Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..

THE APPROACHING PERFECT STORM

One of my good friends Brian Kelly succinctly warned of the impending “Danger! Danger!”.

The subject of my following narrative is the D.Cameron recent pressure on his ministers to adopt a more
“AGGRESSIVE” attitude to the S.N.P.(See the Independent 25th September)

There is no doubt in my mind that the coming campaign will represent the most vital period in our country’s
Modern history. We are all aware of the motivation behind Cameron’s “Declaration of War”, it is born out of
Desperation at the prospect of the cessation of the “Flow” of Oil, Gas, Electricity and future water; also Scotland’s
Superior Green Energy resources (Refer to Al Gore’s speech in Edinburgh report in Daily Record 28th September).

The very foundation of the strategy Cameron and his lackeys, including the carpetbaggers from north of the border,
Will be built on a fabric of “LIES and DECEIT” which will be equal to the calumny perpetrated on us by the
“McCrone Report”. They will resort to every trick in the book (and then some).

In my location, it is tragic that I am in no position to make a physical contribution to the cause. However I feel that
Suggesting constructive prepositions may aid in balancing out this dire situation. One of my proposals I outline as
Follows. It is my “Humble” opinion that the most effective weapons we have in our armoury is the “OIL OF
SCOTAND LEAFLET”; which graphically sets out all the acts of chicanery enacted by the English Establishment.
The present membership of the S.N.P.is more than 17, 000, consider the impact if each of these members (at little cost)
Prints off 100 copies of the leaflet, and then distributes them among local businesses, friends and colleagues. By my
Calculations the result would be a minimum of one million seven hundred thousand copies in circulation.

Another of my very good friends David Birse posted a wee anecdote about the small town of Dundee in New York State
Which recently held its annual Highland Games? Statistically the attendance was almost equivalent to the population
Of the town. The moral of this little account is to demonstrate the “NATIONWIDE AMERICAN ENTHUISASM”
For all things Scottish, and their positive approach to the cultural heritage of Scotland. The reason I draw your attention
To this scenario is related to another idea I recently suggested. The “FACT” is that as a result of the people of our
Country possessing a natural proclivity to explore, as well as having been forcibly expelled from their homeland,
There are Scottish Institutions of some category; in almost every country on the planet. My concept was quite simple,
Make contact with the management of theses organizations to request that they provide their moral support for our
Independence.

My reasoning on the International situation is that Alex and the Government will be somewhat beleaguered, with
The combined power of the three major parties, with the complicity of a hostile media ranged against them. They
Are going to require all the righteous patronage from each and every quarter. Not that we underrate the intellectual
Fighting qualities of Alex and his great Government.

I would like to finish with the following quotation:-“The chances that a man (A PARTY-MY WORDS) is in the
Right increase geometrically by the vigour with which others are trying to prove him (THEM) wrong.

p.s.I would just like to stress that I wish with all my heart and soul that I was in “Another Place”to provide my
assistance to all my good friends “BACK HOME” DAVID lol

FUTURE TRADE FACILTIES IN SCOTLAND

An E.B.C.report this morning (28th.Sept) disclosed the information of the extension to the Felixstowe deep
Water container port, which has been upgraded, at a cost of one billion pounds: in order that it can dock
The latest in the massive container ships, due to be launched in two years time.

This issue raises the very important question on Scotland’s port facilities as an Independent Nation? The
Port of Grange mouth was further developed in 2006, the question being, as is the case for Leith and Rosyth;
Will they remain in their inferior conditions as secondary to similar ports south of the border? The obvious
Consequences of this scenario will be that our trading position will be reliant to a certain extent on the retention
Of transporting our imports/exports through the superior ports in a “FOREIGN COUNTRY”. Who knows what
The consequent levies will be????

An important subject to ponder over!

Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..

A different nation for a different people

It’s “almost” all over! Whilst I feel deep sympathy for the good “TRUE SCOTS” who fought for a DEMOCRATIC
solution to the Nation’s problems, representing the S.N.P.in this election. They may and should seek solace in the
fact that the final result will inevitably lead to the Party’s advantage in the long term.
I have stressed in the past that I am no expert on psychology; this does not prevent me from presenting my own
views on the reasons for the shambolic outcome of this event as follows.
The first and most obvious conclusion to draw is that in the words of David Cameron, an oft quoted slogan in
his election campaign; “Britain is Broken!” This result has confirmed what the “Hundreds of Thousands” of
S.N.P.supporters have been saying for years, the concept of a United Kingdom is a figment of the medias
imagination. We are now faced with the prospect of the Scottish people being governed from Westminster
by an administration in which only approximately 15% of the electorate voted for “and they have the
Effrontery to call this a “Democracy”. I would add a certain amount of sympathy for the voters of “Middle
England” who find themselves in the position of possibly having to contend with a “Rainbow Coalition”,
consisting of every party with the exception of the one they voted for.
Its all over, the fat lady has rendered a sad lament for the people of Scotland. As I state on my Facebook wall,
thanks to the pro-union element of the Scottish electorate the Nation will be governed from London by an
administration which in no way reflects the judgement of the Scottish people! The front page of the English
edition of the Daily Express exemplifies the attitude of the media down here; it displays a full page photograph
of David Cameron with his wife, in the doorway of No.10 with the caption “Britain Expects” and we all know
the origin of this but a different version(England Expects).. I understand they have produced an acronym for the new Administration,
naming it the “Con-Dem Government”. It takes little imagination to re-invent this to read “Con-Dem-Nation;
an apt description of the pro-union voters of Scotland. Already it has been agreed by the Lib-Dems that King
(Cameron) Neptune armed with his Trident will still be sailing up and down the Clyde aboard the Nuclear
submarines. Just a quick question “Who the h_ _ _ is Danny Alexander????”.

I will now introduce my humble attempt at applying psychology to the scenario.
The first part of this analysis concerns the Matthew Wright programme on Channel 5, Mr.Wright had apparently
paid a visit to Scotland. He informed his audience that his foray into Scotland felt to him as though he was in
“A Different Country”. I could have “Educated” him in the reality of the situation, by pointing out that he had
crossed a border into a country with a “Different Culture”.

I have made it clear in my earlier communications including my blog, that I am no Anglophobe: having lived in
England for many years. During this time I have shared countless conversations with “good” English people,
The one prevailing feature of these discussions is how they were impressed by the difference they observed in the
cultural life and outstanding hospitality they experienced in their visits to Scotland.

Taken together my two examples above highlight the simple “fact” that the media oriented principle of being
“British & Britishness”are not a concept shared by the peoples of Scotland and England.

There is a third sequence of events which neatly bind in with the theme of my narrative. This was an occurrence
of national significance, in fact the media sensationalized into what was termed the “Dianagate”scandal. For a
while even the media sycophant’s cast doubt on the survival of the English monarchy. At the height of the sordid
exposition of (not so bonnie) Charlie’s, meandering; it was decided to take a poll on the popularity of Royalty.
The actual poll was split into the four countries that make up the U.K.(Excuse my bad language!).It comprised a
simple Yes or No answer----“Do you want the Monarchy terminated?” The results revealed that the only Nation
voting yes was Scotland.

I firmly believe that there is no question about the jury being out on the subject of the cultural distinction between
the Scottish and English peoples. The purpose of this exercise is to expose these distinctions, not in the sense of a
superior Scotland; I have made it clear on occasion that I deplore any Nationalistic Jingoism or Xenophobia.

The Wikipedia web entry describes the S.N.P.as a party with a “Centre-Left Philosophy”, which brings them more
in line with the ideology of the Labour Party. As a result of this alignment the Scottish electorate (in modern times)
have consistently voted for parties with left-wing tendencies. Of course there was the “Aberration” of 1955 where
the Tories won a majority of seats. Political analysts concluded that the strength of the Tory vote had (unfortunate)
sectarian connotations, with the Church of Scotland exerting a degree of Protestant loyalism, even in the working
class. The “Dogma” of sectarianism should be replaced (as a priority) by a Patriotic Scottishness.

In my conclusion I feel that I have succeeded in establishing the “Fact” that Scottish political opinions are innately
linked.to the compassionate qualities evinced by the people of the Nation.

Finally the result of this election has presented the S.N.P.with the most propitious opportunity to move the Nation
forward on the road to Full Independence. One of my Facebook friends (Charlie Reid) has proposed a protest
rally on behalf of Independence, I would advocate something more in the line of a series of these events, the
first to be staged at the by-election in Kirkcaldy. I would hope that there would be strong representation from
“Young Scots for Independence”. For too long our Nation has accepted subjugation as part of life.
TIME TO STAND UP (MARCH) AND BE COUNTED!

David Straiton.

This is obviously an old posting of mine, unfortunately the proposed march was cancelled; through no fault of
Charlie’s who devoted every sinew of his being to make it a success. We now have another march to look forward to
Next year; with the prospect of a better outcome. I felt that it was worthwhile regenerating this, as the facts I have quoted are as pertinent today as they were then” not so long ago”.

(GREAT) ARROGANCE AND (GREAT) PATRONIZATION

I bet Alex is having a quiet laugh at the sight of David Cameron prancing and preening himself on the world
Stage, in his efforts to put the “Great” back in Britain. He knows full well that there is no need for him to follow
Suit, as our country is world renowned without this entire “Pathetic” propaganda induced endeavour as evinced by
Cameron. The very principle behind the English Government’s scheme. is in actual fact both insulting and patronizing
To the rest of the world. As is the case for Scotland, other countries such as France, Greece and Italy; who can match
The “GREAT BRITISH (ENGLISH)”in cultural heritage; have no need to resort to a cap in hand attitude to persuade people to visit and trade with their country. I did hear a part of the Government’s prepared agenda extolling the virtues
Of “Winston Churchill &William Shakespeare” which will lead to the usual conclusion, which we are all well aware of, that the rest of the combined Nations (NOT FOR MUCH LONGER!) will be allocated a small mention as if in afterthought.

On the subject of “ARROGANCE”, Headlined in today’s English Daily Mail:-Cameron puts full blame on America
And the European Union for the current financial crisis.” ENOUGH SAID!!!!”

AN ANTI-INDEPENDENCE LINK

This morning I received a message from several of my good friends referring me to this new link. which
Seems to have appeared overnight details below:-
“Vote NO to Scottish Independence and save the Union”.
The first thing that struck me upon reading the details was the astonishing fact that for a new site it already registers almost 2,000 members. Now as most of my wonderful friends are aware of, I am a total novice as far as the complexities
of this infernal machine goes. I would therefore bow to my techno-wizard friends and ask them what I feel is a pertinent question; is there a way to check the legitimacy of the site also details of the originators?,

Further to the above, if my friends have proven the validity of this load of garbage, what a wonderful target area it
Opens up for us. For instance, is there a possibility of transferring the whole of the “Oil of Scotland” site across to
This one? As my great new friend of today Robert Mclaren has pointed out we must be polite with our responses;
In other words we must restrain ourselves from gross insulting language, to do so would only degrade ourselves to
Their level of intelligence (or intellect.)

My good friends keep in mind two important factors “They are definitely on the losing side!”. Also “Forgive them
For they know not what they do!”.

THEIR SHOULD BE A SCOTTISH PUBLIC OUTCRY

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT:-Angus MacNeil asked a question regarding a poll that revealed that 68%
Of Scots wanted oil revenue to be used to reduce their petrol bills. This was greeted by general raucous
Laughter from the assembled “DISHONORABLE”members in the chamber. David Cameron’s answer was
“ask a silly question, you get a silly answer”.

I like the posting by my good friend who actually overheard a prominent intelligent and respected journalist say
“With results like the S.N.P.the had, ignore them at your peril”.

Now I certainly would not like plumb the depths of Cameron’s apparent lack of basic courtesy, howver I would
Hope that this type of “LOW-LIFE” behaviour is released by word of mouth to as many people in Scotland as
Possible.This was not just an insult to a gentleman like Angus, it was an insult (YET AGAIN) to the whole Nation
Of Scotland.

SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!

According to all the recent polls the S.N.P.is storming ahead in popularity with the Scottish electorate.
Even the “Fanatical”pro-union Express published the results of a poll which revealed that a massive 60%
Of Scots have predicted that Independence would transpire in their life-time. It is perfectly clear that the
Momentum is growing toward the final confrontation with Westminster on the subject of our Independence.
“WE” will in the end disprove the paradox of the “Irresistible force meeting an Immovable object”. I feel
that the result of all the campaigning on this medium with all my wonderful friends both “BACK HOME”
and around the world is sending out a positive “Pro-Independence” message to the disingenuous opposition.

A PERSONAL SHOPPING LIST.

The following represents my personal “Legislative”shopping list for a future majority S.N.P.Government.
Whilst appreciating the obvious priority in honouring the commitment to manifesto pledges,these are equally
Important on the march to full Independence.

1:- It is wonderful news that Alex has pledged to “Take the War” to Westminster on the subject of
“SCOTLAND`S OIL”.However I would urge the party to take it a further stage, by commissioning a full
public inquiry into the reasons for the country losing its “Lawful Right”to prosper from the enormous
revenue engendered from North Sea oil & Gas.There is no doubt in my mind that a large proportion of
the electorate are blissfully unaware of the “McCrone Report”and also the”ILLEGAL”move of the Nation`s
Maritime Borders in 1999.With the institution of a public inquiry even the traitorous Scottish Media would
Have to sit up and take notice!

2:- Make it Mandatory for Scottish flags to be flown at “ALL”public buildings including the following:-
Military establishments, Edinburgh castle,the lifeboat service which at present comprises the flag of St.George
With a Union Rag in the top left hand corner.

3:-An “Independent”Scottish Broadcasting Corporation.

4:-A Scottish Lottery with a “Fairer”prize winning system.This to obviate the contributions Scottish people are making towards The English Olympics 2012.

5:-To me this one predominates alongside the oil situation.A Mandatory act to be passed to completely eradicate all
references to the facile term United Kingdom from all official documents and stationery etc..

6:-A long overdue Referendum on Scotland`s link with the “ENGLISH MONARCHY”In the past records will show
that a majority of Scots voted to sever this anachronistic link.

7:-Sports including athletics.I am all in favour of our country being represented by true accredited Scots.It is an unfortunate fact that many persons speaking with a Scottish accent choose to represent another country (G.B.)
My conception of this is that these people should be “Totally Banned”from representing Scotland,I would far rather see
A team (or other) of “TRUE”Scots lose at their chosen sport.

8:-With reference to my item No.5 for too long our children have been educated (BRAIN-WASHED) into thinking
English/British,This must be treated as a priority, after all they represent our country’s future, our education system
Has to change in order to facilitate the complete eradication of the terms of reference G.B./UK.;in other words the
Teaching must be completely adapted to engender our children to “THINK SCOTTISH NOT BRITISH.”.

THIEVES(OR CHEATERS) NEVER PROSPER

There are two said gentlemen who are currently making sensational headlines in the media, the first is Gordon
Brown (does anyone remember him?) the second is Alistair Darling. In reference to my title they are candidates
For proving that the adage is a myth. Personally I feel so much contempt for both of them, they can challenge each
Other to a duel without my worries about the outcome. They can combine to compose a violin concerto as a result
Of their behaviour during their tenure of office in the English Government. On an examination of their record they conspired to “FIDDLE” as their country (alleged) was robbed of 6,000 square miles of its legal territorial waters.
They also “FIIDLED”as they made their illicit expenses claims. Finally they “FIDDLED” as their country
(SCOTLAND) suffered an apoplectic financial disaster.

When scrutinising the results of the English Parliament election of 2010 and comparing them with the Scottish
Election this year, the statistics give a true reflection on the voting patterns of the Scottish electorate for the two
Respective Parliaments, In the English election both Brown and Darling were voted back in with increased majorities.Oviously a tactical ploy to keep the Tories out of power; why else would a sensible public act in such an outrageous manner???? A direct constituency comparison is impossible owing to the differing arrangements of the
Constituencies for the two elections.
However based on a rough analysis one can construe the emergence of a rough pattern. First if we look
At the Brown situation, Kirkcaldy was a complete triumph for the S.N.P.In the case of Cowdenbeath we find that the S.N.P.dramatically reduced the Labour majority to just over a thousand. Thus we can establish the variations explicit
In the differing elections, revealing a phenomenal swing to the S.N.P. in the constituent parts of Brown’s “SAFE SEAT”.
Synonymous with this the picture in Darling’s “SAFE SEAT” resembles that of Brown`s.The main dissimilarity in comparing the two scenarios is that the S.N.P.in this year’s election turned almost the whole of Edinburgh into their
Own stronghold, wiping out what had previously been almost exclusive territory of the Lib-Dems.Another factor in
This complicated equation is that the voters of Darling’s constituency consistently voted for Labour in the Westminster
Elections, with a dramatic swing to the Lib-Dems for the Scottish Parliament in 2007.

In the final analysis what I have endeavoured to expose is a situation in which if I were a strategist for long term
Planning I would indulge in the maximum publicity for the content of Darling’s book, with emphasis on the quarrelling
Of the “TWO CHILDREN!” The objective is plain to see in Scottish terms why on earth should we vote for two individuals who apparently put their selfish interests ahead of working for the good of Scotland? In relation to the tremendous result in Inverclyde we can conclude that there is “NO SAFE SEAT” for Labour, including these two
“TRAITORS” who never batted an eyelid as they sold their country out. There is every chance given the circumstances that the next election for Westminster will be either penultimate or hopefully the last, therefore the party must aim for
the maximum representation at Westminster.

A CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS
Or A TALE OF ESQUIMAX (ESKIMO) AND THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
A SHORT DRAMA PRODUCED IN 1909.


I find it interesting that, with a bit of imagination; you can ascribe a link in any subject or topic in the field of
Writing and adapt it for the purpose of providing amusement or something more serious for the readers. Take the
Above titles as an example, I discovered a positive link to an article I have recently written about on my profile,
The subject of which (coincidentally) was a published article by “England Calling” which can obviously
be attributed to the first part of the heading (as far as Scots are concerned.) When you consider the
Second part, the Nation of England is undergoing the Setting of the “Midnight Sun” on the last vestiges of their
Old Empire. So, taken as a whole, the English are voicing their sheer frustration at the prospect of being completely
“Frozen Out” by their erstwhile, what they regard as hostile neighbours from hell; the S.N.P.and their massive
following.

The theme of my following narrative is one of a far more serious nature As stated on my profile posting, the
Message from England Calling states quite specifically that, if Cameron is still in power (and who would dispute this premise, knowing the strength of the right-wing vote in “Middle England”), he and his Westminster Government would have the right of veto over the result of our referendum. I have in my naiveté always believed that our country held
The power to decide our future in accordance with the “will of the people”. On a fuller investigation of the subject
I find myself sadly disabused of this “Moral Question”. I cite a paragraph from Wikipedia which reveals the depth of
The “BETRAYAL” of our country the “Parcel O`Rogues”visited on us in 1707.
Quote:-“A referendum for Scottish Independence or a Bill of the Scottish Parliament seeking to change the
Constitutional status of Scotland “Would not be LEGALLY BINDING” on the U.K.Government, because the British
Parliament holds “ABSOLUTE PARLIAMENTARY SOVEREIGNTY” and any changes to the Constitutional
Status is one of the reserved matters for Westminster. Westminster could amend the Scottish Act changing the powers
Of the Scottish Parliament and legally block any Bill for Independence brought by the Scottish Government.
(DEMOCRATIC VALUES AS APPLIED BY THE MOTHER OF PARLIAMENTS!)

As the old saying goes, first the less than good news; followed by the much better news as follows. My good
Friends you will find this snippet of information profoundly inconceivable, when I read it I was absolutely stupefied.
It would seem that we have two prominent former English Prime Ministers on the side of justice; the first person
Is not quite in the realms of the fantasy surrounding the second. I quote again from Wikipedia.John Major and
“WAIT FOR IT” Margaret Thatcher “YES THE ONE AND ONLY”, have stated unequivocally that Scotland’s
Future should be decided on the basis of “THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE” in discussing our Independence.
Cynics have claimed that the lady has performed a U-TURN under the duress of temporary insanity, or otherwise a
Mind aberration.

It now becomes an imperative (in my humble opinion) that, pertinent to my initial paragraph, the issue of next
Year’s March for Independence becomes one of vital primacy; for reasons I quote. If perchance Cameron and
His Government decide to inculcate by way of a veto our vote for Independence; the top priority will be to win the referendum with a formidable majority. In setting out to achieve this I would propose that the March (Rally) be
Held on an annual basis, culminating in the largest gathering of all on the Saturday before the referendum.
In the time-frame between the first and last rallies every effort must be must be made to maximize publicity not only
At home, but also on an International scale. To this end I have submitted an idea of mine to the March organizers
that they implement a scheme whereby they make contact with Scottish societies all over the world in order to garner their sponsorship (not necessarily monetarily) on behalf of our cause. I deem myself a very fortunate person
in having built up a circle of friends in many countries, among which are two lovely lady authoresses,
Beatrice Balti from France and Konstantina Ritsou from Greece. Our wee country should be proud to have two ladies
Of such distinction sharing passionately our regard for our heritage. Knowing all my friends overseas as I do, I have no
Doubt that they will be more than willing to mobilize further support from their friends and colleagues. In accordance with the dynamic of my general propositions I would add that there are further ways which will be beneficial to our advancement. As an example I recollect that my lovely and good friend Lydia Reid, prior to the May election, published the fact that she had actually persuaded 5 (five) of her pro-union friends to vote for the S.N.P.I would therefore
Suggest that, based on Lydia’s remarkable success, the implementation of a new cause; its purpose would be to
Apply the same principle and reap the benefits of what we sow. A suggested title for the cause could be “CONVINCE
YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO BACK FULL INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND”.

A return to the issue of the possible Westminster veto. Any English Government who would contemplate this form
Of regressive action (or is it aggressive), would have to consider it with a great deal of introspection. With the aid
Of an overwhelming number of International Friends, including those already on board, they would have to rationalize
On their decision; taking into account the direst of diplomatic consequences. At the latest estimate the U.S.alone
Has an estimated 10,000,000(ten million) citizens who are proud to announce any connection with their Scottish
Ancestry. In the end their final decision would be contingent on either an “UNDEMOCRATIC IMMORAL ACT” or
Accept that the will of the Scottish people is paramount in the face of an inevitable “International Outcry” I can’t
Be more categorical in emphasizing my ideas in harnessing the contribution of the International Community!!!!

One more final point I feel is worth outlining, that is the official role of the S.N.P.My opinion is that with no negative influences, such as Political Expediency; the party should endorse publicly their full support for the rally(S).The same
Would apply to each and every one of the branches throughout the country. I would therefore make this personal
Appeal to Alex and everyone involved, let us hear and read about it in the coming months

I refer back to my first paragraph; the item “England Calling”, my contention is that they have their backs to the wall
And they are not just calling; they are being dragged kicking and screaming towards the final dissolution of
What I would term their old and decrepit Empire. Their protestations are based on their knowledge that they will be
In a far more inferior position without their dependence on Scotland’s massive natural resources.

My friends my apologies for this seemingly endless message. Truth to say I hope that you can find the time to peruse it
And find that some of the content is at the least constructive????

“Yours aye!”. David.
