    This is a petty,stupid and very annoying decision. They are now pissing on the Scots from a great height. They have made a grave mistake. Independence inevitable? Yes,yes,yes!

    Herald’s Archie Macpherson saves teamGB again. Scotland running Scotland is now closet homosexuallity, a pet project, something something about cricket and bonnie prince charlie. Even Libby Carrell isn’t this funny.

    “The cricket lover had hit a boundary for the Nationalists who wallowed in a collusion of opportunism with the Tories, whose insensitive handling of anything Scottish only aided their cause. And it was beautifully played by Nicola Sturgeon who, during the campaign, wanted to keep the idea of independence in the closet, like the “love that dare not speak its name”. It worked.

    Try telling that to Alex Salmond, a man whose political acumen I have genuinely admired but who now sounds more and more the like the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie in Paris simply unable to accept rejection of a cause, with a “Why didn’t they understand me?” tone to his comments. He is putting pressure on Ms Sturgeon to be his Flora Macdonald and resuscitate his pet project despite the once-in-a-generation imprimatur he stamped on last September’s referendum vote.”

    I do not know. Presumably the nuttier the UKOK bettertogether defenderising you do, the more chance you have of becoming a member of the House of Lords.

    Yet another verification (as if any more were needed) of the self interested corruption at the core of the UK state system and a central plank to it’s continuation. Forget ‘Lady’ Mone, that’s just another wee poisonous cynical bite to add to all the others.

    Start supporting the antidotes to all that self serving cynicism. Our grass-roots! Show the electorate (face to face and in their own communities) that politics’ true nature is social, voluntary and engaged.

    The more that truth is experienced, the more people understand their own power and how to collaborate to maximise and focus that power, then the more damage is done to the corrupt body politic of this ‘Great’ Britain.

    The only tool they need is apathy, and the Lords, the BBC, Westminster and the City of London et al are factories of electoral apathy designed to paralyse, upset and then disengage the electorate. Their marching slogans are ‘What’s the point?’ and ‘They’re all the same!’

    Please, please, please help counter it. This is the last day (11:59pm deadline) of the National YES Registry crowd fund. Please have a look at their film, and see what you think of their grass-root proposal and then, if you can contribute great! Even sharing the link and getting the message out as widely as possible would be a massive help.

    Please check out the film and make up your own mind? It’s getting really close to the last chance to help this brilliant project, if you can. It’s currently 57% funded with only 14 hrs left. Help the grassroots guide the way to YES!, come Indyref2

    Just when you think they cant get any thicker low and behold Labour prove us wrong,i guess old lord sewage`s usefulness to the establishment must be at an end since they have flung him to the dogs in a tory boy press sting.

    the big question everybody should be asking is why now,or is this another case of a politician doing a once in a life time never did it before honest and nobody knew about it whitewash.

    Is it a threat to all the other pig swilling Labour peers tow the line or the skeletons come out the closet it would explain their behavior as they are acting like they are being bullied.

    The Lords debate on the Referendum – called by the foppish Baron Lang of Monkton and his despicable notion we owe unionism to those who died in the two European wars – was the most jaw-dropping I’ve ever heard, for its statements of pig ignorance, its inanities, its gushing, hypocritical sentimentality, but above all, for its blackmailing of the Scottish nation.

    Yes Lady Mone’s a Tory peer of the realm and gets her shots in, or rather the independent newspaper does it for her in their sleazy style of very British hypocrisy, now she’s a UKOK Lady.

    “She has previously spoken about her support for the Prime Minister during the lead-up to the Scottish independence referendum, claiming would leave Scotland after becoming the target of an “extremely vitriolic social media hate campaign“ because of her open support for the Union.”

    So much for democracy in teamGB but that’ll teach em/us.

    Great image, says it all.

    I can’t remember who but someone recently said to me, ‘and you know he’s Scottish’. Which is b*****ks. However, looking at his profile, the wiki one(!) he was quite heavily involved in Scottish matters, either from afar, or as ‘Under secretary of state for Scotland’ , 97-99. See ‘Sewel Convention’, still in place today, regards devolution and such matters etc.

    Not one for conspiracies, but could there be a connection? I mean he is by far not the only vermine in ermine to engage in such dodgy practices at the tax payers expense. It’s common among them and been going on for a long time, so why him, and why now?

    Let’s see what transpires when the troughers return from their extended summer holidays, paid for by the tax payer, thank you very much!

Whilst I am at it, only two prostitutes, how will he ever be able to look an oligarch in the face when negotiating tricky energy deals.

    Lord Sewell of Colombian Marching Powdershire is frae Banchory, a lovely little slice of the Home Counties, 10 mile from Aberdeen.

    Banchory must be so proud of their man o pairts, or should that be pairs, of hookers. Oddly enough Banchory was once a retirement village for retired and minted senior British Empire colonialists. But as that noble race of UKOK supremacists died out, Banchory nearly did too. It’s come back though, with the Great white flight from Merry olde London.

    Sewer destroyed the City centre in Aberdeen. Took down the Co opie Arcade and replaced it with the monstrosity (Co opie) John Lewis building.The Labour/Unionists councillors (Sociology lecturers at Uni) colluded and buried the McCrone Report for over thirty years. Labour/Unionists voted against the essential by-Pass road for over 30 years. Labour/Unionists have prevented the UTG predestrianisation of the City Centre. People are protesting in the street.

    Labour councillors responsible are reported to be feuding with each other. Labour in total melt down, along with the LibDems and the random Tories. The Greens are a mess. Total catastrophe.
