Quoted for wait what now?

Posted on May 02, 2014 by

David Cameron, Prime Minister’s Questions, 30 April 2014:

“I think that what Alex Salmond said [about Vladimir Putin] was a major error of judgment and that all of us in this House should be supporting the Ukrainian desire to be a sovereign, independent country and to have the respect of the international community and party leaders for that ambition.”

(Our emphasis.) It’s not only us finding that just the tiniest bit hypocritical, is it?

“A Foreign Office department ostensibly set up to promote the Scottish Government’s interests is being used against it in the independence referendum, diplomatic cables have revealed.

The Devolution Unit, created by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 2012 to deliver abroad the ‘utmost co-operation’, now appears to be at the heart of Westminster’s anti-independence drive, amassing hostile reactions from overseas.

Also the chaps/chapesses at the Foreign Office may well be telling US, New Zealand, Australian and Canadian Scots to vote No in Sept. There’s certainly keen interest in the homeland in Canada, its just never reported anywhere in Scotlandshire. Funny that.

magnus barelegs

perfidious albions double speak.

Robert Louis

To be clear, London/Westminster has absolutely bugger all respect for Scotland or Scottish independence.

As for David Cameron’s comments-clearly talk is cheap.

Richard Taylor

Simple. Cameron doesn’t think of Scotland as a country – therefore there is no non-sequitur in his mind.

starlaw

Britain launched into WW1, so that Small Nations Might Be Free, but totally ignored Ireland, so nothing new here.

bunter

You know, if The Sunday Herald has not been got at, there is huge potential for stories about these hypocritical lying two faced barstewards this weekend. Just saying, if your listening Mr Bell & Mr MacWhirter.

Anyway I hope I’ve not pissed off my facebook friends today as I think I’ve shared dozens of links from here, Bateman, Craig Murray etc. Doh!

Schiehallion! Schiehallion!

The silence of the “Scottish” press on all of this is – or ought to be – shocking.

One has to assume that at least one of those countries has someone in “government and local contacts” prepaired to forward said breifing.

Alex Beveridge

These actions by Westminster are entirely predictable. The full weight of the Establishment has been, and will continue to be, brought against the independence campaign. It’s only their arrogance, they believed they were going to win easily, that has delayed their projects, but from now until September we are going to be hit with one scare story after another. Hopefully, these lies will have the opposite effect than what they intend, and that websites such as this one will quickly point out the facts, rather than the spin put on them by their friends in the M.S.M, led of course by the B.B.C.

Giving Goose

Can we ask difficult questions of the Scottish Press following a Yes vote? Can we put them on the spot and ask them to justify their shocking bias against Scotland? Of course we can and we should.

heedtracker

One recent cable showed UK embassies being ordered to forward a Westminster paper critical of independence “to their host governments and other local contacts” and then feed their comments back to the Devolution Unit “ASAP”.

It would be great to see what their vote No johnny foreigner cables say though, ” Dear foreign types, we’re currently trying to stop Scotland from running Scotland from Sept and we need all the help we can get. We only have the whole UKOK media industry and the BBC desperately trying to frighten/pressure them into agreeing to let us run them but its probably not going to be enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated by me, Alistair Darling, the Queen, England, Gavin Estler, Donald Trump etc but if you have nothing nice to say about teamGB, stay the fcuk out of it or we’ll nuke you.

Yours honestly, David Cameron, Rule Britannia.”

Greannach

It hasn’t even started yet. This is the empire warming. Just wait till the summer then we’ll see what they’re fully capable of, if we didn’t know already. I’m still waiting for false flag violence and hoping it doesn’t happen.

Calgacus MacAndrews

Can I report the BBC to my local Trading Standards Office for ‘unfair trading’?

Pilar

Once again, I would like to let you all know about “Solidarity with Scotland International Campaign”.
Please have a look and spread the word especially to your relatives and friends living abroad.

We want to respond to the UK Government iniciative and fill the Devolution Unit of the British Embassies around the world with letters with positive messages of support for Scottish Independence.

heedtracker

Calgacus MacAndrews, the BBC is misselling and unfairly trading, wiki says
“Misselling is the deliberate, reckless, or negligent sale of products or services in circumstances where the contract is either misrepresented, or the product or service is unsuitable for the customer’s needs. For example, selling life insurance to someone who has no dependents is regarded as misselling”
BBC charter sez 1.3.2

BBC Charter specifies that we should do all we can “to ensure that controversial subjects are treated with due accuracy and impartiality” in our news and other output dealing with matters of public policy or political or industrial controversy.

That “due” is probably how bloated BBC in Scotland liggers like Brian taylor get out of actually doing the vote NO miselling with accuracy and impartiality.

Jamie Arriere

Nothing Alex Salmond said was an error of judgement, but agreeing to give an interview to Alastair Campbell might have been.

Has that article even been published yet?

frankieboy

Alex Salmond is not of ‘this house’ even if what he said was what they have twisted it to mean.

Arbroath 1320

“I think that what Alex Salmond said [about Vladimir Putin] was a major error of judgment and that all of us in this House should be supporting the Ukrainian desire to be a sovereign, independent country and to have the respect of the international community and party leaders for that ambition.”

Isn’t that nice. That very nice and compassionate chap Mr Cameron calling for support across the whole of the House of Commons to help support Ukraine be a sovereign independent country. Not only that but they should also get respect from party leaders and the wider international community for trying to do so.

I think this is an admirable quest, I really do. Mr. Cameron standing up there at PMQ’s asking for support to be given to countries wanting to be independent and sovereign in their own right. Now obviously Ukraine is a major issue at the moment and has Mr Cameron’s full attention, however, I am certain that once Mr Cameron has fulfilled this ambitious project he will have time on his hands to move on to the next country wishing to become an independent and sovereign country. 🙂

Now if only we could find such a country just now, so that we can give Mr Cameron a heads up you understand. I have to admit that at this moment in time I’m kind of stumped about which country in the world would possibly be looking to emulate Ukraine and become an independent and sovereign country. I’ve been sitting here for ages trying to rack my solitary brain cell but I’m afraid I’m coming up empty on this one. I did think of these countries though but I then remembered something, here’s some of those countries I’ve already thought about. 😛

USA…already independent
India…already independent
Pakistan…already independent
Australia… already independent
New Zealand… already independent
Kenya…already independent
South Africa… already independent
Eire… already independent

Surely there is at least ONE country out there that wants to be independent and sovereign, I mean it must have something going for it if Mr Cameron is pushing for Ukraine to become independent and sovereign, mustn’t it? 😉

Peter Macbeastie

Jamie Arriere; apparently the article they’re all wittering on about was published in GQ about four months ago. For ‘some’ reason it was deemed a good time to break that wee out of context pile of shite on a day where Eck was giving a major speech in Bruges.

Now the attacks have shifted onto another quote from the same article in which, according to the front page of the Metro, Eck brands Scotland a nation of drunks. That one is a classic example of what gets highlighted here all the time; what is said in the body of the article isn’t really the same as what the headline screams.

It is, in one way, completely gratifying to see them attacking Eck. It effectively confirms what we all know; they are attacking him because they do not dare admit that they can’t attack the policies without looking like they’re indulging in their usual crass negativity. The latest BT poster campaign says it all. So negative it should be in black and white.

And of course, another gratifying point is that they’re attacking him on pathetic lines like these. Because without doubt his enemies have been digging through everything trying to find something serious to slap him with. They haven’t found anything, because they would be using it by now if they had.

The Empire says yes to Ukraine independence and no to Scottish independence and their Lords say stuff like this that Pacific Quay no like.

Giving Goose

If I were the First Minister, I would be extremely guarded to whom I give interviews to and what I say. Any small chance that something said could be turned against Scotland will be taken by the MSM, they care nothing about balance or truth. Alex Salmond requires to be just that little bit more clever than those who would conspire against Scotland.

When he is considering an interview he just needs to think several steps ahead. It’s a game of chess.

Any interviewer who has either worked for the BBC, has connections to the Labour/Lib Dem/Tory party, or is deemed ambitious needs be treated with the utmost caution.

Just ask a question of them; would they accept praise or plaudits from the British Establishment? If the answer is Yes, then avoid like the plague.

Red Squirrel

Given we haven’t exactly heard a resounding ‘don’t go’ from these independent countries, could it just be that the empire has less friends than it thought? Every time I see BT, for some reason I hear the Darth Vader theme tune in my head…

Saw my very first UKOK car sticker this morning – laughed so much at the appropriateness of it 🙂

OT but here’s the reply I got from the Electoral Commission about the CBI’s carry-on.

Dear Mr xxxxxxxx

Thank you for your email dated 01 May 2014.

As you may be aware, the Commission yesterday removed the CBI from our register because the CBI did not ensure that the person who signed their application was authorised to do so. You can read our full statement explaining the reasons for our decision at:

link to electoralcommission.org.uk

While we may have removed the CBI from the register, the rules on campaigning at the referendum have not changed.

We will be meeting with the CBI shortly to make sure they understand the campaigning rules at this referendum. We will monitor their activities during the referendum period as part of the monitoring work that we always do ahead of any election or referendum.

Yours sincerely

Salmond merely echoed what Farage said about Putin. Clegg decided to use the same tactic on Farage and he failed spectacularly. Putin has outwitted the EU in its own expansionist empire building. The EU the US and Nato made a promise to Russia not to expand eastward. They are breaking that promise.

The MSM and establishment are quick to misquote and to draw conclusions from what was not remotely inferred.

However, I find it odd that Putin becomes the despot. Cleggers and Cameron quite happy to share platforms at the G8 with the man.Much in the same way the EU was quite happy to do business with Ukraine’s ousted president until he said “No” to them.

Illy

“The Empire says yes to Ukraine independence and no to Scottish independence and their Lords say stuff like this that Pacific Quay no like.”

Well of course they do, Ukraine isn’t in their empire, is it?

Jamie Arriere

Peter,

I was under the impression that it was conducted while the Paralympics were on (mid-March) but that it didn’t appear in the magazine until the May issue.

But you’re right to say it was an absolute stitch-up, and I’ve yet to see the entire article with his comments in context, so we can judge the tone of the interview, most of which I understand isn’t deadly serious.

I expect there’ll be unionist utterances in the coming weeks which will dwarf this for controversy and stupidity.

Inbhir Anainn

Isn’t Scotland and Russia linked via Patron Saint?

bunter

Just had a Patrick Harvie and Ja Baillie photo on my time line launching the whisky for the referendum, one bottle had YES and one NO.

Couldn’t help but comment to Patrick that by the time the photo reaches the newspapers, he will be holding the NO bottle! LOL

This whole Salmond – Putin stuff is mind numbingly stupid.

Anyone falling for this sh1te had no intention of ever voting Yes to Scotland running its own affairs.

Murray McCallum

If Putin and Russia are such pariah’s why does BP own 19.75 of Rosneft’s registered share capital? The Russian government holds a “golden share” in Rosneft.

BP’s financial success is increasingly linked to Russia.

The talk of sanctions by Billy Fizz and the UK government are a bit of a joke. They seem to target a few individuals but not enough to cause a flight of Russian property investment out of London, thereby damaging the property price increases that underpin the UK’s current recovery.

Like much of UK foreign policy it’s all talk and no substance.

Thanks for the link Jamie.

Mr Mundell said: “I have completed a programme of visits to all Scottish local authorities and believe that transferring this power to the Scottish government is the correct thing to do.

I have three questions for Mundell the Blundell. WHY?

1) Why did you have to visit all of the Scottish local authorities BEFORE deciding that lifting the cap was the right thing to you absolute dunce?

2) When will the cap actually be lifted?

3) What will it cost the Scottish Government? In other words what powers are you taking BACK to Westminster in return for us having the power to totally mitigate your gawd awful bedroom tax?

All good questions for a disgraceful coalition government. Pity the Labour lot are limbering up in the wings hoping that it’s their turn next to run the UK.

What a cheek Mr Mundell you put thousands of Scots into poverty and expect the, good samaritan SG, to pick up the tag. Now you plan to cut our pocket money (Barnett) by £4b into the bargain. That’s what you call the real deal.

We must vote YES.

BigRik

I have just been on the bbc scotland news site, under, from other local news sites there is a ;story; about independence… turn out to be a letter, un-named…When did letters to a small local paper become mainstream news??? No prizes for guessing which side it is on.

Andy-B

Typical of Westminster to say one thing, and do another, by trying to curry favour around the world, to thwart independence.

Jack Straw has stuck his head out above the parapet, and denounced Alex Salmond and independence, the story is in the paper version of the ultra unionist and London owned Daily Record, no link I’m afraid.

VNB was set by *ahem* professionals, apparently. So surely they knew that with a topic such as Scottish independence and the *ahem* high profile launch it received thanks to the BBC there were bound to be a few YES supporters who had some *ahem* interesting questions and comments to make about staying in this broken union.

Where are we to go now?

Let’s face it no one with a question about staying in the broken union will get very far with Better Together so this was the obvious site for questions to be asked, important questions like what type of grass were they using for their grass roots campaign, should the borders be removed to a galaxy far far away or just off the coast of the Isle of Man or even further afield. I mean these are extremely important questions and we wanted answers. 😛

Re the NHS longterm end of life care issue, this needs to be handled with care at the next FMQ, but my feeling is that outwith Scotland the funding is in effect lining the pockets of Private Nursing Home companies, and given what’s been revealed about their standards of care recently, maybe it’s not a bad thing that they won’t be allowed to do this in Scotland.

Reading the article it seems, as usual, Labour are incapable of a level of basic comprehension. At no point does Alex Neil say people will not be give care in their own homes. What he does say is that the NHS will not fund care home placings for people who are there due to medical need. Given the limitations of the NHS budget and my own experience of the private home my father in law was placed in that move is easily justified on both cost and level of care grounds. For the self same reason it’s actually cheaper to care for someone in their own home than in an institution.
Pouring money down a drain, or into private pockets, for a poorer level of care makes absolutely no sense.
