    BBC Spread Unsubstantiated Anti-Orange Slurs 


    It’s very strange to read that in Scotland, ‘police have condemned “outbreaks of racist and sectarian singing” by some of those attending Orange Order processions in Glasgow

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-58608676

    I can remember talking to a prominent Scots Orangeman, back when I lived in The Old Country…

    .

    .

    …and how pleased he was that a parade he’d been part of had included a contingent of Ghanaians.

    There was no problem even entered his mind that his local band would be side by side with black African men.

    But perhaps ‘racist’ in the vocabulary of Police Scotland now has nothing to do with race?

    .

    .

    It’s hard to figure out, because the BBC fail to quote whatever shocking slogan or song it might be that got the rozzers’ knickers in a twist.

    To be frank, Police Scotland’s not an organisation one can much respect.

    Glasgow Cops Appease Pro-Crimmigrant Mob

    Their behaviour, as reported in local media, has been nothing short of despicable.

    As for ‘sectarian,’ well…

    Some rude remarks have been heard, from time to time, on or about the Twelfth of July, regarding the Bishop of Rome, ‘whom some call Pope.’

    Hmm!

    I rather liked the Polish Pope, who was instrumental in freeing his brave nation from the evil of communism.

    Yet I can see no reason at all not to heap insults on the current pontiff.

    .

    Who cares about the women and girls of Europe – crimmigrants come first!’…not the Argie’s actual words, but what they mean in practical terms. 

    Dope! “Prioritise Migrants’ Dignity Over National Security

    000000000000000000000000

    The Argie Dope is IMHO an S. O. B.

    One other thought occurs to me, on that ‘racist’ rubbish.

    .

    .

    Perhaps the cops took exception to comments from some Orange marchers about Eire and/or the significant element of its population whom I recently described as ‘morally vacuous cretins?’   

    A Grain Of Sense, Down South In Eire?

    Eire is an alien and hostile country, much as Nazi Germany once was.

    While it would be quite wrong to abuse individual Eire citizens…

    .

    .

    …just as it would have been wrong to blame individual Germans for Hitler’s misdeeds, patriotic Brits should be entitled to disaparage such a bad neighbour, and the thousands of its citizens who vote Sinn Fein.

    .

    Legitimate disparagement of a known enemy is NOT ‘racist!’

    Scots’ Decision – Vengeful Separatism Or British Freedom! 


    A fine sunny morning here in Jakarta!

    But the future for freedom if the separatists win on Thursday looks pretty bleak, if prominent SNP spokesman Jim Sillars is to be believed.

    A former Labour MP who jumped ship, his vow of vengeance against those opposed to breaking up Britain showed Scots the Stalinoid face that WILL rule in Edinburgh if the vote this week goes the wrong way. SNP’s Jim Sillars threatens BP with nationalisation

    Salmond has distanced himself from his more candid comrade. Yet Salmond himself, of course, was once, in healthier days, expelled from the SNP for far-left republican agitation.

    But expropriation of businesses as an act of political retribution is hardly the only darkness visible behind the leer.

    With Salmond’s own unequivocal ambition to Obamanise immigration, we know for sure that a ‘yes’ result will usher in an era of border guards  patrolling the vicinity of Hadrian’s Wall for the first time for centuries, as undesirable aliens will otherwise have unimpeded access to the British tax-trough.

    But let’s not be pessimistic. Many Scottish hearts beat loyal and true still.

    Some fifteen thousand Orangemen and women and children marched through Edinburgh on Saturday, in a rare display of unionist fervour, an impressive contrast to the dry-as-dust economic arguments that have comprised much of the ‘Better Together’ campaign, and to Cameron’s belated crocodile tears.

    Scotland, like Ulster and Wales, are proudly British, and rightly proud – together our ancestors built the greatest force for good the world has ever seen, the British Empire.

    There would be no Canada, no Australia, no NZ, had that great enterprise never happened – and that common heritage of achievement is not forgotten.

    The wee Scots lassies, below, on their big day out in Edinburgh yesterday, show a future promise SO much brighter than Sillar’s and Salmond’s sinister schemes.

      It’s big news in Canada, Ross, for if Scotland achieves independence, many Quebec separatists see the same for Quebec. I believe, like you I think, that in both cases the prospective independent states are better off remaining with the successful whole country. The UK is what it is with its great achievements that you mention because Scotland was part of it. Canada is similarly the great country it is because Quebec is part of it. My sincere hope is that voters in Scotland wisely vote “NO” to independence and remain part of the UK and loyal to the Crown.

      All romanticism aside about a once useful Union, the Crown and all that, what matters is today and the future. Apparently many Scots don’t feel British. One could ask why is that? Whatever the outcome it will be interesting to see if London dares to investigate why half of the Scots don’t care about the UK, not with a shameful last minute offer of more autonomy but with a honest approach with being humble and listening.

      I think, Lairedion, you are on the mark with that about the ‘more autonomy,’ but we will find out how many feel British tomorrow afternoon sometime.
      British party politicans have done very little to make any of us feel British, all the multicultural multi-identity instead of the things that unite us, and some of those are the Crown, and the Union Flag.
      These are not “romanticism” as you call them but what being a country really means, not local government autonomy or taxes.
      I agree with Ross, those Orange marchers were the first show of the real good reasons for staying together – pride in our British achievements and our history.
      PS I am not an Orange member either.
