Odds and Ends Wednesday 5th October 2022

Is it any wonder – So someone who attended the Dunfermline becoming a city celebration were a bit embarrassed that First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was booed, “I AM writing to say how utterly disgusted I was to attend the city inauguration visit by King Charles today and hear some of the crowd booing our First Minister”. “The First Minister has shown respect at all times to the royal family”. Maybe it was the bow that would have made Theresa May proud, maybe it was the crap governance we have endured for years now, maybe they were unionists, or maybe they are just sick of the low level of politicians we have now, Sturgeon being one of them. I wouldn’t imagine it was Sturgeon’s alleged support for independence as I just don’t believe that Dunfermline is all that yes and Sturgeon has done nothing anyway in support of independence.

Like the Tories, and I mean like the Tories – It appears the shine has come off the British Scottish National Royalist and Unionist Party (SNP for short) according to Kevin McKenna since Covid. ” In those three years, this party that once revelled in its sense of unity – a come-one-come-all family atmosphere – has fractured, and grievously at that”. “In this period, former friends and close allies, people who were once lovers, even, have turned on each other; their relationships poisoned irreparably by the gender issue, those foolish, foolish men who championed the Mermaids Charity will still strut around these halls, impervious to the damage and hurt they have caused to many hard-working SNP activists”.

McKenna isn’t wrong is he, personally I don’t care that much. The British Scottish Royalist and Unionist National Party (SNP) mean very little to me and I ask them for nothing, but McKenna also knows the party strategy, even if the sheeple continue to live in denial when he says “You won’t hear much about independence in Aberdeen this weekend or about why the series of independence White Papers appear to have halted at two. Nor will much criticism be permitted about the wisdom of declaring the 2024 UK election to be an independence plebiscite. The optimism and spirit of kinship which made this all feel different and better is gone. But hey, who cares so long as there are still another couple of election triumphs in the tank? Mind those carrots folks mind those carrots.

Where do these nut jobs get this UK family pish – LIZ Truss has promised to “face down the separatists” in the United Kingdom, describing the Union as a “family”. If the UK is a family, then Westminster is an abuser, and we need protected right now, just don’t expect that protection to come from the British Scottish Royalist and Unionist National Party (SNP).

She told delegates: “This is the United Kingdom at its best, working together and getting our economy growing.

“And we will face down the separatists who threaten to pull apart our precious Union, our family.” This woman is both deluded and deranged, she has no fucking idea about anything does she. Precious Union, bloody hell she really is Golem, she even plans on taking us to an even more undemocratic Police State when she rants that she plans to “face down the separatists” comes after she said that indyref2 should not happen even if the Supreme Court rules that Holyrood can legislate to hold one. What an asshole, but hey Scots will still bottle it even if there is a remote chance that there is some kind of vote on independence, I know lol and I haven’t even been drinking.

Between 2012 and 2019, there were almost 335,000 more deaths than expected across the UK compared with trends seen from 1981 to 2011, according to the shocking findings of a study by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health and the University of Glasgow. Tories KILL, that is basically what this means. Academics linked the excess deaths to Tory cuts in public services and welfare, saying that, without support, “people have been dragged under by decreased income, poor housing, poor nutrition, poor health and social isolation — ultimately leading to premature death.” We probably didn’t need a research project to know this, every time there is a scumbag Tory Government, they have a national cull of the poor and vulnerable. I mean they had to replace fox hunting with something, what’s better than an older person in Dundee, a drug dependent person in Glasgow, a homeless person in Liverpool, all just sport to the toilet stains in the Tory Party.

Tory ministers are reportedly planning a new wave of welfare cuts, but the researchers urged them to learn from the “devastating effects” that austerity has had on the health of the population and reverse such policies. Yeah, right and stop the cull, like shite they will.

And so, it begins – Home Secretary Suella Braverman broke with Government policy to call for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). While this may not be current scumbag Tory Policy it is on the way, you can bet your arse on that one.

“I don’t think we need to be subject to an institution born out of the post-war era which is a bit analogue in the way that it operates, which has centralised power, which is distant and which is politicised, which is pursuing an agenda which is at odds with our politics and our values.

“I don’t think that’s the direction that the world is going in, that’s not the direction that people called for with Brexit.”

All this drip, drip, drip, removal of our rights, like the right to protest, which the SNP supported so women couldn’t protest outside Holyrood, builds up to the point where you wake up and find you have none left, and you better bet the plan is to remove the protection of the European Court of Human Rights from us. Braverman is just laying the groundwork.
