AN 'INDEPENDENT' SCOTLAND WOULD NOT BE INDEPENDENT


It would appear that there is a cunning plan to give Scotland a sort of 'fake' independence.

The idea is that the Scots will be given as much independence as the North American Indians, the Australian Aborigines or the good people of Diego Garcia.

In the UK parliament, Angus Robertson is the Scottish National Party leader and the spokesman on Foreign affairs and Defence.

He and his colleagues supported the 'no-fly' zone over Libya, which involved the bombing of Libya and the killing of civilians.

Herr Robertson

Robertson was born in London and his mother is German.

Robertson speaks fluent German. (Angus Robertson - Wikipedia)

He worked as a foreign and diplomatic correspondent in Central Europe for the BBC.

The BBC is believed to be run by MI6 and is believed to employ people from MI6 as foreign and diplomatic correspondents.

Robertson is a participant in the Parliamentary Armed Forces Scheme.

This gives Members of Parliament 'experience of the armed forces'.

It is sponsored by arms manufacturers.

Robertson could take over from Alex Salmond, if Salmond had an accident?

Robertson has confirmed that an 'independent' Scotland would join UN and Nato-led military operations abroad, if sanctioned by the UN.

(Independent Scotland could join Nato, say SNP sources)

Scottish National Party (SNP) sources say that the SNP is considering scrapping opposition to Nato membership.

An 'independent' Scotland could thus be a tool of the Pentagon.

Alex Salmond

SNP leader Alex Salmond is suggesting that an 'independent' Scotland would:

1. Keep sterling and the Bank of England as its central bank, by forming a currency union with the rest of the UK.

2. Keep the monarchy.

3. Keep the BBC as a Scottish broadcaster.

Military analysts believe an independent Scotland may have to retain Trident nuclear weapons as a price for defence co-operation with the UK.

(Independent Scotland could join Nato, say SNP sources)

So, an 'independent' Scotland would not really be independent.

Rupert Murdoch is supporting Salmond.

This explains why the SNP government in Edinburgh has:

1. Defended the guilty verdict in the 'rigged' Lockerbie trial

2. Appeared to be part of the cover-up in the Hollie Greig child-abuse case

3. Appeared to support the establishment of al Qaeda in Libya.

4. Appeared to turn a blind eye to CIA rendition flights.

4. Obtained the warm support of Rupert Murdoch!

RICH AND POOR REGIONS; MISSISSIPPI, OUTER LONDON, CALLAGHAN...

Breakfast in India.

"The differences between countries are often not as great as the disparities within them."

There are rich and poor regions in the USA, in Australia, in Europe, in the UK...

Which is richer - New Hampshire or Mississippi?

Average (median) income 2010

New Hampshire $65,028

Mississippi $35,693

The District of Columbia has a GDP per person five times higher than Mississippi.

In Mississippi only 19% of those aged 25 or over have a degree, compared 48% in the District of Columbia.

Italy - lowest level of regional inequality

"In an analysis of seven countries by The Economist, Italy was found to have the lowest level of regional inequality...

"China's phenomenal growth means that on a purchasing-power-parity basis, the municipality of Shanghai has a higher GDP per head than a quarter of the regions in Britain and Italy..."

It is possible to narrow the gap.

"GDP per head in Germany’s five poorest states (all in the east) fell by slightly less during the downturn than in the five richest.

"This continues the dramatic convergence of the past two decades, thanks partly to huge ... funds for infrastructure, Research & Development and education, as well as the transfer of some manufacturing jobs from factories in the western states to the east.

"In 1991, just after unification, Hamburg was five times richer than the poorest eastern region; now it is only 2.3 times richer."

TOP NATION

Elvis Presley had Scottish origins.

Scotland would be the 6th richest country in the world if it had INDEPENDENCE

The revenue from Scotland's oil, over the last several years, amounts to £3.48 trillion.

Over the past 30 years, Scotland has produced more oil than Dubai and Abu Dhabi combined.

Over the past 30 years, Scotland has produced almost as much oil per capita as Saudi Arabia.

Uncle Sam was Scottish.

There is still a lots of oil off the coast of Scotland.

Half the oil is still to come

Each year in Scotland, tourists spend £4.5 billion.

Scotland's whisky exports are worth around £4 billion a year.

Scotland has 8.4% of the UK population, but in 2009-2010 paid 9.4% of the UK tax revenue.

WHAT IF ENGLAND DID GO IT ALONE?


What if England did go it alone? MI6 Online

Leading friend of the London establishment Andrew Woberts says England is begging to keep Scotland as part of the UK.

A bankrupt economy, no more North Sea oil revenues...

By Andrew Woberts

If Scotland becomes independent:

1. The first problem the Prime Minister of England would face could be a weakening of the English economy.

2. The Scottish currency, like the currencies of Switzerland and Norway, would be strong.

The last set of figures from the statisticians show that for 2008-9, Scotland provided more in revenue to the London government than was spent in Scotland.

3. Scotland would keep out of NATO and its wars.

4. Scotland would be non-nuclear country, just like Switzerland.

5. Scotland's tourist industry would be boosted.

The two main political parties in Scotland are Labour and the Scottish National Party. fronta.cz/propaganda/fasisticka-italie propaganda-plakaty-letaky-druha-svetova-valka

There are 90 million people of Scottish origin in this world.

Scots are much sought after as managers in large international companies worldwide.

There are some Scots who are not wise leaders and they tend to end up associated with the Labour Party, which for many years ran Scotland on behalf of their London masters.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund is Europe's biggest equity investor.

Norway has saved $430 billion for the future.

Norway has invested heavily in infrastructure.

Finland is even richer than Norway and it does not have oil.

Finland produces mega-liners and modern technology.

Both Norway and Finland are small independent countries.

The Labour Party is the party of the rich oligarchs. Image from: 2012 Olympic Games +++Updated+++

Scotland should be as rich as Norway and Finland, but it is not.

Scotland still has vast oil wealth; Scotland has about 25% of Europe's renewable energy resources; Scotland has a history of producing great inventions.

Scotland is 'poor', because many of its people vote for the Labour party, the party of war and poverty.

Labour failed to control the corrupt bankers.

Labour wasted billions on wars.

Labour wants to waste £100 billion on a replacement for Trident.

Labour took Scotland's wealth and spent it in the South East of England on motorways, railways, the underground, airports and other projects.



In January 2010, a report by the UK government's National Equality Panel pointed out that the gulf between rich and poor in the UK grew wider under the Labour Party than at any time since the Second World War.

The report says that inequality in Britain is among the worst in the developed world, with the highest rate of poverty in western Europe.

On average, children born in the poorest areas will die 13 years before those in the richest.

The richest 10 per cent of families have assets worth an average £853,000 - almost 100 times the £8,800 average wealth of the poorest 10 per cent. (Gulf between rich and poor grown under Labour and now widest since WWII - Daily Mail )





Margaret Thatcher was kept afloat by Scotland's oil.

James Callaghan was saved by Scotland's oil.

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have survived thanks to Scotland's oil.

Who benefits from Scotland's oil?


Not the people of the Calton area of Glasgow where the average life expectancy of a male is just 53.9 years.

This is lower than in most Third World countries. (In Iraq, life expectancy is 67. Minutes from Glasgow city centre ...)


It's Scotland's oil. And more than half the oil is still to come.

The Scottish media, controlled one suspects by the London spooks, have produced a deluge of dishonest stories attacking the Scottish National Party.

Scotland gets less public spending per head than London and many other regions of England.

Tax revenues from Scotland more or less match the country's public spending, if all North Sea oil and gas revenues are taken into account. (Research, published by the Glasgow Herald, based on Treasury figures in Whitehall, an analysis by consultants Oxford Economics and the newspaper's own calculations.)

Something called the GERS report "demonstrates that Scotland recorded a current budget surplus over the three years to 2007/08 of £2.3 billion, while the UK ran up a deficit of £24 billion over the same period." (Falklands could benefit from own oil)

UK civil servants calculated that North Sea oil could boost incomes in an independent Scotland by up to 30%.

This is according to government records made public, 0n 28 September 2009, at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Oil ownership would boost income by 30% / Documents reveal that oil could mean an independent Scotland

The Scottish National Party's Brian Adam commented: "Scotland’s oil industry has a bright future with an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil still to be extracted, new technology developing and a central role in the global oil industry.

"There is as much oil left in the North Sea as has been taken out of it – and much more than half of the revenues.

"Scotland’s oil industry has a positive future.

"With the UK making £250 billion of revenue from North Sea oil over the last 30 years in real terms, it is now time to ensure that future revenues are invested properly for Scotland’s future."


OIL OWNERSHIP WOULD BOOST INCOME BY 30%

Labour has ensured that Scotland is 'poor'.

Ramsay MacDonald (1866 – 1937) was the typical Scottish Labour politician.

Macdonald married Margaret Gladstone, a lady of wealth.

With Ramsay MacDonald's first government there was little in the way of 'change'.

The government supported bosses against their workers.

One of the government's first acts was to use of troops against an engine drivers' strike.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY DIES

Ruth Davidson

.

Several decades ago the UK's Conservative Party won around half of all the Scottish seats in the UK parliament.



Today the UK's Conservative Party has only one Scottish seat in the UK parliament and it is quite likely to lose that seat at the next election.



There is still a Conservative Party in Scotland but the average age of its members is around 70.



Remember Thomas Hamilton?



The Conservative Party in Scotland has just elected a new leader, Ruth Davidson.



Ruth Davidson supports all the policies which have made her party the most hated in Scotland.



The spooky Ruth Davidson is a former journalist with the spooky BBC.



She is a former member of the spooky Territorial Army.



Reportedly, she has been helped into power by top MI6 spook Andrew Fulton.



(Top Scots Tories fire broadside at MI6 Spy and Glasgow University)



Ruth Davidson



Lesbian Ruth Davidson has also been helped by Michael Forsyth, who reportedly was a friend of Thomas Hamilton.



"Forsyth congratulated and encouraged Hamilton for running a boy's club."



On 13 March 1996, Hamilton, armed with four hand-guns, opened fire on a junior school class, killing 16 children.




(Propaganda Matrix.com - Exposing the New World Order and ...)



~~




On 5 November 2011, Paul McBride QC, one of the Scottish Conservative party’s leading supporters, resigned with a denunciation of the party as "a bunch of unreconstructed morons".



Thi is "an early blow to Ruth Davidson’s leadership."



McBride is a former justice adviser to the Conservatives. (Lawyer Paul McBride quits Tories and brands them 'dysfunctional ...)

INDEPENDENCE



Scotland has its own parliament, with very limited powers.



"Voters in every region of the UK now back Scottish independence." (Westminster has no answer to the Alex Salmond effect.)



Professor Andrew Hughes-Hallett, of St Andrews University, calculates that Scotland is subsidising England – and that an independent Scotland would be financially better off.



"If you were to take account of what is spent in Scotland and what is raised in Scotland – and that would include North Sea oil – then in 2008 Scotland was in a mild surplus," he said. (the Alex Salmond effect.)






http://darklochnagar.blogspot.com/ quotes from Scottish finance minister JOHN SWINNEY'S SPEECH on 23 October 2011.



John Swinney insists that Scotland is ''subsidising the rest of the UK.''



''As the global economy recovers from recession, all countries run a deficit, but the UK deficit is higher than that in Scotland.



''In four out of the last five years Scotland has run a budget surplus. The UK was in deficit in each of these years.



''Scotland is subsidising the rest of the UK. Our country pays her way.''



''The figures show that, with a geographical share of our offshore resources, Scotland would be the sixth wealthiest country in the world, 10 places ahead of the UK at 16th.''





According to The Guardian on 17 October 2011:



The North East region of England has seen a 19% increase in the number of businesses in difficulty.



The north-west of England saw a 12% rise.



Yorkshire, the Midlands, Wales and the south-west regions experienced increases in business distress of 10%.



But what about Scotland?



In Scotland, levels of businesses in distress have not risen, but have fallen quarter on quarter.

PETER PAN AND MOAT BRAE

Peter Pan, starring Philippe de Lacy 1924.

"When the shades of night began to fall, certain young mathematicians shed their triangles, crept up walls and down trees, and became pirates in a sort of Odyssey that was long afterwards to become the play of Peter Pan.

"For our escapades in a certain Dumfries Garden, which is enchanted land to me, was certainly the genesis of that nefarious work".

Peter and Wendy

Peter Pan began at Moat Brae.

Moat Brae is a Georgian town house in Dumfries in Scotland.

As a boy, Peter Pan's author J.M. Barrie played in the gardens of Moat Brae, the 'enchanted land'.


Moat Brae has been neglected.

Now, Moat Brae and its garden are being restored by the Moat Brae Trust.

WHY NO RIOTS IN SCOTLAND?

Glasgow - Website for this image



In August 2011, when there were riots in England, there were no riots in Scotland.



The Guardian (Why didn't the riots reach Scotland?) points out that Scotland has:



"Social deprivation on a grand scale and a serious gang problem? Tick.



"Recession causing unemployment and hardship? Oh yes.



"Shocking inequalities between rich and poor? Right again."



UK Government 'Agent Provocateur' Mark Kennedy. (Police Agent Provocateur: Mark Kennedy led attack on Irish police ...)



Our theory is that the riots in England were organised by shadowy right-wing forces linked to the 'powers-that-be'.



In other words, the UK RIOTS could be an INSIDE JOB?



The objective of the 'powers-that-be' may be to strengthen David Cameron's right-wing Conservative Party and The Establishment in general.



RIOTS HELP THE RIGHT WING.



The Conservative Party has little chance of winning seats in Scotland, no matter how many riots there are.



In Scotland it is Scottish National Party versus Labour.



So riots may not be required in Scotland at this time.



And, Scotland's Scottish National Party government controls the police in Scotland.



In 1919 there was a riot in Glasgow in Scotland. Some sources say it was caused by an unprovoked baton charge by the police. 10,000 troops armed with machine guns, tanks and a howitzer arrived to occupy Glasgow's streets. (Website)



Scotland may have a link to the riots in England.



Some years ago, I was once briefly acquainted with an elderly, and very right-wing, Scottish gentleman who claimed that he once did part time work for an organisation more secret than the SAS (Special forces).



The gentleman, whose name and address I do not know, said that one of his jobs with this secret government organisation was to be part of a 'gang' which would cause fights to break out during certain events.



Because of the Official Secrets Act, he would not say any more; I believe the gentleman, who was in very poor health, probably died some years ago.



So, it is just possible that some of the gangs in England were recruited in Scotland?



(Website for this image) Reportedly, the 'Black Bloc' are undercover police operatives. (The Toronto G20 Riot Fraud: Undercover Police engaged in ...)



Do certain Glasgow gangsters have links to the 'powers-that-be'?



Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair and his friend Glasgow gangster Tam McGraw were deeply involved in the drug trade between Scotland and Ulster (Northern Ireland)' ( McGRAW: PETTY THIEF TO A £30M FORTUNE HOW DRUG-DEALING )

The Daily Record wrote: "Local uniforms and CID could often be found sitting in the McGraws' home drinking tea and smoking."



When McGraw bought The Caravel pub, certain well-known detectives were in regularly, drinking heavily and never putting their hand in their pockets."(aangirfan: THE UK LABOUR PARTY'S STEVEN PURCELL AND COCAINE GANGSTERS



According to the Scottish Sun, on 15 August 2011:



"Scots punters are snapping up stolen gear from the English riots at bargain prices after ruthless gangsters here shipped the booty north to sell on.



"People in Glasgow flocked to shady street dealers to buy hot TVs, computers and other electrical goods nicked by lawless looters down south.



"Last night one underworld source bragged how Glasgow was 'awash' with the dodgy goods as organised crime gangs cashed in."



The crook is quoted as saying:



"A few vans were sent down to Manchester last week.



"The guys down south wanted to get the stolen gear moved on quickly - it was too hot because of all the police activity.



"It was all very organised - gangs in Glasgow were tipped off by guys in Manchester that goods were available.



"Possil's awash with stuff - there are so many TVs that guys are just undercutting each other.



"Stuff was getting sold around the pubs and you could see piles of empty electrical boxes piled outside flats.



"As soon as word went around that stuff from Manchester was up for grabs people were coming from around the city."



"Crime gangs are suspected of ordering members on to the streets with shopping lists of items to steal to sell on the black market."
