ONLY JUSY STARTING TO DISCUSS THIS - APPARENTLY!!??
Here is my prediction,
from back in January 2008!:-
The United
Kingdom? Scotland's Vital Role.
The fact is we
all get along quite well in the British Isles and we move around much more
these days and live in each others' countries, and generally there is no real
problem. Traditionally we still have our regional differences which
occasionally manifest themselves, usually during sporting events, but these
could be ignited into something more confrontational and extreme by those with
ulterior wicked or distructive intentions. Generally the British have worked
together very well in the recent past, facing the huge historical problems
placed before us. In fact it has been rather wonderful, but to some it may seem
that we British have done far too well over the last 200 years, and achieved
far too much, and that this situation cannot be allowed to continue!
Why exactly did
Blair and Co. devolve power to the regions on taking office? I do not remember
the subject being discussed much or in any great detail on the run up to that
election? Obviously, the people of Northern Ireland badly needed change of some
kind but the scale of the plan for an actual Scottish Parliament and Welsh
Assembly came as a total surprise to many ordinary people, after New Labour
obtained power ten years ago.
I believe they
are a diversion to split opinion across the UK and to awaken ancient, ugly,
tribal grievances, enabling Westminster and The City to get up to their
self-serving schemes while the distracted general population squabbles in
dismay over the fairness of prescription charges, tax and welfare, student fees
and the principle of North Sea oil.
See (a) for a recent
example of needless mischief-making by a smirking “lord,” stirring up the
sediment at the bottom of the pond. Expect much more of this kind of infantile
behaviour in the future, from those of privilege and in power. (If he has
only just discovered these verses then it does not say much for his education,
they were covered in my junior state-school music class! Along with certain
verses of Rule Brittania, and in some old sea-shanties that were fun to sing
but would now be non-PC. ) Trouble-making is very much part of the new
agenda, and there is a lot more at risk than just an old-fashioned patriotic
song from a different era!
SCOTLAND’S
VITAL ROLE
Why did Blair
recently disband the most world-famous Scottish regiments? Could the reason be
to encourage the Scots to resent the British Government?
Has it worked?
I believe that
certain people in our government, in banking, business and the establishment,
powerful people, secretly desire and relish the regional rivalries that are now
developing. In fact they are deliberately causing them. These Europhiles have
been very busy for a long time undermining the institution of the United
Kingdom. The UK has been a success for about three centuries but is now
obsolete and is being replaced by the EU which has been specifically developed
to facilitate the national and fiscal absorption of all European and
surrounding countries. Some interesting facts:
1) Scotland has
always been a very powerful and important country. Many are not aware that,
historically, Scotland has often lead in the creation of legislation which is
then introduced at a later time in the rest of Great Britain. This is an old,
established legal precedent. Not all law in our history has been passed first
in London and then imposed on Scotland.
An example
involves unpasteurised milk which is banned in Scotland but permitted in
England. Blair intended to simply bring English law into line with Scotland, on
becoming Prime Minister, and bring in a total ban. However, English dairy
farmers and their customers campaigned and Blair was forced to back down. The
precedent was there though, for Scotland to lead and for England to follow, and
he could have easily done this. It is nothing new, and could have been achieved
with little more than the proverbial stroke of a pen.
Traditionally,
the UK countries have some differing laws which have developed reflecting local
religion or custom. Two examples; you could not buy a drink in parts of Wales
on Sunday in the old days because all the pubs were shut. There are no abortion
clinics in Northern Ireland.
2) Mary Queen
of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie, are two famous examples of the many
historical, pre-UK, attempts of Scots striving to thwart the English with aid
from European countries i.e. France, Rome (the Vatican) and Spain.
3) Scottish
banks have printed their own banknotes for centuries.
Now continue
thinking along the lines of Scotland leading, and England following and just
bear with me here:
If, or when,
Scotland goes completely independent it will then deal with the EU in its own
right. The pressure to abandon Sterling and join the euro will become intense.
Many blinkered fools in Scotland, feeling tribal and possibly believing life is
just a game of football, will want to dump Sterling just to cheese off the
English, not realising or considering that this
a) may not be
in their own peoples’ best long-term interest and
b) may be exactly what the British Government and the other major political
parties have secretly desired and been planning for.
Joining the
euro will be marketed to young Scots as being their future and a fresh start,
shaking off stuffy old Britain. Older people will decline, and impressionable
younger people will be voting for, and will be elected to, the Scottish Parliament.
Nonsense like the oil issue will be argued over, as if the English people or
the Scots have ever or will ever own or benefit from it. Don't be so naive!
If they go for
it, England, Wales and N. Ireland will then have to change as well. We already
have Ireland and France with euros. If Scotland changes to the euro, all our
near neighbours will then be using the euro and Sterling really will no longer
be practical. Scotland will have achieved a very hollow victory which future
generations throughout the whole of the British Isles will deeply regret.
The English government of the day will be able to pretend total innocence and appear helpless in the winds of change, and people may never suspect that it was planned all along, over years, by those in power back-stage of the political scene. This is how the Europhile Establishment may be planning to introduce the euro into Great Britain because at the moment the idea is still very unpopular here.
It could happen. Why else would Blair have bothered?
Is it important? Does it really matter if we change to the euro?
