Good Night Vienna

 

Whilst the devolved Scottish NHS is struggling to survive with full wards and record wait times both for treatment and for ambulances, a situation so blatantly dire that the British Army had to be called in to help out why is the SNP so deafening quiet about an SNP Minister Angus Robertson would attempt to spend £30,000 of Tax payers cash on the book launch of his book about the history of an Austria city? 

No even one ounce of integrity displayed here by this group of thieves! 

Perhaps Angus who is the SNP Scottish arts and culture instead of writing books about far away cities and attempt to promote them with tax payers money should instead concentrate on the job he gets paid for, maybe try and persuade his SNP council colleagues not to close libraries, or would that be a conflict of self- interests as he wants to charge people £25 for his Self indulgent turd of a book! 

Not the first time greedy Angus has had his snout in the trough … when he has the deputy leader under Sturgeon he claimed expenses for a whole home cinema set up (also a tv licence too) He said that the DVD player and recorder was "purchased to catch up with recorded political programmes and also has a built-in radio function"

Remember the tens of thousands of pounds in profit from the sale of his taxpayer-funded second home he said he would donate to charity upon its sale? Well it sold and he pocketed the cash! 

And let’s not forget SNP Tommy Shepard, one of only 3 applications out of 203 who got the full £250K payout from the covid fund for his comedy club in Edinburgh which he runs as a side line to his other comedy act which is the SNP… corrupt to the core 

COP(out)26 Glasgow

 COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate change conference comes to Glasgow next week Billed as “the world’s best last chance to get runaway climate change under control” like the 25 before it.

Due to lack of accommodations they are going to use a giant cruse ship as a floating hotel to help billet some of the 25’000 delegates and their hangers on. The ship MS Silja Europa is sailing in from Estonia to Glasgow with its 32000 kilowatt diesel which will burn through about 150 tons of diesel fuel each day which will give off roughly the same level of pollutants as approximately one million cars!! 

There is also another massive cruse ship being used which is already docked in King George the  5th dock in Glasgow after traveling in from Morocco for the event.

Each ship also emits around 450kg of ultra fine spot particles each day too I should maybe mention, and about 200’000 gallons of human sewage! 

I have not even talked about how many of the delegates will be arriving flying in from around the world. 

Glasgow is going to attempt and show some green credentials using electric cars to drive  the 120 visiting heads of state and their entourages between their hotels and the SECC venue as the buses and trains (and bin men) have taken this opportune time to go on strike) but they have now discovered there will not be enough charging points for all these electric cars so they also have brought in oil powered generators to assist! 

…and what will be achieved once this two weeks long jolly has run its course? The same result as the previous 25 which is heigh-ho…abso-fucking-lutely nothing!!

But hey, they will just come to the decision to add a couple more hundred £ to our gas and electric bills and road tax as a “Green subsidy”, pass a low that we can only burn even more “less” smoke producing fuel on our wood burners which costs more and heats less, then be forced to replace our gas boilers for some less heating efficient heat pump … but don’t worry, COP27 will just be around the corner for more arsehole decisions and in-between we more coal burning power stations opening up in China and a wee headbanger Swedish school dodger to lecture us on how we dare!    

Scottish Squid Game

 Just finished watching Squid Game on Netflix, really good! The following will not make much sense if you have not seen it yet (do you live in a cave?) and perhaps even less sense if you never had a childhood growing up in Scotland as I do see some similarities with what we use to play as kids.

Red Light Green Light? Never heard of it as a kid, although it was similar to when the teacher in the classroom had her back to us whilst writing on the blackboard, that “green light” moment would sometimes prompt a rude hand gesture in her direction, usually the prongs but if she were to turn around catching the perpetrator in mid-action “red light” then the quick death of a snipers bullet to the head would have been more preferable than the wrath and punishment that would follow. 

Ppopgi, which was the honeycomb biscuit game …when we were kids we use to try and pick off the scabs on our knees trying not go get them to blood and peal them off in a “one’er” if we were successful then we could flick the disc of hardened blood towards the head of the kid sitting in front of us, if we failed then it would hurt like a bugger and get a bollocking of our mam when returning home “nae wonder that’s no healing with you picking at it aw the time” 

Marbles? We use to play a game called “chippy” flicking coins at a wall, the kid to get the closest would win the “pot”, many a loser lost their lunch money or had to walk home after betting and losing their bus fare.

Tug-of-war? Plenty times we push each other towards a dog shit on the pavement, the more agile gazelle like kids would dodge or gracefully hop over, the more heavy footed would either plough through it or splat right in the centre. Terrible trying to clean that brown mush from the treads of our Clarkes.

The actual Squid Game itself looks a wee bit familiar to Hopscotch, although it’s a lovely idyllic thought to believe we would be playing Hopscotch like wee Victorian urchins from a Charles Dickens novel but the truth of it was if we got our hands on a piece of chalk then more likely we’d be drawing a spurting phallus with two big hairy sacks using the playground tarmac as our canvas, but hey, these were our “cave paintings” to pass on elicit knowledge during a time where there was no such thing as internet porn, only wee Davy’s pack of exotica playing cards he smuggled back from his summer holiday in Spain. 

Green Menace to Scotland

 “We have… practical, costed policies for a fair and green recovery, nearly *all* of which we can implement under the current constitutional arrangement. We don’t need to wait for independence.” -Lorna Slater (pre-election)

“I don’t see how I can realistically talk about tackling the climate crisis when I don’t have the powers to do all those things.” - Lorna Slater (post-election)

That’s that shouty tree hugging moron from Canada that moved here and now wants to take our British citizenship (us in Scotland) away from us. She is the co-leader of the Green Party in Scotland with little toad faced Patrick Harvie. 

The Scottish Greens now have to position everything through the pro independent prism to satisfy their new political masters. It's totally negated both the message and their credibility

Nicola Sturgeon has taken these pair of turds and their Green Party into the SNP fold with a power sharing deal, a shameful attempt at a nationalist coalition of chaos focused on splitting up the country and dividing Scotland with another bitter referendum and of course Scottish government to present the thin veneer of strong pro-climate credentials before November’s COP26 in Glasgow…currently Garbage capital of Europe thanks to SNP mismanagement.

And let’s not ignore that it’s a disgusting attempt to manipulate pro-independence arithmetic at Holyrood as addition of seven Scottish Green seats will allow the Scottish government to comfortably pass legislation despite the majority of the Scottish electorate being against it (their party representatives being their voice now gaged)…in other words …a ONE PARTY STATE!

Just another Greedy Liar within the ranks of the lying Pretendy Scottish Govt! 

Who said things couldn’t get worse?

British Airways goes Woke

 Reading in the news that British Airways pilots have been told not to address passengers as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/10/british-airways-pilots-told-not-to-address-passengers-as-ladies-and-gentlemen-15396055/

3 or 4 years ago I would go out my way to use BA for one of my planned trips humming the Flower Duet from Delibe’s Lakme whilst entering my credit card details to complete my booking online. I always thought I was in safe hands flying with the UK’s flag carrier but times are a changing.  

I booked with them when I was planning my trip to Cuba about 4 years ago, when I heard, at Heathrow, my London to Havana leg would be using Virgin Atlantic instead of BA my initial feeling was disappointment but my fears were soon unfounded by their far more superior service from boarding the debarking …rated much higher in my opinion compared to BA, an opinion tread which was to continue with subsequent future travel arrangements.

 

BA has been in steady declining over the last few years, no complimentary drinks on short haul only M&S food for purchase at inflated prices to eat at your seat which as had its pitch reduced to the absolute minimum standard accepted by aviation law!

They are just like RyanAir now but more expensive and try to promote themselves on a reputation they no longer have. 

They won the race to the bottom and still claim a premium product. The product in no way shape or form can be considered "Premium"

BA is now truly one of the worst airways in the world, renowned for the smug, thin lipped rudeness of its staff (perhaps due to them getting all their airline benefits cut to the bone) 

The companies that make the decisions and choices the market likes will prosper, those that do not will shrivel and fail. No need for government or the media to pontificate.

The beauty of capitalism is…. diversity and as such we can choose to use the services of another airline which is not ran by a bunch of “woke” idiots who attempt to put critical race theory into practice after discussing over their coconut milk lattes in the boardroom! 

This is becoming symptomatic with many businesses and services in our country, it is being hijacked by the unelectable woke hypocritically arseholes!

It's far more worrying than it is being presented with what we read (if it’s The Guardian you read and BBC News you watch you are particularly vulnerable) 

These aren't just a few cranks , they are changing our culture by stealth and we cannot vote them out.

It’s regressive cowardice and hypocrisy tarted up as "progressivism” and it’s becoming all that more common. 

I Double Dare You Greta

 Although the U.K. is often castigated by the Saint Greta of Thunderbird (you know, that wee Swedish school dodger sock puppet from Sweden) we (the U.K.) are phasing out coal powered power stations.

Between 1970 and 2017, sulphur dioxide emissions in Britain plummeted by 97 per cent. Levels of particulate pollution – such as soot – fell by 73 per cent, nitrogen oxides by 72 per cent and volatile organic compounds by 66 per cent. Ammonia emissions have been reduced by 11 per cent since 1980.

It ain’t just coal power we are gradually eliminating. Lead in road fuel was eliminated in the late 1980s and 1990s. Catalytic converters from the 1990s onwards have removed a lot of other pollution from cars too.

All car manufacturers have become far better at stopping gases from fuel to escape into the atmosphere.

I am sure there will be a few people reading this (few is the readership of my blog right enough) who like myself have memories of their dads warming up the car (Ford cortina in our case) in the late 1970s to run them to school and the reek of petrol they gave off. They no longer do so! So with such progress why does the fore-mentioned Saint Greta come to these isles to do her preaching?  Here is an idea…get on your carbon yacht and set sail to China (with entourage and string pullers on a big jet to follow you) 

But I do think you could actually put forward a good ethical argument for investing in coal mining and oil exploration, the black stuff has, directly and indirectly brought light, heat and comfort to billions of people worldwide over the last two centuries as well as allowing backbreaking toil to be largely done away with for most people in the advanced world( do a bit reading on the industrial revolution) Two hundred years ago working people could live their entire lives without leaving the parish they were born in now they can travel the world thanks to coal and the advancements it has created …bless these fossil fuels they have paved the way for the modern world none of which would have been possible without the burning of coal…without coal we may never have heard of Greta Thunberg. 

Yet shouldn’t this wee Swedish truant be shouting her revelations and big licks with her “how dare you” in China as it is the world’s biggest polluter, responsible for 27 per cent of global emissions of greenhouse gases and that’s about to get worse with coal consumption is on track to increase this year by around ten per cent as is currently building new coal plants at more than 60 locations across the country.

But let’s also give them their dues which is that they produce more solar power than any other country (they are seeking to corner the global market in many green technologies) But fossil fuels still account for 85 per cent of energy used, and coal represents 57 per cent of that so let’s no get too carried away with saying China has green credentials which is about as popular across there as their human rights! 

To out china’s coal use in a wee bit  perspective here give they already have more than 1,000 gigawatts of coal power and another 105 gigawatts soon to be added. Britain’s ENTIRE electricity generational capacity is about 75 gigawatts…China now burns half the world’s coal.

Dear Greta, I don’t think you’d get the same attention (or your mammy and daddy get as much money) if you were to cry through your outrage in Tiananmen Square for frog faced Xi Jinping!  But I dare you to go there Greta, I double dare you (that’s how I dare you) 

Perhaps you may get ran over by one of his tanks… that may pollute the tarmac a bit with your blood and giblets but think of the cover of The Times magazine…surely that would get you a Post Humorous Nobel prize? …and the Tiananmen Square People's Liberation Army cleaning lady a headache untangling your ponytail braids from the tracks of the tank!

Mention it to your handlers Greta , it’s got a modern day Joan of Arc vibe to it … I am sure they could convince you … perhaps pull a few strings! 

Ben & Jerry Hypocrisy

 

Ben & Jerry, the overpriced Ice Cream manufacturer has announced trumpeted their foray into Middle Eastern politics by banning the sale of their product in occupied Palestine…..Because depriving the Israeli settlers of Chunky Monkey & Chocolate Fudge Brownie will be the tipping point resolving this many years old conflict! 

The pair of auld fannies announced in July that it will stop selling its products in what it called “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” presumably the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The move will come as Ben & Jerry’s license deal with its local franchise ends at the end of 2022, and will not be renewed.

I wonder what their next plans will be to demonstrate their capitalist woke’ness? 

Perhaps in support of Palestine’s elected political party Hamas they will stop selling two scoops of the same flavour or start collecting empty cartons of Häagen-Dazs from the buckets to strategically litter outside their shop on the pavement for the dissemination  of propaganda to claim that Häagen-Dazs eaters have no respect for the environment.

Woke Capitalism at its hypocritical best…when did Ben And Jerry’s become the moral referee for far-flung conflicts? Woke nonsense for the cheap seats! They have been reported for exploiting migrant workers and their parent company Unilever has been manufacturing and selling skin-whitening cream in India…. Hypocrisy with a big H! 

When recently interviewed https://youtu.be/7DoywTGsWfs they were asked why they would continue to sell ice cream in the US state of Georgia, which has restrictions on voting, and Texas with its recent anti-abortion law.

“Why are you still selling there?” they were asked about Georgia and Texas. Neither said anything for long seconds, then Cohen said: “I don’t know. It’s a good question. I don’t know what that would accomplish.” He shrugged and repeated, “I don’t know. I think you ask a really good question and I think I’d have to sit down and think about it for a bit.” 

Perhaps this pair of Statler and Waldorf looking arseholes would like to have a look at their parent company,through the same virtue signalling prism, the big company who they choose to sell their business to but which they still remain remain part of generating massive Income for …Unilever.

Unilever…Worst rating for animal testing policy

Unilever…constantly lobby for free trade at the expense of the environment, animal welfare, human rights or health protection.

Unilever…workers from their Durban, South Africa plant peacefully picketed at the Unilever facility in the city over Unilever’s unethical practices, private security hired by Unilever attacked the protesters by shooting rubber bullets at then and using pepper spray (a complaint was filed with the UN) 

…I could go on but you get the general idea, Ben and Jerry basically sold their soul to the devil and want you to believe they are a pair of lovely caring auld men looking out for others …woke hypocrisy at its best! 

When The Circus Comes To Town

I have seen photos doing the rounds on social media of the recent (and past) Scottish independence march(s) and many of the participating folk certainly appear to be colourful characters to say the least! Many would not seem out of place at a Lord of the Rings cosplay. I sometimes wonder what is going through their heads when they paint their faces blue to look like that Aussie actor in that historically inaccurate movie and fasten on their Chinese manufactured kilts, the one thing that I can safely say that’s not going on him their heads in logical sense based on widely available facts … but it’s all good fun I’m sure, as long as they were not to carry that craziness into the voting booth but sadly that is not the case.

To paraphrase a clinical psychologist’s view , these folk have serious issues that they are avoiding so they adopt pseudo moralistic stances on large scale social issues in the attempt to make themselves look good to their mates.

In this case it’s shouting out that all of Scotland’s woes are Westminster’s fault and Independence will solve everything, overlooking the fact that what is already devolved is failing and being ran down at an alarming rate by a Scottish Government who already have many of these so called “levers of power” but choose not to use them as they’d rather mouth off about Westminster and a conservative government which deflect from the scrutiny of their own failings and greed, also adding their corruption which on inspection has overtaken anything they can accuse Westminster of! 

Evil has a Name and it’s called Sturgeon

 “Back to the nursing home auld fellas and take one for the team! With the Nationalist Eugenics program there will be a few blue on blues but demographically we will get the electorate parameters set in our favour” …you can just imagine the vile Nicola Sturgeon saying that to this happy trio of Scottish independence supporters in the photo at the head of this post, especially considering one of her latest comments saying that time was on her side.

Statistically the older generation, the very people who fought for this country in a world  war with (other) facist Nationalists, vote NO to Scottish Independence and the SNP have been attempting to brainwash the younger generation, dumb them down with a decaying devolved education system and bribe them with promised freebies! 

You could be excused for believing that eugenics are being used in Scotland by Sturgeon to narrow down the demographics of the electorate to the age group she believes she needs reduce to get the best chance of a Yes vote …after sticking the elderly from hospitals into care homes without being tested I would not put it passed her!

Covid kills off a higher ration of the elderly and now we learn that she has covered up one of the earliest outbreaks of Covid in Scotland (see my previous post) 

As she said “time is on her side” but people will soon wise up to her … perhaps when your wee son returns from primary school as a wee girl!

This monstrous Sturgeon creature would be out pouring water on the pavements during a big freeze if she thought she would get rid of the elderly who vote NO.

Her mismanagement over Covid in Scotland has cost lives … but of course she will survive it because she has a following like a modern day Jim Jones which will close rank when she is threatened even though she has been dishing out the Kool Aid to the old and attempting to brainwash the young to reach her goal!

Even many supports of independence (which you know I’m not one) are turning against her as they now are getting to know that it’s not necessarily mutually inclusive their desire for Indy and support of the SNP clowns. 

I have this  Sturgeon beast right up there was Mao and Stalin, just comparative with a smaller country which we are! 

Anyone who still wants to go out and clap for this piece of dung will probably have a shrine for Myra Hindley in their homes because it’s an evil they support no two ways about it! 

Sturgeon Cover Up

 

Sturgeon decided to cover up Scotland's first Covid outbreak against the advice of her Health Secretary in a decision that could have cost 2,000 lives.

Remember when she was questioned about this at one of her daily TV appearances? She blamed the Incident Management Team and said it was their decision not to report it passing the blame then and trying to absolve herself of all responsibility.

The head line in The Sunday Times this morning says”Nicola Sturgeon overruled Covid aides in ‘cover-up’ over outbreak at Nike conference in Edinburgh” then goes on to say…

“Nicola Sturgeon kept Scotland in the dark over its first mass Covid outbreak against the advice of her health minister and the deputy chief medical officer — and a leading scientist says it potentially exposed more people to the virus.

Behind the scenes details of decisions made by the Scottish government in the early days of the pandemic, which has led to nearly 9,000 deaths, were laid bare in emails released during the summer under freedom of information”

There was always questions about “NikeGate”but she squirmed out of them with evasion and so much was happening to divert the attention of the media to other things but now, especially with these new revelations with the emails release through FOI this must be scrutinised fully by an independent public inquiry and if found to be true she must be strung up but like the cult leader which she is, her followers will just close rank defending her and she will worm her way out of it. 

As Nike would say “Just Do It” 

The Scottish Sock Puppet Party

Yes, I know! Picking that low hanging fruit again, this time mangos. I have mumbled about the Greens in a recent past post, not first past the post which the Greens never have been during these Scottish elections but these are my rants, my self-indulgent therapy so if you don’t like it then go screw yourself …if you are Scottish then the Scottish Government is already screwing you, now the SNP have added the Greens to give you a right good bukkake finish so I would advise you to shut your mouth and read on…

Nicola Sturgeon, a power mad apparatchiks has enlisted to add of the unhinged Scottish Green Party with her wee wheeling and dealing with this power sharing stunt making a mockery of democracy.

Nothing but nodding donkeys for the SNP these two numpties get a massive pay rise curtesy the of the Scottish taxpayer. 

Neither of the two twats in the Scottish Gloop …sorry, I mean Scottish Green Party could even win a constituency in Scotland but they were bumped up to ministerial positions by Herr Sturgeon to give her carte blanche when calling the shots in The Shortbread Senate against any opposition of other parties who do have constituencies and want their voices to be heard! 

The Scottish Green Party are led by two leaders, a man and a woman in a childish attempt to flaunt their diversity instead of fronting the best man or woman for the job! 

Co-leader Lorna Slate is a Canadian who has now came across here and pressing for Scottish independence which would, if came to pass, take away my British Citizenship. She is another nut job who was banging on about Westminster ‘oppression’!

The other co-leader, a wee arrogant, self-satisfied, sanctimonious prick called Patrick Harvey who could not show any respect when making a speech during thevHolyrood’s tributes when the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip died. The wee nyaff could not even contain himself with a little de mortuis nil nisi bonum (say nothing but good of the dead) within his screwed face. Him and Big Bird Slater are a pair of sock puppets selling out any of their pretend ideologies for support of the SNP’s sectarian agenda is the chase of the only greens they are interested in with is paper and has the queens head on it! 

Their policies are so dissonant its no surprise that no people other than green fanatics would vote for them.

Scottish Greens appear to be more like Mangos That is, they are green on the outside yet SNP-yellow on the inside, the SNP try to show green credentials when it suits them (not in 2014 when they tried to base the break away from the U.K. on Scottish oil production mis-calculated projections, you could say they were like watermelons to keep the fruit analogy going…green on the outside but Marxist red on the inside)

Modern Day Eugenics

 I was quite horrified to read that an unborn baby in the U.K. (don’t know what the laws are else where) can be terminated up to the moment of full term if he/she has been identified as having Downs Syndrome. 

There are about 750 babies born in the U.K. every year with Downs, it’s a terrible affliction and must weight very heavily on the parents and the families but surely this eugenics approach is wrong! It’s worst than wrong in my mind, since when must every baby be perfect? Surely as a human race with compassion and empathy we love and take care of our own no matter what and there is assistance out there for when the burden becomes too great. 

Where could this lead in the future? screening out short kids or babies of a certain gender, an extra finger on one hand? Maybe I’m sounding a bit extreme there but it’s all about definitions of what people will consider as a “handicap” to them…the kid born with Downs never knew of an other life and will lead the one he has to the best of his/her ability …who’s right is it to take that opportunity away from them?

Differences are what makes us human, we don’t live in a Huxley’s fictional “Brave New World” where babies are engineered through artificial wombs and childhood indoctrination programmes into predetermined classes based on intelligence and physical potential. 

My son Sam was born at 28 weeks with only 25 weeks growth as he was extremely premature, he was 1lbs 9oz at birth then dropped to 1lbs 7oz. I never knew if he would have “problems” due to this before he was born (luckily and blessed he turned out fine) but at the time before he was delivered I would have been aghast if a doctor, who took a Hippocratic oath to hold all life sacred, would have suggested to me to terminate him …and let’s be clear about how this would happen (does happen in the case of some Downs unborn babies) it’s not flicking an “off switch” or giving the mother a pill, it’s an injection of potassium into the babies heart to kill him! Truly horrific!!! 

The very concept of eugenics is horrific, excluding people judged to be inferior for whatever reason so then promoting those judged to be superior in the right to life has no place in a civilised society, and the current laws with the termination of Downs babies is barbaric!
