The modus operandi for the English establishment to control Scotland has remained constant throughout 300 years of history: bribes of people in the right positions.We need to look further in time to the root cause of all this conspiracy. Personally, I do not think it was just a matter of Mr Salmond seeking independence.In my opinion, the root cause was that if Scotland had become independent before brexit took place, which is precisely what Mr Salmond appeared to have been aiming for in 2016 and 2017, the VIP taxdogers’ dream for England to become a financially viable fiscal paradise out of the EU, would have been impossible without dragging England into financial ruin and having to face the English people, skewered them as a kebab (metaphorically speaking) with their pitchforks.It is my opinion that this political conspiracy has signs of having been a collusion of multiple partners from the very start . The coordination of partners in crime appears to be such that even the setting of a precedent (if not a test run) in Scotland where a senior minister breaches the ministerial code and then forceful infromation suppression, a phoney parliamentary inquiry and the COPFS are used to let them get away with it, has conveniently come in handy when the clowns in the cabinet down south are in need of a quick escape route after it has been made obvious they broke the ministerial code in the most blatant fashion.It is all about standards, isn’t it? If the standard of not breaking the code is changed for that of breaking it so this becomes the norm, then basically ministers, or rather those moving their strings, can do what they want. Isn’t it a wonderful coincidence that both standards of corruption and contempt for the ministerial code north and south of the border are aligning?In my opinion this collusion started even before 14 November 2014. Taking control of the SNP in November 2014 was necessary to stop a landslide majority of SNP MPs calling indyref or terminating the union. I would go even further and suggest that in my opinion this collusion was pursued the very moment the English establishment took the decision for England to exit the EU to escape particular tax avoidance legislation, specially related to tax havens transparency. This was before 2012. And yes, this means I am of the opinion as well that indyref14 was rigged to ensure brexit would go ahead for the sake of England, and that any other referendum in the near future will be rigged again to force us further into this devolution limbo.There is no doubt in my mind that England alone, without trade deals, without an umbilical cord attaching it to Scotland’s resources and Scotland’s market, would have not been able to survive financially on its own out of the EU. You know the constant bombardment from Brown, Miliband and many others about how terrible it would be for Scotland to have a hard border with England in 2014?Well, if at t hat time you had looked at that hard border from the perspective of an England out of the EU, you would have seen an isolated England if Scotland decided to return to the EU single market. You would have seen an England that should it had chosen to decrease its standards compared to those of the EU to facilitate trade deals with other partners, it would have been immediately surrounded by hard borders to Scotland, France, and Ireland, drastically reducing its “domestic” market. You would also see that unless acted upon before Scotland had a chance to return to the EU, Scotland’s policies would have been still in line with the EU ones so it could easily go back to the single market and replace England as a trading partner with all the other countries of the EU. You would have seen that if Scotland had returned to the EU it would have been able to tap on all the EU trade deals in place, while England would struggle to start new ones. You would had seen that the border did not look much of a problem for Scotland, particularly if this found a way to avoid England’s ports to send its exports to the EU and beyond. It would have looked like a huge problem for England.If England was to decrease its standards, as it has now done, and Scotland was in the EU keeping EU standards, England would no longer have been able to continue using Scotland’s market as an extension of its own domestic one. It may be a smaller percentage, but England still exports to Scotland far more than what it imports from it. For the same reason, England would not have been able to export its produce to Ireland either.Add to this situation that England has a deficit of trade of goods of over £100 bn per year, and you will guess quickly what would happen to Sterling if Scotland had its own currency so Scotland’s solid assets could no longer be used to prop Sterling. Sterling would plunge, increasing those £100 bn per year of deficit of trade of goods accordingly.And if England could no longer borrow against those Scottish assets, what would happen to England’s debt? What solid assets does England have that can sell? Do we all begin to see why Mr Salmond had to be separated from those MPs and from any position from where he could have been able to bring independence before brexit and before England had at least sufficient trade deals to survive on its own?It is my opinion that Mr Salmond posed an additional risk for the English establishment: his choice of exit route for Scotland out of the UK. The assumption that England will become the successor state can only be made if Scotland demotes itself to the status of a region trying to secede from the parent “country” which is the fictitious “nation” called “UK of Great Britain”. Because if the exit route Scotland takes is the correct one, meaning exercising its right as an equal signatory to dissolve the international and bipartite treaty of union, then that “UK of Great Britain”, “nation” underpinned by that treaty, ceases to exist. At that point, who becomes the continuator state will have to be agreed between both signatory partners. Needless to say that becoming the continuator state has lots of perks, that England and its warmongers desperately want, like all those seats in international organisations and of course all those trade deals recently cut with Australia, New Zealand etc, and of course other treaties, like the Treaty of Utrecht, for example or all the government structures, committees, embassies, etc, Those are an awful lot of concessions for Scotland to simply let go without a serious negotiation during the dissolution of the treaty where they are offered in exchange for something of similar value ifor Scotland. We all know that, differently to Sturgeon, Mr Salmond is no push over, so one could guess the negotiations would not go all that rosey for the presumptuous and self-entitled grandees in the English establishment who want their cake (and ours) and eat it.It is my opinion that Mr Salmond had to be removed from Westminster, from the SNP and from front line politics, using whatever means possible to stop independence before Brexit, but also to avoid the risk that England could ever face the scenario of not becoming the UK continuator state and losing all those deals, treaties, seats and many other goodies.It is my opinion that from the point of view of the English establishment, Scotland’s independence can not possibly happen unless England remains as the successor state and inherits all those goodies, unless England set the rules regarding what government structures Scotland can have, about what standards Scotland can have, about who controls Scotland’s market and assets, about what currency Scotland can have, about what trading partners Scotland can deal with, who it can sell or rent its assets to and what kind of politics and economics tendencies and immigration policies Scotland can choose. I have no doubt that among those demands is that Scotland can no longer go back to the EU and put a hard border between England and Scotland that would limit “England’s domestic market”. Such situation might be still called “independence” in official papers, but it ain’t such a thing. It is devo max/federalism in all but name.It is my opinion that the faux cries from elements of the SNP claiming Scotland not being dragged out of the EU against our will or Scotland having a right to a choice, were just distracting soundbites to keep us looking away while they helped the English establishment to remove us out of the EU and change all our structures to stop us returning.The English establishment would have never got away with it if Mr Salmond had been in the SNP and in any position to influence that majority of SNP MPs, and in a position to demand indyref to be called sooner. Hence the current puppet removing the wheels from the SNP to stop independence.All this would explain nicely why Sturgeon sat on her hands and let the withdrawal bill that constitutes an assault on Scotland’s popular sovereignty, pass while the SNP MPs legitimised the assault with their sitting in Westminster. This would explain why she removed the SNP wheels to avoid it doing anything other than legitimising every assault on Scotland with their presence in Westminster’s parliament.This would explain her determination to eliminate every route for Scotland’s independence that is not seen as secession from the fictitious “UK of Great Britain country” handing to it all authority and control in the process. This would explain why Sturgeon and her acolytes pander to the English convention of “parliamentary sovereignty”, why she continues to insist Scotland needs a section 30, which would never be needed if Scotland takes the route of ending the treaty of union as a signatory partner instead of a region of the UK of Great Britain, which is what she appears to expect us to do.This would also explain why this woman let the 2016 mandate (gained when Mr Salmond was still in the SNP and Westminster) expire and in doing so flushed down the toilet all those many changes of circumstances that could have been used as the legitimate reason to terminate the treaty.This would also explain why this woman is throwing all Scotland’s main assets in the hands of either England MPs or corporations with HQ in England, avoiding the people of Scotland getting the actual benefit from them. It seems what she has been doing is closing every real independence door, so we are forced to remain in this limbo, at the mercy of England’s establishment and where at some point we might even be declared “officially” autonomous, but in practice we will remain as an extension of England’s market, currency and rule.It is my opinion that for as long as this compromised “leader” and her toothless SNP remain “in power”, should we push for independence before England has managed to secure enough control of our assets, market, currency, standards, has locked us in enough trade deals to stop us trading with anybody else, the English establishment will find a way to keep us permanently into this limbo that they might rebrand as “devo max”, FFA, confederalism, home rule, full fiscal responsibility, federalism to give impression we are moving forward in the route of autonomy when we are not. There have been noises about a third ballot option for quite some time among unionist ranks. But there are also comments from some unionist quarters that Scotland will not accept Devo Max or FFA until the independence referendum is “tested”. I would not be surprised if, facing calls for a plebiscite or to terminate the treaty of union, they present us with a “vow mark 2” where Devo Max, federalism or whatever is “given” to us as a consolation “prize” after yes “loses” in a referendum rigged with a flawed franchise, by keeping open all back doors to allow gerrymandering by the English establishment at all times or, as a last resort, directly rigging the postal ballots. The period of time from the day of the EU referendum to the 31 January 2020 was the most vulnerable period in modern history for England. This was the precise time when VIP taxdogers’s pursuit of brexit could have been frustrated should an indyref have been called or independence declared on the basis of the repealing of the treaty of union. And that is why Mr Salmond had to be evicted first from Westminster with tactical voting, then from the SNP with an unlawful complaints procedure and a leak to the press, and then from front line politics, with a fabricated criminal case and the pumping of industrial amounts of reputation destroying propaganda with the help of a colluding press and government quangos. This is why in my opinion the attack on Mr Salmond never started in Holyrood and was never planned in Scotland. It was planned and started elsewhere, but had to be delivered in Scotland. The idiots in Holyrood and the SNP who took part on this might have been pawns in a chess game designed to remove Mr Salmond from politics for good, but they were willing pawns, let’s not forget. This was a chess game where those idiots had to be the ones delivering the blow, because should it have been obvious it was the English establishment delivering the blow and they would not have been able to contain the demands for independence even with their procrastinator in chief in Bute House. That Westminster deliberately left the door for a direct mutual interference between the COPFS and the cabinet in Scotland when both entities are separate in England gives clues that the Establishment has had its hand on this from day one.It is interesting that those powers remained separated under Salmond but only because he actively sought it to be that way – another reason to remove him to restore the interference. Let’s not forget that it was the COPFS who drove the criminal case, how tied the hands of the Parliamentary Inquiry and who gagged Mr Salmond’s lawyers in both his criminal defence case and during this declaration in the Parliamentary inquiry. Let’s not forget either that UK civil service operating in Scotland were up to their eyebrows on this.What is the only plausible scenario where the SNP executive could work with the UK civil service in the Sgov, with the COPFS, the press and the police to help sending a former politician to jail on false charges? What is the only plausible scenario where all those elements including those who appear to have lied under oath in a court of law, are being protected by a judge, the government cabinet, the COPFS and parliament by suppressing evidence? What is the only plausible explanation for Westminster not having done anything when Mr David Davies exposed in Westminster this disgraceful level of corruption and abuse of the COPFS in Scotland?I can only think of one: a massive collusion of each and every one of those elements with the British state.Sturgeon survived to see another day in politics because Westminster is protecting her through the COPFS. Those civil servants remain in post because they are being protected by Whitehall when they should have been sacked for gross misconduct and reckless use of public funds. Those in the SNP who participated in this are being protected by the COPFS who is silencing all those whatsapp messages. The unprincipled perjurers who actively helped in attempting to send an innocent man to jail are being protected by the COPFS, a life-long anonimity clause issued by a judge and were allowed to use the BBC and government quangos as a loudspeaker to continue smearing an innocent man.Despite the blatant abuse of the COPFS on all this and despite this being highlighted in Westminster quite a while ago by David Davies, the back door for the English establishment to stick its hand and stir the pot by coordinating the work of the COPFS with that of a puppet government in Scotland, reminds wide open and ready to be abused again on demand |
MY COMMENTS
Mia certainly raises some concrete reasons of the attractions for both Holyrood and Westminster to work together in this ”political assassination“. That there could exist at the top levels of the main Party advocating Independence people happy to betray their country and indulge in such despicable plotting is very sobering. Yet when you look at what has happened to the fight for Independence ever since the trial it is not hard to outline the series of great opportunities to move our case forward but which have been completely spurned by those in charge. They have been building barriers not clearing the path. Time is running out for them BUT that same time is running out for Scotland as well.
I am, as always
Yours for Scotland.
BEAT THE CENSORS
Sadly some sites had given up on being pro Indy sites and have decided to become merely pro SNP sites where any criticism of the Party Leader or opposition to the latest policy extremes, results in censorship being applied. This, in the rather over optimistic belief that this will suppress public discussion on such topics. My regular readers have expertly worked out that by regularly sharing articles on this site defeats that censorship and makes it all rather pointless. I really do appreciate such support and free speech in Scotland is remaining unaffected by their juvenile censorship. Indeed it is has become a symptom of weakness and guilt. Quite encouraging really.

Welcome to my long-awaited blog page. Friends have been urging me to do this for years but the technology frightened me. Now thanks to Dave Beveridge and my oldest daughter Laura I am finally in business.
This blog will be totally pro-Independence for Scotland and I hope to comment on all the topical issues of the day using a bit of humour and controversy wherever I can.
I hope you find it an entertaining and informative read and will recommend it to your friends.
