nordstream pipeline ? You know who , ie the same people who are now exporting their LGP at vastly increased cost to Germany . The U.S doesn’t have ” allies ” – or even competitors : it only sees such as enemies to it’s hegemonic/economic interests and behaves accordingly . WEF progeny like Von Der Leyen are a godsend to the insatiable jackals of U.S Neoliberal Capitalism

And a lot of these Brexit voters complain that they never got the Brexit that they voted for.

I voted to Remain in the referendum because while I knew the EU was not great but it was a far better than being on our own and left to the wolves of the world who would be bleeding us dry.

The problem is that you mentioned, most people are uninformed and put their trust in politicians and individuals who had thought they had their best interests at heart.

I’ve come to the realisation that events need to be played out their logical conclusion for people to realise how bad politicians currently are.

If only the SNP wasn’t so compromised, we could have had the bolt-hole to escape this madness through independence.

Mia , if anyone wanted an example of the brain-numbing , schizophrenic idiocy/hypocrisy of pursuing the ” Net Zero ” fantasy via Neoliberal Economic Ideology look no further than the one you give , ie importing – in this instance – lamb from literally the other side of the world at the expense of superior locally-produced lamb ; and the local farmers who are struggling to survive the concerted attack of Globalism on SMBs of every kind . * They * won’t be satisfied until every such small-to-medium business has been devoured by faceless ,borderless Corporate entities

Couple that ” kind of thing ” with the Save The Planet by ( supporting ) Permanent War/Conflict * merchants * and one could be forgiven for thinking ” the future’s so bleak I gotta wear a blindfold ” .

Still , ” Hope springs eternal ” and maybe things are approaching such an Omega Point of Awfulness , Humanity will be compelled to act in the interest of it’s own survival

Drivel.

I think you’ll find that the legislation over here also imposes maximum permissible levels (i.e. allows the presence) of various bacteria, mycotoxins, metals etc. What, did you really think that there was an absolute absence of all of these things in your food? 🙄

It’s it’s specialist subject!

Currently, if you order food online from Sainsburys, for lamb, for example, you are simply given the option New Zealand or Scotch lamb, so they will deliver whatever they have in the shelf. You are not given the option to specifically selecting Scotch lamb.

The same applies to beef. You are currently given the option of “British or Irish” beef, for example. If you order it, they will deliver whatever they have in the shelf. For ordinary casserole beef, etc, you are not given the option of selecting Scottish beef either.

I bet the chlorinated chicken and hormone pumped beef from USA will be foisted on us by the back door in the same fashion.

Also, since brexit, we are no longer abiding by EU standards. Some of those standards applied to the description of the food in the packet and the origin denomination. The term “British” is very relative. For instance, if the animals are transported alive and slaughtered here, they will qualify as “British”. I am not sure what happens with carcasses delivered from elsewhere which are cut and prepared here. The packet may just not mention at all where the meat was produced, simply where it was cut and packaged.

I guess that the only way we have to be sure we are buying Scottish meat is if we go to a butcher and pay premium prices.

Going a bit off-topic.

I cook my own meals based on Chinese cuisine as it is quick, easy and cheap to make as I use frozen vegetables and there are variety of sauces that can be used based on a limited amount of ingredients.

These meals aren’t restaurant quality but tastes better, healthier and more filling than the crud you buy in supermarkets.

For beef based meals, I like the thin strips of beef that can be cut into small slices which I prefer. I can’t get that in supermarkets so have to buy from local butcher and per price of beef, it isn’t that much dearer than buying from a supermarket.

It does look like it will be a case where we have to change our cuisine habits by making meals that uses for instance meat bought in local butchers in a more economical way like I had mentioned.

There is a form of Japanese cuisine called Horumon which uses the animal offal as the main ingredient.

Some of the animal parts used in this cuisine may not sound appetising for Westerners but in given that we could well be flooded with lower quality meat from abroad, as long as it comes from better quality local sources, it may not be that bad?

The following link giving details of this Horumon cuisine:

The Japanese concept of Mottainai in foodstuffs predated the industrial revolution so I’m sure the Japanese aren’t as fanatical towards this as they used to be and leaves the bits that contain all those pollutants.

That said though, with a cuisine of not wasting animal parts and using seasonal vegetables, Scotland could achieve more food self-sufficiency.

Their labelling has been implemented and has much less information about the ingredients of the product and the origin. This is, of course, by design.

They have to fool people, otherwise nobody would buy the products once they dropped the standards.

It is all, and always has been, about deceiving the customer so you buy what they want you to buy.

What has the UK’s self-sufficiency got to do with the post you are replying to?

Also, in what way am I glancingly acknowledging my point?

You do really need to lay off the drink John.

Of course “Dan” writes nonsense.
Most importantly, “Scotland” has ALMOST NO oil production. The Oil production in the North Sea is part of the UK’s Exclusive Economic Zone, as determined by treaty and by the UN.

Scotland does not have, and never has had, “ownership” of the North Sea (beyond the 12 mile limit) from which the oil is being produced. Nor does Fife, or Lossiemouth, or Deacon Brodie’s Tavern.

See the map at link to marineregions.org for a visual that refutes the laughable claims of “Dan.”

Plus lets check out the gas being imported to England.

Ooh! Your fully bolded post is almost as scary as the red letter from the TV licensing cunts.

FFS, hair splitting pedantry like this is all the Unionists have to go on rather than winning hearts and minds of Scots to the positives of the Union.

Scotland is a nation. Patently obviously, “Fife, or Lossiemouth, or Deacon Brodie’s Tavern” are not nations.

Clear off, troll.

Please inform us when “Scotland” owned the North Sea oil fields:
1314? Nope
1603? Nope
1707? Nope
1907? Nope
2007? Nope
2024? Nope

Food security and self sufficiency should be taken seriously, has the war in the Atlantic in WWI and WWII been forgotten?

So I think this is a bad plan, just as I thought the Khymer Vert “rewilding” of farmland was counter intuitive, and I suppose there’s Dans beavers causing chaos on farmland bordering waterways too.

I don’t want wolves reintroduced either and agree the huntin shootin and fishin royalty needs its vast estates made useful, not man made wildernesses for the uber rich to decimate wildlife as sport.

London Rule controls all the major powers to influence and control the economy.
So what you’ve posted is not a very good advert for the Union is it.
Wait till next year then you can add all the workers from Grangemouth to the none taxpayers…
Got to laugh at roasters taking joy in the failings of their preferred choice of governance.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m well aware of the utter pish that’s rolled out from The Administration of Devolved Powers in Holyrood, but Westminster is on another scale when it comes to bad policies.

“It’s a rare “gen0cide” that could be ended by releasing 100 or so hostages”

Whose intelligence are you trying to insult with this nonsense? your own?

Do you seriously expect me to believe the recent invasion of Syrian territory, the invasion of Lebanon territory and the genocide of the people in GZ and Wst Bnk to rob more P territory ever had anything to do with those 100 hostages instead of being part of the long term strategy to fabricate a Greater I?

Dream on.

Here is another one for you to chew on:

I do not believe in coincidences. Never did and never will. I am an unrepentant and unashamed cynic who is old enough to not believe for even a second, I’s insincere, overplayed and boring victim act. I am of the opinion the October 2023 attack was also part of the Greater I strategy. In my view it was, just as 9/11 was, an inside job that was deployed as an excuse to start the totally disproportionate attack and the invasion of all those countries, not the reason.

Your continuous referring to R’s president will not change my mind. In fact it will make my current view even stronger. I am also old enough to recognise a poor attempt at psychological blackmailing as soon as I see it.

If you must know, I am also sick to the black teeth of I’s and its secret services constant, bribes, intrusion and interference in other countries’ business, other countries’ politics, other countries’ policies and other countries’ governments to transform them into their slaves working for their Greater I project. That just goes to show the sense of entitlement that fabricated and rogue state I has and the level of contempt it has for democracy.

I cannot believe the people in the USA is allowing this self-serving rogue state to manipulate their government structures to deliver and pay for this greater I project at the cost of completely destroying USA’s reputation, its economic hegemony, NATO, the UN, ICC, ICJ and the EU.

This only goes to show just how toxic to every other country in the world I has become. It has become toxic even to the two countries who facilitated its first invasion of P’s territory to fabricate a new state out of thin air.

Brave fighters my arse. There is nothing brave in assassinating children and pregnant women in a concentration camp of your own making while you starve them to weaken them even further. All so you can steal their land. It is as if you were shooting fish in a bowl. It is disgusting.

There, go on and chew on that one.

Ah!, and before I forget, Happy Christmas to you.

“The reason the US goes along with it is because they fund US elections to the tune of billions in bribes & donations throughout the senate”

Yes, I am sure you are absolutely right. However, for me, it begs the question as to where do those billions actually come from, because it is not like I is in any position to throw money around if it had to rely on its own resources rather than in constant handouts from USA.

In my opinion, it has always been USA’s money anyway. I is simply redistributing USA’s money around so it falls where it suits and benefits I. It comes across almost as a money laundering operation. USA officials, senators, judges, etc are bribed by USA’s money, but because it is I who manages it, it escapes USA’s legislation.

I am sure the exact same applies to the UK. In other words, I has become a life-threatening parasite for both USA and the UK that is, not just hurting, but actually destroying the host.

As far as I have read, the Greater I project dates from as long back as when the UK and USA facilitated the fabrication of the state of I by robbing P’s territory, before even the two state solution was proposed. So all the wars we have seen in the middle east have been mostly part of that project.

I have now for a while wondered if the U war has also been a deliberate distraction to keep R busy and stopping it from intervening to stop it. Of course that war had the given bonus of being able to use the puppet Z to transfer swathes of U’s rich land and billions if not trillions-worth of mineral resources to USA’s ownership via third party entities. Both the U’s war and the Greater I project are magnificent examples of active, abusive and toxic imperialism in the 21st century.

What is shocking to me is the absurdly high level of infiltration those behind the Greater I project have in both, UK and USA’s government, parliamentary and judicial structures. In other words, they are operating at executive, legislative and judicial level, which means full control.They have been “eating” those countries, metaphorically speaking, from inside out. USA and UK appear to be now just acting like zombie countries when it comes to matters related to I. I is behaving like an Ophiocordyceps when it comes to USA, UK and quite possibly the EU.

I must admit that I immediately become suspicious of any UK or Scottish PM, FM, MP or MSP who supports this Greater I project directly or indirectly, as being yet another I’s plant. That is the immediate thought that crossed my mind when I saw Angus Robertson with that I’s diplomat. Why that man is still in the cabinet and has not been sacked on the spot is beyond me. But I guess it goes to show where Swinney’s real allegiances lie: more towards I’s interests than towards Scotland’s own.

Drivel.

Seeing as how it’s you that’s asking, Michael:

Naw 🙂

Wish I could remember where i saw reference to ‘state capture’.

More Drivel.

Back reading then?

Bet you never stopped. Bet you were lying through your teeth all along!

The global majority couldn’t care less about Ps travel engagements. He’s not committing gen-ocide & crimes against humanity.

“He’s not committing gen-ocide & crimes against humanity.”
I and ICC beg to differ.

R wear white hats and are good, U wear black hats and are baad, g**nocidal, n**zi meanies controlled by colonialist western baddies. It is nice when everything is so simple, you do not have to strain your brain too much, isn’t it ? Because that hurts. You know that your fairy-tale about good hero Putain who saved litttle people from genocide is complete bullshit, don’t you ?

Putrid regime?

Remind us again who conducted a coup in U?
Who imprisoned the head of their constitutional court for trying to block parliamentary changes?
Who closed down the courts, issued death threats & imposed martial law? No law but Zs..
Who is persecuting R speaking regions & banning churches?
Who was ethnically cleansing & bombing R speaking regions in U?
Who cancelled elections?
Who has 46 biolabs conducting gawd knows what?
What’s the Nazi ideology the current illegal government follow?

Do you really wish to go back centuries? Really? Why not stick to the present day.

R offered a peace deal. Very simple – no NATO, (U’s OWN constitution) & STOP persecuting R’s.

It was rejected. Everyone & their dug knows this is an American war & they really couldn’t give a fck for past history. They stole the land they have & bully everyone else for more for their military bases so they’ve fck all pedestal to sit on to lecture anyone..
