Delegates from BNP Scotland relax after lodging the Euro Election nomination papers with the Electoral Authority in Edinburgh today.

Our Candidates in Scotland are now poised for the final stages of the Campaign to send the voice of the British people to Brussels in the Euro Parliament Elections.

You can vote for The British National Party in all Regions of Scotland on June 4th.

The finalists for Miss Scotland are learning Bollywood in preparation for the grand final next month.

Preparation included a whole weekend of Bollywood dance training and being measured for their saris, bindis, bangles and beads!

Two top tutors from a Midlands-based dance studio were sent up to teach the finalists what was expected of them for the final.

The artistic director said: “The girls are all stunning to begin with, but in their costumes… well, just wait and see. No one will be disappointed.

“The dance, the girls, the costumes and the music will leave the audience spellbound.
“Bollywood dance is a work of art. Every gesture, expression, hand or eye movement conveys a powerful message.

“Prepare to be mesmerised — it’s going to be a night to remember.”

Bollywood dancing? Mmm. That sounds like a cultural dance with strong roots in the north of the British Isles doesn’t it? Why are they not doing something more representative of Scotland? I don’t remember the country moving to the Indian Subcontinent. However, I did hear a rumbling last night but I have since found out it was the washing machine on a spin!

Something more traditional could include, Scottish Country Dancing, Highland Dancing, Ceilidh Dancing, Cape Breton Step Dancing, and Reeling.

The Cape Breton Step was a dance form which had been lost in Scotland, but preserved in Nova Scotia by the Scottish emigrants, and has recently started making a comeback in Scotland. It is also a dance that can be performed individually which would show off their newly found Scottish dancing skills.

It seems that the cultures of Salmond’s “new Scots” are seeping into the “old Scots” culture and is a sign of things to come! The British National Party is the only party that is willing to preserve the traditional cultures of Britain.

It is with regret that I have accepted the resignation of Alastair Harper from the position of Press Officer Scotland. His reason for stepping down stems from a conflict of interest which has arisen between his long-standing commitment as a political commentator whose special interests in demography, evolutionary biology and education call for a measure of distance from political activism. However he has expressed to me his continuing belief in the values of British nationalism and his hopes for a British National Party representation in the next EU Parliament.

I would like to thank Alastair for his contribution in helping to rebuild the BNP here in Scotland over the last year and wish him all the best for the future. Our new Scottish press officer will be anounced soon.

The Islamic law of Sharia has seen a couple shot to death in Pakistan for allegedly having an affair.

The recently released video, captured on a mobile phone, shows the couple who try to flee when they realise what is about to happen. Casually one of the gunmen shoots the man, then the woman, whom they left bleeding to death in the dirt. When other gunmen shout that the couple are still alive, the Taliban gunman, warlord Baitullah Mehsud, finishes them off – right near their home. The gunmen were a local group of Pakistani Taliban who are an Islamic Militia sweeping towards the capital, Islamabad.
The murders happened in the North West Frontier Province in the Hangu district.

After the couple were shot, the family were told to take their bodies away for burial.

This sort of practice is commonplace in areas controlled by the Taliban where Sharia law is implemented on the residents. And now Pakistanis are afraid that the Taliban could take over their whole nation.

On Friday, an SOS message was sent out by a local resident, who was terrified for fear of reprisals, said that the Taliban have established total control over an area in Swat called Bahrain, have set up check posts at the entrance to Bahrain and kidnap those they want, including young woman to use as they please.

“They’ve even warned the local schools to close the girl classes or face dire consequences. Yet the government says its writ is in Swat.”

Another Swat resident said: “Every day I see armed Taliban move around freely. At the time of prayer, if they see anyone in his shop or walking about, they whip him with a stick.”

Is it the case that Britain isn’t worried that Islam could take over here because there has been no public murders? There are many murders in Britain and are known as Honour killings.

A professor at Islamabad’s Quaid-e-Azam University and one of Pakistan’s leading intellectuals, Pervez Hoodbhoy, said, “The Taliban are steady and confident, the government is weak and faltering. A Taliban victory will enslave our women, destroy Pakistan’s rich historical and cultural heritage, make education and science impossible, and make the lives of its citizens impossibly difficult. Some are already contemplating an exodus.”

A military analyst based in Lahore, Hasan Askari Rizvi, said, “The Taliban will not stop at Swat. They will come towards Islamabad. If the army is to take action against them, it is going to be a really bloody battle and then civil government will be knocked out. Extremist groups based in Islamabad will move from within and they (Taliban) will build pressure from outside.”

Could Sharia be on its way to Britain? Well in some cases it already is but it could go even further if the EU has their way.

The EU is planning for family courts to use the laws of the country that the couple are closest to. I.e. a woman in Britain would have to abide by Sharia rather than British laws if she has a connection to Saudi Arabia.

Today, couples who live in the EU can file papers in any country and this is whose laws apply to the case.

The Centre for Social Justice believes that the reforms could slow cases down, lead to unjust results and increase costs.

States within the EU offer different financial advantages in the division of wealth in a divorce. The Centre for Social Justice says that this leads couples to get the most from the marriage rather than trying to save it

Nine EU states are said to want to push ahead with the reforms – this does not include Britain for the time being.

Although this would only apply in England and Wales, how long would this last for? Between going “solo” with devolution, then becoming a member of the EU (which Salmond thinks is the way to go) and the Fat Cats in Parliament, marching us headlong into the web of the EUSSR, what choice is there but to get out of the EU. The British National Party is the ONLY party serious about retaining our sovereignty and keeping our country the hell away from the Eurocrats of Brussels!

South of Scotland Organiser Joseph Gibson reports a successful days activity was held today in Dumfries City centre, Joe told news team “It was a wonderful and warm day for everyone, we leafleted the high street and in front of the Burns statue, the response was as expected, great”!
The message is spreading across Scotland thanks to activists like Joe and his team, well-done lads.
Joe finished by saying “We are 100% delighted with the response, and will be organising more activities for the South of Scotland on the run up to the EU elections”.

Mean-while Glasgow and West BNP went off to Holyrood to meet up with members of Lothian’s BNP to spread the word and show off their new flag in Edinburgh today.

Scotland like the rest of the UK is sleepwalking into a totalitarian state . Increasingly we witnessing examples of how law-abiding Britons are being treated as criminals and terrorists, whilst real criminals and terrorists are afforded every privilege possible.

Fact
In April 2008 Gareth Corkhill from Whitehaven fined £210 and given a criminal record by Cumbrian magistrates for overfilling his Wheelie bin by four inches.

Fact
In the same month Abu Qatada, who is Osama bin Laden’s right hand man in Britain was given the right to stay in the UK because his human rights would be infringed if he was deported to Jordan. He will as a result enjoy a life of benefits at our expense.

An agenda of extreme social engineering is unfolding that most of us have not voted for, nor may be fully aware of. This agenda’s purpose is the dismantling the natural order and replacing it with a false set of values which is then enforced by criminalising those who oppose them.

Fact
In spite of its own consultation exercise that revealed 89% of the people against the idea, the Scottish Executive enacted plans to allow ‘gay’ couples adopt children.

Fact
In January 2008 the SNP led executive announced a series of initiatives to increase the amount of community service orders for criminals as a alternative to jail. At the same time they unveiled legislation to ensure crimes committed against homosexuals would be classed as ’aggravated hate crimes’ and would carry harsher punishments than any committed against heterosexuals. The UK Government has actually now enacted legislation to ensure that criticism of gay lifestyles is a criminal offence.

The police force has been so corrupted that it no longer serves the interests of the majority of the people. Instead, promotion to senior rank depends on a candidate’s compliance to government social policy and its pandering to certain select minorities rather than good old fashioned ‘thief taking’ ability.

Quote
“the simple truth is that, unless a crime victim belongs to an ethnic minority, or is homosexual, or a prostitute, then senior police managers are not particularly interested’’
Mike Liddell – former Chief Inspector Strathclyde Police

Fact
Downs Syndrome sufferer Jamie Bauld got involved in a minor pushing and shoving incident with a fellow special needs student at Motherwell college. The girl concerned was a Asian so the politically correct zealots of the college hierarchy and local police ensured Jamie was charged with committing a ‘racial assault’.

Fact
In February 2008 the Lothian and Borders Police flew a ‘gay pride’ flag above their headquarters as
a demonstration of support for gays and lesbians.

“ For a priority of homophobic crime I would have to commit my officers to a clear up rate of 80%”

The pernicious doctrines of multi-culturalism and political correctness have turned us into a society where people are afraid to speak there mind and justice has been flipped on its head. Whilst obvious examples of discrimination against the majority are witnessed, people feel less empowered and reluctant to opposed this trend and increasingly are forced to accept what is going on. For instance we are all aware of the problem of illegal Gipsy/Traveller sites and the mess and disruption that accompanies them. In 2004 the Labour led Scottish Executive along with the Association of Chief Police Officers issued guidelines for addressing this issue. These stated that their illegal squatting was a an expression of their cultural identity which required sensitive handling.
In early 2008 when a large group of traveller camped on the car park of the Moray Leisure Centre the councils response was to negotiate with the travellers and avoid anything that would be thought of as ‘harassment’ towards them.
It is interesting that councils up and down the country don’t mind ‘harassing ‘ council tax payers who put the wrong item in the wrong wheelie bin or put their rubbish out too early. Yet they treat travellers with grovelling respect and commit thousands of pounds of council tax payers money on cleaning up after them.

Fact
In February 2007 council tax payer Mrs Madge Brown from Portlethen Aberdeenshire requested an extra wheelie bin to cope with the refuse of her large family when the collection service was reduced from weekly to fortnightly. The council sent out an assessor who rummaged through her existing bin then first threatened her with a fine for putting a drinks can in with the household waste before demanding to see the passports or other identification of all the people who lived in the house.

Fact
In March 2008 West Dunbartonshire Council announced that it was introducing special daily bin collections for illegal gipsy camps . Not only are these people privileged with more regular collections than council tax payers but they are not expected to recycle certain classes of rubbish as the council tax payers are.

Even if local councillors are not happy with what is going on there is not a lot they can do about it. Increasing councils have to operate within limits and policies laid down by national government and its agencies, who are in turn increasingly dictated to by the European Union. If any councillor breaches the boundaries of political correctness they are liable to be hauled in front of the standards committee. Most faced with such limitations are happy to draw their expenses and act as puppets to higher authorities

In truth if you are a normal, tax paying, law abiding citizen with no favoured minority status the message to you from the establishment is ‘pay up and shut up’.
There is only one political organisation in the UK that is willing to stand up to this establishment and its maniacal agenda. Because of this it draws universal condemnation from all the establishment political parties. That organisation is the British National Party.
The British National Party is made up of ordinary people like you who are willing to stick their heads above the parapet and fight your corner. Join us or vote for us when you can and send a message to the establishment that are not going to be pushed around any more.

An illegal immigrant who was deported in 2002, returned with a fake passport, abducted a nurse and kept her locked in the boot of a car has pleaded guilty at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Justice Ngema, 35, from South Africa abducted Nurse Magdeline Makola, 38 after inviting himself into her home and asking for a drink.

Mr Ngema, who had previously appeared at his victim’s home, then threatened Ms Makola with a knife, punched her in the head, bound, forced her to hand over details of her bank cards and then thrown into the boot of her own car where she stayed for 10 days without food or water and was on the brink of death.

She had to face sub-zero temperatures and believed she was taken to an airport, railway station and along the M8 motorway.

Concern was raised when she failed to turn up to work on the 18th of December, three days after she left work, and was finally found in Airdrie, Lanarkshire on Boxing Day in her own Vauxhall car.

When found, Ms Makola was screaming in pain as she had been forced to urinate where she lay and was suffering renal failure as a result of dehydration and muscle damage.

During the time Ms Makols was suffering in the boot of her car, Mr Ngema was living it up on her cards by going on a shopping spree, out on trips with his girlfriend, visiting bars and drinking champagne.

Morag McLaughlin, Area Procurator Fiscal for Lothian and Borders said, “This is a crime that shocked people in West Lothian and across the country. Justice Ngema abducted Magdeline Makola, tied her up and left her in the boot of her car. Ten days later, police officers found her still locked in the boot, bound and gagged, with no food or water and fading hopes of survival.”

Ngema pleaded guilty to 14 charges including assault to severe injury, abduction and robbery, and a series of thefts. He was remanded in custody to be sentenced in July.

Over the last 12 years, not a day goes by that a news story crops up and highlights the utter shambles and miss-management of our British borders by the failing Government. This news article is no exception.

Ed. Apologies to our website readers, the news team was down with a bug but we are up and running (well, casually walking) again. Thanks for your patience.

As we thought today at the count was an interesting affair, the Tories polled the highest amount of first preference votes but not the percentage needed to avoid the second preference count. (Full figures will be posted later)

Our candidate, Roy Jones survived the first round only to be knocked out at the third stage, the SNP went at the forth, Independent candidate Forbes fell at the fifth leaving the Tories and Lib-Dems both needing his voters second vote, this looked to be really close as the count restarted but soon became apparent that the Liberals were going to snatch this seat from the Tories.

We have gained invaluable experience from this local election both in the campaign and the election process itself, the STV system however is not working as it should due to the sheer number of voters who only vote for one or maybe two candidates instead of numbering all candidates in preference.

The staff at the count were very professional and polite to our team which is sadly more than can be said for the Liberals who took every chance to scowl at us in their infantile way, the SNP who looked close to crying at one time ignored us, only the Tory candidate Jo Pick and her election agent spoke to us in a civil manner.

We would like to thank the returning officer and his team for a job well done and look forward to our return visit in future elections.

PERVERT TRIES TO LURE CHILD AWAY IN HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS

A pupil at Crown Primary School in Inverness has been approached by a stranger and asked to go with him.

The child bravely refused to go with this deviant.

Other parents and children in the area have been warned of the incident by the headmistress Linda Cowie and to keep a look out for anything suspicious.

Anyone with any information should report to the police immediately.

£14,000 INTERNET THIEF SERVES NO JAIL TIME

An internet thief who stole £14,000 from a woman’s bank account after she failed to log off the public computer correctly has received a punishment of 100 hours of community service.

Max Glover, a 26-year-old university graduate, set up standing orders and transferred her balance into his own account.

When the woman complained to the Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh, they refused to reimburse her because of her “negligence” in failing to log off.

His lawyer said that the temptation had been too much as he his client had lost his job two months before the incident.

COP WHO PREYED ON WOMEN FLEES SCOTLAND

A cop who was jailed for 5 years after being convicted of three charges of abducting and sexually assaulting a woman in his police vehicle, using lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour towards a 15 year old female and assaulting a woman in Irvine has escaped to the Midlands to join his mother.

Dean Stewart, a former Royal Engineer, will remain on licence for two years and served his sentence at Peterhead Prison, which specialise in sex offenders.

Mr Stewart tried to appeal his conviction but failed.

A former victim said of the pervert, “He is a control freak and thought he could use his job to bully people into having sex with him.

“If he failed to persuade or intimidate women into what he wanted them to do he would assault them.

“He never expressed any remorse and he will soon be in a situation where he is hunting down women again.”

According to scientists the reason for the decline in population of seals is due to the competition for food and also they are being hunted by killer whales.

What the report fails to mention is that if there is a decline in the population and we should be concerned about this (which I feel we should be) then we have to ask why is there a decision to end the year-round protection given to common seals in Shetland on the 29th of April.

The Special Committee on Seals found although there is a minimum of 20,000 common seals in Scotland, there is a decline in the Northern Isles and Firth of Tay which has spread to Strathclyde.

Professor Ian Boyd, director of the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrews University, said: “Management recently introduced in the Moray Firth as a result of research sponsored by the Scottish Government is beginning to pay off.”

Environment and Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: “We know there are concerns about several aspects of current seals legislation, which is almost 40 years old. So we are currently considering options for new measures in the Marine Bill.”

Yet the UK Government has decided to lift a year-round ban on these seals so that anyone holding an appropriate, licensed firearm will be able to shoot seals at any time outside the animal’s breeding and pupping season from June to August.

Yet Scottish Office scientists have stressed there is no question of the animals being culled.

Common seal numbers reached a low of 1,750 in 1973 but now have a population of 6,000 in Shetland which the island and Scottish Office experts describing the population as “self sustaining”

Lord Sewel Scottish Office Fisheries Minister, said: “For the past four years the population of common seals in Shetland has been recorded at a minimum of 6,000 animals, demonstrating a healthy recovery from the 1,750 which existed when the current prohibition arrangements were introduced.

“My scientific advisers assure me that the present population should prove self-sustaining and that the special protection given to the Shetland seals is no longer justified. All common seals and grey seals will continue to be protected during their breeding and pupping seasons.” – Really?

Animal rights group, Animal Concern, has criticised the decision to end the year-round protection given to common seals on Shetland.

John Robins, organising secretary of Animal Concern, said: “It is very disappointing that part of the very limited protection given to seals is being withdrawn.

“The fact of the matter is that the 1970 Conservation of Seals Act should have been published on toilet paper. It’s worthless and does not protect seals.”

He claimed that seals could be killed “at any time of the year” as long as an individual had a variation of a firearms certificate, and the animals were “near” a fishing operation.

“There is no official cull in Scotland; that horrifies people – so they shoot all year round, and it is not focused in one area at one time and because it is not focused there is no public outcry.”

Animal Concern estimates that around 5,000 seals are killed in Scotland every year. The organisation says there are about 30,000 common seals and 140,000 grey seals living in Scottish waters.

An Indian immigrant living in Perth by the name of Dr Swarthick Salins, who had the backing from not only the media but also First Minister Alex Salmond after his story was all over the media, has been allowed to stay in Britain.

Dr Salins, an academic, has been a “guest” in Scotland for nine years and has three children was ordered to be deported by a judge in Glasgow after his bank balance fell below £800. What has not been mentioned in the news reports is why someone that is a “doctor” with decent wages had less than £800 in the bank? Seems rather odd!

Salmond wrote to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith urging her to intervene (you would have thought she had more important issues to think about).

It is also being reported that Dr Salins had also received support from Scottish bus tycoon Ann Gloag, whose charity had helped support him during his time at university. That was very nice of her. I wonder how many “Old Scots” rather than Salmond’s “New Scots” have received this sort of support?

In a statement, the UK Border Agency said a fresh application made by Dr Salins had been successful.

A spokesperson added: “We have a duty to ensure that migrants are able to support themselves and their dependants when they are in the UK. We make the criteria very clear. However, it is flexible enough to ensure that we can re-examine cases where new information is supplied.”

Dr Salins’s solicitor, Angela McCracken, said he was “delighted” with the decision.

“He is pleased that his family is safe and that they can remain in Scotland, where they have made their home,” she added.

Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy said: “I am delighted the family can put the anxiety of the past few days behind them and can now stay in Scotland. I wish them the best for their future life here.”

It is always encouraging to see that the government departments i.e. the UK Border Agency and the Home Office, are sticking to the tight rules that govern us. The danger is that this could now set precedence for other would be immigrants that fall below the threshold.

Activists were out leafleting on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in Strathdon, Corgaff, Bellabeg and Tarland, getting out as many leaflets as possible.

Today Roy and Elise Jones visited every polling station in the ward and drove around with BNP banners and flags flying proudly.

North East Scotland’s Roy Jones has given this by-election the best effort we could have given it considering our resources and the huge size of the ward. We now look forward to going to the count tomorrow, should be an interesting affair to say the least.

Roy said tonight “I would like to thank again all the activists that have helped me over the past few weeks, all the messages I have received from throughout Scotland have been very uplifting and of course the support of Elise, my wife, in this campaign.
We can now only wait and see”.

Bus drivers from Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary have been taught Glaswegian phrases to help assist passengers at First Transport Company.

Phrases like “Geezan aw day tae the toon” (”Give me an all-day ticket to town”) and “Wanan’a hauf please” (”One adult and a child please”) have been taught to the Eastern Europeans as they cannot understand the Glaswegian dialect.

A driver at First, James Lillis, said, “When new employees come to Scotland and hear the Glasgow accent, it can be a problem.

“A lot of them understand normal English, having been taught it at school, but when they come to Glasgow they cannot make out a word people say.”

He added: “They have trouble making out the meaning of common phrases such as ‘big man’ and ‘nae bother’.”

Mr Lillis, who took a ten-week Polish course to help new staff deal with the Glaswegian accent, is being presented with lifelong learning award from education minister Fiona Hyslop.

That was so nice my heart went all fuzzy inside until I remembered we have high unemployment in this country with many people who would jump at the chance to train as a bus driver which would keep the money in the country. There would also be no problem in decoding the Glaswegian dialect either.

British jobs for British workers.

When the British National Party says it – we mean it!

Another day was spent on the campaign trail in Deeside on Sunday where our leafleteers basked in glorious sunshine pounded the streets of Aboyne delivering a ‘vote for Roy Jones’ leaflet with the ‘say no to EU rule’ one.

At the same time our candidate canvassed shoppers in the town centre where he was well received yet surprised to find the level of voters apathy to be at an all time high.
While people were happy to stop and speak many expressed their disillusionment with politics and politicians by saying they would not be bothering to vote for anyone!

On a good note those he spoke to were well aware of the BNP standing in this election something that has also been picked up on by the press who ran the usual quotes from an outraged liberal Dem councillor (is there any other sort?) stating that we have no right to be standing in his back yard, very democratic! Since this excuse of a public servant lacks the courage to even debate with us he has no right to complain. The people of Deeside will make their own minds up who they vote for on Thursday.

The fact that this election uses the transferable vote system means the out come is far from clear, which party gains the second vote from the two independent candidates supporters will certainly make things interesting.

Roy has worked hard over the last month to put the BNP marker down in Deeside and in that respect is all ready a winner, we have never contested this ward so this is a first step for BNP Scotland here that has already gained supporters, activists and another future candidate.

We will of course be hoping to see a good percentage at the count on Friday to give us a measure of things to come in June. But whatever happens Roy and his team are winners in progressing the party North of the border.

Saturday 18th saw the unfurling and inaugural presentation of a brand new high quality ceremonial Flag and Standard bearing the BNP roundel. The flag is hand-made by skilled British craftsmen.

BNP Scotland has been busy over the past 10 days. Tuesday 7th April saw the team in Buchanan Street and Friday 10th saw the team again distributing leaflets throughout the city centre. On Saturday 11th, two of our Euro-candidates travelled to Carlisle for a media training day. The team was back in action on Wednesday 15th, and distributed over 1000 leaflets in Glasgow city centre.

Saturday 18th saw five BNP Scotland activists – including Euro-candidates Charlie Baillie and Max Dunbar – distributed over 1000 leaflets in Alva and Stirling town centres.

As usual our activists dealt satisfactorily with a wide range of questions on policy issues, from an interested public.

Euro-candidate Charlie Baillie said, “The BNP is the only political party in Scotland which is campaigning on the streets and alerting the public to the fact that the Euro-elections are on Thursday 4th June. At this important election, Scotland is one constituency. This means everyone in Scotland will get a chance to vote for the BNP. Every vote counts towards the percentage necessary to put a British National Party candidate from Scotland in the European Parliament. So please put that date in your diary and remember to Vote BNP!”

Our local election candidate Roy Jones, reporting from the front, sent in the following despatch tonight.

“Our day started early at 0700hrs with a 55 mile drive to Braemar to meet up with the leafleting team, although early the drive through Strathdon and Deeside was stunning and made myself and Elise appreciate even more just what a beautiful country this is”.

The leaflet team set to work in earnest and got every property leafleted in a few hours whilst Mr and Mrs Jones canvassed people in the centre of the village.

The team then proceeded down to Ballater, where as you can see from the photo, they visited the queen’s summer retreat on Deeside and left a leaflet for her perusal.

Ballater was leafleted through out the afternoon after a sterling effort by the team who were very well received in the town, a number of people even wanting Vote BNP signs for their windows, general discussions were held with people from all walks of life that agreed with the BNP manifesto and wanted more information concerning BNP policies.

Sadly even in this picturesque part of Scotland the team encountered one of the usual lefties with the usual rant, who then tried to engage in a debate about our politics, her argument was swiftly shot down in flames!

Roy finished up by telling the news team, “By this time we were just about out on our feet but decided to have a quick stop in a pub in Strathdon on the way home, here more support was offered by a family group who had just moved back to Scotland after living in Dover, they told us that the people in Scotland are so far unaware of the horrors that are to become them, and it was about time the BNP told them the truth. Their vote was in the bag “!!!

“We had a great day and will be carrying on right up until polling day on Thursday.
Many thanks again to my wife Elise, Mike, John, big Stevie and Chris, my leafleting team for the day”.

BNP Scotland leader Gary Raikes made a brief appearance on BBC Radio Scotland today which was discussing the heavy handedness of police officers at demonstrations. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00js1y8 about 52mins in (Gary from Aberdeen)

Mr Raikes was eager to defend the police force and pointed out that the focus was on two events one sadly led to a fatality but that thousands of good police officers carried out their duties everyday in difficult situations, “ the police are the thin blue line and without them chaos would ensue in this country” he went on to say “we have to stop the political correctness that bounds them and let the police get on with their job”.

The people complaining about the police at these demonstrations are the same people that would be quick to complain about response times, what do they expect when officers are tied up policing these almost inclusively left wing organised events!

The Homecoming advert (supposedly this was a Lib Dem idea, then a Labour idea, then a SNP idea) has been criticised as having too much taxpayers money spent on it.

Nearly £600,000 was spent on the advert and it is reassuring that the stars that appeared in the ad didn’t get paid for their appearance although £1,550 was paid for their expenses.

Other costs were;

£233,450 cost of production (including filming, production, and producer/director fees

£299,287 transmission costs

£10,000 to screen on American TV

£15,000 music usage for a year

Tourism minister Tim Mather’s spokesperson said “The bottom line is that the Year of Homecoming is set to deliver £40m extra in Scottish tourism revenue and 100,000 additional visitors, turning around a threatened downturn and giving our tourism industry a huge boost in a tough economic climate”.

Funny that 60% of the events heralded for the Homecoming event were originally going ahead anyway and the SNP have just rebranded successful events to deceive the public (and themselves).

It would be interesting to see if any of these 100,000 additional visitors are here for the “homecoming” or whether they are the “new Scots” Salmond keeps talking about. After all the old Scots will be gone in roughly 15 years leaving the younger generation to become a minority in their own country well before they reach retirement age.

The EU is, once again, introducing ridiculous legislation. This time they require every one of the 30 million sheep in Britain to wear a hi-tech tag which can monitor their every movement which will “help contain an outbreak of disease”.

From January 1st 2010 farmers will have to stump up 92% of the cost themselves which includes £5,000 for an electronic tag reader and up to £1.50 per tag.

British farmers will be expected to carry out 92 per cent of the expected £65 million costs, markets and collection centres five per cent and abattoirs three per cent.

Farmers say that the tags are unnecessary, crazy and will force them out of business.

A farmer from Pilning, near Bristol, said: “We are prepared to fight this to the bitter end.

“The strength of feeling is such that it is quite possible we will see farmers taking to the streets. We are just not being listened to. And we need our government firmly behind us.

“We have 30 million sheep in this country – probably more than the rest of Europe put together.

“They want each one of those sheep to be individually identified. And farmers are saying ‘No, it’s just not possible’. This could do to the sheep industry what TB is doing to the cattle industry.”

John Mercer, chief livestock adviser to the National Farmers’ Union, said: “It’s a crazy rule. It’s not wanted. It’s not needed. And it could, potentially, devastate the sheep industry. We really need political pressure now.”

Farmers believe that the technology is flawed especially on hill farms where there are flocks of many thousands of sheep.

This idea to tag every sheep in Europe was adopted by the stasi EU in 2003 but has been delayed due to farmers’ objections and will cost £109million.

The UK is home to Europe’s largest flock and, in a report complied by the Joint Research Centre – which advises the government on technical issues – they have warned farmers here will be hardest hit which is why farmers are still lobbying to make the scheme voluntary.

Derek Morgan, Farmers Union of Wales’ hill farming committee chairman said: “I dread to think what the full costs to the EU sheep industry will be.

“This report simply adds to the already overwhelming evidence that shows that costs of EID are completely disproportionate, while the benefits are negligible, and could actually be negative in the case of a disease outbreak.

“We are committed to fighting this ridiculous legislation to the bitter end and this is yet more evidence which totally undermines the basis on which the Council of Ministers has made their decisions.

“However, the industry must also brace itself and start planning on the assumption that it will come in next year, because the majority of member states are hell-bent on ignoring the evidence.”

This is just another example of the loss we as a country will have to put up with as the elected governments over the last few decades have colluded with the EU to destroy Britain. The only real option people have is to elect a government that will stand up for the British people and fully withdraw and tear up any “treaty” that seeks to take ownership of this sovereign nation.

First of all what has to be done is for the people of this country to wake up and vote the British National Party on June the 4th. Then and only then will you have a true voice to challenge these “Eurocrats” in Brussels.

Secondly, when the next general election is called again vote the British National Party so we can end this madness of EU rule and take our country back and serve the people of Britain!
