One of my oldest and dearest friends has gone public on his support for Scottish Independence. I am greatly cheered by this. More thoughts later.

How many tiers to the Puppetocracy?
After midnight the pumpkin returns to the veggie state. I suspect that’s the more productive form of it.
ESLO has also posted as anon, I’m the lizard Habbakkuk, and For the return of Habba and Free Speech. ESLO declared these changes of handle. All had the same IP address, and also had the same email address until Identicons were enabled.
Resident Dissident’s IP address has changed occasionally.
ESLO (under all handles) and Resident Dissident both used the same very short email address until Identicons were enabled, which was the same time that anon at anon dot com was blocked –

ESLO and Resident Dissident both started using new e-mail addresses when posting their first comments after Identicons were enabled. The new email addresses are both based on the respective handles in similar ways.
ESLO & Resident Dissident have never commented from the same IP address. This is why the investigation is inconclusive.
FYI ESLO and Resident Dissident (whether you are two people or not), the 3 email addresses you have used belong to this company –

I didn’t say real email address – [email protected] is common – perhaps you should remember that you once noticed that I used the same all black avatar as yourself. Why was that are you me? As I have mentioned before when I retire in a few years time I will reveal my identity, and some will then need to apologise.
[craigmurray.org.uk – this comment was originally submitted 2014/04/05 22:48, but was queued for moderation because it contains the blocked [email protected]. The submission time has been modified to make it more noticeable – it could have been missed among old comments.
Resident Dissident’s comments did have Clark’s all black avatar for a while. This was caused by a software bug. Mod/Jon explained this at the time.]

We all need a bit of retrospective sweetness from time to time.

Thank you for that explanation. Perhaps the employee(s) at http://www.b.co.uk/ should concentrate on providing for their clients job satisfaction rather than wasting company time.
Technicolour –
“Very happy to keep posting this authoritative link”
Nothing authoritative or conclusive about the 2011 survey by the not impartial Commonwealth Fund. It merely asked what patients from different countries thought of the health care they received. Perhaps those that pay for their health had higher expectations and were more likely to complain than those being treated by the ‘free’ NHS? And we all know the British are an unfussy and uncomplaining lot – especialIy with regard to the Sacred Cow.
I forgot that I was subjected to some of the barbs via the ‘Mary’s Love Child’ handle.
If he/she/it had any decency they would go off with their tail between their legs and never return.
Goss: “Perhaps the employees should concentrate on providing for their clients job satisfaction rather than wasting company time.”
Perhaps you ought to spend a little more time trying to attract readers to your own blog rather than squatting on that of a well-known activist in an attempt to give your ludicrous views a wider audience.
Node: “Give it up, you’ve been caught red-handed. It’s like D.N.A evidence from old crimes being used to catch out sex offenders who thought they’d got away with it.”
Apologies in order, Node, as the mod says his investigation is inconclusive. It’s like being a suspect in a crime – innocent until proven guilty. Understood?
Anonakuk at 8.09 am. Why did you remove the brackets from employee(s)? It could not be because you want people who read the blog to think that Resident Dissident and ESLO were not one and the same person, could it?
John You might be interested in listening to Sue McGregor’s Radio 4 programme later this morning – the Reunion – where the miners’ strike is revisited. What did Thatcher call the miners? Oh yes. ‘The enemy within’.
The Miners’ Strike
Duration: 45 minutes
11.15am
When five hundred Yorkshire miners at Cortonwood Colliery downed tools on 5th March 1984, they set in train events that would lead to the longest and most bitter industrial dispute in British history.
The Miners’ Strike that followed would set miner against miner and transform quiet pit communities into battlefields, as thousands of riot police attempted to defend the right to work. The next twelve months of strife would plunge many families into poverty and place a tremendous burden on the country’s Exchequer.
On one side of the dispute was the National Union of Mineworkers – victorious over Edward Heath in 1974 and led by the charismatic militant, Arthur Scargill.
Arraigned against them was Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government, buoyed by electoral triumph and fully prepared to defend their new vision for Britain against what the Prime Minister called ‘the shock troops of the hard left’.
The Miners’ Strike still bitterly divides opinion and the legacy of the strike remains a matter of fierce debate between government and miners, and even within the Union itself.
Thirty years on from the start of the strike, those divided by the picket line join Sue MacGregor in The Reunion.
Kim Howells was research officer for the South Wales NUM, Mel Hepworth worked at Askern pit near Doncaster and became a flying picket for much of the strike, Barbara Jackson was one of the organisers of Sheffield Women Against Pit Closures. Ken Clarke was a Health Minister during the strike and his Nottinghamshire constituency included the Cotgrave Colliery, and Bill King of Bedfordshire Police led Police Support Units at the height of the strike.
Producer: Jerome Lyte
Series Producer: David Prest
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

You will probably recall some controversy about Howells’ actions. See his cover up. Was he implicated? Was he interested in protecting himself?http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/jan/26/uk.tradeunions
He became a Foreign Office Minister and was once chair of Labour Friends of Israel!

Mary, do you think you could provide a headline, link and perhaps an excerpt instead of copying and pasting whole pages? I’m getting RSI scrolling through it all. Thanks.
DCI Dross, you’re clearly fancying yourself as a bit of a Clouseau lately. Have you managed to unearth any links between the aforementioned employee(s) and Rothschild Zionism yet? Follow the money, and keep digging!
Thanks Mary for that information regarding the miners’ strike. Unfortunately I’m not going to be around. Yes, Lady Thatcher certainly devalued the epithet “Lady”. I wonder if they will ever find the nuclear weapons that went missing on her stint while David Cameron was a researcher at her office? Not only did she kill off an industry that had been the backbone of the country through two world wars, but she put all her faith in nuclear power. She, and David Cameron, were out there in Namibia supporting De Beers shortly after it had paid for the assassination of Bernt Carlsson together with 279 other passengers in what has become known as the Lockerbie Disaster. Of course some might see that as a conspiracy theory. Those who would would also want you to believe that an innocent man, Abdelbaset al Megrahi, was the bomber, Cameron among them. I wonder why David?
The message on the front pages of the Sunday papers is ‘Miller must go’, especially from the Mail and the Telegraph.

^Thanks Mary, that’s much better. No need to clog up the thread by copying out the articles.
A scandal. There has been no justice for these relatives. Good for the Mirror in drawing attention to their cause. Shirley Denson has led the fight.

Take some of your own medicine Anon and f off.
Good news!
Yesterday’s thrilling Grand National saw no casualties (excepting my Sunday morning as I nurse my head after scooping a cool £885 in winnings*), so I believe it is incumbent on one contributor to offer her congratulations to the organisers for the new safer course. Or was it the sight of people having a good time that really peeved her?
*I was going to share my tip with you all, but then I remembered what a miserable lot you are. Toodle pip!
Re coal mines, with an abundance of cheap coal available and an over-reliance on expensive foreign energy (we are even shipping trees from the US to burn at Drax), I’m all for re-opening them. Anyone disagree?
Seeing as you now know I’m a betting man, I will make a £5 bet with any one person here who wishes to take it that the BBC programme will make no mention of the fact that Labour closed more mines than Maggie.
“Take some of your own medicine Anon and f off.”
Refreshingly short and concise, Mary, but sadly still ineffective.

Pity Anonkuk.
Can’t see it being too long before you get your ticket again! Then you can spend all day in the betting shop!
“She, and David Cameron, were out there in Namibia supporting De Beers shortly after it had paid for the assassination of Bernt Carlsson together with 279 other passengers in what has become known as the Lockerbie Disaster. ”
This of course isn’t what Craig said recently i.e that a Syrian terrorist group was responsible acting on behalf of Iran. Another day, yet another lie from Mr Goss. Of course we should look as always at who he is seeking to protect to see his true motivations.
Don’t worry, I doubt De Beers libel lawyers think that defamation by you or your friends would result in any damage to their client’s reputation.
You still here ESLODissident? Have you no shame?
Lets just say I have more shame than you – when your lies are pointed out your standard response is just to divert attention elsewhere. Be a man rather than a worm and justify what you say.
John Goss
Strictly the National and Gold Cup only for me, I’m afraid. And today it’s Beef Wellington at the Grosevnor, where they also offer a delicious Israeli red from the Galilee region, the name of which escapes me.

Ps John Goss, you one described yourself as a Christian socialist. Oughtn’t you to be in church? Or are you just a socialist?
Anon is of course Habbabkuk aka Charles Crawford. It’s the gloating that is the giveaway.
