On a regular tv show here "Britain's Got Talent" that corner got publicity dance troupe centring on that subject by their actions . However may watchers not taken with the content and 13,000 put in complaints to Ofcom. It apparently included a kneeking incident to emphasise their corner. Utterly ridiculous the way that corner is going on here in Britain.
The Scottish Parliament election is due next year but the SNP started getting MSPs not going to continue standing and slowly crept up over en now it is up to 15!
Recently a late teenage lad in England was on his motorbike and a car came round the corner and ran into him and he was killed. The woman had came from an air base used by the US here and she was driving on the wrong side of the road! Her husband is a member of US intelligence and she fled the UK as fast as could. Stupid enough her driving on the wrong side but getting off with it as the US regarded her as exempt when she i NOT in intelligence just the wife of a man who is.
How ignorant is that tragic death incident and yet America defends her!! There is some talk here of authority doing a form of law case but she will still not be here. Disgusting and rhe two saddened parents been on tv repeatedly on this terrible thing.
I have noted that Alex Neil a long time senior MSP in the Scottish Parliament and former minister is standing down as are a group of well knows but he to my Unionist status was very different in a sense. Like me he was a Brexiteer supprter and completely different from his party. He has questioned an independent Scotland going back to the EU, Euro and border problems with England as well as 60% of Scots business linked to Gt Britain. So for a change an SNP man I liked!!
All Under One Banner is an organisation that gets people from all over to come and march with them in support of Scottish independence. It's leader has been jailed bu a court here in Glasgow. Back in 2019 they organised a mas march from Kelvingrove Park through the city centre to finish at Glasgow Green (Park). I was in the city centre the dayof it with a group of Unionists with flags to protest with flags. What surprised us was where was the dashed thing as it did not reach the city centre in adequate time. Turned out he was seen by the police and indeed was nearly two hours later in leaving! He had also refused to accept some street rules as well and why the police did not stop the clown being an awkward man is beyond me. Anyway Mandeep Sing was in court this week and refused to accept an order from the judge that he should be at home for over 70 days between think it was 6.30am to 6.30pm. However the smart alex refused to accept that decision so got jailed for that period!
I am of course a staunch Unionist but had no objection to them marching and the respectable group I was with on the pavement had passing amusing shouts to the nationalists and them back but their leader acting like he did against the police and the City Council (ran by his lot!) utterly stupid. He organises an event and a time set then ignores the time as claimed needed giver folk coming a distance to get there! Apart from the banter between them passing us at the Square was mostly harmless and sometimes funny with both sides. Only irritation was an idiot carrying an Irish Republic flag but seeing us quickly lowered it.
So although I did not object in their right the idiocy of their leader is a groan and deserved jail.
Personally I am not a Trump fan but equally no more impressed on the Democrat nominee Biden. It will not matter a straightforward damn which wins the election in November. The tens of millions on food stamps, over 2 million in jails, people on death row for months and years, staying in Cuba too much spent on military events just continue all the dashed time. Even Obama was no great change and a pity that democracy is a talk over the pond and not a real fact for too many.
Years ago news was more spaced out but in modern times gradually moved into 24 hours which is a groan. A routine utterly daft thing is when the announcer says they will now speak to their reporter outside of No 10 Downing Street or say outside a Ministry Office. More ridiculous is when they say they are going to hear from a tv person at No 10 who is just there standing in the street with the door as a background yakking away! Along with that is getting a word from a reporter late at night in the dark making a comment outside a Ministry building and nobody about. Bonkers and treating us like idiots.
On the news programmes constantly leaning at women doing news leading and often when they are contacting some reporter to report on something also tends to be a women. Regional news up here is likewise. Even on one report regarding the school exams argument on one BBC report even all the school pupils interviewed were female!
Every day on a platform usually in the middle of thee going on and on regarding the virus yakking. I understand wee people feel at a disadvantage to make up for but this is a groan.
Its is now over 4,000 who have sailed across the damn Channel to alight in southern England coast. The French are doing almost sod all and in one tv report they showed that parts of French coast not checked at all abd sailing seen moving off. Maybe France thinks that is okay as they want to leave and go somewhere better but it is a damnable ridiculous thing constantly letting our British population to soar up for far too long. Crept up from a once 48 million an this island is getting ridiculous with 66 million and now estimates this will get to 70 million and keep going as those getting here have bigger families and also costing heavy costs. When one considers the size of this island and getting too many folk in the population I get angry at so-called liberal minds who taken no notice of such things. Some even think there could be a hundred million at the end of the century.
A Church of England cathedral has replaced a picture of the last supper by having a black Christ. Is this thing getting wonky or are we to get refused another direction or wonder what to really think? No-one in their sensible ,ind wants to cheer for racism but this black getting negatives is a pain. Adverts on our television here in Gt Britain regularly have coloured leaning ones as well as mixed ones showing. We get groaning comments sometimes against people in history over the last two or three centuries yet suitably ignore the hard historical truth that slavery went on for a great many centuries and there were Asian Muslims involved in it and included white people stolen and made slaves. Even in African people there got involved in slavery so it is not something that is the sole label on one group namely white folk. Places like Africa were not very progressive and in the long run it was white people that led the eventual direction of education and getting inherent people the chance to improve. That such a continent still has problems decades after freedom shows an inherent local problem.
I will also add that this recent thing about sports events starting with people on one knee is a groan and those that stick a hand up with a clenched fist are portraying a very leftist thing. When we get the stuff about black people being less fortunate we ignore what is seen on television programmes, famous coloureds in sports and so on. However such are almost ignored because it does not suit this going over the top with BLM cries. I have been active in adult and youth organisations that were not racial but interwoven however I am getting fed up with all this nonsense we get even here in the UK and our society if you do not agree with those who limit their brain side you are automatically racist. Certain places in the world have deep problems I know but we are getting too much nonsense and if white and want to have the democratic right to say challenge something here racial guff is thrown to you. Things are being too imbalanced and created by extreme political small brain and too many people frightened to say anything different. I in passing just happen to be white but not apologising for it!
The Office for Statistics Regulations has rebuked over Nicola Sturgeon's repeated claim that coronvirus rates in England are 5 times higher than Scotland.
It says that it had been "difficult" to identify the evidence for the claim. It said the sources later cited by the Scottish government "do not allow for a meaningful comparison to be made".
I could see the point if there was a definitive and obvious situation over all the would-be Russian involvement in this country re elections, . This stuff has even been raised at high political level by parliamentarians yet for all the airing and the press there is in hard facts no proof! Politicians have gone bananas thinking that just raising it all without proof is enough. Even that Scottish First Minister has added the last Scottish referendum wasaffected by Russia? The whole thing is getting daft to put it simply.
Racism and things kike slavery lasted for centuries and well over 2000 years. There were times and places before white people became predominate in the world where coloured people involved in slavery. In present day times the furore going on in America is a sad time however the large proportion of black people in jail is indicating something and that is crime. Would passingly conform that the shooting of the black man that in turn caused all the black lives matter thing was sad but he was no innocent. Had a record and been in jail and stole a weapon of a policeman. In itself that did not justify the executing on the man which was wrong and part of a long history of violent police there. No doubt with so many poor areass where large numbers of black folk live are not very nice and the matter has never been properly dealt with in that country. In other well know countries there are massive crime matters such as well known South Africa and Nigeria amongst others. Too many of us ignore such matters and hey are incapable of dealing with issues.
The recent national election in Russia brought a tight situation and glaring issues with that SF lot.Eventually after a delay trying to have a government there was a coalition between the two main parties and a share with the Greens.That in itself kept the Sinn Fein out and that was encouraging but this former PM has said publicly that the two main parties should amalgamate being so close.
Makes me wonder why so much is spent in vast massive sums to send rockets all into the Universe and even some would-be experts musing on getting us to places like Mars. What a load of cobblers and not much real point to the general people who live on Earth.
There has been a constant and vastly big rise in that Church since the collapse of the terrible USSR. Men training to be clergy and everywhere churches brought back in vast numbers with the clergy encouraged to have strong families when married. Now the latest and brand new on has the highest steeple in the country and is a military cathedral. Vast majority of the military statistically regard themselves as Orthodox nowadays. Every week several churches are added and being very much part of the country. Now the country has in the poll agreed that like the Orthodox only men and women can marry each other.
As a frequent visitor to N. Ireland and took boys camps there for many years it is the worst of the 4 parts of the UK for rail decline and nothing much happening. When the railways were taken over by the government at Stormont in 1948 within a short time lines started getting shut and it fell eventually from over 800 to barely over 200 miles. One line is suspended and about 18 miles long connected both ends to two main lines. Not too long ago some 10,000 petitioned to get the line from Portadown to Armagh back but got poor response. Bit sad really and here in Scotland we have had 5 passenger lines brought back and now a 5th to be added after a gap of decades. One of them over 30 miles long!
As a life long lover of railways and very into rail simulators every week there are regular programmes about passenger rail interests here. One series with the ex-minister Michael Portillo on lines visits in Scotland, England, Wales, Ulster, Eire. Chris Tarrant doing an hour long visit to national passenger rail across the world and a former actor doing something similar in a series.
I see that Twitter has now decided to shut down certain word descriptions to be more inclusive (??). The words are 'master', 'slave' and 'blacklist.' Utterly ridiculous and our intelligence and sense being rubbished. Completely stupid and nonsense. I will not forget them and as always done use them properly. Indeed I will continue to master problems slave on with challenges and blacklist things that are not sense.
