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.

While Blair will bear the brunt of the report’s criticism, one source said it would suit the former prime minister to see a wide range of targets blamed when it is published.
It has been assumed that Chilcot would concentrate on Blair and his closest advisers in Downing Street. However, the Guardian understands the inquiry intends to criticise a much bigger circle of ministers and officials, including Jack Straw, foreign secretary at the time of the Iraq invasion in 2003.

Another Conspiracy Theory as “astute” as the one about Putin being bent on World Conquest ! 😀
This is interesting, Torquemada Saadi finishes interrogating me, with repeating the same questions over and again, finally delivering a soliloquy of denunciations which got deleted (villager’s observation of “pendulum has swung” was a revelation indeed). Then Macky is targeted and denounced for being a liar, and a dissembling poopy pants.
While Jon is jumping to engage amoshubbbasbara until KWON puts an end to the charade by his shrewed observation.
Meanwhile the self confessed equal opportunity racist masquerading as a “Muslim” joins in with his pet hatreds denouncing me.
However the questions that rattled the keyboard warriors en mass somehow seem to have been pushed to the back. Taking a leaf out of the Torquemada Saadi how to debate manual;
Does anyone know the accurate figures of the UK population;
a- Own Shares?
b- Are a member of a political party?
c- Who have private or company pension plan?
PS as per the statistics; if one fifth of the UK population is born outside of the UK is it not time that our “democratic governments” of various shades stopped actively promoting “latent racism” by blaming the immigrants and “Muslims” for all the ills of the world?

” Human beings are not vemin. They have loved ones and a life to live. Target govrenments not individuals. Please.”
Surely that’s the point, they do have loved ones and yet they are not able to identify with the people whose loved ones they are about to kill. Israel has nothing to fear from Syria and yet they are constantly interfering with their neighbours on the basis of religion.
Al Qaida and Daesh, who Israel is supporting in the Syrian war, through their takfiri Islam which the zionists taught them, also fail to identify with their Sunni Muslim brothers in the Syrian Republican Army as human beings.
Talk about planks in eyes. Muslims are forbidden to fight for the Taghut/dictators, so who is the bigger dictator David Cameron Netanyahu and Obama or Assad and Putin.
Russia only attacked Grozny because it correctly recognised that Chechnya was being used by the USA Taghut no. 1. Political Islam always thinks that things done in secret don’t come into the equation, a very strange philosophy for people whose religion teaches them that God is all-seeing!

All I said about you is that you think it is wrong to put any blame for wars that are wrecking the world onto the people who have claimed asylum here, even though many of them were deeply involved with the same CIA that is currently making those wars, and the asylum residents are still sharing their local knowledge with them.
If you lived inside the Muslim community you would experience the racism they have for us English people. They are constantly trying to put the square peg of historical British persecution into the round hole of UK citizens, While in fact the British could not have persecuted thair predecessors without being betrayed by their own countrymen and fellow Muslims.
You seem to have a blind spot about this. I’ve tried many times in the past to get my point across but you refuse to take it in.

The strange death of British satire
Satire today is dominated by a narrow elite. No longer a threat to authority, it is a means for the establishment to protect itself.

I seem to remember that John Pilger said that the killers in the British political system come from public schools.
Sorry, that should have been on An Apology with the other detritus of the Blair project. Where it is in context.
Piss off, Macky. He wants the FSU without the F. He’s said so himself. And the extension is yours, not mine.
While I’m feeding the morons, here’s the last lump of stale black bread in the bag for today:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2015/08/25/kremlin-censors-rush-to-erase-inadvertent-release-of-russian-casualties-in-east-ukraine/
The Delovaya zhizn inadvertent (or deliberate?) revelation of more than two thousand combat deaths in east Ukraine not only destroys the Putin myth of a small number of deaths of Russian patriots defending Russians in Ukraine from neo-Nazi extremists but also demolishes Putin’s cover story that no “active” member of the Russian armed forces is or has been in Ukraine. According to Putin, if there are Russian fighters in Ukraine, they had resigned and gone as volunteers. Note that contract fighters are paid for each day in the combat zone. In Russian military jargon, a contract soldier (kontraktnik) contracts to serve a specific period of time in the military (usually three years) in return for compensation and other benefits. The clause on payment for contract soldiers blows a huge hole through the cover story.
The Russian censors have removed the incriminating information. The Kremlin will claim that the webcached material is a forgery. The figures, however, make sense and confirm what should be obvious to all: Russian troops are in east Ukraine and are being supplied with heavy weapons by Russia. Deadly battles–such as those at Donetsk Airport and Debaltseve–have resulted in heavy casualties on each side. We also know how the Russian dead are secretly transported back to Russia for furtive burials.
Cue furious quacking…

What an intelligent piece of writing from Asa Winstanley on Blair’s motives with Hamas.
Blair is shortly going to find himself in an exposed position if Corbyn becomes leader of New Labour. His initiative in Northern Ireland was a massive cover-up of UK sponsorship of terrorism. Corbyn is going to blow the lid on Blair’s setting the time bomb for Islamic State in Iraq.
While we were marching in London in 2003 it was obvious that the time bomb of repression existed under Saddam Hussain. Blair’s excuse will be that his job was just to set the bomb ticking, not actually supply and plant the bomb.

I was not questioning the politics of the article just the language used to describe the dead pilot. People join the military for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes they regret it. Sometimes they regret it later and try to make amends. To call the dead pilot vermin is out of order. He, assuming it was a he, is another victim of the fruitless wars perpetrated by Netanyahu. What will be of more importance to that mass murderer and money-lover is the loss of an aircraft. If anyone is vermin it is Netanyahu.
Nearly 85,000 signatures now on the petition I posted at 1:52 pm yesterday calling for Netanyahu’s arrest.
Ukrainian filmmaker Sentenced To 20 Years In Russian Prison

The rule of law Putin style. Mr Goss might wish to note that even St Ken Loach, his fellow Left Unity member and Labour Party infiltrator believes that the sentence of Oleg Sentsov is unjustified.
Be very careful of the pro-fascist The Interpreter online magazine linked by Resident Dissident.
I got a message about checking the computer idea and please wait before being directed to the site. The same thing happened when I closed it. I will not be linking to this site again.

As to the content I don’t think any independent film-maker should be imprisoned. Whether Oleg Sentsov is innocent of the charges of which he has been convicted I do not know. Ken Loach, as a film producer, is quite in order showing solidarity with a fellow film maker but I looked briefly through the tweets of support and second on the list was the US Ambassador who engineered the Maidan coup, Geoffrey Pyatt. Speaks volumes to me.

Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin talks of outside forces playing up ethnic tensions to “destabilise” Crimea.
Doesn’t say they don’t exist, though.
Meanwhile, evidence of extreme “Public Relations” is becoming clear, the Geneva Conventions against Public Relations and the more specific international conventions against PR have obviously been flaunted since 2002 by the illegal use of PR {PR due to stress-positions, water-based-PR, sleep-dePRivation etc.} then lying to the public about the blatant use of PR. (ECtHR found Poland also complicit in illegal use of PR)

Beating the crap out of someone and then blaming them for being a noisy nuisance is the kind of the trick the equal opportunity racist masquerading as a “Muslim”, is good at.
No one will notice the slight of hand “conclusions” because as we all know poopy pants Muslims are made out of puppy dogs’ tails!
Needless to point out that if you lived inside a Muslim community you will notice the appalling racist treatment of this large Minority by the so called “English people” who are busy killing them, kicking them, spitting on them, calling them, and reminding them 24/7 they are not welcome here and ought to piss off and go back to whence they came from!
However their (The Muslims) slightest reaction to their appalling treatment at the hands of the so called “English people” is then used in evidence as their racist and bigoted attitudes towards their “host nation”! Gayiane or whatever is only interested in Muslim Bashing, because he is a “Muslim”. He not only attacks them for being a Muslim, but also for being a supine Muslims by not attacking the other Muslims!
Perhaps RD & Ba,al can get their put their heads together & come up with an answer as to why in response to others here taking issue with their take on the Ukraine situation, and the resulting stand-off between the West & Russia, their linkings to articles on every negative thing they can find about Putin or Russia, is of any relevance ?! It really is troll-like mentality to think that because somebody criticises the West actions in Ukraine or towards Russia in general, it always means they support every bad thing Putin/Russia does. Sadly this seems to be the level of debate on this blog, started of course by Craig himself.
If they want to trade cases of people being locked up for dubious terrorism charges, somehow I don’t think Russia is unique, nor even top of that particular issue, nor afaik does it operative an extra-suicidal drone assassination, nor operates Black Hole sites, where people are tortured to death, nor has it recently wrecked several countries back to the stone age.
@John Goss, you are right to be wary of RD’s linked Site (as always!); it’s self-published by a New York based “think tank” called the “Institute of Modern Russia”, and it’s main claim to fame is its cooperation with that notorious & farcical anti-Russian propaganda outfit called “Bellingcat”, over the dubious release of this photo issue;
