Speaking Date Availability 581


I am available again for Yes meetings on 15, 16 and 17 September. Invitations welcome through the contact button above. Happy to go anywhere I can do good. My St Andrews speech a week ago has now had 75,000 views on Youtube.

It is symptomatic of the way this campaign has gone that I can find nothing online from the No camp which has had one fifth as many views, with the solitary exception of the PatronisngBTWoman video, which has massive views from people making fun of it.

Miliband was in Blantyre yesterday where his every bodily function was breathlessly reported by Severin Carrell in the Guardian – but even the Guardian could not pretend his audience in the “Labour stronghold” amounted to more than “dozens”. I am told it was under fifty. Better Together support on the ground has simply evaporated. What they rely on is that the massive output of mainstream media and the authority of the Westminster parties will have sufficient impact on their key demographics – pensioners, and housewives in a 1950’s sense – to shore up a residual no vote of the easily scared. My challenge to people to identify any Better Together gathering of more than 300 has been met with resounding silence.

Television has been wall to wall Miliband lately, and the BBC in Scotland seem to have simply abandoned their obligation to give equal broadcast time and treatment to both sides. Presumably many of the New Labour hacks who control Pacific Quay realise that their behaviour has made a Yes win a career threatening situation for them, so at this stage they see nothing to lose.

If independence is achieved it will be down to a popular movement and not to any politician. Indeed, if one person has to be singled out, I would say the Rev Stuart Campbell has made the most decisive individual contribution in the campaign. If Social media has beaten the mainstream media, the central rock around which millions of flowers have bloomed has been the Wings over Scotland website. This has a significantly larger daily readership than any newspaper in Scotland. The Wee Blue Book I found everywhere, including copies already available in pretty well every pub I entered, as I toured the East Coast. Over 400,000 downloads of the PDF have been made and 250,000 copies centrally printed, as well as a number of private initiatives which had already obtained professional printings from the PDF. Conservatively, there are over half a million hard copies out there, as well as all the reads online. In a population of 5.2 million, that is a major impact.

When we close down BBC Scotland and create a new citizen based, cheaper and more arts-oriented organisation in its place, let’s put Stuart Campbell in charge. Some state-funded drama and arts output seems to me commendable. State funding of pap entertainment is not needed – the private sector can do that perfectly well. State funding of “journalism” which investigates nothing and never challenges the establishment must be stopped.

    ‘MPs’ pay will rise by 10 per cent next year, taking their salaries to £74,000, the new head of Parliament’s expenses watchdog has said, despite warnings from David Cameron that such an increase would be “simply unacceptable”.

    Marcial Boo, the chief executive of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), said that MPs did an important job and should not be paid “a miserly amount” for their services.

    In his first interview since taking up the post in June, he told The Telegraph that MPs needed the pay rise to “catch up” because their £67,060 salaries had fallen behind those of comparable public-sector workers and politicians overseas.’

    What a bunch of twisted self-serving gits Westminster MP’s are, they whinge they’ve not to be paid “A miserly amount” what about the poor souls forced to work zero hour contracts, or the working poor who can pay rent but can’t afford food.

    Narcissus, hasn’t got a look in with these self adoring expenses fixing house flipping, lobbying knob heads.

  • Just saying

    Holohoax denial is so passe, we have just seen GOD DENIAL right under our very noses, for Gods sake. The devils deliberately shot down MH17 with 300 of Gods children on board, and then gave us an audio purporting it was a Putin & Co job. Only the bastards forgot, the properties on a Microsoft file indicate the date of creation, which turned out to be a day before the shoot down. Putin is blackmailing porky and yats who will have cede Eastern Russia to escape the hangmans noose. Obomber and Cameron have gone quiet, and it will be interesting to see how they hutton (sorry button) the black box report.

    Fedup’s jobcentres that assess the “attitude of the applicant” and Mary’s ” MP advises man not to ‘publicly comment’ on issues if he has mental health problems” demonstrate what our leaders require from us, viz brain-deadness.

    Three revelations have come together in recent days about which we are supposed to be brain-dead.
    1/ That Muslim leaders in the UK foster racist rapists
    2/ That Saudi Arabia fosters the terrorists which nearly advanced against it.
    3/ That Muslims use intimidation against respected members of society who dedicate their lives to children

    In other words the UK uses Muslim leaders at all levels as a tool of neo-colonialism. Real Islam is something else which you are ordinary ninjos are not supposed to know about.

    British Labour party leader Ed Miliband says guards may be ordered to line the 95-mile English-Scottish border if the majority of Scottish people voted for independence in an upcoming referendum.

    During an interview with The Scottish Daily on Sunday, Miliband said the need for border guards “would have to be looked at.”
    ——————–
    Typical Zionist puppet mentality from Friends of Israel supporter Miliband, no doubt Miliband will want 20ft high concrete walls with machine gun posts along the wall. Miliband might want to try and steal some land as well, after all his party stole 6000 miles of Scots sea.

    “Could you put a sock in it please Dreoilin. Your hatred of me is showing and I think you are trying to provoke me.”

    I wouldn’t waste my precious energy hating anyone in blog comments, Mary.

    True enough. But I doubt if Herbie, in particular, has left entirely.

    Palestinian Bedouin homes demolished by Israel
    =====================

    Israeli authorities demolished several Palestinian homes in the Naqab (Negev) region on Wednesday.

    During the early hours of the morning, Israeli bulldozers razed three buildings in Um Beten and additional structures on the outskirts of Hura, villages located in the northern part of the Naqab region, the Arabs48 website reported later that day.
    —————————-

    The southern Naqab region is home to approximately 160,000 Palestinian Bedouins, according to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel’s estimates. As part of the estimated 1.7 million Palestinian citizens of Israel, they face more than fifty discriminatory laws that limit their access to state resources and stifle political expression, the Haifa-based Adalah Legal Center reports.
    ————————-

    Demolitions continue

    Yet in addition to these hardships, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel also notes that around 80,000 Palestinians in the Naqab live in communities that Israel refers to as “unrecognized villages,” where they “are denied basic services and infrastructure, such as electricity and running water.” Many of these communities predate the Nakba, the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
    ————————-

    Israeli policy aims to push Bedouins off their land and into ghetto-like planned communities. The Prawer Plan, a program approved by Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, intended to displace tens of thousands of Palestinians in the Naqab, according to Adalah’s.
    ————————–
    Eleven of the villages were still being denied water services, twelve had no paved roads, and only one was connected to the national electricity grid and received sewage treatment services.

    Meanwhile, neighboring Jewish Israeli communities in the Naqab enjoy heavy state subsidization.
    ———————

    Round them up and put them into Ghetto’s does that strike a bell with anybody?

    “In fact close on 5000 American citizens died and over 500 shot dead by soldiers.”

    Mark; Human memory tends to remember the good things, dismiss the rest. That’s why we reminisce. We haven’t changed much except for constant reminders we live in a dangerous world while we travel the information highway. Instantaneous notifications ramps up the need for more and more Xanax; the chemical answer to reminiscences that used to lift us up.

    ‘The good old days’ may have been simpler, but they weren’t better. I hope I don’t depress further, but THESE are the good old days…………..the here and now.

  • Ben

    Confirming officially for the first time what has been implied, International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, in a highly unusual op-ed on Friday in The Guardian, wrote that “Palestine” is now sufficiently a state to file war crimes complaints against Israelis if it chooses to join the ICC’s Rome Statute.

    http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/ICC-Palestine-is-a-state-can-file-war-crimes-complaints-against-Israel-if-chooses-372979

    Sounds so simple. Why would they not join?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And quid the Celtic Poetaster – you know, the adult male adoptin the “literary” persona of a young girl and offering a rather tired pastiche of something that used to appear in Private Eye (John Major 14 and a half – diary)?

    I do remember that the CP used to lighten up the heavy “humour” with more substantive (but still insane) text….

  • Habbabkuk (La vita è bella) !

    AH! I see that Ben (California Nazi) has clocked in : 14h52 BST, 15h52 CETn, morning in California where the fruits and nuts are growing strinly.

    Will he, I wonder, find time to assuage our worries by telling us what he thinks of people posting Holocaust denial comments on Craig Murray?

    The question is already 24 hrs old, but hey, what’s a day between friends, eh?

    Over to you, Ben….

  • Habbabkuk (La vita è bella) !

    growing strinly, yes, but more to the point, growing strongly.

    Mille excuses!

  • Fedup

    So you were referring to holocaust denial then.

    YOu seem to be so full of it “denial” what is that about?

    Let us see what does denial mean?

    noun
    1.
    an assertion that something said, believed, alleged, etc., is false:
    Despite his denials, we knew he had taken the purse. The politician issued a denial of his opponent’s charges.
    2.
    refusal to believe a doctrine, theory, or the like.
    3.
    disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing.
    4.
    the refusal to satisfy a claim, request, desire, etc., or the refusal of a person making it.
    5.
    refusal to recognize or acknowledge; a disowning or disavowal:
    the traitor’s denial of his country; Peter’s denial of Christ.
    6.
    Law. refusal to acknowledge the validity of a claim, suit, or the like; a plea that denies allegations of fact in an adversary’s plea:
    Although she sued for libel, he entered a general denial.
    7.
    sacrifice of one’s own wants or needs; self-denial.

    None of the above pertains to illegal, criminal or anti social conduct, thought, or “incitement” to such.

    However it is a damn good tool to stop the progress of the evolution of the history beyond the infantile “good V evil” of the WWII. Whence a war is covered-up there can be other wars to be fought yet.

    Not at all. I fully understand the orchestrated hatred against others is age old divide and rule. I oppose the murderous Israeli state. I oppose all racism.

    Yeah sure, and I bet some of your best friends are black/Muslim/Pakistani/etc. divide and rule does not need tools and concepts that can be hooks to let the sordid game to be played over and again.

    Whereas you are obsessed with racial identity and cuddle up to overt holocaust deniers.

    Projections, projections, what kind of an unconscious drivel is this? What kind of a leap did you make to come to this conclusion? Are you debating with canspec, or self inflicted, Jemand the deviant, kempe, villager, or res cliché?

    You deniers lite here have zero understanding that your obsessive nonsense derails dicussion here more than the people you call trolls. I have no doubt that Langley teams feed your hatred. More divide and rule. You are exactly what you profess to despise.

    What discussion? “Langley team”? They are too busy directing drones, and wet ops, to have time for lesser mortals. In fact these days it is the FBI that is doing most of the entrapments and the “discoveries”. Again an indication of how far behind the curve you lag?

    “Hatred” now back to that old switch the pavlovian bell, yet more telling signs of classical conditioning. The divided cannot rule remember and unless the divided face up to the facts they will remain divided.

    “Round them up and put them into Ghetto’s {SIC}does that strike a bell with anybody?”
    _______________

    Well, it might – if those so-called ghettos were ghettos in the sense that most people understand that term.

    I would advise Republicofdreamsofgaschambers to do some research on ghettos 1940-1945 before dropping his verbal gas pellets into the Craig Murray room.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    PS – are you happy your Holocaust denial comments got a couple of entire threads deleted?

  • Dreoilin

    “If you’re saying what I think you might be saying, would you care to hint as to the frequency of his presence….?”

    No, no, I didn’t mean he was sock-puppeting.

    Someone else is though.

  • Dreoilin

    I’ve never seen anyone like Fedup who can take 40 lines to say what he could say in three.
    I wonder does he lecture like that in the mosque?

  • Ben

    Oh, now we’re castigating others not present and unable to defend themselves while impugning their motives with innuendo?

    I can see why racism is such a hot topic since you are all about fairness and equanimity. Maybe you could be compared to ex-smokers or presently sober types. Nazi-like in your overweening concern for others who must be saved from themselves. It’s much easier to project a righteous empathy in the abstract; much harder to show empathy for just one person. Your concern for the whole World might have more credibility if small, random acts of kindness were not canceled out by your piss-poor human relations.

  • Dreoilin

    “Will he, I wonder, find time to assuage our worries by telling us what he thinks of people posting Holocaust denial comments on Craig Murray?”

    That was directed to you, Ben. Are you unable to answer?

  • Republicofscotland

    “Will he, I wonder, find time to assuage our worries by telling us what he thinks of people posting Holocaust denial comments on Craig Murray?”
    ———————
    I suppose it could be akin to Palestinian genocidal denial, what YOUR opinion on that?

    After all it was you and and Fred and Habb and Kempe, who squealed like little bitches, to Craig, regarding, comments debating events of WWII.

    unlike you though if craig see fit to delete any of my comments, I’m fine with that,I have no ego to serve, which is more than I can say for you Fred Kempe and Habb, sockpuppets of the same troll.

  • Ben

    “Are you unable to answer?”

    Fully capable, but I am not joining your wrecking crew, so fuck off and DIAF.

  • Dreoilin

    “Fuck off and die in a fire”

    I think we’re seeing the true personality of Ben, who arrived here so polite and meek and mild.

    Ben, are you Republicofscotland?

  • Ben

    I’ve already told you, but you would lose your small-minded theory if you bothered to follow up on matters that are so bothersome to you. Anonymized IP’s show as unknown. I am not using one, and my country of origin is visible. Now toodle off and harass someone else like your abused spouse.

  • Phil

    Tony M
    “Phil: being right-on and being insufferably PC is not the same as having a clue.”

    That you find speaking up against holocaust denial and the idiotic notion that one race are responsible for the worlds problems is “insufferably PC” and not “having a clue” says more about you than me mate.

  • Tony M

    I’ve decided I’m going to swear a whole lot more when commenting here, as it’s more natural. In the above comment addressed to Phil, change “having a clue” to “having a fucking clue”.

  • Republicofscotland

    “Fuck off and die in a fire”

    I think we’re seeing the true personality of Ben, who arrived here so polite and meek and mild.

    Ben, are you Republicofscotland?
    ——————
    I think we’ll have to report you to Craig and the moderators for advocating the death of a fellow commentor, an ban should suffice.

    What a nasty piece of work you are.

  • Ben

    I DENY that i said die in a fire. Such denialism is my prerogative and I was referring to her personality type (beyond sour and malignant)

    So many errant ways to interpret the printed word, except for those who exemplify perfection, in every single sense of the word.
