One of my oldest and dearest friends has gone public on his support for Scottish Independence. I am greatly cheered by this. More thoughts later.

I wish I’d said that. What a gem!”

Beyond parody 🙂
What planet do you hail from?
“i stand by my request… Which i think is a fair one…”
Yes it is, Brian. And let me be clear that I am not in the least bit interested in Jives’ personal details.
That said, I think our former mod and Suhayl did find out my identity and had a look through my Picasa web albums online, sharing some humorous details on here. I pointed out they were behaving like GCHQ and that seemed to be the end of it, but there seems to be no such thing as internet anonymity unless you try really hard at it.
“I don’t know why some contributors seem very keen to go off on this random tangent about UK involvement in Syria, Libya, etc.”
That’s because you don’t comprehend the word ‘context’ especially historical context.
Maybe if you educamated yerself wrt World events, the exercise wouldn’t cause you physical and emotional pain.
Habbabkuk, 11:17pm
I’d missed that one. Beyond parody and into the realms of pure farce. Is there nothing the West can’t be held responsible for?
Bin jamin,
My point was about whether it is feasible to allow every victim of domestic violence, or any other crime, asylum in Britain.
Now, if you would like to educate me wrt your theories on world affairs and their relevance to this case then the floor’s yours.
” Is there nothing the West can’t be held responsible for?”
Krakatoa, dinosaur demise and the sacking of Jerusalem circa 607 BCE.
Is my list complete?
Anon; ‘Bin Jamin’ is supposed to offend?
‘Ben’ in Hebrew tradition means ‘son of’. Just so you know.
According to the Torah, Benjamin’s name arose when Jacob deliberately corrupted the name Benoni, the original name of Benjamin, since Benoni was an allusion to Rachel’s dying just after she had given birth, as it means son of my pain.
Theresa May is today’s hate figure but let’s face it, she has a lot more responsibility than writing letters to airliners.
The support for the woman in question is probably well-meaning, but ultimately deluded. Many on the left just see evil Tory vs. poor asylum seeker and immediately and unthinkingly leap to the latter’s defence. Cases such as these do, however, have far-reaching implications – in this case a grant of asylum (which I understand has now been upheld) might imply that any victim of crime the world over can settle here as long as the law enforcement of their country is incapable of dealing with crimes committed against them. That’s quite a lot of people.
Can you see how to defeat the opposition? Words have power. Comprende’?
Never mind, Ben.
Anyway, “Krakatoa, dinosaur demise and the sacking of Jerusalem circa 607 BCE.”
Probably a Zionist conspiracy.

“Node 10:47pm, hapless and floundering, cries ‘racist’, again!”
Anon, if I’ve wrongly called you a racist, I apologise. Please clarify. What did you mean by:
“Judging by the school photo she might as well be home anyway.”
Anon..
it would seem you have been on Craig’s Longer than i …can’t be sure, i read for a long time before posting…
but but pause a while before jumping on the Habs blabbings…
Check out some fotos Here –
Women’s rights are increasingly heralded as a useful propaganda device to further imperial designs.
Western heads of state, UN officials and military spokespersons will invariably praise the humanitarian dimension of the October 2001 US-NATO led invasion of Afghanistan, which allegedly was to fight religious fundamentalists, help little girls go to school, liberate women subjected to the yoke of the Taliban.
The logic of such a humanitarian dimension of the Afghan war is questionable. Lest we forget, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were supported from the very outset of the Soviet-Afghan war by the US, as part of a CIA led covert operation.

Goodnight all.

I Knew you would appreciate that, Sophia, 🙂
Habbabkuk, 6:38 pm; of the thirteen people you list, I have been in e-mail contact with six or seven, spoken on the ‘phone with four, and actually met two.
Anonymity has effects at the commenter’s end, too. If anyone who knows me sees my comment here, they knows it’s by me. I wonder which if any of your friends have read your comments here and know that Habbabkuk is you. I wonder if the views you express anonymously would affect others’ decisions about you, if they were to know it was you.
International implications of Scottish independence. Anyone?
Ben – Morsi was cagey like a fox; he knew he was elected to fail, to destabilise Egypt and once again invoke a military rule, this time the army returning to ‘free’ the people from ‘Brotherhoodization’ of the state, that was stifling civil society and choking an already obstructed legal system.
Morsi caught on quickly that Putin would refuse to take up his baton and run with a Russia/Syria/Iran/Egypt pact. Putin knew his UKUSIS Brotherhood masters would take him down as quickly as they had elevated him to power.
Exactly as John Brennan imposed, ‘Traitor’ Morsi will now witness his so called following lieutenants, his radical allies privileged to his game, die in damp torture chambers, pawns in a barbaric and brutal blueprint for power.
Excuse me but if MH370 was pinging for a further SIX HOURS after loss of ATC contact, wasnt someone supposed to tell the Malaysians, so that an aerial interception could be made. Instead they had the world diverted to the South China Sea for another SEVEN DAYS?!!
The Malaysians are either stupid or complicit. We need to investigate INMARSAT right here in London.
Ben-Scot, 11:32 pm; no, the 1883 explosion of Krakatoa was caused by an accident in 2008 at the European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association EISCAT ionospheric heater facility at Ramfjordmoen, near Tromsø, Norway (over two hundred times more powerful than HAARP). Due to an overlooked toolbar setting, an attempt to transmit a 30-second advertisement for Doritos brand tortilla chips to a solar system 42 light years away resulted in the time-reversed scalar wave which destabilised the volcanic island.
Phil & Brian Fujisan et al,
Appreciate your concern and suggestions chaps …however:
No,i wasn’t drunk at all last night as some seem to think,just sick of the bullshit artists/sockpuppets.
I really don’t give a fuck if my details are posted and whatever spam/hasbara/spook shite i get back.
I put my details upfront simply to show how cowardly the multi-ID liars and frauds these sockpuppets are.They could/would never do this.
We are heading soon towards a world where nobody will be able to hide anymore and i am happy to stand as i am-for whoever wants to present my account,so to speak.
Y’all know my particulars now.Cool.The good ones can call me anytime and come round for a coffee and chat,whatever.The rest of them can wallow in their own cowardice and hypocrisy.
I feel sorry for the weakness and cowardice of trolls who hide behind their lies.
Fuck ’em all.
Cowards.
Well said Jive’s And Got your text too You got my No.
Brian,
Shit ..that was you last night then??…lol
Regards..
Yes Jives…. That was Me.. Peace And respect
I note the racist troll proceeded with a little rant on immigration as if that excused his previous racist comment. UKIP have a supporter there I reckon. Normality is NOT resumed Anon. You will be remembered for this.
There has just been a death at Yarls Wood detention centre which is where Yashika is being held. The woman who died was 41. An unusally young age at which to have a heart attack. An inquiry is being held.
‘A 40-year-old female detainee at Yarl’s Wood Immigration Centre has died, the Home Office has confirmed.
Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances around the death at the centre in Bedfordshire, which is the main removal centre holding women and families facing deportation.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the woman may have suffered a heart attack and had complained of feeling unwell.
The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has also been informed.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Sadly, we can confirm the death of a female detainee at Yarl’s Wood on 30 March.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further as the death is subject to a police investigation. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has been informed in line with standard procedure.”
Protests took place outside the centre on Saturday to vent frustration against the decision to deport Mauritian student Yashika Bageerathi, who has been housed at Yarl’s Wood since 19 March.
A legal battle is ongoing to keep her in the UK.’
BBC website
‘Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre is an immigration detention centre at Milton Ernest in the Borough of Bedford in Bedfordshire. It opened on 19 November 2001 and was built to hold up to 900 people making it the largest immigration detention centre in Europe at the time. Since opening in 2001 has been dogged by controversy. In February 2002, it was gutted through a fire, reopening in September 2003. Throughout its operational period a number of hunger strikes and riots have occurred there. On 11 January 2011, the High Court ruled that the continued detention of the children of failed asylum seekers at Yarl’s Wood is unlawful.
It is operated by the Serco Group.’

Habbabkuk; “That’s a serious accusation. As our friend Doug Scorgie would surely say : please provide references to back up your accusation. Thank you kindly”
Always happy to back-up my POVs;

(not actually the one I had in mind, which seems to have been removed, but this one is also quite bad enough)
Let’s not forget your own BNP like revealing comments also;
“the perpetrators should, after they have served their sentences, be deported to the country(countries) whence they or their forefathers came so that they could practice their bestial predilections on young girls of their own country and religion?”

Plus here’s you sock-puppetting as an anti-Semite;
http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2012/12/palestine/comment-page-2/#comment-384619
Speaking of sock-puppetting, funny how you & Anon not only have the same shared avatar, but also echo the exact same shared views.
“So it seems that your doubly charge of neglecting his responsibilities to the people who actually voted for him, and concentrating too much on international affairs against their wishes, is not borne out, and the opposite is revealed to be true.”
You’re talking about his Hillhead years, when he was indeed the very model of a red Clydesider, and none the worse for that.
Nevertheless, since he went south, ceased to take the Labour whip, and went into the selfpromotion business, his Commons voting record has been abysmal. And should Russia and Iran prove to be hostile entities, which god forbid, but our neocons would just love, he has given aid and comfort to them.
Which. A. British. MP. Has. No. Business. Doing.
But if you don’t agree with that as a matter of basic politics, then I cannot hope to convince you.
