Waiting for Nicola

Posted on May 04, 2015 by

Taken in Greenock earlier, prior to the First Minister’s visit.

flegs

It seems an appropriate image for today.

Especially as the man in the middle of the pic is this charmer:

“A NEO-Nazi thug is facing jail for threatening a terrified couple with a hand gun and vowing to bomb them out of their home.

Evil John Montgomery waged a terror campaign against John and Helen McLachlan after finding their phone number in a handbook for the Scottish Socialist Party.

He was acting as part of a campaign against Socialist party members by white supremacist terror group Combat 18.

The 20-year-old called the couple in the middle of the night at their home in Greenock, and snarled: “I’ve got a Browning pistol and I’m going to shoot you. Don’t look out of the window – I’m going to throw a petrol bomb through it.”

Last night, Helen McLachlan said: “I was frightened out of my wits. How would Montgomery like it if someone to put his mother through an ordeal like that?”

Montgomery, from Greenock, appeared at Greenock Sheriff Court last week and admitted calling the McLachlans repeatedly at their home in April last year.

The court heard how he swore at them, said he had a gun and threatened to petrol bomb their house.

Two days later, he was caught in possession of Combat 18 literature “intended to stir up racial hatred”.

Then in July last year, the Neo-Nazi thug was again caught trying to distribute Combat 18 material. He admitted the charges against him and was told he was facing jail for his terror campaign.

Sheriff John Herald told the Neo-Nazi thug: “These are very serious charges. Let’s be quite clear that all options, including detention, are being kept wide open.”

Last night, Helen, 53, told the Sunday Mirror: “It was a fright, at the time. He’d been calling our home for weeks, but my husband didn’t tell me. Then one night I came downstairs to get a drink of water and he called.

“He must have called ten times that night – right up until 6am.

“When I picked up the phone, he said ‘I’m Combat 18’.”

“I said ‘What?’ because I didn’t know what he was talking about.

“He said: ‘If you look out of your window, you’re going to get a petrol bomb through it’.”

Then said: “I’ve got a Browning and you’re going to get shot.”

Terrified, Helen and John, 54, fled their home in panic. But last night Helen said: “When I saw Montgomery in court, to me he was just a silly wee boy.”

Combat 18 has been linked to a string of racially motivated attacks throughout the UK.

Montgomery admitted repeatedly phoning a Cardross Crescent home between 15 and 19 April last year, swearing at the couple, telling them he had a hand gun and threatening to petrol bomb the house. He will be sentenced on July 4 for the offences.”

Now that’s what we’d call properly nasty nationalist intimidation. We’re sure it’ll get just as much press coverage tomorrow as some dafty shouting at Jim Murphy a bit.

So glad someone got a picture of that lassie! I was on “crowd control” there, and was a bit anxious about those two. Luckily, we outnumbered them about 500-1!

Surely, they were just cheerleaders, maybe not.

Ross Son Of Peter

Totally love this pic, the passion of Scotland runs deep In this girl,

What the hell is going on far left of frame? MI5?

Another Nicola Sturgeon in the making 🙂 If so, we are blessed.

“Chaotic scenes as vile cyberchild disrupts peaceful union flagwaving”. Special report by on-the-spot, balanced journalist James Cook.

“hyperbolic”, Stu? You’re too kind.

steven kerr

There was 2 in Helensburgh aswell. Trying to hand out pro tory or pro ukip pamphlets. They had purple and blue regalia

Craig

Well done that wee Lassie

Jim Stirling

I can just see the headline “rampant Nat terrorises innocent unionists”

Today

Nationalists the world over try and conflate the party with the state. The SNP are no different.

Nationalism is a petty argument.

Anyway, their rags match their brains – backwards and upside doon.

To that wee lassie: ((((( GAUN YERSEL HEN )))))

BuckieBraes

To be fair, they are maybe just harmless, democratic supporters of the ‘most successful political union ever’, which is the ‘envy of the world’, and able to articulate their support in a compelling manner.

[Nah, me neither!]

HandandShrimp

Cracking photo. We had a couple Union flag guys too at Largs but only got a glimpse of the flag…might have been the same guys for all I know. They didn’t bother anyone. We had a street full of people. It was absolutely mobbed.

No secret venues for Nicola. 🙂

Deontas

Oh deary deary me just look at the two of them.

Imagine the planning of that? they two all weekend thinking up that plan haha

I mean seriuosly just look at the two of them………all thats missing is Jim Murphy to roll up with his bowler hat and Rrrangers top on and ask them two to vote “fur ma party” remember Jim has no shame he will be in the new Celtic top tomorrow on another street corner.

the flag flies highest

Caption no 1

“my flag’s much higher than your flag”

Stu

Union flag socks, union flag shorts and union flag and they call us nationalists!

Good ol’ Brit Nats.

The one in the middle has Union Jack socks too. Wow.

“Swami Backverandah”, thanks for that, I just about coughed my supper up.

And well done to the young lady for showing those two ignorant twats true scottish patriotism.

And the future looks a damn sight brighter than the past.

Time to turn the page on the old politics.

@ Suzanne K 6:26pm – Totally agree. C’mon Banksey or National front page.

@ The Tree of Liberty 6:40pm – Funny you should say that, the more I looked at it the more I got emulsional. I popped off a Tweet to her Mum with a thanks.

Dr Jim

Have Rangers Football Club been asked if they condone this kind of behaviour from it’s supporters

The nation needs to know now and a full enquiry instituted without delay
Questions must be asked of Unionist parties as to why they have refused to comment on why the guy in the middle looks like he’s wearing a skirt
Is this connected to Eddie Izzards protest at men wearing trousers or indeed a Kilt

Good on the wee lass…

ronald russell

At least the wee girl can hold her flag higher, if the other 2 tried it we would never see their faces. No luck eh?

Dr Ew

That wee girl is a blood and soil aggressive nationalist if ever I saw one. Until her sort are cleared from the streets how can any mild-mannered Britisher feel safe?

jim watson

Just heard on the unofficial grapevine that the labour council tried to stop the FM’s helicopter landing in Greenock earlier. Petty nonsense from a party in it’s death throes…

If it was good enough for the silverware to be given to Morton for winning the league then there should have been no problem with the FM landing there…

As for the unionist boys above, I am sure they will be so proud to have been bested by a 10 year old girl, they will be fundilymundily upset by it all…

BuckieBraes

The picture is even more effective when cropped slightly and changed to black and white. It makes for a photojournalism classic.

Revelations of sinister goings on from Union sponsored flag waving flapheads is to be expected..

But what’ll be the headlines in the morn… You guessed it … Imminent collapse of common decency spurred on by extremely dangerous pro SNP….

JGedd

Over on Alex Thompson’s blog he talks of being at today’s shindig in St Enoch Square and spoke to what he called the “key disrupters”. These are some of his comments:

“They described themselves as “socialist”, “class activist”, “people of Glasgow”, “Marxist” and “nearly Marxist”.

“None used the word “nationalist” until I asked about that. Then all said they were not members of the SNP – but all said they would vote SNP on Thursday.”

“And that is a problem for the SNP. The disrupters said they would vote SNP, ergo they are SNP supporters (whatever else they may be).”

“Of course every mass movement attracts its ugly fringe and the party cannot be expected to police those outwith its membership.”

Then he goes on to say something outrageous.

“But maybe it’s about time it got its supporters to these events and made some attempt to police an anti-democratic fringe who are – they tell me – also its supporters come Thursday.”

So the SNP is to be held responsible even if no SNP members are present. This would leave them wide open to the attentions of agents provocateurs. What an absurd assertion.
Just the usual media hack then, Alex Thompson.

CameronB Brodie

Haven’t started reading the comments but I think that shot deserves international exposure. Poignant? The entire indy debate in one image. Deference to traditional myths and nationalist extremism, verses the hope for fairer life opportunities for future generations?

DerekM

haha totally brilliant ,their faces are a picture ,take a good look onions there is the future ,a wee lassie not scared off your nonsense,suddenly the future looks bright 🙂

Swami Backverandah

Apparently one of the chaps is a bit of a neo-nazi.
And there was me thinking they were probably a couple of civil servants.

Truth

If I recall correctly, the 18 is a reference to Adolf Hitler’s initials and their position in the alphabet. ie A=1 and H=8.

I doubt the media will spend much time actually explaining how it’s many of the unionists that are the true Nazis.

Ronnie

I believe that Banksy already did something similar…

Anybody else recall a drawing of a wee mouse wi’ a Saltire and a feart quine wi’ a UJ school case?

I saved it somewhere, but can’t find it now.

It was obviously modified from the original, which featured the two characters, but without the national insignias.

Capella

@ JGedd quoting Alex Thompson:

“None used the word “nationalist” until I asked about that. Then all said they were not members of the SNP – but all said they would vote SNP on Thursday.”

“And that is a problem for the SNP. The disrupters said they would vote SNP, ergo they are SNP supporters (whatever else they may be).”

That is outrageous! It’s a SECRET BALLOT. He has no idea how these people will vote o Thursday. Deary me, the standard of journalism is really dire. But we already knew that.

I spy Anne Begg’s bestest Naw buddy on the left side of that NF pic.

Great photograph. Will James Cook be using it as his desktop background?

45 & Counting

With the UK media focusing all it’s attention and faux outrage over something that didn’t actually happen in Glasgow and the naming of a woman’s baby in London it was the perfect day for some to bury bad news:

Straw and Rifkind suspended over ‘cash for access’ claims.

Never mind though, it’s not like this sort of thing is important to our democracy or anything.

And the twerp in question got off with 250 hours community service – despite the fact that he had ‘previous’ for possession of racist literature. This link also has an intruiging reference to some of his other ‘activities’:

I believe the guy on the left has a Rangers top on.
I hate to stereotype Rangers fans (after all Govan was probably the SNP’s strongest part of Glasgow for a long time) but you really have to wonder about people who’s political position is apparently determined by their football preference. What a clown.

An Iconic photograph which deserves to be seen more widely but given the nutcases, like the two arseholes with the Union flags it can’t be, at least for now.

“Their flags are the wrong way up”.Their flags need to be folded up. Their game is up.

A wee lassie holding aloft a small flag of her nation alongside two adults holding oversized Butcher’s aprons of an undemocratic Establishment.

I feel a bit sorry for these two. They aren’t Establishment, or bankers, or landed gentry. They are simply pawns in the Establishment game.

Every reason to be proud of your daughter Stephanie, we are too.

Know whats really funny… Most of these unionist/right wing/confused rangers fans and torys, are probably on a giro or have friends, family or loved ones who have been brutally (or even slightly) affected by sanctions, the nab, job fare and forced labour etc etc and still run about up the arse of an establishment who hates (but uses them) and doest give one single solitary f@@k about them.

Beautiful.

Was driving back up the A90 today and there were a few signs about, mostly SNP.

There were some blue ones, was it Derek Wann? I won’t bother, too obvious….

Anyway, there were other ones urging ‘unionists to unite’ FFS.

Anyway on the Wann signs (and other assume tory ones) there seemed to be no evidence of political affiliation at all.

I slowed down and peered at one of the signs, and lo – in the corner, as tiny as could be ‘the Scottish conservative and unionist party’.

They are fucking ASHAMED to advertise their allegiances. Same with labour and the lib dems. Tells you all you need to know.

As for St. Enoch debacle, Eddy Izzard – for fuck sake ‘I ran with a Saltire’. You fucking martyr eh. Fuck off.

Quislings, shills, hollow men – lend me your ears! GTF

Big Jock

I presume everyone has worked out Murphy’s strategy. He knows they can only hold a few seats. He wants to keep his own and to hell with the rest.

He knows hardline unionist Tories are propping him up,as another unionist in East Ren. So he is appealing to hard line ultra right wing people, by showing nationalists allegedly attacking him. He needs as many nutters to switch to Labour as possible. That’s the reason for the big smile. His plan worked, and he had a willing BBC to do his job for him!

The guy is a narcasist and turning into a sociopath. Politics, is not about politics anymore for Jim. Its a big game of one upmanship ,deceipt and lies. This guy has no superego. He has no moral compass. Truth be told he probably never did.

Nicola sturgeon was asked about the economic feasibility of FFA on the debate last night.

When asked about the IFS report she said “let’s let the people decide”
Because ‘the people’ know way more about economics than the IFS…

What an amazing photo, the saltire being physically smaller but symbolically much larger. The wee lassie has a look of determination which projects hope. The unionist with the dark hair looks confused, I hope he is challenging his beliefs tonight. The elite unionists rely on these followers, while simultaneously sneering at them, very sad.

Mr McTernan celebrating today was heard to say “Great result from Glasgow today, we are winning”

Alas, he means Murphy will win his seat, not Labour will win in Scotland.

I fear he’s correct. The more a politician gains media exposure the more his constituents mistakenly assume he’s a man of influence and power.

Slightly off topic but still related…

Due to all the media antics and bias reporting of the last few weeks/years, especially in relation to Scotland/SNP/politics and all else, I think it should be worth noting the recent mass inboxing of SNP mps/local reps in regards to TTIP by the huge number of those opposed to it, it may be worth a mass orchestrated event in which all supporters of devolved media, broadcasting and regulated reporting in Scotland do the same thing requesting this is a ‘red line’ should SNP prop labour up in the event of a hung parliament (vote by vote, or any other form of support).

Further to this,, I think this should be a demand from the Scottish people in any case. If The SNP is truly the voice of the Scottish People (wether in westminster or Holyrood) then this is something they could not ignore and work toward securing, enough is enough. It worked for TTIP why not devolved broadcasting and media!

Are you referring to the deficit inflicted on Scotland if it remains in the bust UK with its deficit over ten times Scotland’s and a national debt of £1,500,000,000,000.

Away and see if you can brush up your knowledge of economics because you obviously know feck-all about it at the moment.
Here’s a starter. A deficit is not a debt.
Here’s another. Why would we want to be independent to run the economy the way it is mismanaged at the moment?

Yes the two brain dead morons just don’t know how to react. Mind you how could anyone in Scotland be against their own flag the saltire.

Alas I am never going to understand the reason a Scot is against their own nation. The union flag is the flag of division in Scotland not our wonderful flag of St Andrew. The cross of unity and peace.

Four halfwits disrupt Murphy in St Enoch Square. “Scuffles”, “violent emotion” (Izard), “aggression”, Iain Martin refers to Nazi Germany, utterly predictable MSM faux outrage.

“This is not the sort of Scotland we want” (Smurph, BBC). Right on, Jim. And the rUK is a blessed example of non-aggression, public order, the right to peaceful protest and domestic tranquillity:-

1981 – Brixton and Toxteth riots
1985 – Broadwater Farm riots, London (police officer killed)
1990 – Poll Tax riots, Central London. Mass morning demonstration turns into “violent confrontation” with police, substantial property damage, “violence and looting until 3am” (Wiki)
2011 – 6-11 August, riots, violence, battles with police, millions of pounds worth of property damage in : London, Bristol, Greater Manchester, Birmingham and elsewhere in Midlands

All good stuff for the tolerant, civilising character of the Union?….

Come on man, that’s harsh! We need to hear all sides of the story, and I do believe that Ed looked much more relaxed, friendly, and natural than he does when stuck on stage in front of baying crowds of hardened, often drunken (and occasionally crazed) cynics.

He’s found his forte – speaking candidly to an audience consisting primarily of teenaged lassies. They should be able to ask him anything, and in his avuncular way, as a man of the world, he can allay their fears about the nastiness surrounding them (especially when it comes to dealing with really really really annoying brothers!).

So, I say – Hell, yeah! Go Ed!

Jamie Arriere

Just saw a retweet from Pat Kane that a young Yorkshire lass living in Scotland, was attacked by skinheads (poss NF) while canvassing for the SNP. It seems she spent most of the day in hospital, needed stitches, and is a bit shaken up.

Not the best end to the day, eh unionists?

Yoda the UK has (at least) a 90 billion bottomless pit deficit and is 1.5 (or 6) trillion in debt even although it has been supported by Scotlands very lucrative oil revenues for decades. The poor and vulnerable have been subjected to a real ‘hammering’ to no avail as no dent has been made in relation to the deficit / debt. It continues to rise. Part of the problem lies with the fact that England imports more than it exports UNLIKE Scotland.

Individuals in the UK have been brainwashed into believing the Scots are a financial liability. This included many Scots until fairly recently. Now who would want to hold onto such a Nation? ‘Wee’ Scotlands whisky accounts for 25% of the WHOLE of the UKs food and drink export. Our salmon is the top UK food export (to name but a FEW Scottish assets).

Please enlighten yourself by visiting sites like BusinessforScotland (thousands of business people supporting Independence) and Bella Caledonia.

The wool won’t be pulled over our eyes anymore. The days of manipulative, biased Media is numbered. Youngsters like the child in the photograph, like all youngsters in my family, are being ‘politically educated’. You’ll have to play catchup.

Still Positive.

Rev you should package up all of the issues highlighted on your site such as the photograph of Montgomery and MacDonald and their ‘history’, that of the girl attacked today and the SNP activist (woman on her own) who had to lock herself in her office last week when a gang of Orange Order hanger-on thugs tried to attack her. Then send it off to all Media outlets and see who, if anyone, will publish it. If they don’t you’ll have a list, at least, of those who didn’t.

We know what’s going on with Murphy right now. He’s cottoned on to what Labour policies (ideology) should entail so has tried to con the people who have no idea he voted for tuition fees, continuation of austerity measures and so on. They don’t know he claimed £196,000 last year in expenses, 2 million since 1991, anything about the fraudulent fiasco with his property in London or that he’s Vice President of the UK branch of the U.S. Henry Jackson Society. Nor do they know that while he bleats on about zero hour contracts (exploitative now to cover his back) Labour controlled Glasgow City Council, for one, have over 2000 ZHC employees on their books.

He’s tried all that but it’s not working hence the Referendum, Referendum to the power of ten technique to encourage the Tories to vote for him and his ilk (but especially him), the Gordon Brown (robbed the pension pots to the tune off billions) strategy to scare the shot out of the pensioners and the fitba talk to attract the fans ????

He’s now moved into the REAL Murphy the Manipulator mode. The shouty narcissist who wants to repress Freedom of Speech for everyone other than himself (strains of the allegations made against him in the Commons). A set up today? Wouldn’t surprise me as this is his final throw of the dice and helped of course by his cronies at the BBC / Media. Alistair Darlings pal, JKR, has also appeared on the scene now. Who’s to know if it’s SNP supporters targeting her or not? Could be Montgomery / MacDonald types (or even MI5 types ????). I’d hoped we would have heard from her when her pals at the Daily Record / Gordon Browns vow went belly up, but no. Very disappointing.

Three days to go. Wonder what they’ll come up with next?

Thepnr

Freedom of speech is being able to say:

“Rev that article was a load of shite!”

As noted in the article linked, one should be skeptical of any account these folk give of any alleged disturbance.

Also, there has been a report that Russell Brand’s appeal for voters in England ,has had his Scottish comment removed( he said Scots can choose for themselves )by the BBC.

The truth, which seems to have eluded you is quite another thing again.

See, Yoda, the reality is that yer figures are mince.

Facts are that while England imports much more than she exports the resultant balance is that England is like a household that has a slate in the local store and has charged more than they have money to pay the bill.

Scotland, on the other hand exports more than she imports and has cash to spare.

The thing that has fooled you is the accountancy of the Establishment you support so blindly is just a wee bit, “creative”.

John H.

Sorry, I don’t listen to Kay – E

Any undecided voters who come to this site might like to ponder this.

David Cameron has said that if the Cons. get more seats than Labour, but Labour takes power because of SNP support, then that government would be illegitimate. The other two main unionist parties have refused to work with the SNP.

So apparently SNP MP’s, who seem likely to form a majority of Scottish MP’s, are to be frozen out. This means that the main choice of party of the Scottish people will not be recognised at Westminster.

If on the other hand Labour manages to hold onto a few seats in Scotland, then presumably those Labour MP’s will be “legitimate”,and Ed Miliband will welcome their support.

This situation would be unsustainable. Scotland is either a part of the union or it is not. We may see a second referendum forced on us, whether we like it or not.

@john king 7.44

The message ain’t for us John, its for their own support. I suppose they reckon that fear of a second referendum will get them out of their beds on May 7. 😀

Their problem? Well their problem is threefold.

Firstly the support they managed on September 18th past is dwindling. People made fearful of change or who were independence not yet have had seven months to watch how Westminster managed the aftermath and an increasing number of those voters are unhappy at how that period has been handled. They’ve watched their hopes for better togetherness go up in smoke as the press and establishment parties have not only continued but ramped up the Scotophobic narrative.

Secondly Westminster’s approach to legislation has become increasingly right wing and austerity oriented. If they had a hard sell during the referendum, the parties have a near impossible sell within Scotland at this point as their support for austerity legislation is well known to all by this point. The people know that regardless of red or blue sitting in the big chair yet more is coming and all with the willing aid of Santas little helpers the Libdems.

As a third point there is the work of progressive politics through the internet and social media. A still engaged and eager for change electorate are working together to keep each other informed and motivated. The establishment’s scare stories and cunning ploys are analysed and debunked almost before they hit press or screen. In other words their media control is on the drop.

So IMO there we have it. Their one hope is a last ditch attempt to rally what was their referendum support in the hopes they can salvage some seats.

If they keep going on about a 2nd referendum, surely that indicates that westminster will allow another one…

BBC reporting that a man with a Scottish accent shouted, “Mon the SNP” at David Cameron in London. The English capital is now in total lock down.

Such aggressive nationalism has no place in a democracy.

Ed Miliband is promising that Scottish accents will be banned, and has carved this pledge in stone.

Today is L Day.

Given Thursday is Election Day, when traditionally the msm puts their: “We Suggest You vote X, Y or Z” story as their front page “splash”; tomorrow is their final chance to come up with the big lie which will (hopefully for them) de-rail the SNP Express.

So, today, on editorial floors from London to Anderston Quay, their best brains will be cooking-up that big lie.

I wonder what they will come up with.

Dave McEwan Hill

Yesterday Jim Murphy accompanied by a English chap in skirt, high heels and lipstick and around 35 supporters gathered in St Enoch Square in Glasgow and Mr Murphy started shouting.
There appeared to be mainly Mr Murphy’s party and some press in the very small crowd.
Several other people at the back of the crownd (who apparently had been alerted by the Labour party) started shouting back at him. Making sure the press cameras were in full operational mode some of Mr Murphy’s entourage started pushing these other people and Mr Murphy got himself into some photographs.
Sadly the major casualty of the incident is the Herald newspaper who printed on page seven under the name of reporter Magnus Gardham what is effectively a lie.
I have just purchased my last Herald.

Last night I showed the picture of the wee lass to my 78 year old neighbour.He was very moved by it.This morning He called into my house as usual for his morning cuppa,and asked if I could give him a lift to the polling station on Thursday.
He then informed me that as a lifelong Labour voter he was going to vote Labour till he saw my picture of that wee lassie. It troubled him
He is now voting SNP,with the rationale that the future belongs to her and many like her who are willing to stand up and be counted for something they believe in.
Today I am proud of her youthful courage ,and how it inspired a member of the older generation to think there is something better.
You young lady dispel fear and give courage to others.Well done.

With Brent barrel price heading back up, nearly $70 a barrel now, Referendum 2 should be an interesting challenge for Britnats. $1.5 trillion Scots oil worthless though, so they wont giving devolving control of Scottish oil industry to Holyrood, to save us from all that hassle?

Who knows, maybe future First Minister James T Morphy can then give the Scottish oil industry back to the UK, like a loyal Britnat should.

Apparently Jim is back in Glasgow today. No doubt hoping to start a riot.

I hope to goodness people will just ignore him.

Simon Jenkins says

“The fate of two unions – with Scotland and with Europe – will be the towering concerns of the new parliament. Scotland can be simply disposed. The Scots appear fed up with the English, and the English with the Scots. No amount of subsidy, economic scaremongering or fake emotion can overcome this message from north of the border.”

After all the obscenity and malice dripping from the Guardian at SNP candidates and voters, you have to wonder what their usual creepy reaction would be if say SNP were actually tartan Tories or at least red Tory boys like creepy Murphy?

If only the UKOK freak show could get their teamGB for ever and ever story straight.

Dear Yoda, this £7.6b that you’re bleating on about works out at about £1440 per Scottish resident.(this in our worst year ever apparently, thanks for that, union, good going)

On the other hand, the average UK debt over the past 5 years works out at well over £1900 per UK resident per year.

Scotland may have a deficit, but it would’ve been a much smaller deficit if we’d had indy or ffa. Instead we’re paying off rUKs much higher debts. You sucker.

Shame on you for trying to sell this sorry state of affairs as somehow advantageous for the Scottish people, it is nothing but a massive fraud.

Gordon Federal Brown! If the media did their job they would remind him of his words and ask him how he thinks things are progressing …

It’s got to the stage that Jim Murphy can have someone just look at him and the coordinated unionist media start screaming its Cybernat Armageddon.

Is this the future we want for our kids. A very sad state of affairs.

Capella

It is obvious isn’t it that the “riot” event was a set-up. Eddy Izzard must be an extremely busy man campaigning down in London where he wants to stand as mayor soon. Yet he schedules a street event in Glasgow with Jim Murphy. The press are there in force.

Labour then phone up Sean Clerkin to ensure a protest occurs.

This enables radio, TV and press to shout about anti-democratic nationalists denying free speech. Smear and innuendo are used to implicate Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP even though the press know that they had nothing to do with it.

“Nicola Sturgeon was today forced to deny that one of her spin doctors helped a group of separatists to target Eddie Izzard and Jim Murphy with abuse and intimidation at Labour campaign event in Glasgow.
Mr Izzard appealed to Ms Sturgeon to disown the dark side of Scottish nationalism after Labour handlers managed to extract him from a scrum of Labour and nationalist activists that threatened to become violent.”

If the so-called ‘violent’ perpetrator was notified of the Murphy venue and encouraged to attend by a member of Murphys entourage then this was clearly a setup.

If the BBC is aware of this and reporting as they have been then they are once again meddling in a democratic process by attempting to influence voting.

Could they be reported to the United Nations? If not who can we complain to?

The following is a copy of the Celtic Leagues letter of complaint to the United Nations referring to ‘manipulation and interference’ designed to influence the outcome of the Referendum:

The general secretary of the Celtic League has written to the new United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, expressing his concern over breaches to an international covenant during the run up to the Scottish referendum on Thursday 18th September 2014.

In his letter, Rhisiart Tal-e-bot, stated that he would like to make a formal complaint to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on behalf of the Celtic League – an NGO with roster consultative status with the United Nations – about the manipulation and interference of United Kingdom State parties in the referendum campaign. In the letter the general secretary referred to several “well documented” complaints, which were: “obviously designed to ‘manipulate or influence’ the outcome – a clear violation of the HRC guidance.

The full text of the letter is set out below:

“United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein

25/09/14

Dear United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein

Complaint:
UK in Breach of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) regarding Scottish Referendum (Friday 18th September 2014)

I am writing to express my concern about clear breaches by the UK Parliament of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), in relation to the Scottish referendum for independence.

As you will be aware the UK has signed and ratified the ICCPR, compelling it to agree to uphold the Covenant. However, in a number of instances leading up to the Scottish referendum, UK State parties seemed to renegade on the terms of the Covenant, in relation to the accepted procedure of how referenda campaigns should be carried out.

We would like to draw your attention to Article 25 of the ICCPR and section 19 in particular, of the Human Rights Committee, General Comment 25 (57), General Comments under article 40, paragraph 4, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, adopted by the Committee at its 1510th meeting, U.N. Doc. CCPR/C/21/Rev.1/Add.7 (1996). I have copied below the relevant section 19 in General Comment 25 (57) mentioned above for your convenience:

In conformity with paragraph (b), elections must be conducted fairly and freely on a periodic basis within a framework of laws guaranteeing the effective exercise of voting rights. Persons entitled to vote must be free to vote for any candidate for election and for or against any proposal submitted to referendum or plebiscite, and free to support or to oppose government, without undue influence or coercion of any kind which may distort or inhibit the free expression of the elector’s will. Voters should be able to form opinions independently, free of violence or threat of violence, compulsion, inducement or manipulative interference of any kind. Reasonable limitations on campaign expenditure may be justified where this is necessary to ensure that the free choice of voters is not undermined or the democratic process distorted by the disproportionate expenditure on behalf of any candidate or party. The results of genuine elections should be respected and implemented.

In relation to section 19 in particular, there are a number of instances where State parties actively sought to manipulate and interfere with the freedom of voters to express their choice fairly under the democratic process. Specifically, and most significantly, these actions include:

1) The UK Government (although having stated the decision was for the Scottish people) solicited foreign governments and senior officials of International bodies such as NATO and the EU to attempt to influence the process.

2) UK State parties actively solicited businesses that is Supermarkets and banks to influence the process.

3) Three UK political parties outlined additional powers (‘The Vow’) to voters after the electoral process had started that is after postal ballots had been cast.

All these steps taken by the UK government and the three political parties were obviously designed to ‘manipulate or influence’ the outcome – a clear violation of the HRC guidance.

These matters are well documented and on the public record. In our view these issues form the basis of a potential complaint and that is what I would like to do on behalf of the Celtic League as a registered NGO with Roster consultative status with the United Nations.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Too bad that the BBC / MSM are not willing to circulate the views of people like Professor Steve Keen from Kingston University. This is the economist, one of the few who predicted the Great Recession, basically telling them that the SNP have got it right in relation to ‘austerity measures’ and people like Cameron, Miliband and Murphy have got it wrong.

@petra
Yep keen predicted the recession. It’s quite frightening that the economists in the treasury have little understanding of the role of banks and money in the economy. I know for a fact that some people in the labour and tory party do but they are in the minority and the parties themselves are beholden to the city of London.

Re: Clandonald

“Scotland may have a deficit, but it would’ve been a much smaller deficit if we’d had indy or ffa.”

How does Indy or FFA reduce our public expenditure? Do we spend less on people because we have full monetary control? There’s no pot of gold here. We spend MORE than we generate in taxes. That’s what every major fiscal body tells us.

So the IFS & OBR (as well as GERS, which the Scottish Government produce) declare that under FFA Scotland would have a £7.6bn black hole, they are all wrong?

One more thing – the £7.6bn black hole has nothing to do with our budget deficit of £14.2bn.

Seriously? You expect us to believe Scotland has a deficit of nearly £22b? Over 20% of UK deficit with 8.3% of population? Even though we all know we have, per head, contributed more than the rest of the UK every single year for the last Three and a half decades.

You really do think we’re buttoned up the back.
