    SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon announces new independence referendum bill

    A consultation gets under way next week on plans for a second Scottish independence referendum, the SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed. She told the party’s Glasgow conference that an Independence Referendum Bill would be published next week. It marks the first step to holding a second vote. Ms Sturgeon said Scotland had the right to choose a different path if it was not allowed to protect its interests “within the UK”.

    ‘Nationalism’ is only ‘good’ when it’s Scottish Nationalism. God forbid the English should ever break out their St George’s Cross – these days it’s tantamount to using racist language, according to the sneering progressive elites. The Scottish Nationalists can pretty much say what they like about the English (and they do), while the BBC nods along indulgently, ever uncritical, ever unself-aware of the implicit hypocrisy and hateful self-loathing they exercise over all things English.

    Scotland wants to become ‘independent’ so it can immediately apply to join the EU’s burgeoning socialist superstate. Go figure.

      Can someone please explain why Sturgeon wants to be independent from the rest of the UK, whilst at the same time being in the EU?

      The only explanation I can find is that she simply hates the England and the English.

      Not in my name, I wish she would just shut up and get the message, Scotland is a thriving part of the UK, we want to stay that way. This is just pandering to her “braveheart rabble”

      So here we have sturgeon laying into the UK government for ignoring the wishes of the Scottish people over brexit, while at the same time she is totally ignoring the will of the Scottish people who voted decisively to remain part of the UK only a couple of years ago.

      Talk about hypocrisy.

      Sturgeon said the Scottish referendum was “once in a lifetime/generation”.

      So she seems to have redefined the terms “generation” and “lifetime” as being about 3 years then.

      The politics of the SNP are divisive and dangerous. Little more than two years ago the people of Scotland said no. And a good job too, the price of oil crashed and the country would be bankrupt. Sturgeon should shut up and accept the ‘once in a generation’ vote, not that much has changed in the last two years. Her strategy is to keep going until she gets what she wants. Just a like any bully.

        The SNP is very much like the EU. Both have only one real aim: in the case of the SNP it is Scottish “independence”, for the EU it is “ever closer union”.

        They really cannot afford to pause in their aims, because if they do, people will realise there is no need for any of it. So the SNP just cannot accept that it is the government of a devolved part of the UK, because to do that accepts the status quo, and to do that means the SNP no longer stands for anything.

        The only way this ends is for the SNP to keep holding referendums until they finally get the result they want, or for the people of Scotland to see sense and stop voting for the national socialist nutjobs. I honestly don’t know which will happen first.

    MSM is trying a spoiler trick on student over stays
    “only 1% of foreign non-EU STUDENTS overstay their visa” Times Front page
    “only 1,500/year says secret report”
    “not the tens of thousands previously claimed”
    * secret report * Means non-challenged report

    Migration Watch UK have a response

    The fact remains that there is no evidence in the International Passenger Survey for the departure of tens of thousands of foreign students. There are only two explanations for this. Either they are in fact staying on in huge numbers or the IPS on which all immigration numbers are based is seriously unreliable

    The 1% doesn’t take account of students who marry and stay.
    – My first thought is 1% is still too much, you don’t go around saying “only 1% of people in my town are murderers , so that’s OK”.

    Whitey on the Moon

    Read the blurb:

    “On July 20, 1969, man first stood on the moon; on December 18, 1972, man stood on the moon for the last time. What happened to end the dream of space exploration, left instead to the colorful imagination of Trekkies and science fiction fans believing some diverse band of humans could navigate the heavens in a utopian future?

    The US Government neutered NASA by forcing a much different mission upon the space agency: diversity and the promotion of blacks. We went to the moon. On multiple occasions. When NASA was nearly all-white, with an all-white astronaut team.

    But in 1972, the Apollo program was grounded, with the Space Shuttle program becoming a glorified experiment in social engineering and special interest group cheerleading. Each successive launch included women, blacks, and other racial minorities, not for the sake of exploration, but for the sake of gender and racial cheerleading.

    The glory of NASA and mankind’s great moments in space exploration were all milestones performed under the watchful of an almost completely white NASA, devoid of the hindrance of affirmative action programs and the shackles of Equal Employment Opportunity mandates.

    The mandate then was to get the moon; the mandate soon after was the promotion of blackness and diversity, at the expense of the initial dream of exploring the stars.

    You have to wonder (hope?) whether the same fate befalls the BBC, the once great broadcasting organisation now pursuing exactly the same agenda.

      I’m afraid it’s just another abuse of statistics. The bbc (for example) are very simplistic (simplistic to the point of ignorance) in their approach to diversity. They think that if X percent of the population is black then X percent of politicians, actors, policemen, astronauts etc, etc should be black too. Somebody needs to tell them that their Blue Peter mathematics model is not valid in the real world.

      Micheal Caine told them

      So did Charlotte Rampling

      The liberals should stop inflicting diversity upon us and wait for merit to be earned and not handed out like a food parcel.

          The Barnett Formula was a temporary measure to give, in public spending allocation, Scotland, Ireland and Wales more than England.
          On a sliding scale Northern Ireland at the top, then Scotland, then Wales, then England. Designed 36 years ago – it is still in operation. It means the public spending allocation per person in Scotland is around £1300 more than a person in England.

            Even Lord Barnett knew it was unfair, and did not expect it to last. It was an emergency measure designed to cobble together support for the Labour government when it had a majority of 2 in the House of Commons.

            The moral of the story is when you give someone extra free money, they get very cross when you try to give them no more than their fair share.

      I don’t recall the MSM going after Clinton in this fashion, when the activities in which he was involved were revealed and which so demeaned the office of POTUS.

      I read the other day that on one occasion Monica Lewinsky, performed oral sex on him in the Oval Office whilst he was on the phone to a congressman; discussing the decision to deploy troops into a war zone. How absolutely appalling! The President talking about military action which may lead to the deaths and serious injury of men, far better than he, and all whilst he is indulging his basest appetites.

      And me Dover!

      I have had to school everyone at my workplace about how easily manipulated they have been by the so-called BBC and their disgustingly biased and deplorable stance on Trump, now becoming ‘the truth about Trump’.

      There are so many things things that are wrong with Trump, but the policies the Islamic Al Beeb have continually dismissed and disrespected are not them. The man is a brilliantly successful business maverick, but I agree a poor statesman….but ask anyone about what they disagree with what Trumps saying, and it’s never about his policies, it’s about his temperament and personality… The media created alternative personality! The devious bastards in the media knew all along that the majority of the US and UK agree with what Trump is saying… So they did what the vile left always do, and that is attack, lie, mislead and deceive relentlessly about the person who is bringing the message the left disagree with. They have done exactly the same with Farage. They play the man not the ball. They try and tarnish and discredit anyone they are threatened by to an extent that people feel ashamed to admit they agree with what’s being said.

      The establishment create Trump. If it wasn’t for them once again sticking two fingers up to the US public and putting forward the most corrupt, conniving, hate filled lunatic on the planet in Clinton, Trump wouldn’t ve anywhere near the white house! The fact that the media are desperately trying to protect Clinton, tells you everything you need to know about the protectionist, self-interested, self serving club the elites have made for themselves.

      The media should be attacking the political establishment for putting Clinton forward as a candidate. They should be as disgusted as we are and should be doing everything in their power to make everyone aware of how unfit and dangerous she is for office. The fact they are not proves that we needed someone as powerful, rich, independent, egotistical and mentally detached as Trump to take on everything the establishment could throw at them…. And still have the fight, the confidence and the minerals to take the fight head on

      I caught a bit on Jeremy Vine today where some Scot was arguing that Scotland needed people and of course the BBC often tells us that we ‘need’ immigrants because we have an aging population that needs looking after.

      This would make sense if the immigrants were on temporary work visas and didn’t bring their families in or breed here because if they stay then they will get old and need more immigrants etc.

      A far simpler solution would be for young women to get married to young men and to have children and for the young women to stay at home looking after them and any aged parent that was around too! The roads would be empty and the streets clear of unemployed young men doing damage to infrastructure and each other. A sort of ‘working class’ utopia in fact.

      Unfortunately this goes against eighty-odd years of BBC/Guardian campaigning to reverse thousands of years of ‘normal’ sex and to promote whatever dysfunctional lifestyle that will cause the most disruption to society.

      An extraodinary speech. It will not be reported by the BBC or our media. His charges are so serious that they cannot be ignored. His attack on the media is , to my mind, one of the best things I have ever heard from a politician.
      Now we know the BBC is part and parcel of a Western media conspiracy against free people.Now we can openly say what we know to be true. The BBC is working against our Brexit decision. It is desperate to overturn our will and to stop Trump.

    Good edition of This Week with Katy Hopkins not allowing Brillo to get away with what was nothing more or less than a disingenuous anti-Trump rant from him. I’ve said on here before that I like Andrew Neil, but I certainly wasn’t impressed with him on this occasion. Hopkins openly accused the BBC of bias on both Trump and Brexit, and she had Neil visibly rattled by the end of the interview. Some fair observations from Michael Portillo also. Oh, and Katy consistently referred to the guest Labour politician and his lefty friends as ‘your sort’. I like it!

    The Hillary Election corp has such power to influence our media, so now it puts out the constant barrage of mud against Trump and turns the Lefty verse into a baying mob.

    Now that’s the “label and dismiss trick” in action, but it is wrong and uncivilised.

    We are not in the 16th century anymore ..If someone has done something wrong we gather the evidence and see if it stands up, we don’t burn them first.

    Hillary’s lot are so scared of Trump publicising the evidence against her, that they are desperately throwing out stuff to get get Trump burnt

        Nice little touch on the BBC “news” at 5.30

        Apparently the Institute of Directors has called for the “temorary” scrapping of the “tens of thousands” immigration target so we have enough labour while we can train up the people we need before brexit restricts immigration.

        Since the BBC is such an expert on subjects such as economics (especially regarding brexit). I was surprised that they did not advocate immigration controls on all immigrants except those qualified as doctors/engineers etc. Surerly then we can still keep the target as we are getting the people we want.

        Mind you I suppose if they have a degree from University of Timbuktu in either Islamic studies or Uber Cab driving I suppose in the BBCs eyes that would be even more useful and relevant to our future and growth as a nation.

      Not only does it put out a constant barrage against Trump, it actively suppresses any allegations going the other way.

      Just a thought. It strikes me that Trump needs to bypass the press. String up posters on lamp posts everywhere. He could galvanise the huge crowds he gets to do this, point them to internet sites with good posters, because the last thing you want is SWP-type posters that no-one would look at.

        Trump’s core vote is still holding up well. But he’s losing momentum. He was told NOT to raise Bill Clinton’s sex life as it backfired on the Republicans doing it when she stood as Senator – women objected to it. Obama never raised it during his primaries for that reason. After Trump made it clear he would go for Bill in the second debate, he left himself open to being undermined by similar accusations. I suspect the Democrats were sitting on that tape. Whilst in the scheme of things Trump’s boring alpha male trumpeting don’t amount to anything (clutching at straws with the one about the 12 year old), they have effectively lost him the female and many Christians vote.
        Thankfully no serious allegations have surfaced: they aren’t any as Trump is all mouth and no trousers in this area.But he needs something more than the email saga at this stage to turn events.

          The 1980 US election was swung, many say, by events in Tehran and the botched US rescue attempt. The hostages were released by Iran the day after Carter lost power to Reagan.

    Never let it be said the BBC only ever asks easy underarm bowled questions to leftist politicians only so as to tee them up for a good uninterrupted leftist rant at our expense – just now on BBC TV News “So, Nicola Sturgeon – what about this Donald Trump, then?” (I paraphrase only slightly)

    Some hereabouts occasionally question why one voluntarily suffers the slings and arrows of BBC trash TV ?

    Well, apart from the obvious answer – we pay and even if one doesn’t watch the bastards are still broadcasting (don’t believe those German philosophers – you may not witness that tree fall but when you next visit the forest you sure as heck will still trip over the fallen log blocking your path).

    And another reason is these slow ball media tossers do sometimes provide an unintential smile. This morning a BBC Breakfast branded-anorak-eunuch visits a Battle of Hastings 950 year celebration re-enactment. As we watch, rapt, daring the damp sod to make some Brexit comment he instead closes his piece to camera with a bizarre media mind mix up telling viewers that many re-enactors were on there way to Hastings “…to pay their respects… er.. take part…”

      The Sturgeon was also interviewed on Toady after the 8am news. She was given a very easy time by the lefty woman interviewer . However even the interviewer had to query how an independent Scotland could survive well with its huge budget deficit in excess of that of Greece. As we know Sturgeon , Salmond et al don’t let economic realities intrude into their Bravehaert fantasyland . We are told by Sturgeon that the UK has a huge deficit too and by golly it’s going to get bigger.
      All in all Sturgeon made a number of outrageous but unchallenged assertions about the benefits of the single market, the dire economic straits assuredly awaiting the UK etc. none challenged. It was almost a party political broadcast .
      Despite this I’m confident that the Nats have peaked although clearly its not showing much yet. I predict an impoverished future for Sturgeon but not for the UK.

    Interesting to see in The Times this morning that Lowell Goddard the Kiwi judge who recently resigned from the largely discredited Child Sexual Abuse inquiry was encouraged to resign on the grounds of racism after stating among other things that “Britain had so many paedophiles because it has so many Asian men.”

    Clearly she was being 50% politically correct, as otherwise she would have said “so many Muslim men of Pakistani heritage”.

    Another case where stating something that is a factually correct observation brings up the ‘racist’ charge.

    No wonder the report will never see the light of day – too may inconvenient facts (sorry ‘racist’ possibilities).

      If Lady Goddard really said that, then it is instructive that the first instinct of the left wing media establishment is to call her “racist”, rather than to consider that she has noticed an important truth.

      We look back at the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, and wonder how such a great power could have fallen so quickly. I don’t have any special answers, but I am pretty sure that the Romans realised at least that it would be a bad idea to allow the unrestricted immigration of Huns, Vandals and Goths, and then to forbid any criticism of these “New Romans” as being racist.

      It is just possible that our left wing establishment is unique in human history for being the most stupid, naive and self-hating of any there has ever been. And it simply cannot end well. There is no precedent for a situation like this ever ending without bloodshed and widespread destruction, and, usually, the death of the decadent society which allowed itself to be infiltrated and hollowed out from within.

    Brexit, as we should all know by now, is not a political statement endorsed by a democratic majority of the people. It is in fact a winged serpent that has old people and far-right racists straddling its slimy, scaly torso.
    The fall in sterling is, if you believe the bbc wannabe journalists, all the fault of said winged serpent.
    The possibility that there is an element of skulduggery involved in the demise of the notes adorned by Her Majesty’s boat race is not even worthy of consideration – that is if you are an amoebic halfwit.
    A quick glance at the achievements of the banks and other financial institutions in recent years will give an idea of the power and corruption they have within those tall buildings.
    > facilitated the world’s biggest financial crash (by flooding the market with sub-prime mortgages and other instruments based on same – Forrest Gump thought they were a box of chocolates but unfortunately they turned out to be a box of turds)
    > Corrupting the LIBOR exchange rate – naughty naughty, a few traders thrown under the bus but were the institutions aware themselves?????????????
    > the PPI scandal – still ongoing as our daily unsolicited calls will bear testament. A slap on the wrist for the banks but they are still paying the cost today and so they should. The banks thought they could just add a few percent to our mortgages, loans and credit cards and get away with it.
    > RBS – forcing SMEs into debt and cashing in on the result – absolutely despicable.
    So, given the history of these institutions and their market makers, FX traders et al, is it not even remotely possible that they may be involved somewhere along that downward trend in Sterling? That thought does not even cross the minds of the single-celled, blue peter financial reporting team. The institutions of course are part of the elite and are therefore graded snow-white, completely untainted with the mischief of manipulation. It must be that winged serpent then, there is no other explanation.

    Fair play to Mary and her work with soldiers serving in the Crimean War, but trying to rewrite history in this subliminal way by hijacking Florence Nightingales historic alias just discredits all the organisations that do it, including “our” biased BBC.
    WE`VE ALL READ 1984, YOU MUGS…WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP TO.

    But wait again….If Britain was a “racist” circle of hell before our enlightened, diverse times, how was Mary Seacole able to operate, and why was she operating in support of HM armed forces?

    Perhaps she wasn`t a victim of “racism” at all, perhaps the Empire that she served wasn`t a “racist” entity at all.

    The Radio 4 Today Daily Hate for Trump was again in force.

    Weird Will Gompertz (the man who got his job despite not having a degree or any broadcasting experience) was interviewing celebrity gay fashion designer Tom Ford, allowing him to plug his latest film on the oh so advert free BBC. The quid pro quo of course was that Tom Ford had to ritually denounce Trump as some sort of half witted demon. Of course he is Tom, that’s why he happens to own so much of New York City.

    Never, ever, is there a word of criticism of Hillary Clinton, the most corrupt, crooked and incompetent person who has ever run for the Presidency of the United States. It is like the Brexit vote all over again. I cannot say how much I hope the BBC wakes up on 9th November with a huge pile of egg all over their smug, left wing faces.
