Oh, wait, you won’t die
We got our reply (emphasis added):
“Good afternoon,
Thank you for your recent telephone call to the NHSBT Donor Line.
I can confirm that Scottish independence will not affect organ donation and the system will continue as it does currently.
I hope this answers your query, please let me know if you require any further information and I will be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Tom Kempster

Tom didn’t actually say the words “Gordon Brown is lying through his teeth to terrify Scottish people into voting No”, but we think it’s pretty much implied.
This is gold! Thanks for debunking another pathetic attempt by the morrally bankrupt Scottish Labour party!
You would have thought No camp would’ve learnt their lesson after the Vote No Borders/Great Ormond St debacle…
It really doesn’t take much to blast through Labour’s lies, they are so paper thin you could sneeze through them.
*the No camp
Oh good I look forward the retraction that Mr Brown will release
Another of Gordon’s ‘jobbies’ sits unpolished in a drawer….
So, will the Daily Record print that letter from NHS Blood and Transplant, Organ Donation and Transplantation Directorate in a similar position and of the same prominence?
Hank, I just check whether the Daily Record is suffering from shock horror outbreak of porcine-avain flu.
Phew…
This is why this site can be so effective. Not one freaking so – called ‘journalist’ in Scotland has bothered their arse to do this one simple thing.
Scare debunked, and shown to be ridiculous. All in one morning. Thank you, Rev Stuart Campbell.
Will the Labour party just pretend, and keep on lying?? Probably.
Gordon broon needs to take a good hard look at himself in the mirror. Shameful.
Once again the No people are demonstrably useless, lying clowns. You could not trust the time of day from these people. They are integrity free zones.
Cue Plan-B and Mags screaming “Immigrants will take all the donated organs!” on Newsnight later
OK, before anyone points out that it was Broon and not Dugdale who brought the transplant canard up, I know.
I just enjoy getting the verbal into Dugdale, because she is guilty by association and in view of that alone should be given her full title, The Accused, aka as Kezia Dugdale, every time possible.
That will be a relief for Gordon Brown, as he badly need a new brain.
orica macdonald
He can get an upgrade at Whipsnade.
I trust better together and their supporters will apologise for causing groundless concerns to families – particularly those with serious health concerns.
desimond
To be fair she usually says furrrriner rather than immigrant. She really has a thing about furrrriners
I would like to donate a “FOOT” to be rammed up Gordon Browns arse at a considerable distance please, just to pay him back for all the misery he has caused the familys of people awaiting transplants and other serious medical procedures.
As my mither would say ‘the mans as coorst as cat’s pish’.
Let’s all not hold our breath for an apology, we’d all die before the vote.
Figured it was just more unionist bollocks, but it’s nice to have it debunked in such a clear, unambiguous statement from the people involved.
It is also just another indication of how low and downright slimy the Unionist leadership is willing to get.
It is lies like these which make people distrust everything they say, the ongoing insistence that there’s no currency deal in the future is just one of those things which no one believes. That and the ‘guarantee’ from Mags Curran that there will be more devolution after 2015 ‘if I am Home Secretary.’ Couple of snags there.
1; polling suggests Labour have about the same chance of forming a government in 2015 as a snowball has of surviving a day trip to the Sahara.
2; Even if that snowball actually survives there is no guarantee Mags Curran will get that role; she seems to have some delusion of granduer going on there.

exactly Robert, you’ve hit the nail right on the head and thats why they are so bitter towards wings because they either cant or wont be real journalists
Gordon Brown is all fukked up. The man is drowning in his own psychologicaly flawed shyte. Where are the men in white coats?
Oh now there is a surprise. The mentality of BT is appalling. You would like to imagine that people would regard intentionally causing distress and anxiety to people waiting transplants is a step too far. How much lower can they sink?
My colleagues and I have worked very closely with NHSBT over a number of years and the bottom line is that organs and blood are both rare resources, the supply of which rely on cross-border cooperation in order to save lives. The idea that any country with life-saving resources such as rare blood or organs would not share them, particularly with geographically adjacent countries, is just ludicrous.
Hard NOs will of course only consolidate their stance when they read this, as they will want to believe this nonsense. Articles like this though, written by proper journalists who actually investigate, can open less intractable personalities’ eyes. Once they see one proven lie, they are on the road to truth, and sites like this help them take that first step. Great stuff as usual.
Gordon Brown struggles a bit these days,I’m afraid.
Gordon brown now a laughing stock
No matter how many times the No campaign are caught out lying they will never apologise. They are fighting for their careers, and they have no intention of behaving in an honest manner. All these false claims just show how much contempt and disdain they have for their own electorate. Which is a considerable amount. Lets put these spivs, chancers, careerists, charlatans, and smear merchants out to pasture. Lets vote Yes! 😀 😀
@Gillie
Do BUPA do white coats?
I await the Rev showing the young Labour guy tweeting a humble apology along the lines of “Yeah, but still! Splitters!”
Imagine how many folk have sat within the Better Together camp and had that “Wait a second” moment of clarity. That worrying thought of “How do I make a polite escape?” must be a constant in their HQ and beyond.
Well who knew?
So just to be clear, on both the EU and NHS, BT are talking pants. 🙂
Gordon Brown is clearly suffering from an acute Personality Disorder.

This man needs help.
Doubtless Reporting Scotland, Scotland Tonight, and Scotland 2014 will still go ahead with the original scare untroubled and unhindered by the truth.
And they’ll call themselves ‘journalists’.
Orica Macdonald @ 1.20pm
Gordon Browns name is on the Brain transplant list..the’re waiting for a donkey having a trffic accident.
The Daily Record have a policy of correcting barefaced lies. According to them anyway.
Digit problems today..that should be traffic..bloody fingers.
Better Together is the BBC, without the BBC Better Together would have withered on the vine well over a year ago.
Words fail me…. na not really.
It is now apparent to me that what we are fighting against in the form of SLAB is a group of sociopaths
‘A person with antisocial personality disorder. Probably the most widely recognized personality disorder. A sociopath is often well liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments. Though some sociopaths have become murders, most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly and sensational means’. (Urban dictionary)
Gordon Brown et al.
I rest my case
But withering they surely are.
Perhaps the Labour ‘Truth Team’ can clear up any uncertainty? They could send someone around to fix this echo, while they’re at it. 🙂
Aha, excellent.
Also, did I see somewhere that there is a 2012 EU Directive requiring member states to enact legislation to ensure that there can be cross-border transfers of donated organs? Why yes, I think I did.
link to nhsconfed.org
(apologies if this turns out to be a double post)
reminds me of a Drop The Dead Donkey Sketch
Can we have a wee tick list and see if we are due any more’bombshells’ before September.
So far it’s all been a bit Buster Keaton…..when does the main attraction start ?.
Labour caught lying yet again.
It’s almost as if they are only worried about their own jobs and positions should Scotland become independent.
Principles cost money you know, and it seems it’s only the SNP MPs putting their salary on the line by asking us to vote them out of a job.
So for any wavering Labour no voters, just think about that one for a bit.
Comment awaiting moderation but just noticed i’m in complete agreement with Gillie at 1.37
Richer Sounds denies that Anas Sarwar has just asked “Will my Plasma Telly need Scottish Plasma or rUK Plasma if it breaks”.
Damn where’s Investigations Editor Paul Hutcheon when you need him?! On a case likely.
Macart
Big, baggy, grey ones that have been through the wash a few times too often. 😉
Kablamo!!
As part of our education Stu has shown us how the headline and a sentence or two are what most readers register.
Likewise with using certain words or phrases they distort without outright lying.
Problem here is simple, Brown knew it was a lie ,he also knew the entire press pack and broadcasters would publicise his untruth without question .
He also knows even though we in the political anorak community have debunked him the vast majority will not know ,nor will they be told by BBC or STV that our ex PM is a liar,and a twisted evil piece of work that has no moral compass and no compassion for his fellow Scots.
The damage done BTNT can move on to their next lie knowing they will never be brought to account by a compliant ,complicit corrupt MSM.
Thank you, Stu.
For showing up the Better Together campaign for talking mince… and our media for failing to perform basic fact checks on the mince before regurgitating it.
@CameronB Brodie
I think their elastic went a while ago too. They’re constantly to be found around BTs collective ankles. 🙂
HandandShrimp, are you receiving this? Poll on JREF needs your attention.
Facts are facts but when Lamont or Curran finally get their brain transplant’s they’ll still be having none of aye thone foreign brains, ya bastirts.
Has BROON been eating yellow snow.
I think BBC Scot tv news ignored Crash and his vote no and no transplant con, Jacky Bird report that no way currency union will ever happen as it’s political suicide for anyone Westminster to even consider. So good solid BBC Monday lunchtime vote naw propaganda blast with, Scots.gov said it was “lame”
The more desperate they get the better.

REV! YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT!
AFTER INDEPENDENCE, THE ORGANS WILL BE COMING FROM FOREIGN BODIES!
High quality, investigative, print journalism, especially in Scotland is dead.
How many more examples like the one above, do people need to recognise that journalists in Scotland are but a treachorous cabal of self serving, small minded, buffoons, who have deluded themselves so, that they remain desperate to cling to a rotten, corrupt London controlled status quo?
And they say cults are for idiots.
Imagine what sort of Labour monster you could construct from the body parts of Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, Jim Murphy, John Reid, Dougie Alexander, Ian Davidson, Johann Lamont, Jackie Ballie and Mags Curran.
It would hideous.
Has Gordon been playing on Dalgety beach too much perhaps?
BYING LASTARD and him the son o the manse too
Desimond,
Plasma TVs in an independent Scotland will be refused to be repaired because of a lack of plasma.
Don’t they use pig organs?
Debunked nicely!
How many soft-NOs and DKs did the original scare story in the MSM harden into NOs?
versus
How many soft-NOs and DKs read debunking on WoS, see through the lies for themselves, or are educated face-to-face, then move to YES?
Any analysis I’ve seen say DKs convert to YES in greater numbers. So debunking, grassroots and common sense do appear to prevail.
BT must believe Project Fear works, or they wouldn’t keep doing this. Or, with no grassroots, is it actually the only tactic they have?
If there is any natural justice, Project Fear should be BT’s downfall.
Imagine yet again what sort of BBC news monster you could construct from Jackie Bird, Brian Taylor, Sarah Smith, Jim Naughtie and creepy Glenn Campbell.
Done Morag
🙂
nice one Stu and to all you so called journalists out there this is how it is done ,it wasnt to hard to find out the truth now was it.
Brain transplants on the nhs I dont think so it would be far to expensive and you could never get them to work. how would you get something as complex as the human brain to work with a body that is used to working with a brain the size of a newt and the memory of a goldfish!
Those who tweet should not miss those involved here.
Also get it out across all social media. Please include McDougal!
Ta, H&S. I don’t know where the union supporters have got to, because I can name at least three. Still nul points though.
gillie
Didn’t there used to a kids game like that…Mr Potato Head or something.
The Courier piece is a reprint of a PA story and PA is not making any claims. Notice Gordon Brown has claimed, The former Labour leader said, He said, according to Mr Brown, He added. Its a pretty good bit of we are vouching for none of these “facts” by PA. Its a bit of dire editing by the Courier not to have got one of his journalists to do the simple check Stu has. PA=1, Courier=-1.
How could anyone with half a brain be supporting Labour these days. However, Stu was on the ball quickly debunking this crap. It does show though that they really are desperate.
Secretly they must be getting pretty scared their cash cow is going down the swannee, expect more for these kind of scares are ALL they have got as they cannot put up a genuine good case for us staying in this dysfunctional Union.
Anyone know if this was put out by BBC?
gillie add george robertson then you have the beast mentioned in the revelations
I wonder if Gordon Brown scares himself?
@Murray McCallum
They say there are no mirrors in Broon Towers!
Looks as if even more Labour supporters are beginning to rethink their loyalty to the scaremongers. A group of seven from the Clyde work-in of the seventies have written an open letter to shipyard workers urging them to vote Yes. And so we go on to a Yes majority in September.
Murray
I doubt Gordon believes half the stuff he comes out with. He is a reasonably intelligent man…Kezia…not so sure.
Peter Bell has written a terrific comment response to the dugdale clown over at the daily record.
Well done Stu.
Once again I am amazed at how quickly you debunk all their lies.
I have emailed the Record demanding a retraction
[…] « Oh, wait, you won’t die […]
The depth that the Nt scum will go to , to confuse and twist and scare , all in the name of democracy . Aye right.
54 countries have left the British Empire and with a blessing but the Scots attempt at leaving brings bile and abuse on a scale i never thought possible.
Scots everywhere WILL remember this. Curren and their like will be history after the 18th. I will be furious if they come out with the old “it’s only politics ” routine , they are a disgrace and i for one will campaigning to keep everyone of these out of office in an iScotland.
They have systematically scared and smeared the people they are supposed to represent. Traitors the whole lot of them.
The agony they have put people through is unforgivable . The uk can sink for all i care and drag these scum down with them .
YESGUY says:
Some will get out, they will not be able to live down what they have done. Places like Argentina perhaps, those who try and tough it out will be humiliated. I can’t wait!
“Scottish independence will not affect organ donation and the system will continue as it does currently.”
Unless, of course, Gordon Brown’s remarks were intended to be taken as a threat rather than a scare story. Is he intimating that a future rUK Government might end cooperation between NHS England and NHS Scotland? If so, shouldn’t the British parties be honest with people on both sides of the border about what they intend?
Shouldn’t they be explaining the consequences for everybody of such action in retaliation for a Yes vote?
And what if the health services in Wales and Northern Ireland decide they want no part of this destructive petulance? Will the rUK government be looking for ways to force them to abandon current arrangements?
You would think that anyone who occupied a very high office in the uk government would know this information already,otherwise,they possibly weren’t very good at their job. Must be the turn of the Tories on the indyref-merry-go-round,we haven’t seen many since the reshuffle.
Never before has a political party been dominated with such incompetent halfwits.
That will be the epitaph on the tombstone of the Scottish Labour Party
See, as much as I detest the Tories, they are generally honest. They make it clear they are going to screw society over and don’t pretend otherwise. labour on the other hand deceives and lies at every turn.
Peter A Bell says:
You are entirely right Peter, but what they should, be doing is being honest about the consequences to Scotland in a NO vote. However as we know, that ain’t going to happen. They are bitter to the third degree, they have so much to lose personally.
Can a small number of posters on here stop accusing people of serious crimes please? You are libelling people and they can take legal action FFS.
There is a bit of a bun fight going on about this over at the Courier, just in case anyone wants to contribute:
link to thecourier.co.uk
Tony Blair has come out of his crypt to say he believes we scots will reject independence
Story over at the torygraph if anyone wants to go there.
How could any decent person do what Brown has just done? I honestly don’t know how he can look at himself in a mirror. The same goes for Charles Kennedy after last week, wee shite.
I wonder if Gordon Brown scares himself?
Probably every morning, when he looks in the mirror.
Well done Rev, for getting to the bottom of this despicable lie, Gordon Brown’s disturbing and frankly, heinous lie that Scots would miss out on transplants across the UK, if we vote yes to independence, shows just what a deceitful, vile person Mr Brown really is.
Meanwhile another member of Labour makes a claim, without any real evidence.
link to dailyrecord.co.uk
The referendum campaign has certainly exposed the true nature of the Scottish Labour Party and the main characters that run the show.
It’s not very nice, is it?
I doubt Gordon believes half the stuff he comes out with. He is a reasonably intelligent man…Kezia…not so sure.,
I’m almost absolutely certain that Kezia is definitely not a man 😀
What I find most shameful is that once the story changes from ‘we are all going to die (pennyless)’ into ‘labour/tory/lib dem lying to frighten electorate into voting No’ the line seems to go dead. If Alex Salmond had been proved completely, perfectly wrong on an issue we would hear about it forever.
And the scare story itself will be repeated by the media tonight despite it’s destruction with or without the caveat that it is ‘allegedly’ horseshit. They cannot not use it.
Why Gordon Brown, a discredited sham taking money for nothing is offered this protection is one of the most surreal aspects of the campaign.
As for poor old Kezia she has gone too far down the road to do anything but bite down hard and lie through her teeth. Some socialist – with a No vote she is culpable for the devastation facing the Scottish NHS she is so certain will not happen.
Funny thing is, I don’t think anyone seriously expects the Scottish NHS to improve with a No vote – and confidence in the English NHS improving is even lower.
Is the height of aspiration for all these proud Scots voting No that our lot will get no worse?
I still yearn for a labour MSP to be brave and true to their principles, and put our country and her people first by crossing the floor. It would also mean putting their own career prospects first in a the event of a Yes vote. Too many are keeping their heads down hoping to come out the other end unscathed whatever the result.
((It goes without saying that no MP will switch to yes obviously – it is as inconcievable for me to beat the great Usain Bolt in the 100m as it is for a labour MP to put their country before their own financial gain.))
Leaving it too close to the vote may have impact but it also smacks of opportunism.
It would give me a labour MSP I could respect.
Yet another fairytale debunked.It’s gross stupidity if crash Gordon can even think that such nonsense would go unchallenged.
The Courier headline and article will only be believed by the most naive of readers-and that’s their aim.The Courier is losing respect and circulation, and is becoming more like the other comics it produces.
DUGDALE is an attention seeker and she along with Jenny Marra are positioning themselves for post indie positions in Ed Milliband’s One Nation Labour. Curran and her likes will be sent back to Jockland.
It can only be a matter of time until one of the SLAB mob sees the light. I wonder what are the bookies are offering?
None of my posts getting through today?
I wonder if the wee twittertwat Labour wannabee from Liverpool has the decency to apologise.
Morality or honesty would probably fuck up any future career in Labour right enough so I’d guess not.
One last thing – isn’t It UKIP policy to bring in GP charges? If so it is conceivable that a CON UKIP coalition would happily impose them. As the Rev says it is certainly the direction of travel for the Conservatives.
@Major
Only the uninformative ones. 🙂 Probably Aksimet having an information overload.
O/T Rev, I do apologise.
Key figureheads of the upper Clyde Shipbuilders (1971) sit in back a YES vote. The seven veterans say, independence is the only way to save Scottish shipbuilding, claiming diversification is the only way the yards will survive. Due to the stark reality that once the MoD contracts are finished, the yards will close down, due to lack of orders.

Peter A Bell says: Unless, of course, Gordon Brown’s remarks were intended to be taken as a threat rather than a scare story. Is he intimating that a future rUK Government might end cooperation between NHS England and NHS Scotland?
This step could be tricky as there is an EU Directive of 2012, which member states are obliged to translate into domestic law, that requires member states to cooperate with regard to organ donations and cross-border transfers.
link to nhsconfed.org
Of course, if the rUK drops out of the EU then there could be a problem, though mainly for the rUK (amongst the many other problems they will have brought upon themselves by exiting the EU).
Well done Peter Bell
The response in the wreckord was well said.
Always follow your comments online. You have a way with words and said exactly how i felt after reading the diatribe this morning.
One thing i do know is most folk are getting pissed off with the same old shite thrown out by the NT mob. I don’t get it, if they want us to stay in the Uk then say so without the rubbish and scares. But they can’t and that’s whats changing the DK minds.
Scotland will be the only country on earth with substantial assets and natural resources that can’t survive with the rUK. Bollocks
We as a nation have contributed more to the modern world than anyone including the rUk . We have a place at the table of nations waiting and we will soon take our seat. That day is coming soon.
We are winning folks. We have waited for the reasons for union and they have failed to give even one positive. they have milked our wealth for their own and we have finally say NO MORE.
Weeks to go and boy are we gonna party.

“Oh good I look forward the retraction that Mr Brown will release”.
Tell me, Croompenstein, do you know the lyric of, “There’s a Long, Long Road Awinding”? ‘Cos I’m thinking that looking forward of yours might just be looking forward down just such a long, long winding road.
Gordon Brown is such a liar! I hate the fact he comes from Fife, Scotland. He is such an embarrassment !!
Sorry o/t Cameron just said in Parliament that no one should stand by and let a big country bully another country! Oh the irony of it all. ( He was speaking of Ukraine and Russia doing the bullying ). I literally laughed out loud in the kitchen. He’s one BIG Buffoon! Punching his weight on the world stage. Of course!
Nothing surprises me now about Brown or Labour politicians generally in the referendum debate. They will stoop to whatever depths, exaggerate & spin any falsehood to save their skins.
It pains me to now say that many years ago I had quite a bit of respect for Brown. The scales began to be lifted from my eyes when I read the serialisation of Andrew Rawnsley’s book “The End of the Party”. Any respect I had left evaporated when I read the whole book, & also Alistair Campbell’s Diaries. Brown is probably the worst example for the past half century of the tribal, machine driven Labour politician. Take your pick of adjectives to describe him : utterly egocentric, bullying, backstabbing, truculent, insecure, moody, behaving like a petulant child who for at least 10 years treated his own close colleagues & aides disgracefully. It says something that when you read the contemporaneous accounts, you actually begin to have sympathy with Blair for what he had to put up with.
Incidentally, of relevance to the Indy debate, you may remember Brown’s attempts even as Chancellor to extol a sense of “Britishness”. He discussed it with Campbell, who thought it was contrived crap about sharing institutions like the NHS. Otherwise, Campbell thought it was essentially some refined notion of Englishness. Campbell concluded that it was basically an attempt by Brown to justify why a Scot could/should be prime minister of the UK. So even then, the agenda was all about what’s good for Gordon…
Great, speedy work!

Pig pancreas cells have been transplanted embedded in gels permeable to glucose and insulin but not immune cells in people in New Zealand some months ago. There are no epidemics of novel pig viruses in NZ so they seem to have passed the safety tests. Not sure about the efficacy ones mind. Last I heard nobody was completely off injected insulin as a result. But as a proof of principle it’s a good one.

There’s a Long, Long Trail A-Winding
Nights are growing very lonely,
Days are very long;
I’m a-growing weary only
List’ning for your song.
Old remembrances are thronging
Thro’ my memory.
Till it seems the world is full of dreams
Just to call you back to me.
Chorus:
There’s a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams:
There’s a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I’ll be going down
That long, long trail with you.
All night long I hear you calling,
Calling sweet and low;
Seem to hear your footsteps falling,
Ev’ry where I go.
Tho’ the road between us stretches
Many a weary mile.
I forget that you’re not with me yet,
When I think I see you smile.
Chorus:
There’s a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams:
There’s a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I’ll be going down
That long, long trail with you.

“While Lord (John) Reid, Mr Brown and Lord (George) Robertson – all Scottish-born cabinet secretaries who served under Mr Blair – have made major speeches on independence in recent months, the former prime minister has stayed away from the campaign trail.”
Robertson was mad, Reed was creepy.

First Bliar Macbloater’s tweet, Yes fear mongering all weekend. It’s one way of going about your work day, get caught with your super size big boy pants on fire and call it Yes fear mongering. Love Bliar’s new 6 pack photos too, bless.
@ Alexicon. Looked at this shite, sorry site. Noted that Nige Farrago is planning ‘rally’ in Sept. in Scotland.
Does this mean the kippers are marching with the bowler hatted twats in sashes? The mind boggles…colonel blimp, home county, estuary types ambling along with mono-browed Caledonian cretins in ill-fitting suits?
Mayhem is guaranteed. One of the oddities is that in my experience OO types love being British but hate the English. Ask the good people of Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, etc.
gillie, above, complained of the Herald blocking posts which criticise its reporting.
I am afraid, that’s one of the no-nos listed in their terms and conditions – you can politely criticise other posters – provided said poster is Not an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire – but not the Herald or its writers.
I’ve had more red cards than Willie “Bud” Johnston for doing this.

Yeah! Me too. I was giving the wee dog her quick, before evening meal walk and was coming back through a new housing developement. The street was full of people, mainly playing children. I have a tiny DAB radio and heard Cameron speak. I couldn’t help bursting into loud laughted. Boy did I get some strange looks.

Thank you Wings for putting this Jobbie right back in the box.

I thought I recognised one of the volunteers at Glasgow Airport on STV news just now. Then discovered her name is Elizabeth. Yep, THAT Elizabeth. The one in the Vote No Borders videos. At least she is Scottish, but did they have to have someone so openly anti-Yes greeting the athletes.

Just an observation.
@ Jill P
Don’t know about you but looking at the pictures of the baton’s progress there doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm for the commonwealth games in Scotland. I viewed from afar a baton relay run near my home about a week ago and there were more police than spectators. I didn’t want a closer look because I feel the games are being used – because of biased reporting – as a front for the No campaign. There seems to be a conspicuous lack of saltires in the pictures.
Am I alone in these feelings?

“How I loathe Davidson, surely him, and Jimmy Hood, can’t really be Scottish can they?”
Indeed they can. There has always been sneaky, little fawning ("Tractor" - Ed)ous faction among we Scots. It was their type that got us into this hellish mess in 1707 remember?
What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro’ many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling ("Tractor" - Ed)’s wages.

Secure in valour’s station;
But English gold has been our bane-
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
Robert Burns.
I took great delight in Kezia Dugdale making an arse of herself in today’s Record. She writes a whole column denying any danger to the NHS if we vote NO and she is followed on the next page by Sir Harry Burns, ex supremo of Scotland’s NHS, who just blows her completely out of the water and confirms vividly the danger facing Scotland from the destruction of the NHS in England.
Bit sad really. I actually thought Kezia had something to offer. The lassie is on the wrong horse galloping the wrong way and she will be consigned to the dustbin of history. On a YES vote we must work to remove Kezia and people like her from national life.
And what is the Record up to? Sir Harry Burns and the veterans of UCS declaring for YES over two pages with Nicola featured again.
No mention of Referendum on STV or BBC news @6 but Scotland Tonight has moved on to the currency scare again so we will be faced with the Chairchoob spouting pish.

Is is perhaps that the DR is starting to hedge its bets.

“They list all tweets but link all facts and stats too which is very useful but probably not the point. Must have taken ages to put together.”
Yes. I thought so too. I emailed them to thank them for the valuable information – for the YES side. Had a wee prod at them about the Crash Gordon and Kezia Dugdale error in lying about blood and organ donors when there was an EU directive saying that there was EU, never mind inter UK+Republic, exchanges already negotiated. All nice and respectful mind you.
All these cross border health care scares stories are just pathetic nonsense.
Even if rUK were vindictive enough to withdraw cooperation (and vindictiveness would be the only real reason for doing so) there is nothing to stop NHS Scotland cooperating with Ireland, any of the Scandinavian countries, Holland, France, Germany…
So where’s the issue?

SHE WILL PERSONALLY GUARANTEE???? Who thought she ran the Government? Hilarious!
O/T It looks like the London Evening Standard is ‘doing a Scotsman’ tonight. Front page banner goes with ‘I get trolled over the Scottish Referendum’ – Nicola Bendetti on the polarising union debate, pages 20&21.
Okay hold your breath… heading splash: ‘I get trolled about the Scottish referendum all the time’
Now you might think the article, all 30 paragraphs of it, is about Nicola and her views on the Scottish referendum?
Not quite, this article is indeed about one of Scotland’s amazing musicians, about her life, work and hopes for the future. Buried in there is a cheeky question about the Scottish referendum. Guess what, Nicola does NOT rise to the bait. All the interviewer, Charlotte Edwardes, could get out of Nicola was two skinny paragraphs about the referendum:
‘Last week Benedetti’s new album Homecoming: A Scottish Fantasy, soared to number 19 in the UK album charts… Inevitably, her detractors* claim her firecracker beauty and panduriform figure are the real reasons anyone is paying attention. But there are also suggestions** that the album capitalises on the emotional fervour around Scottish Independence. She won’t be drawn on where she stands on the referendum.’
“I get trolled about it all the time. It barely makes its way to me anymore, because they’ve learned that they are not going to make me say anything.
“People have to respect your right to private opinion. It was so emotional over JK Rowling. If I lived in Scotland I might feel differently. I might feel a greater obligation to speak up.”
That’s it. The Evening Standard got a front page banner, a double page headline and a pull quote from that and it was only two paragraphs out of 30.
*what detractors?
**what suggestions and from whom?
Last week in the same paper, a piece that had nothing to do with Scotland or the Scottish referendum, JK Rowling was introduced in the story as the ‘Scottish nationalists number one enemy.’
This is the sort of shit journalism that the people of SE England are being fed on a daily basis down here. There is only one reason for it to stir up so much hate towards Scotland that in the event of NO vote any chance of further devolution or continuing Barnett formula will be met with outcry… ‘the majority of the people have spoken’ the Westmidden troughers would say.

RIC have organized a lecture tomorrow night (22 July) at 7pm in the Mitchell Theatre, Glasgow, with Leanne Wood AM, leader of Plaid Cymru, entitled “Wales and Scotland – Our Independent Future”.
I bought my ticket a long time ago, but they are still e-mailing me about it, so perhaps sales have been slow. Tickets cost £2, plus a fee of 77p. Tickets will be available on the door, but they advise booking/arriving early.
Today the e-mail included the addition of Tam Brotherston, one of the UCS signatories to the DR letter, as a guest speaker.

Well I’ll never tire of hearing English Conservatives going “I love Scotland” but “I will hate Scotland, if Scotland does vote Yes” even in Slovenia:D
If you read the Record View today you would realise that there is not a cat in hells chance of that paper coming out for Yes. They do publish the excellent piece from the Upper Clyde shipbuilders but the View then takes their views apart. They then close with another attack on the SNP’s proposal to cut corporation tax – So if you are an undecided voter and the Yes campaign call at your door, you might want to ask how cutting the tax of Scotland’s most profit-rich businesses will benefit the poor, the old and the jobless.
Now, didn’t Crash Gordon cut this tax not once, but twice whilst PM?

I dropped some arduous chores this afternoon to assist a very elderly lady who had managed to get her car stuck side-on at the end of my cul-de-sac lane.
A few minutes coaxing had her trust me with the steering wheel to reverse the car out to the main street, delighted to get out of the scrape and on the way to her hairdresser.
“How can I thank you?”
Give me hope you’re voting Yes for our full democracy.”
“Oh, no! It is fearful!”
“Fearful?”
“Oh, yes. Everything about it. I’m a No.”
“Well, nothing much will alter for two years or so, and it might take ten to reinstitute the civil rights we’ve lost, and regain full sovereignty. I hope you’ll participate.”
She smiled nervously and drove off.
I wondered if she had realised a decade might see her out before we see full rights in.
One poor creature well and truly inculcated by the Fear Campaign’s scaremongering. As far as she is concerned Armageddon is around the corner.
Fats MacDee and his mob certainly know how to put the fear of death into the elderly.

We are so used to this blatant misrepresentation in the press it barely registers now – so sad.
I have to say I feel a certain envy towards Nicola Benedetti and not for her incredible ability. People care about her opinion on this crucial vote. It is her absolute right to keep her own counsel, like Andy Murray and a number of famous, talented Scots.
No one in the press will ever give a monkeys about my views on anything. Unless I go loco and start abusing people on the Web I remain just an ordinary Scot – opinion neither saught nor important.
Like all of us I have 1 day to speak to the world and by God I will speak. There are people who listen to me before this day in September and if I can get enough of them to listen, and we all do the same we have this won.
It is a privelage to live in this time. No one in Europe is having the conversation we are having about our country’s future. Love the fight for our children’s future – it is something we can all be proud of.
Ian Davidson MP, (Glasow South-West) chairperson UK Scottish Affairs Select Committee, lying through his filed teeth again, this time on a BBC radio interview.
“All the leaders of the main political parties [true] and the governor of the Bank of England [big lie] have said there will be no sharing of ‘our’ currency.”
An egregious error and no condradiction offered from the non-alert terribly polite BBC interviewer.
It’s a crap chairperson who hears only what he wants to hear and wastes witnesses and expert’s time bringing them before him to give evidence.
Quentin’s solace: She told them she is a dedicated Yes voter and has talked two of her chums into voting Yes.
Double that woman’s pension at once!
I wonder when we can expect Ian Davidson to apologies to Mark Carney, for so blatantly misrepresenting his position re. currency union?
I am just spending a moment of thought for all the so called ‘professional’ journalists operating in Scotland…

The last and nastiest of the dinosaurs is stirring.
Compare what the Scottish Parliament has done and will be doing for the elderly, a NHS that works, free personal care and a better pension than Westminster’s with what Westminster provides and is promising:-
A NHS that doesn’t work, A&Es have not hit their treatment targets for more than a year.
Personal care if your Council can afford it even despite the rises in council tax
An unaffordable pension promise even after putting up pension age
An Assisted Dying Act so you can top yourself when life becomes unbearable
and a promise from both big parties of twice as much austerity as we’ve already suffered yet to come.
There is no way that the biggest cost, pensions, can escape Westminster’s austerity axe even though they are already the second worst in Europe.
Vote No for a grotty old age in an English region
Canvassing tonight in a fairly poor bit of Glasgow but with lots of blue noses (trying not to be too impolite!). Lots of people very cynical about politicians in general. Telling them that Gordon Brown is a lier doesn’t really have much effect on them I’m afraid. They think Yes and No are both lying and it’s hard work trying to explain to them that it’s No that’s doing all the running iin the lying stakes.
As usual some really nice people. Even managed to convert a guy who’s opening line was,”I’m a loyalist so I’ll be voting No”. Pretty good eh!? One English lady liked my description of No voters as classic “Whinging Jocks”. They just want to moan about Westminster politicians making a mess of things but give them a chance to manage their own affairs and they recoil to their comfort zone of no responsibility. She was a don’t know her husband a nailed on Yes. I’d like think she moved a little to the light after our conversation. I really enjoyed talking to both of them. Gave them an Aye Right card. If you’re reading this folks, Hi!
Cal – and everyone else, that is how we do this. When I die I want it to be safe in the knowledge that the future for Scotland is as a nation.

When I die I want it to be safe in the knowledge that the future for Scotland is as a nation.
Well said Paula, since I know you are English the desire for democracy and socilal inclusion must mean a lot more than Nationalism to you.
Cal, Grouse beater and anyone else who’ll listen.
Most of us on here do canvassing and leafleting etc. and we all pretty know the areas we are dealing with, be it elderly or staunch blue noses we have to target these people by putting their fears at ease.
I am posting the new YES booklets through 350 doors soon in an area that I know is about 90% pensioners. My intention is to post my own photo copy of the Scotsman article where a UK Government minister has said that the UK will still pay the pensions in an Independent Scotland. I’m using the Scotsman because it is not the YES side or the no side that’s saying it, it is a right wing pro unionist newspaper that many will listen too because it’s what they believe, it’s in the newspaper so it must be true.
For blue noses? Maybe a printout (newspaper version) of the McCrone report will do.
It is time to target different societies of the population.
@macart763m
To be fair we actually do have weapons of mass destruction.
I think it would be a good idea if folk posted on off-topic pieces such as that suggested by alexicon. Pdfs of such material can then be printed and used in a targeted way – also useful in Yes shops and stalls.
We might find these useful at the Seafest stall Thepnr.

The NNS article on Blair doesn’t name which ‘think-tank’ he was addressing when he stuck his oar in re indy-ref.
Anyone know if his comments were in response to a question, or a part of his speech?
In any event, it would be splendid to see him make a day-trip north before Sep 18th – BTUKOKNOBORDERSNOTHANKS have run out of big-hitters, and he’d be sure to receive plenty of interest and huge crowds, naematterwhereveraboots in North Britain he chooses to show his preternaturally crumbling coupon.

I forgot to say that while canvassing tonight, I came across a woman who said she’d heard if you don’t vote, it counts as a Yes! We need to nip that one in the bud!!
Go back and visit the woman Cal and give her a photo copy of Iain MacWhirters article on privatising the Scottish NHS.
You could also give her an article on how the OO is signed up to better together. Find out what pushes her Independence button.
Target that vote, it could lead to more votes for us.
@Nana Smith –
Cheers.

This appears to be it – the ‘Philip Gould Lecture’. No mention of Scotland and/or indy-ref that I saw in a brief scan. Plenty of stuff about Africa though. He’s ‘saving’ Africa. Lucky Africa…
Interesting to ‘hear’ that voice again. What a master of bawbaggery. Really quite difficult to read without feeling the urge to vomit (‘my work is global’ etc) – nae worries Tony. If you were looking for immortality, you’ve found it right here, in Scotland, cause we’ll never ever ever forget you.

There’s no end to Tony’s talents.
And is he worth £100,000,000? – well, his DNA must hold valuable secrets as to how a human being can decay so quickly.
It didn’t take long for a ‘troublemaker without a degree’ to do some proper journalistic work and provide proof that “Gordon Brown is lying through his teeth to terrify Scottish people into voting No”.
No doubt the Sunday Herald will point this out in its next edition.

From the Grauniad link you provided:
‘A Miliband spokesperson said the meeting with Obama lasted 25 minutes. “The Leader of the Opposition and the President discussed a range of issues, including the situation in Ukraine, Gaza, and the future of the European Union,” the spokesperson said. “The pair also discussed the economy, climate change and the approaching referendum in Scotland.”‘
Wow…
Miliband managed to discuss all that stuff with the U.S. President, in TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES!?
He must be a genius, and perfect PM material.

Thanks for that. You just reminded me to reply to an email from the very nice policeman who is seriously looking into this. We are arranging another meeting, soon.
It will come out. Keep the faith. (I just wish it hadn’t decided to get serious right at the same time as the referendum, that’s all.)
Thanks for the heads up Thepnr. 😉
I think you are making a rather HUGE assumption there Ian, I’m not so sure that he was ever a human being.

That picture of the Labour bus reminds me of what I hear from those that visit Pyeongyang up north. You get put on buses with blacked out windows so that you can’t see the utter devastation around you. SO that you can’t see the common people struggling to get by, and can only see what the tour leaders want you to see as you get off at each stop to take Communist Party approved pictures.
Its absolutely frickin’ hilarious. Labour wouldn’t know irony if it backhanded them on the face.
Morag Graham Kerr.
Thanks for that. I’ll put the bacofoil back in the pantry.
I’m afraid that this is a case of a truth that is so shocking, it can’t be allowed to see the light of day.
For what it’s worth (zilch), I’m of the opinion that every PM and President since ’89 has known that the Libyans were a convenient fall guy, to take the rap for Irans revenge, and are, by default, compliant in the cover up.
If the Soviet union wasn’t collapsing at the same time, we would have seen the real culprits named, and Libya would never have come into it.
And why ? Same as it’s ever been. The $$$ to be made from exploiting other nations natural resources.
The Iranian government NEEDED to show they had had revenge for their airbus being shot down by the US, and the US gave them it on a plate.

I would think that the car park for the Science building next door to BBC Scotland will remain open.
BBC Scotland are running shows outside their offices, so I would think that there must be parking for people turning up for them.
If not, there is plenty of parking spaces in the surrounding streets that could be used.
Ibrox Park is only two minutes from BBC Scotland and they deal with thousands of cars every home game.

Thanks for that.Since I’m not au fait with the changes that have happened in Glasgow recently(the last time I was there was over 10yrs ago,I used to get lost in Inverness)I think I’ll stick with bus or train,unless I can get someone else to drive.
For parking at Pacific Quay on Sunday 27th July, use The Science Centre car park which is next door to BBC Scotland.

When, How did that one happen ?
Here’s a different take on the issues.
link to theguardian.com
Typical BBC scare story about Scotland. This is the actual headline from the BBC website,
“Scots coffee ‘stronger’ than Italy and Spain.”
When you read the story, they are not talking about Scotland but Glasgow, then you discover that it is only espresso coffee they are talking about.
And the final surprise is that the high caffeine reading was taken from ONE coffee shop in the West End of Glasgow.
So to suggest that Scotland’s coffee has higher caffeine levels than that of Spain or Italy is just another BBC lie.
I think super investigative journalist Eleanor Bradford has her paw prints all over this bullshit.
Ian Brotherhood: interestingly, with reference to the meeting between President Obama and Ed Milliband, the White House website, in a (very) brief report of the meeting doesn’t mention any discussion of the referendum (says issues discussed “included Ukraine, Israel/Gaza and Iraq”), so if it was discussed, it was so unimportant to the US that it fell off the radar.
If the Labour press release is accurate, they can have spent no more than 4 minutes on any of the issues, assuming an equal split. I doubt much of any value will come from that. Mr Milliband was probably just reassuring the President that in the highly unlikely event of him being a future UK PM, the troops will be on tap for any wee foreign jaunts (but we may have problems with air cover, unless we can buy back any of the Harriers we sold them).
It’s simply an event designed to make a no-hoper look like a statesman. If the Labour Party could bring itself to be interested in true social justice, a fairer society, and true representative democracy, they might not be in the mess they are at the moment. Sadly, they’re too stupid to see that an independent Scotland would be their best hope of becoming a serious political force in England again, and moving back towards the ideals of their founders. Their loss.

It would appear the SFA and EUFA are in collusion to delay this farcical game, so that ALL Scottish football fans will not erupt when UK Dependency – Gibraltar – has equal status to Scotland.
Another despicable humiliation versus Scots.
Believe it or not – Gibraltarians can get their British Passport in Gibraltar, while Scottish Passports are processed in Belfast since 2007.

I heard that bull shit story yesterday
on GMS.
I thought it was weird at the time as why would coffee shops in Glasgow differ from all others across Scotland, never mind differ from the rest of Britain.
After all the predominant players are ‘Costa Coffee’, ‘Starbucks’ , ‘Coffee Republic’
All provide exactly the same as every other branch, in every town, city etc
So came to the conclusion that it really was a complete crock
What “queen” would that be? In 1746?
“Bring” rhymes with – you guessed it – “king”.
Defo, have you read my Lockerbie book?
The one thing we know now for sure is that the Pan Am 103 bomb didn’t fly in from Frankfurt as the police believed, but was already in the baggage container before the connecting flight from Frankfurt landed. And that the investigators missed (or turned a blind eye to) an absolute shedload of evidence which shows that very clearly.
That is SUCH a central finding that it turns everything else completely upside down. It throws the whole thing back in the melting pot and I wouldn’t care to speculate on what the case will look like when the kaleidoscope stops again.
It’s proving very difficult to get the police and in particular the Crown Office to take this on board. Hardly surprising. It’s major egg on face territory. It shows that the original investigation was off the rails from a very early stage, and the entire case against Libya and Megrahi was complete candy-floss. It means that the Crown Office has been wasting thousands of pounds junketing off to Libya looking for the supposed “accomplices” of a man who had nothing to do with the crime.
However, progress is being made, on three fronts. There is the appeal which was launched last month, and the public petition in front of the Justice Committee, and the work I and my associates are doing directly with the police and which I have a new meeting about later this week.
I wrote a great article for Wings about the appeal and the grounds of appeal, but Stu didn’t publish it because of pressure of material directly relating to the referendum. I’m working on Bella Caledonia, so we’ll see what happens.
Morag. Thanks for the reply, and well done on your efforts to get things moving again. A difficult task, as it suits almost everyone to just accept the Libyan story, and put it behind them.
As to it not being directly related to the referendum, I don’t see how the biggest miscarriage of justice we will ever see, & perpetuated by HM govt isn’t one of the better reasons to cut the link with London.
Oh sure, but Stu has enough work for three men just now and he has to prioritise. I’m still trying to get on the same page as Bella Caledonia, so it might be published there.
Morag,
Is the Lockheed Hydra theory still in the loop?
I see the original ‘attack or a trick?’ in The Firm, which I believe was by Robert Black, has been replaced with this link to firmmagazine.com . Which is undated and not attributed.
I always felt this was very believeable having had knowledge of a totally unsuitable military cargo being sent (albeit by error or unbelievable incompetence) in a passenger plane, without documentation, where it sat until somebody opened the crates to what it was.
At morag – what is your point ?
Lizzie or Charlie as MONARCH ? AT 1746 – OR TODAY ?
bring rhymes with King ?
The same message has resounded through the centuries via this GERMAN/GREEK Monarchy – screw the Scots !!
Of course, we Scots can obviously “Trust ” Charlie as much as did – Diana. D`oh ?
“Royal Assent” ?
Has anyone calculated the exact Scottish Land Mass Owned by the “Crown Estate” – Outside the actual LAND MASS of Scotland.
I refer to the “TWELVE NAUTICAL MILES” around Mainland Scotland plus the TWELVE NAUTICAL MILES around the Inner Hebrides, around the Outer Hebrides and Around the Orkney and Shetland Islands – all owned by Crown Estate.
“REBELLIOUS SCOTS TO CRUSH”
Who gets the money from Wind Turbines – ANCHORED – on the Seabed Owned by the CROWN ESTATE ?
Not Scots !!!
My point is that you misquoted the verse. Nothing more.
Cearc, there is no doubt whatsoever that Pan Am 103 blew apart in midair as a result of an improvised explosive device which was disguised as a radio-cassette player, which was packed inside a brown hardshell suitcase. This suitcase was loaded in baggage container AVE4041, very low down to the extreme left, towards the open side of the container.
This is absolutely clear from the descriptions and photos of what was picked up on the ground by the search teams. Over the years a number of conspiracy theories have been mooted alleging a cargo of military ordnance, or a simple air accident due to a fault in the plane, and a number of other suggestions. None of them stands up to even the most superficial examination. We can all play “what if?”, but that’s all these suggestions are. The physical evidence speaks for itself and tells a very exact story.
The point I am struggling to get over is that the story is more exact even than the investigators realised. The only real question was whether the suitcase with the bomb in it was the one on the bottom of the front left-hand stack in the container, or the one on top of it, on the second layer. This was important, because the one on the bottom was seen in the container at Heathrow an hour before the connecting flight landed. The one on the second layer was one of the cases transferred from the connecting flight.
The investigators decided early on that the bomb had been in the case on the second layer, for no very readily apparent reason, and everything was then massaged into that theory. The problem is, if you examine the primary evidence carefully, it can be seen beyond any doubt at all that the explosion happened in the case on the bottom.
Sell you a book if you like….
PS. Steven Raeburn (The Firm) is obsessed with Robbie the Pict and John Parkes. He’s absolutely impervious to reason. I have the emails to prove it. When I see his name on an article, I stop reading. No matter that it may start out well, he always comes back to Parkes, and Parkes was a volunteer helper who didn’t understand what he was witnessing and was quite obviously mistaken.
Morag,
Thanks for that.
