Looking after their own

Posted on December 11, 2013 by

We know we’ve been talking recently about how the No campaign’s been getting nastier, but it looks like they’re about to ramp things up another notch.

Yikes!

    In similar spirit, Westjet, the Canadian airline has a Xmas ad.  which has gone viral with millions of hits.  The following still frame from it shows that one lucky little girl is getting her Xmas wish.
     
    Can we guess what is in the box?

    That’s a bit harsh.
    At least none of the Krays ever their name as they thought it would harm their chances of appealing to the common folk!

    The picture was obviously taken thirty seconds after Dave let rip  a rich, silent but deadly one after a particularly spicy country supper.

    With their actions the Krays killed a lot of people..
    They also made sure their coterie were enriched.
    They were jailed and named by the judge as evil.
    How many have died as a result of the welfare cuts and ATOS
    How many of the “Eton Mob” have been enriched by the West end gangsters??

    The political system in this  country is run just like the mafia commission was in the good old USA, as set up by Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. 
     
    The main families, Tory, Labour and Liberals control their empires via MPs, councils and local parties right down to ward leveL. 
     
    You only have to look at the skullduggery and strange goings on that get glossed over to the disbelief of the voters, hence the low turnouts at elections. They have shots each at controlling the game, and skimming of the ill begotten grace and favour rewards.
     
    The system is so rotten and well entrenched it’s beyond belief for most of us.

    Not a nice bunch at all whatever pair you choose.  The two contemporaries however are wreaking havoc on ‘hard working’ people the length and breadth of the UK and have another two years to go.  Anyway here in Scotland we don’t like their sort but have had the unfortunate habit of voting for other wise guys to put into the HoC as MP’s.  Luckily we have our own parliament and with independence can get shot of the whole sorry bunch.

    I remember there’s a sharp one-liner about how, if the crime is big enough, then it stops being a crime.
     
    Applies to debts and murder.  Can’t remember which the line was talking about though.

    Look at the signitories.  Mr “Better Together” Darling has said “We […] acknowledge the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of Government best suited to their needs, and do hereby declare and pledge that in all our actions and deliberations their interests shall be paramount.”
     
    Nothing new to beat him with, as he already claims that Scotland is better off in the UK.  But I would really like to ask him what metric he uses to determine that.

    Answer: The Krays wouldn’t have tolerated the bedroom tax in the east end of London.

    O/T Yesterday’s Stakeholder Q&A…(1 hour 21 minute video)

    I was rummaging around Youtube for the video and then realised that the “TA of Moridura” link here on WoS took me to it..   Ta… 🙂

    Only 7 views so far – perhaps it is on another Youtube channel?  I checked the official “scottishgovernment” channel and there was only an introduction by the FM.

    I was looking at some Facebook site, “Vote No and save the Union” or something. One of the bigger No sites and probably as active as the main Better Together site. I was much encouraged to see how many of the posts there are of the “Ha Ha ha Fat Eck is Fat Ha Ha Ha” ilk. Anybody that ever suggests we cybernats are aggressive can easily be transported to another land that is every bit as aggressive but with a far greater incidence of poor grammar and spelling 😉

    I have thought for many months that Westminster democracy has been subverted by a cosa nostra offshoot namely The Conservative/Lib dem Coalition.
    Did they model themselves on the Sopranos?
    On reflection it’s probably been the case for years.

    O/T I see the Daily (drivel) Record is at it again Torcuil Crichton, who actually thinks he’s a journalist, (A long way to go son believe you me), devotes three-quarters of a page to the SNP Q&A yesterday.
     
    Crichton leads with the headline “Stop making it up on the hoof Alex” the only people making it up as Crichton says, is the BT camp, but of course Crichton has to appease his masters a Canary Wharf so any old sh*t passes for journalism in the Daily (drivel) Record now, as long as its negative towards independence.
     
    Crichtons partner in crime David Clegg, (These tow clowns make the Chuckle Brothers look like Einstein and Higgs), also leads a column in the Daily (drivel) Record, that anti-English racism is on the increase, and he tries pathetically to link it to the independence debate.
     
    Clegg and Crichton must surely know, that there onerous journalistic attempts, and I use the term very very loosely indeed at smearing the independence debate are laughable at best, and wouldn’t look out of place in the Beano or Dandy.

      Did the Record cover the supermarkets scare at all? I couldn’t find anything on the website.

    Looks like the public are finally catching on…

    What’s the chances of getting the Kray twins picter on the front pages, betcha they’d be off like hotcakes!
