Dear All
One thing of the things which dominated the
Scottish independence referendum of 2014 was serial lying by the Scottish
National Party and their cohorts. Hardly a day went by when the lies weren’t
attempted to be fostered on the Scottish population. The other aspect of the 2014
referendum was the emergence of hatred which the SNP had stoked up at their
party conferences. Anti Englishness was disguised as ‘Westminster’ is the
problem. This has now publicly emerged to now take the form of cheap banners for the rent a mob Nats.
Banners proclaiming ‘England get out of Scotland’ which is a replica of the Sinn
Fein banner ‘word for word’ banner except instead of Scotland, they used
Ireland.
Lying and hatred was all the SNP had to
argue for independence since they chosen the grim reality of what independence
meant. For the people, it was to be austerity beyond belief, it was to see
living standards fall, it was a sham.
Those who chose to campaign for Scottish
independence where also peddling another lie, that they were campaigning for
independence when in fact they were doing no such thing. The SNP wanted to end the union to give up
power and sovereignty to a foreign political organization called the EU. In
this new arrangement, a Scottish voice would be smaller, and critically have no
power, Scotland like many smaller countries would be asset stripped of our
resources like Greece. Budgets for Scotland would need to be approved by the EU
as Scottish politicians would be mere puppets.
In 2012, at the launch of the Scottish independence
campaign at Cineworld in Edinburgh, a motley crew assembled which I dubbed, the
Declaration of Cineworld. This was a post which the SNP didn’t like as I
compared the motley group to the fictional army concert party in the BBC, it ‘It
Ain't Half Hot Mum’
The SNP hated this post so much that the
leadership decided to remove me as a member under the pretext that it was
homophobic. One thing about me which is well known is that I tell the truth. If
I was homophobic, I wouldn’t have a problem putting it in writing and no
problem telling it straight to someone’s face. It was a great post mocking ‘the
gathering’, which I ended up finishing my post by writing:
“Let’s hope that the ‘It Ain't Half Hot
Mum’ concert party don’t get taken on the road otherwise some people won’t even
get a nickel for their mother!”
Seven year later, this post remain on my
blog, it is a post I am proud to have written. Of the three people in the
picture, Alex Salmond has gone on to be charged with multiple sexual offences;
Patrick Harvie is still talking shite, and actor Alan Cumming. Alan Cumming is a B actor.
Moving on from 2012, Alan Cumming is back
to Scotland to tell Scots about independence, remarkable in that he cleared out
of this country a long time ago. He said he hopes that Brexit will
expedite Scottish independence, it won’t, and neither will his intervention. In
his delivery of doom and gloom, he cites a leaked Whitehall dossier laying out
the potential impact of a no-deal Brexit could lead to a hastened break-up of
the union. This document hailed by the Nats as some sort of evidence is
opinion, not fact, which is easily explained to anyone who can read English.
But will Alan Cumming, Patrick Harvie and
Alex Salmond be putting the band back together? Hardly anytime soon, Salmond is
an outcast from the SNP, and 2020, he plays centre stage in his court case. No
doubt covered by RT, the Russian Channel.
Cumming said:
"In my crystal ball, which is tinged
with my political leanings, I would hope that Brexit and if the effects of
Brexit and that leaked memo the other day with the medical supply issue, food
shortages high prices and even civil unrest all being the potential outcome
will hopefully further and quicken Scottish independence because that for me
would be the only positive thing to come out of this debacle."
It won’t, and you don’t need a crystal ball
to know that I see a plane ride in Alan Cumming future back to his home in New
York. There wouldn’t be high prices; there won’t be food shortages; no medical
shortages because we aren’t living in the dark ages. We live in a modern integrated
world where money talks, and when it does politicians do well to listen. As a B
actor, no doubt Alan Cumming will be welcomed back into the new C list
production of Scottish Independence 2, ‘the tampax affair’ starring Nicola
Sturgeon. So, what role other than a plank could Alan Cumming play in this upcoming
production? The options could be:
Comic relief
Joke teller
Replacement for Sean Connery
Or he could do a handstand!
So, what advice could I possibly give a B
actor like Alan Cumming who wants to dabble in serious politics?
This is the perfect clip with advice.
Finally, although seven years have passed
since the Alan Cumming trod the boards at the Declaration of Cineworld, my
advice still stands, if the SNP chose to do Declaration of Cineworld 2, ‘if
people didn’t enjoy the concert party, then at least they were well positioned
to go see the Avengers Movie, grab a drink and a hotdog’. Given the SNP leader
Nicola Sturgeon talks so much hot air, perhaps Alan Cumming can have a role,
as her personal Punkah wallah.

He used to be entirely right. This post truly made

had spent for this information! Thanks!
That clip left me in stitches, George - wasn't expecting it!

The wonder of photoshop which I am trying to learn, you can do much with a keyboard and a sense of humour.

Great Georgie boy. Cumming used to greet has dad beat him....not enough says I
I wonder if Cummings had a hotdog in his mouth when he got kicked out of the Casino?
If I remember rightly, Alan Cummings bought a flat in Edinburgh so he could vote in the referendum, only to be told he was ineligible.
I just laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed
