British Politics

THE ULSTERISATION OF SCOTLAND

I have spent most of my life as a soldier. I served six tours of duty in Northern Ireland between 1975 and 1995 before retiring as Regimental Sergeant Major in the Black Watch. I have seen a country tear itself apart before and I fear that we, as all who fail to learn from history, may find ourselves repeating it. I know that nowadays marches and large public gatherings seem like a distant memory, but those days will come back and with it, possibly, may come the start of our repeated history.

It is not difficult to imagine what may go wrong. A heated election delayed due to the pandemic and a divided party seeking to unify its support base “one last time”, yet again. A protest is met by a counter protest, a shout met by a slur, a punch met by a bottle, vandalism met by destruction. It doesn’t matter who started it, it never does, but each step is an escalation, a chain reaction made more volatile by months of pent up frustration, anger and sadness. Before too long it all gets out of hand as a woefully underfunded police force, a cohort of provocative politicians and a charged ideological atmosphere combine to unleash a monster that cannot be contained.

Of course, no one wants this, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions and empty promises, two things which we certainly have in surplus in Scotland today. I am not the first to recognise this, and to sense the volatility that is now present in Scotland. Jamie Blackett, the leader of All for Unity, a party I myself am standing for, was a Guards Officer who also served in the Province. All for Unity’s founder George Galloway also had in-depth knowledge of the Troubles from a different viewpoint, as a leading advocate of a united Ireland. We are all on the same side now.

When people who disagree on so much are united on an issue such as this, the alarm bells should not just be ringing, but falling off the wall. The Troubles are over in Northern Ireland thanks to the Good Friday Agreement. But the three of us recognise the signs of a new phase of the Troubles being fomented – a Scottish Troubles.

 

Good, the Plantation of Ireland with Scots is the single biggest factor in the Irish Conflict going back centuries.

Now we are cutting loose it's nice to see our identity politics tear the **** outta Britain

It's almost poetic.

 

You don't win wars by playing the victim.

You will win over your Archers and Toby types but actual British don't buy into that garbage

 

I've been to funerals funnier than Twatintyre

 

" A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd "



Yes, I posted it again - what of it?

 

At last someone has noticed and done something about the echo chamber that universities have become for the "woke"

yet the crazed lefties still claim that there's no threat to free speech
there's no lie that they wont use

 

Is that Mike Ashley in the centre? I vaguely recognise a couple of others but not sure what I'm seeing here.

 

It’s the GC Christmas Beano mate. Not sure if Ashley was there..,

 

Fix your tv set, you have too much contrast on it, ask Toby if you can borrow his 75" TV

 

Which one’s you mate?

The Guardian

Half of men have had unwanted sexual experiences, UK study finds


Mankind UK is calling for more attention to be paid to sexual abuse survivors who identify as male

 

Are we now expected to say that we identify as male rather than just male? I have noticed that on forms there is a lot more focus on diversity with multiple identifiers along with the option to prefer not to say. Who does this nonsense benefit?

 

You do realise that you can go to your local gym when it opens and use the women's changing room ?

If you get caught sniffing knickers call The Guardian take a photo with a sad compo face and watch those gofundme donations roll in .

 

Woooah... There must be at least eight, maybe nine men there? And they're all fifty-plus and not in peak physical fitness? Or the height of attractiveness? ****ing hell, I hope I don't share a political opinion with them. Might have to support another team if I do.
