THE SILENCE OF THE LIB LAMBS

Great to see the FM on the Newsnet Scotland site endorsing and congratulating the people who have made it such a success, including me who is a regular contributor to their Paypal button. Thankyou Alex Salmond. It means that Newsnet Scotland has come of age and has filled the cyber vacuum created by the Media being totally unionist or English owned. Are we allowed to say English, I know some people are very twitchy about using the English word.

NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK was the title of an article in todays Sunday Mail by Mark Aitken on the dire performance of the present Secretary of State for Scotland. I cannot find it on their web site to link to it so will type it up instead.

"SCOTS secretary Michael Moore did not say a single word during a crucial two hour summit, we can reveal.
The Lib Dem MP stayed silent during the meeting with leaders of the devolved parliaments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
First Minister Alex Salmond was at the talks in Whitehall on Wedensday.
The meeting chaired by Nick clegg, included discussions on fuel prices, welfare reform, the economy, and Scotlands threeatened RAF bases. But insiders say Moore, MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh, and Selkirk, failed to contribute-even when the devastating effects of air base closures was discussed.
A senior Whitehall source said:"Hugely important issues for Scotland were discussed, but Michael Moore had nothing to say."
SNP MP Angus MacNeil said:"He might be an accidental Scottish Secretary but Moore needs to step up to the mark and start taking responsibility for Scotland. When he should have been calling for investment in Scotland he was as silent as a Callanish stone." A Scotland office spokesman yesterday admitted Moore was silent but insisted he remained "fully active across government on all Scottish issues." END.


If that is Moores definition of remaining fully active on all Scottish issues then God help us all. To me that article epitomises all that is wrong with this Union and Scotland's subservient place in it. Once these Unionist politicians are exposed to the democratic deficit that they can see exists in Westminster for the smaller nations of the unequal Union, they appear to become star struck and impotent with fear. The Scottish Office is no more than a propaganda unit as revealed in the latest Wiki leaks tiny.cc/pdqdy documents that show how Murphy used it for his own political ends, ably assisted by one Mr Middleton a civil servant who should be sacked in my humble opinion.

Critics demand Scotland Office is scrapped TWENTY staff are employed at the £6million-a-year Scotland Office to cope with just three letters a day. The astonishing revelation sparked calls for it to be scrapped as an irrelevant waste of cash. The Scotland Office occupies plush Dover House in Whitehall and is supposed to look after our interests down south. But its role has shrunk dramatically since devolution in 1999. We can reveal 20 staff employed to deal with mail replied to 1252 letters in 2006-2007 - just over one per member of staff every week. The letter scandal follows a series of damning reports on money-wasting at the department. Its 50 staff, who work between Edinburgh and Dover House, claimed £75,000 hotel expenses last year and another £8000 on hiring plants. Matthew Elliot, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "These figures show how little work the Scotland Office is doing at the same time as it is costing taxpayers an extortionate amount.

It was very evident in the 80s and early 90s how powerless and useless our so called Labour MPs were then as Thatcher raked her spurs along the flanks of Scotland. The only time the "feeble fifty" Labour MPs did anything of significance in Westminster during that time was when the disbandment of Strathclyde region was announced, the Labour MPs walked out in protest with Dewar assaulting the mace. The present holders of the Labour flag are even worse if that were possible.

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?

Thought you might like to read this letter to the editor of a British national newspaper. Ever notice how some people just seem to know how to write a letter?.

Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!

Written by a housewife, to her daily newspaper. This is one ticked off lady.
'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York Sept 112001 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London, and in downtown Manhattan , and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! you guessed it ........

I don't care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add:

'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. Our soldiers don't have that problem.'

I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this.

Only seven defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ
2. The British Soldier.
3. The Canadian Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The South African Soldier
6. The Ghurka Soldier
7. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 6 for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THEM.

AMEN!

GIVE THIS LADY A STANDING OVATION. SHE HAS INDEED TICKED ALL THE BOXES

Scot Independent.
