MOSSAD SUSPECTED OF BOMBING IN NORWAY

Police in Norway suspect the Israeli intelligence (?), service, MOSSAD, of carrying out a bombing in Oslo which was initially blamed on Islamists.

The Prime Minister's office appears to be the target.  It's thought the bombing may be an attempt to deflect attention away from the Zionist, Rupert Murdoch, who has been in the news all over Europe.

IS NOW THE TIME FOR INDEPENDENCE?

Should the new SNP Government now go for full independence?

You won't be surprised to hear me say yes.  Like it or not, Scots have always considered that Scotland is a separate nation from England.  In many ways like the opinion, that many Englishmen have, that England is a separate country from Scotland and shouldn't be a part of the EU.  I think the Scots are endured by many English.  They are fed shite about how Scotland is a drain on the English purse, when anyone with a modicum of intelligence can look at the GERS reports online and see that Scotland has been in surplus for many years.  Indeed, oil, a Scottish asset has floated the British Economy since the early 70s, a fact that is rarely mentioned.  Then we hear the crap about how the English bailed out the Scottish Banks, RBS and HBOS.  Well, these have been British companies, albeit with their HQs in Scotland, since 1707 and in any case the last time I looked, Halifax was not in Scotland.

Is there an economic case for independence?  Again I would say yes.  There is still some oil left in Scottish waters, so please, don't lets squander what's left.  We have 40% of all renewable potential in Europe with wave power going to be an important feature.  We should have control of these assets in Scotland, to be used for the good of the Scottish people, like they do in Norway.  Control of the seabed round Scotland should be our first priority.  At the moment that right belongs to the British Monarchy.  Osborne gave the Queen massive dividends from that source in his budget, (which was sneaked in so no-one noticed it), and I'm sure they don't need anymore money than they currently  have.

Politically, as the people of Scotland realise that an SNP Government is there to govern for Scotland and doesn't have one eye on their masters in London, they will realise the benefits of an independent nation.  The people of Scotland have the right to self determination in just the same way as the new Arab states do, so in my opinion now is the time to forge ahead to  independence.

BRITAIN STILL A SHIT PLACE TO LIVE!

Britain is still a shit place to live according to a new survey, ranking behind even Greece.  And  LOOK MR GRAY, Norway and Ireland, two of the countries in the 'arc of prosperity' are in the TOP FIVE!  How do you imagine that happened?  Oh yes, they're independent of Sweden and Britain, respectively! 

THE INDEPENDENT BUDGET REVIEW-WHY ARE WE CONTEMPLATING IT IN AN OIL RICH COUNTRY?

The INDEPENDENT BUDGET REVIEW was set up by the Scottish Government to consider options for future public expenditure.  Let's look at some of the main points:

• A cut in jobs by up to 60,000 by 2014
• A 2 year pay freeze and a review of pension arrangements
• No overriding presumption of protection for any services
• Council tax freeze discontinued
• All free and subsidised services in the Health Service including NHS eye examinations, personal and nursing care, reduction in prescription charges and concessionary travel should be curtailed.
• Scottish Water should be privatised
• Higher education should no longer be free

Now all these might sound like severe but necessary recommendations to pay for LABOUR'S FINANCIAL MESS, with the economy in it's worst state since the 2nd World War.  But consider this.  Scotland actually produces more oil than QATAR.  Scotland should be a rich country.  We have just discovered a new oil field, the CATCHER, which has reserves of 360 million barrels about 10 times the normal size of any Field discovered so far.  That is without the oil reserves in the Clyde and off the west coast which so far lay untapped.


But what do the SNP Government do.  They play into the Unionists' hands by pissing about with DEVOLUTION and whether we want a CALMAN or CALMAN PLUS, which anyone with any sense can see is a UNIONIST trap which will have Scotland keeping the UK economy afloat again, just as it has done since the 70s.  Meanwhile the people of Scotland will keep on voting Labour, falling further into the mire of poverty.  The Unionists are very happy to laugh at Alex Salmond's somewhat rash comments about the ARC OF PROSPERITY, before Labour's recession, but one of the countries in the Arc, was NORWAY, a country more akin to Scotland due to their oil wealth.  There's no recession in Norway.  Their old people don't freeze to death in the winter like they do here, despite it being colder and of course they had control of their own banks which weren't allowed to make risky investment decisions in foreign countries. 


The SNP should be shouting the INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE from the rooftops, instead of adopting this gradual process to full fiscal powers.  Many Independence supporters are getting fed up with this approach and instead of seizing the moment, if they are not very careful, it could lead to schisms amongst the Independence movement, when this should be the moment to press ahead to FULL INDEPENDENCE or at least FULL FISCAL CONTROL, with a shared agreement with England over things like defence.  A country with Scotland's wealth should be investing in it's infrastructure and people, not MAKING CUTS!

PENSIONERS FREEZE AS GAS PROFITS SOAR.

British Gas faces a backlash as it prepares to announce a 50 per cent surge in profits on the back of a winter of crippling energy bills.

The UK's largest supplier, with 15.7million customers, has made profits of more than £550million in the past year.


Thousands of elderly, meanwhile, have been unable to afford to keep warm during the coldest winter in 30 years.


So this is Scotland in 2010.  Thanks to Conservative, Labour and Labour/Libthingie's Governments, PENSIONERS ARE FREEZING TO DEATH IN AN ENERGY RICH COUNTRY, SCOTLAND.  It is nothing short of a NATIONAL DISGRACE!  And it doesn't happen in NORWAY, BTW.

Hmmm!  NORWAY and IRELAND. Aren't those two countries in the SNP ARC OF PROSPERITY, MR MURPHY?

A COMMENT FROM TORY CHAIRMAN'S BLOG

There follows a comment on Tory Chairman, Eric Pickle's blog on which most of the comments are criticising Cameron's backtracking on Europe.

Ok moaners, you have made your point, Go ahead and vote elsewhere and condemn the rest of the country to another disastrous five years of Mr Brown.  The Lisbon Treaty exists, ratified by every EU country including ours. Blame Brown not Cameron for this, including no referendum for our voters before we ratified it.  The issue of a future vote on withdrawing from the EU is another question needing probably a year of informed debate. I suspect most people would opt for the status quo rather than face an uncertain future of UK on its own. Comparisons with the Norway solution is wishful thinking. Norway has a population only the size of Birmingham and massive oil and gas reserves in the North Sea, plus hydo-electric power.

SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER COUNTRY I KNOW!

BRITAIN ONLY TWELTH IN WORLD LIFESTYLE LEAGUE

Britain has failed to make it into the top ten of a list of the world's most successful countries, according to a global survey of wealth and happiness.
The UK was placed 12th in a 'prosperity index' of 104 nations covering 90 per cent of the world's population, behind countries including the U.S., New Zealand and Australia.
Mediocre scores for education, health, domestic security and levels of personal freedom are dragging down our performance, researchers say.

Oh and look MR MURPHY, two of the countries in the axis of prosperity NORWAY and IRELAND are above us. Still never mind we beat FUCKING ICELAND!
