A gentleman in a dark trenchcoat has just handed me this minute. I am not going to check the veracity of its contents at all, but I am rather going immediately to publish it.
Mr Carlton-Browne,
I had a phone call from that Peruvian Johnny. No idea what he was saying, some kind of foreigner talk apparently. Anyway it turned out that young Olga the cleaner could speak the language so she translated for me. She is a marvel, Olga. She even takes copies home of everything for me so that if I lose something she’ll have another copy safe and sound.
Anyway, apparently this Peruvian chap had been in Scotland and met up with Alex Salmond, who used to be some sort of local official. He thought that I would like to know that Salmond said he wasn’t big on canapes and despite his name didn’t like smoked salmon. Rather wry that, I thought.
He went on to say that Salmond said he had enormous respect for Nigel Farage, who was very macho, and he would be delighted to see a UKIP government in power after the general election, preferably in coalition with Pegida. Salmond added “thank God nobody knows about this, or they would lynch me. Of course I haven’t told anybody, but I feel perfectly safe revealing it at random to a passing Peruvian I just met.”
The Peruvian chap said before he hung off that of course he was telling me as everybody knows that all foreign ambassadors must by protocol give details of all their transactions to their host governments and that anybody who denied this was a dirty liar, particularly smart-arsed ex-diplomats from Edinburgh. He also added clearly that nobody at all should believe him if he himself denied these conversations had ever taken place.
I thanked him very much for this information. This is a very proper and official government memo, oh yes. It even has acronyms – we shall have to tell R2D2 and SPECTRE before the meeting in Rio about climate change because we are all genuine government people doing important government business, oh yes.
I shan’t put my name on this as it is all jolly secret. If anyone catches us out, just say Olga got lost in translation.
Well Habbabkuk. As President Correa said to the US president, “You can have a military base in Ecuador if we can have one of ours in Miami.” So a photo of me for one of you.
Shit, I have to post this. Spookily topical. Check out from 2:05, if you want to miss out the stuttering nonsense beforehand.

“What would you do to help the world if you could spend £30.000 pounds a week for the next 1000 years. Well that what the government spend on”
Yes you guessed it.
“Don’t fact’s like that just wipe you out”
Westminster,along with,several allies are carrying out Europes largest war games off the coast of Scotland this weekend.
Exercise “Joint Warrior” will be a show of strength shown over 2 weeks,aimed at Russia,it will involve 55 subs and warships,70 aircraft,13000 personnel from 18 different countries.
I wish they’d f*ck off, and play their war games elsewhere,anywhere but Scottish waters.

I’m sure you realise that I don’t give the time of day to silly little boys.
Problem is, the silly little boys continue to run the country.
It’s both our country, Habba.
Think about it.
Mary we love you and pray for you, and thank you for your illuminating posts. Habba is just rubbish.
Nicola Sturgeon memo claiming she would prefer David Cameron in power was written in Scotland Office
Alistair Carmichael, the Scottish Secretary, confirms controversial leaked document originated north of the border.

Your reticence puzzles me.
Your Craig Murray photo is already in the public domain.
A more recent photo of you is also in the public domain; it graces your own website.
It is therefore not a question of you publishing your photo for the first time, it is a question of you posting an updated photo of yourself on CM.
Surely even the fictional Big Ears would have understood that?

You speak as if doing deals with Hitler is a good thing – fortunately Churchill realised while it mattered that it wasn’t while Putin even with the benefit of hindsight has changed his mind..
“Nicola Sturgeon memo claiming she would prefer David Cameron in power was written in Scotland Office

Yes and from your link.
“The SNP-supporting Sunday Herald reported that the French consul-general, Pierre-Alain Coffinier, on whose testimony the account of Ms Sturgeon’s meeting was based, refused to deny that she had said she did not consider Mr Miliband to be Prime Minister material.”
So the information was given to the Scotland office by the French consul-general who was at the meeting and he does not deny it’s accuracy.
So the memo is genuine, not forged or invented, not created by MI5 it is a genuine memo documenting the consul-general’s account of the meeting.
I checked the Sunday Herald and this is what I see

Habba, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: you lot will all eventually be put on trial, and no doubt the outcome will be that most of you will be put up against a wall and shot.
You understand this just as much as me.
So this a labour, ffs. FFS.
See this is why i’m backing the Greens. And really what difference would it make, Labour or Tory. They are all cut for the same cloth, No matter what their days are numbered.
I live in a ‘strong’ labour area anyway, they just vote for them because they do.
GRRRR, How fucking stupid and sad is this. Really we could do without a Tory win. But it’s making them look like the good guys.
@RD “You speak as if doing deals with Hitler is a good thing”
I never said it was a good thing you have very twisted thinking.With regards to Hitler and Churchill
It was the Nazi fighting the Nazi and you should check out Churchill`s best mate Frederick Alexander Lindemann a Nazi on steroids if ever there was one.Go read Mrs Guinness.
Who is the troll that calls itself ‘Habbabkuk (La vita e’ bella)’?
This creature is so sure of themself that they continue to post anonymously.
This creature constantly abuses other posters and continually uses foul language (believe me, you don’t see the half of it, because most of it gets moderated).
In the short time I’ve been posting on this blog, this creature has actively defended child sex abuse and murder.
This creature actively defends corruption in Westminster and in the banking industry (it’s why we’re all broke folks).
I do understand why Craig allows such pond life to post on his blog; but I’m sorry, when it comes to the VIP child sex abuse scandal, a line has to be drawn in the sand.
Squonk,I see you done your homework,with regards to the Herald,others could take a lesson from you,if they weren’t blinkered.
We need some hope.
It took Syriza 2 goes to get in. So I suggest really back the Greens and civil disobedience, make whatever ass holes get in life hell. Force them to back off on critical issues.
Don’t forget Syria, that plan was stopped during a Tory government.
You know maybe we need this in England. People need to wake up and see the boot in their face.
I was having a rather anarchist/militant “Bring down the government” type conversation with a Green party member recently. I don’t remember the exact wording but the fighting talk came more from her than me. It cheers me up just recalling it.
No matter what it’s going to become clearer and clearer to ordinary people just where they stand, or lie.
Habba will no doubt tell you to breath in deeply, and plutonium is good for you…

This is also opportunity, as we don’t have to worry about ‘winning’. We can stand for the things I think many believe in. And I think Greens are very aligned with that.
One guy said I don’t vote because no matter who wins etc. I said don’t worry, ‘we’ (i’m not a member) won’t win.
And I think if your going to make a UKIP type protest vote why not do it with someone who actually has some stated policies. And isn’t run by a rich Toff.
GOOD digging SQUONK… cheers.
since i was the only one to have FIGURED OUT – by the first two sentences of this thread – that it was a Hoax / humor… But Brilliantly Deceiving at the First, I thereby Claim my Prize, of a Freezing Pint at Doune The Rabbit hole… Yip. 🙂
Interesting that stubborn defense of establishment shibboleths is so united with diehard support of Israeli crimes. Their being so associated means that, when the one goes down, so will the other.
No mention of events in Kenya by the “Africa expert”. Funny that.
I’v just been catching up on some more of Nicola Sturgeon’s debates/comments.
I really apologize for my previous ignorant comments. Totally out of order to align her in any way with some other prominent UK figures.
I don’t have any good excuses.

Ishmael, you live in a neocon lunatic asylum, enabled by the mainstream media.
There’s no real freedom, no openess, no democracy.
It’s all spin, lies, propaganda; totally controlled; and of course I could point towards our old friend on this forum.
Think about it: they now have agents on comment threads to try and make you believe that black is white and down is up.
Am I in East Berlin in 1977?
Sorry. I know I am not welcome here..but I am just trying to fight/well write for some Democracy…
The EU might be O.K. if we could just find a way..such that we didn’t have these complete and gormless, useless(and often evil psychos) idiots in control..which so far as I can tell has come from a choice From The UK…
You can Have Either Catherine Ashton or Tony Blair…as your UK Representative….
Its not much of a choice is it?
Do you want to see the photos of The British Candidates..

Both supposed to Be International Statesmen / Women..
and we look at The competition..for Election To The Government of The UK…
I mean shiit..I have worked with some of the most talented people in the World..and they expect me to vote for any of these People…
Seriously..They are not the best..they are not even that good..in fact they are well..You vote for them if you want…
Surely we can do better than that.
Here I really Like Nicola Sturgeon..it seemed like she was for Real..and of course well rehearsed..but not just doing an act..and doing it for real..such that I could ask her the most politically difficult question..and she would give me and everyone an answer live on TV,,which everyone including me…thought was brilliant..and she would do it from a spark in her head..and it really had nothing especially about Scottish Independence..it was Much More Than That..it would be AGAINST CENTRAL CONTROL..but how do I know?
I Reckon She’s a Good Girl
and i accept that i am no one to complain…cos i have not put myself up for election…and the people who do..i try and work out..if they are intelligent and nice..or complete psychos…
And if and when they come knocking on my door, I intend to ask them some Questions.
How the hell else can you Vote for Any Of These People…
Do you really want any of them to Represent You or Are You Voting For a Brand. Kellogs Rice Chrispies..or Sainsbury’s..or Weetabix?
Am I allowed to complain about this complete lack of Democratic Choice..when it is These People who control The Media..The TV and The Press who control nearly all the “news” and information..and I KNOW that a large percentage of it is Propaganda and Lies…
How Can I fight against this?
Tony
RobG
Yea, but I personally should know better. I’m not new to this. It’s ok I won’t beat myself up. Lesson learned.
Just seeing that debate on aids, it’s just the kind of thing I believe, and act on. I may as well attack myself. It’s not like it’s hard following mainstream debates, and if i’m going to comment I should at least do that. Though to be fair to myself I know why I haven’t in the past. Nobody worth listening to.
And I signed a petition to get more party’s in them, lol. Habitual cynicism.
And I notice on guardian the comments thread i’m not alone, Like why is nobody mentioning the Green’s in there lamenting about English politics, they have been here for a while now. Getting arrested, etc. Right up my street.
Memo from old crawford fart, not to be confused with FCO, that if the UK and France both back both ISIS and ISIS’s enemies, when is Nicola Sturgeon going to get her other dream-boy pin-up romance with Ed Milibnad leaked?
Tart! Sorry Nicola, that was referring the Tory fart, Crawford, not you darling.
“Sorry. I know I am not welcome here.”
?
Not from me Tony, your wanderings made my previous ones feel focused. Though they are a lot to get through sometimes.

To play the bagpipes, or harmonium, you have to play the tune with your fingers while maintaining pressure inside the air-sac. Your responses have no recognisable tune and you appear to be trying to play the wind-bag.
You ought to be tied up for the duration of the election like the bard Cacofonix in the French cartoon Asterix and Obelix
“How Can I fight against this?
Tony”
Any way you feel. I’m helping the Greens among other things.
And Just post/say what you want. Don’t care too much what others may think. You know your a good guy.
