I declare this blog an EU referendum free zone. There are several reasons for this:
a) I gave my views in the broadest possible manner a couple of days ago.
b) I live in Edinburgh. I am entirely confident I shall be remaining in the EU, one way or another
c) I refuse to campaign alongside the Tories, even if other Tories are campaigning the other way
d) Incredibly, the appalling Will Straw has been appointed to head the Remain campaign, his sole qualification being that he is the child of the UK’s second most famous war criminal and shyster.
That is my last word on the subject till 24 June.
“If it’s anti-SNP it must be untrue. LOL”

Not so, but I and many others followed the antics of the unionist press for two and a half years running up to the Scottish referendum.
Lets just say the Daily Record and the Herald didn’t cover themselves in glory, infact even now they act against Scotland’s best interests.
You could not have known that Canspeccy unless you followed them and other unionist rags over the referendum period.
Au contraire US needs the UK in EU to meddle through its proxy and scupper any chance of a decent community
However those of conscience ought to vote to leave the EU as the “special clauses/status” is only the banksters setting up the EU for the perpetuation of their lawless conduct under the guise of deregulation. Not forgetting TTIP.
Furthermore the fact that the politicos have been whipping up the race hatred and xenophobia now they will reap the whirlwind as the masses vote to get out of Europe!!!
UK is out of EU regardless of the oligarchs wet dreams and the corporates wishes, whilst riding the dragon of hate none of the luminaries ever entertained it is a double edge sword!!!
“Lets just say the Daily Record and the Herald didn’t cover themselves in glory, infact even now they act against Scotland’s best interests.”
They act against the Nationalists interest, Nationalists have to realise they are not Scotland, they just think they are.
Someone advocating moving Scotland’s parliament to Dundee because they were one of the four, just four areas out of thirty two who voted for independence are not acting in Scotland’s best interests, just a very small part of it.
“Remarkably not one of our resident trolls or contrarians is prepared to defend the Straw appointment.”
You clearly have a personal animus against Jack Straw and his family – remember when you accused his son of being handed a safe Labour seat when it was in fact a Tory marginal – so I don’t think you are really qualified to give a dispassionate view on the qualities or otherwise to be involved in the Remain campaign. Personally, I just don’t know enough of his skills or otherwise for his current position, which is why I am not a position to express an opinion – but I don’t think it is fair to visit what you see as the sins of the father on his children.
“I think Edinburgh forfeited the right to be the capital in 2014.
On Independence let’s move the capital to Dundee.”
Perhaps one day the lowland Scots will realise that their historic allegiance lies with Northumbria rather than the Picts to the North!
@RoS
“Craig come June 23rd, if the vote is to leave the EU, we’ll need to campaign hard in your home town,”
Craig’s home towm is in Norfolk – perhaps we need to campaign in his home town before then.
Hold on there, you are an expert on zionistan but your knowledge of our fair lands is patently zealch!!!! Geordie lot are getting ready to join an independent Scotland and they are far lower than the Northumberland lot. By the time it is all finished England will be a billy no citizens left north of the Watford gap.

And as I said and you dodged on the other thread Fred, theres not one good argument where being dependent as to independent is better for a nations citizens.
It’s not a case of acting against nationalists interests, the unionist press want to keep the status quo, they don’t want a Scotland free to make its own decisions or set its own agendas, ask yourself why that is?
How can a nations people expect to fufil their potential when their government doesn’t control all the levers of policy.
@Tony_OPmoc
The latest book, which I have not read yet, but which is next to me has a great title. It was recommended by possibly a Russian as a very exciting true story.
I don’t think Arthur Koestler was referring to us English…but he may well have been at least partially referring to the French. It was written in English in England in 1941.
“Scum of The Earth”
A great story – which I am surprised has not been made into a movie, it really does have everything. Koestler’s great book “Darkness at Noon” should of course be required reading for many here. And before anyone tries to rubbish Koestler – I am aware of what he did during the rest of his life and offer no excuses.
Humza Yousaf ‘proud’ of Scots welcoming refugees
While the Scots are perfectly entitled to seek to merge their racial and cultural identity with that of the EU and to absorb unlimited numbers of foreigners with a religion that is quite alien to the Scottish tradition, the fraudulence of the SNP is evident in the party’s name: Its objectives are the antithesis of nationalist, and the end result will be, as in those other EU trivialities, the Baltic states, where the declared objective of the most philoprogenitive immigrant group is to genocide the indigenous people “by the womb, not the sword.”
I guess one thing one can say for this project is that the immigrants are a good deal smarter than the aging and reproductively failing population they are about to displace.
Fedup – go and look up the Kingdom of Northumbria – it predated Scotland and extended from what is now Lowland Scotland down into what is now Yorkshire. You might then wish to apologise – but I won’t hold my breath.
Canspecy piss off with your bigoted bollocks, go write in your own blog and and have a circle jerk with the other inbred self hating immigrants. “Genocide of indigenous people” did you write that one or did you have some help with it?
“Perhaps one day the lowland Scots will realise that their historic allegiance lies with Northumbria rather than the Picts to the North!”

The Picts and Druids were absorbed into into the Scots society, and many modern day Scots can trace their roots back to the Kingdom of Dal Riata.
Not Northumberland, infact much blood was shed in that area by the reivers on bothsides.
It is said in the very interesting book by George MacDonald Fraser called Steel Bonnets, “that if Jesus himself were in a ransack village theyd have cleaved him as well.”
There you go, with your ziotendencies looking for precedence and the historical claptrap. Who gives two shits about pre-dating bollocks? It is now that matters and people are sick of the right wing vermin ruining their lives and causing so much misery for them. But you would not know that, you are far too busy fighting the cause and reading up on the fairytale you have consumed as history.
RoS
Like Fedup you are not able to distinguish between modern day Northumberland and the Kingdom of Northumbria. You might also wish to note that genetic studies show very little if any difference between Geordies and Lowland Scots.
Fedup
You know you can get tablets for foaming at the mouth! Clearly you know now that what I was saying was historically correct hence the bluster – LOL.
“And as I said and you dodged on the other thread Fred, theres not one good argument where being dependent as to independent is better for a nations citizens.”
I don’t need to dodge anything, I can just tell it how it is.
We had the referendum, Scotland voted to remain part of the Union, that is how it is in the real world.
You really cannot comprehend that history matters not at all, when it comes to daily lives of people!!! You are so programmed and obtuse that you actually recoil against anyone suggesting as such and verily believe they are foaming at the mouth!!!!!!!
Your history is as important as it was for that little Austrian painter. He went so far as sending all manner of expeditions to go and validate the mythical bullshit. Your need for an anchor is telling of a very insecure disposition/psyche/identity in search of validation; historical, genetics, and all other manner of bollocks. Patently alien to you is we the people give no shits for that kind of claptrap!!!!!
I told you; you are an expert on zionistan and your awfully limited understanding of our fair lands/people is so obvious.
I’m more inclined to be In than Out but I am repelled by both Cameron and his pathetic ‘deal’ and will therefore probably spoil my ballot paper.
If the Outers had any backbone they would be calling for Cameron to resign now after his abysmal failure in Brussels.
I should of course said you can get tablets to stop foaming at the mouth – you might also wish to get something to develop that hidden sense of humour!
@Becky Cohen, I think you are confusing the wishful role of what many hoped that a united Europe would one day mean, with the declared role envisioned by the setting up of the UN; needless to say, both have failed; any chance that a united Europe could prevent conflict even in its own continent were blasted away by the encouragement & premature recognition by Germany & Austria for Croatia to seperate from Yugoslavia, and of course by the NATO 78 bombing of Yugoslavia; as long as NATO exists, Europe will never be free to pursue it’s own agenda or interests. As to the dangers of “creating artificial borders”, that’s seems rather ironic now, with so many borders being set-up within Europe itself to stop desperate refugees, not forgetting that UK has always opted out of the Schengen Agreement, so many borders in fact, that Europe is nicked named “Fortress Europe”, and we all know that borders, like war, are very good at killing people.

Scottish gov. took cabinet to Clydebank on 15/2/2016. Very good it was too.
@ Fedup:
genocide the indigenous people “by the womb, not the sword.”

Lovely example of the mentality of a modern liberal for whom hate speech is the coin of public discourse.
The bit about Islam conquering Europe “by the womb, not the sword” is not what I said but a direct quote of the chairman and head spokesman of Latvia’s Islamic Cultural Centre, better known as Riga Mosque, who said, to quote him more fully:
“Islam will replace Christianity in Europe just as Christianity replaced Paganism centuries ago, and it will conquer by womb rather than the sword to make Latvia an Islamic State.”
“Like Fedup you are not able to distinguish between modern day Northumberland and the Kingdom of Northumbria. You might also wish to note that genetic studies show very little if any difference between Geordies and Lowland Scots.”

Well RD I had a look at the Kingdom of Northumbria, and you are correct.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Northumbria
And yes it’s fascinating, but I would like to keep the topic in the modern era so to speak, it is far more relevant, to the matters at hand. When you start dipping into genetics all manner of links can be found.

Thank you for that, I must have missed that one, it’s good to see they’re still doing it. Hopefully it’s not just for the run up to May’s election.
Actually, Riga was christianised by the sword http://www.imperialteutonicorder.com/
The Head of the Riga mosque obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about, so why believe him on anything?

Strangely enough Slobbo bombing the shit out of Vukovar before the German and Austrian recognition of Croatia or the war crimes committed in Bosnia and Kosovo don’t get a mention in this alternativer version of history.

You should read Norman Davies book on disappearing countries – they are a lot more common than people might think, which is perhaps why nationalists everywhere should be more than a little careful as to how they define their nations – perhaps the inhabitants of Northumbria share rather more in common with each other than those from Edinburgh do with their Highland compatriots, which is of course where we came in on this subject.
Hate speech!!!!!!? Piss off is not hate speech it is an invitation to do one, make a vanishing act, and as in blow it out of your arse, or simply fuck off!!!
You have found the Latvian (centre of the Islamic world) Islamic cultural centre’s chairman in Riga whom having been miffed and pissed off is pontificating his opinion!!! But the hateful incorrigible tart that you are, you have bit the bait and are running with it, without mentioning the reason for the bitter words of the poor chairman?
Your usual hyperbole is only complimented with hyperbole of poor Muslim chap who has found himself amidst the Nazi bastards who parade with SS uniforms and are pretty upset Hitler lost the last war!!!
But you won’t say that, or mention it in any form, all you want is to incite hatred and cause racial strife/wars!!! That’s the raison d’etre for you to cope living the life of a self hating immigrant.
