Kezia Dugdale Got Just 5,217 Votes 1642


The Labour Party is being remarkably coy about releasing the actual result of its Scottish accounting unit leadership election, giving only a percentage. The entirely complacent unionist media is complicit in what amounts to a deception. The stunning truth is that in a one person, one vote election among the entire membership of the Labour Party in Scotland plus trades union supporters, Dugdale won with 5,217 votes (out of a claimed electorate of 21,000, many of whom do not exist or could not be arsed to choose between two right wing numpties).

UPDATE: A second Labour figure just rang me to assure me my information – which was from a good source – is wrong. She would not give the actual figure and only said it was “higher”. I offered to take down the post and publish an accurate figure if she would give it, but this was declined.

    Since we’re playing soldiers, here’s a map of theatre so’s everyone can join in:

    https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_1484w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2015/07/26/Foreign/Graphics/2300syria-ISIS-7-27-15.jpg

    ISIS supply lines through that area called the “safe zone”, to Turkey. The Kurds seem to have blocked the rest of the Turkish/Syria border.

    Turkey has been using the conflict to attack the Kurds, who’ve been the strongest fighters against ISIS to date.

    Turkey’s other objective is the dismantling of Syria.

    Here’s Sibel Edmonds discussing the issue:

    The appointment by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of one of his most hawkish and outspoken rivals as Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations has prompted widespread consternation.

    As one Israeli analyst noted last week, Danny Danon’s appointment amounts to a “cruel joke” on the international community. The new envoy “lacks even the slightest level of finesse and subtlety required of a senior diplomat”.

    Wonder too why “ISIS” hasn’t headed south and helped itself to the major oilfields owned by western multinationals.

    It tried, and failed. It lost Kirkuk, too. There’s a logistic problem in tankering crude long distances (very prone to airstrikes, that). It needs a nearby porous border. And help from a dodgy company like Genel (history back to our old friend Tony Buckingham) which knows the trade.

    I see we’re going to get into the usual “’tis…’tisn’t” spat about whether or not the Rothschilds/Illuminati/CIA are directly funding ISIS in order to cause destructive instability in an energy-rich region formerly pretty well sewn up by Western interests, with the validity of evidence for either side heavily constrained by what is discoverable by Google – itself a galactic plot fomented by Jewish aliens from the Tel Aviv stargate.

    The cockup theory is equally attractive. No more.

    The cat ( Turkey ) and the owner of the goldfish both have designs on the goldfish.
    When the cat realised that the owner was suffering from pre=tended stress disorder that the goldfish was going to attack him/her, the cat also realised that the owner would turn a blind eye to it putting its razor claws in the godfish’s bowl.

    So why are we talking ( Corbyn’s cutting the supply chain to IS ) about the owner USUKIS punishing the cat when we know that the cat is following the owners Frankenstein psychotic delusional aggression?? Run out of pejorative medical stickers, sorry.

  • fedup

    Does anyone know the accurate figures of the UK population;
    a- Own Shares?
    b- Are a member of a political party?

    Given that not many people own any shares (trivial share holders excluded, ie ten shares in the Gas, and two shares in BT) why does any stock markets crash here or in China matters?

    “…whereas the use of a word like ‘laddie’ is far more telling. In my view, your use of it completely nails you in that it contains your entire biography – the social milieu in which you grew up, the problems you had at school and the steps you took to overcome them and which led to the type of person you later became”
    _________________

    It is your prerogative, as a man of letters, to use your imagination when it comes to my occasional use of “laddie” 🙂

    Actually, I’ve been tempted on occasion to use “squire” but I do feel that “laddie” encapsulates better the impression a couple of the junior scribblers on here make on me.

    BTW, do you have anything against a the’ dansant? Have you ever indulged?

    The recent investigatory powers bill shortly before Parliament has been ‘extended’ in response to the surveillance disclosures by the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

    http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/may/27/security-services-investigatory-powers-bill

    I hope this brief ‘inside track’ may be of some value at least to alleviate undue surprises:

    The review called ironically ‘A QUESTION OF TRUST’ examines the following areas

    1. Property Interference Warrant – authorisation to access your computer hardware that may be off-line – might be a server or data server in a home network of computers.

    2. Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) authorisation to infiltrate social networks etc.

    3. CCTV use of drones and helicopters with cameras – authorisation and oversight- safety?

    4. Review of disclosed collection of bulk personal data – legal gateways

    5. Enforced decryption – demand for security ‘keys’ using a ‘ladder of escalation’ – review of penalties for refusing.

    6. Five Eyes partnership – comparison of laws governing data content, authorisation, oversight, data retention, bulk collection, tracking methods, web logs and social plugins.

    7. Impact of encryption and anonymisation of communications (sender; recipient use of SSL/TLS)

    With thanks to Edward Snowden whose disclosures have resulted in GCHQ held accountable.

    Biggest shareholders in the UK are pension funds and insurance companies. If you have a private or company pension or a life insurance policy then it matters a great deal.

    Mary, you have little understanding of how and why Ambassadors are sometimes appointed. In this case, the clue is given by one little word in the above.

    “We are talking about Israel USA and UK carving a petro-state out of Syria on the pretext of removing the Assad dictator.

    We are talking about a human catastrophe of gigantic proportions, 12 million displaced persons.”

    This might seem a little cynical but I am cynical, and this golden mask of a goddess, allegedly discovered by ISIS, is one way they are laundering the House of Saud’s vast monetary wealth to fund mass murder of their fellow Muslims.

    This is only speculation but it may have been stolen from a museum during in the Iraq War. But it’s purpose to cynics is quite clear – murder on a huge scale.

    what a bliss to have no TV for four days… only then to find out that the global financial system is collapsing around our ears, haha, and all down to the speculating few.

    Now, I already mentioned this twice here, but the fear of being swamped by immigrants who help IDS with his bastardly agenda, has even this blog in cramps, unable to respond to demands of

    BRITAIN, CAN YOU HEAR US? YOUR BOYS BOMBED THE HELL OUT OF SYRIA AND LIBYA, NOW TAKE YOU SHARE OF THE HARDSHIP YOU CAUSED..

    And todays news is, that all extradition of Syrian refugees back to the ruins they come from, are canceled, that Germany has suspended the Dublin agreement as unworkable and that all Syrian refugees are welcome ‘to remain’ in Germany.

    Now I could write this again adding ‘due to the relentless bombing campaigns by NATO, Britain and US planes to be specific, as well as from Assads helicopter bombs, the countries who are creating these columns of refugees and migrants, but, who don’t want to deal with the horror and destitution they create, should be forced to accept their fair share of refugees.

    Why should the US and UK sit by watching the columns of helpless refugees they created, smarting at the efforts of other countries such as Germany and France?

    It is disgusting to watch every EU country help the victims that have been bombed out of Syria by the British and US air forces, whilst listening to the Daily Wail write about the attacks on asylum seekers in East Germany in glowing terms, how predictable and to the point.

    But listen to the decades long whining when their poor armed forces get hammered such as in the Falklands or in Helmand, what a pathetic non effort.

    Should there be a refugee percentage quota for EU countries? discuss please.
    What would Corbyn do? agree to a British minimum quota?

    Biggest shareholders in the UK are pension funds and insurance companies. If you have a private or company pension or a life insurance policy then it matters a great deal.

    That is interesting, because the At the end of 2012, and based on “beneficial” ownership, the Office of National Statistics indicated that individuals held 10.7% of shares listed on the LSE. That compares with 17.5% held by pension funds, insurance companies and other financial institutions.

    Life insurance is a scam, which dead needs any money other than the Chinese dead whom the smoke of the fake money (poorly photocopied denominations) burnt for them by their relatives.

    Which leads to another question;

    What are the accurate figures of the UK population in any private pension/company pension arrangements?

    that is not forgetting the earlier questions;

    Does anyone know the accurate figures of the UK population;
    a- Own Shares?
    b- Are a member of a political party?

    =====

    Mark Golding I trust you are aware of this;

    Mr Justice Hayden, sitting in London, said the girl, who can only be referred to as ‘B’, was suffering “psychological and emotional harm” through exposure to extremism of a kind similar to that seen in sex abuse cases.

    Her parents appeared to co-operate with police and social workers to stop her and her siblings accessing online terrorist propaganda.

    But in June this year counter-terrorism officers carried out a protracted search of the family home and discovered “a plethora of electronic devices”, including those belonging to the father, containing Islamic State material.

    The findings showed the parents had carried out “a consummately successful deception” of the authorities, the judge said.

    According to today’s Evening Standard (the nearly evicted) “Father-of-two Mr Hassaïne, 53, was paid “a pittance” as an informer for MI5 and Scotland Yard’s Special Branch, exposing Hamza’s extremist activities inside Finsbury Park mosque”. . . he also briefed French intel on the deliberate ploy of Londinistan of the previous decades (where UK hosted the terrorists of the world, provided they didn’t meddle here)

    A rather different spy is exposed in this weeks Newsweek, from WW2, who used to get his hands on de-ciphered military plaintexts – simply by asking! He was also trusted more than the Tudor-Hart Cam crew

  • Herbie

    Rest of the world owns most British shares, by quite a margin, and an increasingly margin.

    The names are:

    Jimmy Rothschild

    John Rothschild

    Jenny Rothschild

    Jeremy Rothschild

    Jane Rothschild

    June Rothschild

    Jack Rothschild

    etc

    All inhabiting the same PO Box in Tel Aviv.
