Dramatic fire pinpoints 'Better Together' bunker.

There were dramatic scenes at Auchmithie near Arbroath today when a previously unknown bunker caught fire requiring emergency crews to rush to the scene. Fire crews were still dowsing the flames this evening as experts examined the interior of the bunker. Literature inside the bunker indicates it was the secret headquarters of 'Project Fear', the anti Scottish independence group who are using fear and lies to try and prevent the people of Scotland from voting 'Yes' to independence next year.

An unofficial spokesman said it appeared that the inhabitants had left the gas on when making square sausage rolls and the square sausage had ignited destroying the bunker. They said they found a fur coat on a shoogly peg with the name 'Ms Lamont' stitched in the collar. There was also a burnt out bicycle with 'keep aff wee wullie rennies' stamped on the frame and four sets of damaged tracy island jackets and false eyebrows stamped ' Darling'. Oh and some blackened judo suits and burnt out oxter spray cans marked 'Ruth's'

Forensic detectives concluded the items belonged to the big hitters from 'Better Together' ...Lamont, Rennie, Davidson and Darling. They hadn't been seen in public for a few months and had been assumed to have left the country.

Luckily there was a 'Better Together' anti independence top secret public meeting through in Glasgow today so there was no one staying in the bunker.

More photos from the scene...

Only joking about the 'Better Together' bunker story...yeah really. It was actually an 'arbroath smokey' set up that set the surrounding grass on fire. A bit embarrassing for the company involved....

Tasty smokies though...

The village of Auchmithie was holding a historic re enactment day and Scottish saltires were in evidence around the village church. Huge saltires that are sadly missing from Scottish buildings these days. Replaced by the Union flag or EU flag.

This seemed to upset a few people who wandered around the village waving the Union flag. One lady sat in the church yard waving her Union flag for hours ( unable to photograph as it seems to upset Unionists if they're seen waving a Union flag). Weird. Oh and the smokey seller was obviously a Union supporter. Despite selling Scottish arbroath smokies in a Scottish village which was re enacting old Scottish cultures and traditions he set up his stall with Union flags everywhere. I think he was selling them as well. Or giving them away.

An independent Scotland would be too poor to attack Syria.

The pro Scottish independence 'Yes Scotland' campaign was dealt a massive blow today when unofficial sources in London said that if Scotland decided to 'go it alone' and leave the UK then it would no longer be able to join in and 'blow the beejeesus' out of foreign countries that it didn't like. It would be too wee , too poor and too stupid. (copyright acknowledged to 'Better Together' campaign).

Scotland has been able to join in with the successful attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya and can now help to attack Syria. However should Scotland decide to choose separation from the UK then this would all stop. It would be forced to follow countries such as Norway. Sitting on the sidelines and building up pointless billions in reserves for a rainy day when it could have been getting stuck in to some foreigners and spending like there's no tomorrow [ Ed - which might happen if we manage to start WW3 this time ].

The unofficial spokesman explained that Assad of Syria might have gassed his own people so we need to fire cruise missiles, bunker busters, daisy cutters, drone hellfires, depleted uranium, phosphorous, napalm and agent orange[Ed- think that was Vietnam] at them and 'kill people properly'. This would be of great assistance to Al Qaeda who are fighting to overthrow the independent state of Syria.

The successful attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya killed millions of civilians and left the countries in ruins highlighting how puny Syria's killing machine will be compared to ours and highlighting how we would be 'Better Together' in a United Kingdom.

It's essential that we control Syria as we need to build the oil and gas pipelines from Qatar to the West and the US needs an excuse to get the Fed's private printing presses rolling again to help 'boost' the US economy...$17trillion in debt and rising..oops.

Supporters of the pro Union 'Better Together' team have been speaking about the need to bomb Syria quickly....

Convicted war criminal [Ed - in Malaysia only ] and middle east peace envoy Tony Blair said.." The hand wringing has to stop. We must act"

Prime Minister David Cameron said.."Britain must bomb Syria".

Sir William of Hague said that the "Syria chemical attack threatens our security" and that all the evidence from the sarin attack will have been destroyed after 5 days.[Ed- but the weapons inspectors were investigating a chemical attack from 4 months ago when this attack took place.]

Mr Hague was recently seen training and plans to be 'one of the first on the beach' should a seaborne attack against Syria take place.

Former Labour spin doctor Alistair Campbell said "it would be hugely irresponsible and incredibly dangerous" if we didn't bomb Syria. Seen here remembering the dead from his previous wars as he bravely tackles some cake...

'Scottish Labour' leader Ms lamont was unavailable for comment and is thought to be organising this weekends top secret public meeting for 'Glasgow Better Together'. The location is on a 'need to know' basis but 'Subway' sandwich shops are being monitored for activity by 'separatist spooks' as we speak.

So there you have it. Scotland can 'go it alone' and choose independence....losing their chance to fight and die or be maimed abroad, store crumbling nukes and have brilliant parades. Nothing but a boring backwater of peace and stability.

Or be 'Better Together'. Stay with the Union and play with the big boys. Punching above our weight and spreading democracy around the world. [Ed- spreading violence and chaos ?].

Selective morality at BBC Scotland.

Witnessing the faux outrage from BBC Scotland over the contents of the hacked e mails between the 'Yes Scotland' pro independence team and Dr Bulmer I was interested in how they suddenly saw no problem in discussing the contents of hacked e-mails.

While forensic detectives from Police Scotland were examining the Yes Scotland computers BBC Scotland were having phone in programmes over the contents and devoting most of Newsnight Scotland to the contents of the e-mails. Ignoring the illegal hacking as if it was of minor importance.

Compare their response to 'Bulmergate' (copyright Monty ?) with their response to the 'Climategate' e-mails which they vehemently refused to mention as they said they were obtained illegally. It took weeks before they decided to say something on the issue with the story already all over the free media outlets.

Climategate exposed the global warming scam and how the climate 'scientists' had cooked the books to "hide the decline" in global warming despite a huge rise in CO2. The BBC had earlier decided that global warming was a real and 'settled science' ( after a secret meeting with all the usual suspects ) and that they wouldn't report any alternative viewpoint. They also had part of their pension pot invested in global warming companies. This put them in a tricky situation over the issue so they decided not to mention Climategate until they started to look even more stupid and biased than they already were.

Another tricky situation for BBC Scotland is the ongoing 'Charlotte Fakes' e mails and letter leaks that have been going on for months. Non football supporters will probably not have heard of Charlotte but she's been all over the football blogosphere. She's leaking details of the unholy alliance between Scottish football's finest and Glasgow Rangers. Her leaked e mails show how the PR machine at Rangers helped to guide them through the liquidation process and out the other end. Kudos to them as they have just been doing what they're being paid for but if some of the leaked e mails and notes are genuine then it shows BBC Scotland in a very bad light. The PR company allegedly invoiced for a call they made during the Celtic v Motherwell cup final that got BBC man Rob McLean to ask about alleged Celtic sectarian singing. This was to balance the negative press that Rangers were getting over similar singing. 'Whataboutery' is a popular phrase in Scottish football. If one team is accused of some wrongdoing then they always say..."aye but what about them and their singing, fighting "etc...

Needless to say BBC Scotland have kept their listeners ignorant of the furore over Charlotte's outpourings despite some of the e mails being pretty damning. The award winning journalist Tom English who is the Chief Sports writer at 'Scotland on Sunday' often appears on BBC Radio Scotland's football show and is constantly being asked on the blogosphere and on twitter to investigate the leaked e mails but vehemently refuses to do so. I don't think he has even asked any of the figures involved ( mainly the great and the good at the SFA / Rangers ) if any of the e mails are genuine. I never saw Tom as part of the 'succulent lamb' brigade. The journalists who lapped up whatever they were told by the football bosses in order to curry favour with them. Meanwhile keeping their readers in the dark about what was really going on. I thought journalists were supposed to investigate ?

'Charlottegate' will follow 'Climategate' and get out into the media eventually. Despite the BBC ignoring it.

Then it will be fun to watch with 'jelly and ice cream' ( another football saying ).

Unionist bedroom tax madness.

Kudos to The Daily Record newspaper. They're not letting up on their story about Labour controlled North Lanarkshire council who are evicting disabled lady Lorraine Fraser from her home for non payment of the bedroom tax. She "is being kicked on to the street after her Labour-run council took court action to force her out her specially adapted flat.

She has scoliosis – curvature of the spine – and arthritis and she is wheelchair-bound.

The council moved Lorraine into a specially adapted flat with a wheelchair ramp, wet room and handrails two years ago.

Now they want to turf her out for failing to pay just £248 in bedroom tax arrears".

She is seen in the photo above talking to the leader of the Labour run council, Jim McCabe who said "This is bang out of order, you coming to my door like this"

Not really Jim. She's tried everything else and been fobbed off so obviously thought a bit of doorstepping might help to focus minds.

Jim went on..."I am totally, 100 per cent against the bedroom tax. It is the most abhorrent, heinous piece of legislation ever introduced. I never introduced it.”

SNP councils have banned any threats of eviction but Jim voted against a policy of no bedroom tax evictions.

Plus Labour could have overturned the bedroom tax in February if they had bothered to turn up for the Opposition Day vote in London.

So taxpayers spend thousands of pounds making a flat suitable for Lorraine to live in and then Labour plan to evict her for a few hundred pounds arrears on a bedroom tax that they think is 'heinous' ? Oh and will now have to make another flat suitable for Lorraine to live in if she is evicted from her present one.

Jim claims that the threats of eviction are just a paperwork exercise and to ignore them but people know that to ignore 'letters fae the cooncil' is madness....they have the power to throw you out of your house. I wonder how Jim would react to threatening letters 'fae the cooncil '?

Hopefully people start to wake up and decide to vote for independence for Scotland and dump the 'Better Together' Union.

Better Together campaign director accuses constitutional expert of 'being paid bung'.

The 'Better Together' anti Scottish independence campaign director Blair McDougall, ( see photo above), has accused the research director of the Constitutional Commission and former Royal Navy 'Psy Ops' officer Dr W Elliot Bulmer of corruption for accepting money from the 'Yes Scotland' pro independence campaign to write a favourable article for them in 'The Herald' newspaper in order "to deceive the people of Scotland".

Speaking to the BBC Mr McDougall said...."Who else received payment? Who knew that this kind of payment was being authorised by the campaign's chief executive?

What other supposedly independent voices are being paid bungs to say what the nationalists want? What else are they willing to do to deceive the people of Scotland?"

The outburst arose after e mails are alleged to have been hacked revealing the details of the conversations between Mr Bulmer and the 'Yes Scotland' campaign in relation to the newspaper article.

Allegations of corruption are extremely serious and hopefully Mr McDougall has taken them to Police Scotland and not just to BBC Scotland.

The referendum campaign has entered the next stage with the gloves removed and the dirty tricks about to begin in earnest. Hopefully the international monitors can now be called in to oversee what goes on. Although everything is being digitally recorded for future historians to pore over this won't be any good if the referendum result is swayed by smears and innuendo.

It will be too late by then unfortunately.

bung : British slang for a bribe, a "deal sweetener" of sorts. The term is used within football corruption, transfer agents paying "bungs" and the managers that accept them.

Blogger sentenced to 600 lashes and 7 years in jail.

Ouch !

We might complain about civil liberties in the UK but at least they haven't started flogging us if we go 'off message'....yet.

This blogger got sentenced to 600 lashes and 7 years in prison for the mortal crime of saying.......drum roll.............

"Muslims, Jews, Christians and atheists are all equal”

It's not all bad news though as "the 600 lashes will be administered in groups of 150, with Badawi allowed to be hospitalised and given a break in between."

We might get our hard drives symbolically smashed in a newspaper basement or sit in a sweaty airport office for 9 hours but they haven't got out the whips yet. Phew !

Lib Dem MP brands bedroom tax 'absurd' despite not voting against it.

Lib Dem MP Andrew George has said that the bedroom tax is "absurd and will split communities and give taxpayers bigger bills" despite failing to show up when there was an attempt to block the new tax during an Opposition Day vote on the 27th February. He then went on to outline all the other problems with the bedroom tax that had already been discussed before the tax was introduced. It was as if he was living in a cave during the initial debate over the tax and had failed to notice the debate.

The bedroom tax was voted through during the Opposition Day vote on Feb 27th with a majority of 41 but could easily have been defeated if 44 Labour MPs' and 34 Lib Dem MPs' hadn't been 'absent'. A few will have been seriously ill or otherwise engaged but not 78 of them. Only 39.3% of Lib Dems bothered to turn up for the vote.

Oh and guess what....the total number of MPs' absent was 155 (inc tiny squeaker) so you can see how our 'democracy' works. Around 77 MPs' on each 'side' of the fake parliament were 'absent'. We have a democracy by text from the whips office telling the 'honourable members' whether they were an 'absent', an 'aye' or a 'nae' with all the numbers carefully worked out in advance.

Andrew did manage to tweet and speak about 'saving the whales' on the day of the vote so he wasn't too bored on the day he stayed away.

We're all used to the broken pledges and hypocrisy of the Lib Dems although I'm in agreement with him about the whales. Just a pity about our poor people though.
