3From Noon Sunday

Phil Boswell, Eva Comrie and Allan Petrie join Roddy for a lively discussion on the weeks events, all viewed, Through a Scottish Prism

The past week was a terrible one for the British Labour Party and in particular for Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Branch Manager. The man that has recently being believing his own publicity and that of the corrupt corporate media.He is already thinking about new curtains for Bute House. If this week is anything to go by, I would suggest he doesn’t pre order anything quite yet.

He started the week by being very Red Tory and attacking a favourite target of the right wingers, the public sector. “It is too bloated” opined the mediocrity that is Sarwar. That is NeoLiberal speak for we will make redundancies and sell off anything that is not nailed down!

His week went from bad to worse as he apparently pressed the wrong voting button at Holyrood not once but twice. As he voted with the real Tories one can only speculate if it was indeed a slip or a sign of things to come!

Meanwhile, down at Westminster all ‘his’ Scottish Labour MPs failed to turn up for the Scottish Future Energy Debate. They were probably doing what Scottish MPs tend to do down there slurping at the trough and filling in their expense claims. There is a debate soon on raising MPs salaries, you can be assured the Labour troughers will turn up for that

It was also leaked from the belly of the beast that Starmer and Reeves are toying with the idea of means testing state pensions.This pair of cretins are forgetting that Pensions are not a benefit it is a contract between the citizen and the state. The citizens LEND, the government part of their earned income throughout their working life and in return, the state provide a pension at the end of their working days. It’s a bargain, not a benefit!

The UK already has the lowest pension in the developed world and these neocon/neoliberals want to steal more of the nations wealth. No doubt some for themselves and their donors and some to promote illegal wars and genocides throughout the world. London always finds enough money for wars but never enough for social policies or saving jobs.

They aren’t the only ones that are after your pittance of a pension. Mark Rutte the ex-Dutch PM and another WEF neocon/neoliberal wants all NATO countries to double spending on defence or should that be offence? As Secy General of the largest terrorist organisation in the word, NATO, he wants to see spending raised from member countries from 2% of GDP to 4% of GDP. He suggests that western nations are too generous with pensions and could find the money for proxy wars, imperialism or regime changes by reducing pensions!

At the same time Starmer who keeps telling us we are skint sent £11 million of our tax revenues to the new ISIS/Al-Quaeda government in Syria. It seems these beheaders and jihadists have overnight become good guys much in the same way as the Zionist Israeli genociders and Ukrainian Nazis are ‘good guys!’

Starmer, Tel Aviv’s man in London was  busy with his wartime leader pantomime going all the way to Cyprus to personally thank the RAF and service personnel in the Akitiri Base who have been carrying out secret work in the region that Starmers says cannot be shared with the world! I suppose admitting you are committing war crimes and crimes against humanity is something best kept quiet.

That our corrupt corporate media didn’t grill him intensely about this secret work shows you it is not just our politicians that are law breaking corrupt tools of the US MIC. More on that later. However a note to our service personnel. The judges at Nuremberg rejected the “following orders” defense. They said that when an individual follows an order that is illegal under international law, he or she is responsible for that choice. 

Hope you are all following the ICJ and ICC cases in the Hague. It might become your new home soon!

We were given a great example this week of how our western warmongering political class achieve this make believe. CNN’s very own Clarissa Ward staged a video of a man allegedly being freed from a ‘secret’ Syrian prison.We were told to believe he had been left alone in a cell for days with no water, light or food and was totally unaware that the US/Israeli backed ISIS were now the new government of Syria.

As he emerged into the daylight with the help of the intrepid CNN heroes it was noted his hair and beard were immaculately coiffured and his finger nails were manicured perfectly. (BarL and Saughton inmates take note and get in touch with your local Labour MP and demand similar spa treatment in your local nick.)

The biggest takeaway from this week is that the ‘establishment’ media and politicians will tell you any lie or hide any truth from you to ensure their WEF Globalist nirvana continues unabated! Remember that the next time they tell you Scotland is too wee, too poor and too stupid to be independent or they can’t afford to pay a living wage or save a refinery. They always find money for imperialism and war!
