19.09.2014 is a
date I will never forget; the date Scotland died. In fact, if truth be known it
is the date Scotland committed suicide. Fear won over hope as the mainstream
media gave full backing to the self-diagnosed Project Fear campaign of Better Together/No
Thanks.
Brown's Pension Raid
The despicable
Gordon Brown succeeded in scaring the elderly into voting ‘No’ by lying to them
that their pensions would be under threat (around 73% of Scotland’s over 65s
voted No – by far the largest sector of society to do so – compared to 71% of
16 and 17 year olds 71% of whom voted Yes for their future). Of course, they
never were under threat as it is the system that you have paid your pension
contributions to that has the responsibility to pay out. Hence, some pensioners
are able to retire in sunnier climes, for example, to Spain or Australia and
still be paid by the UK system they paid into. Incidentally, this is the same
Gordon Brown who, in 1997, raided our pension pots to the tune of £100
Billion-£150 Billion.
Voting Patterns By Age
Robert Louis Stevenson
(1850-1894) once wrote that ‘to travel hopefully is a better thing than to
arrive’.* Well, we have arrived; we as a people (55% of us anyway) have decided
that it is not worth trying to change the fact that 1 in 5 (1 in 4 in some
areas) children in Scotland are born into poverty. The demonization of the poor
(incl working poor), the unemployed and the elderly, weak, infirm and disabled
will continue unabated. Hope lost. There is no hope once you know that this is
where your travels terminate.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis
Stevenson was a giant. He was a giant of literature and a giant of humanity. He
was not a poor man, coming from the wealthy ‘Lighthouse Stevensons’ family,
however when he travelled to the States he did so describing events in steerage
along with the poor, sick and stowaways. He was keen to find out how others
lived and in this case the ‘other half’. Imagine the rich or a politician doing
that today?
Today we live in a
Post-Thatcher era where greed is good and an attitude of ‘I’m alright Jack’
prevails.
1.6 million
‘Scots’ voted for independence; these are the people who would not be cowed by
fear. They became self-educated spurning the newspapers and media of the rich
and rebelling against the State run BBC. The internet played a huge part in this
education and whilst some people moaned about not being given ‘enough
information’ these trailblazers trawled through sites like Wings Over Scotland,
Newsnet Scotland, Wee Ginger Dug, Bella Caledonia, National Collective,
Business For Scotland, Craig Murray and dozens more. Each site in its own
special way exposed the lies in a way that shamed ‘real’ journalists. Facts,
figures, statistics, links, and comparisons detailed a system desperate and
prepared to maintain a dysfunctional Union. But despite these courageous and
informative sites it wasn’t enough; for some the truth hurts and it is much
easier to continue life awkwardly rather than seek and face the truth which
deep down you know will challenge your core beliefs.
So, the UK
Government’s legal advice (see previous post) that Scotland ceased to exist in
1707 and was subsumed into an enlarged or renamed England although erroneous
has been given validation in 2014.
The proud country
of Scotland ceased to exist this day. 1.6 million people will mourn and over 2
million won’t even know what they have done. The biggest irony of all is that it was the fear of the
majority of our pensioners that have crushed the hopes of our young.
