Happy St. Andrew’s Day, 30th November!

…..

Scots everywhere will raise a glass to their big day, and why not?

Despite attempts by ghastly separatists like Sturgeon to reinvent Scotland as a multicult mess…

….

….which sooner or later will come to grief, since younger Scots seem to have engrained instincts healthier than the haggis-bashing leftists of Sturgeon’s SNP.

Aug 17, 2018 · Almost two-thirds of Scottish teenagers think immigration levels should be cut or remain the same …

Yet this sensible attitude may get the youngsters into trouble, if they express their  wisdom to anyone other than anonymous pollsters. There’s a strong streak of censorious intolerance in the fake nationalism that Sturgeon embodies.

That came out loud and clear when, rather than challenge the views of American patriot Steve Bannon, she refused even to attend an event at which he was invited to speak.

Happy St. Andrew’s Day – Homage To Caledonia?

Like most non-Spaniards, I knew nothing of Catalonia until I read Orwell’s book, but after doing so, I was curious.

There are echoes of Scotland, a once-independent country absorbed into a larger one, but for a very long time there was no serious interest among Scots in separatism.

Even with the rise of the SNP there, most of its leaders have – arguably out of self-interest – refrained from making republican noises.

It should be noted, nevertheless, that the party’s activists, overwhelmingly leftists, are uncomfortable with the leadership’s tactical reticence.

…the loudest applause in the lively debate were for the republicans…. SNP conference: SNP prepare ground for dropping the Queen |

This is in contrast to the Catalans, whose anti-monarchist, almost childishly petty, gesture-politics…

….has infuriated Spaniards loyal to the Crown.

It may well be that royalists in Spain now see the secession of Catalonia as no bad thing, reducing the proportion of the electorate who are in favour of a republic.

This has echoes of the animosity aroused in England, where many people are as repelled as I am by that multicultist shrew Sturgeon…

======

…whose nagging strident voice is rarely put to good use.

She was at her worst during that famous debate when she attacked Nigel Farage’s sensible opposition to importing diseased aliens to bludge off the tax-funded National Health Service.

All brands of Briton are surely horrified by the SNP’s pro-crimmigrant policies, which are antithetical to the ‘nationalism’ the separatist party affects to espouse.

The SNP has repeatedly called for a more relaxed approach to asylum. They have opposed the enforced removal of failed asylum seekers and have pledged to close the Dungavel Detention Centre, the only one in Scotland.  http://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper/10.33n

As to any rational justification for the SNP’s Europhiliac obsessions…

…

…what kind of ‘nationalists’ can they be who seek to keep their country chained to a supranational entity infamous for its hostility to democratic participation in decision-making?

========

Most Brits, I think, still wish Scotland well.

It would be sad to wish it farewell.

 

Scots Today OK! But Aussies In Freaky Fremantle?

 St. Andrews Day, 30th November, so a suitable illustration, at least this year.

Given that ‘wee nyaff’ Sturgeon’s multicult leftism, by next year she may have dumped that St. Andrew’s Cross to avoid ‘offending’ all those ‘asylum’ aliens she’s got swarming into Scotland!

Elsewhere in Europe, we’ve heard such disrespectful demands already.

But at least I can’t imagine anyone of Scottish origins treating the 30th November with the blatant contempt evident in the antipodean regions of the globe….

Fremantle axes Australia Day celebrations for ‘culturally-inclusive alternative’

Predictably, almost, the Mayor of Fremantle is a former ‘sustainability professor’ who specialised in ‘climate change!

—

—

So no surprise Hizonna Brad Pettit is up to his neck in this grovel to’minorities,’  who these days, in a negation of democratic principle, get priority over the will of the majority.

“We believe moving away from this date was more culturally inclusive and more in line with Fremantle’s values.”

Australia Day “may not have the same implication for all Australians”, and the city wanted a “more inclusive” celebration.

Oh yeah?

The city?

• 

• Did Pettit hold a municipal referendum?

Not bloody likely.

Premier Barnett

======

But patriotic voices are being heard.

“It’s disloyal to our country, it’s disloyal to our state, and I think it’s disloyal to the community of Fremantle.”

Western Australia Premier Colin Barnett spoke sense and surely reflects most normal Aussie opinion.

“Australia Day is now a day for all Australians — whatever their background, wherever they were born — and I think any group that tries to detract from that does a disservice to our country and to our people, all of our people.”

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-27/colin-barnett-on-row-over-fremantle-delaying-australia-day/8061644

Even more tellingly, a prominent Aboriginal elder  has condemned Pettit’s pusillanimous assault on Australia Day. 

Dr. Robert Isaacs is a former head of the Australia Day Council, who has dismissed the pinko ploy as silly and out of step with the majority of the community.

“It [Australia Day] brings the community together, it brings the Australian people together and it celebrates the good this country has provided for everyone.”

Well, to Scots today, I say, enjoy your day!

oooo

And as for all the many nice Australians I know who read this blog…

Invite all your decent compatriots in Fremantle to celebrate Australia Day when it comes around…

…loudly and publicly, and show the world that prissy prat Pettit does NOT represent them.
