Bringing shame on Scotland ...

David Mundell MP is a good guy, an assiduous constituency MP and a brave man. He was jeered and threatened yesterday by an SNP mob when opening a food bank in his constituency. And nobody will convince me this was not organised.

As US comedian Jon Stewart asked Nicola Sturgeon a few weeks ago when she said the SNP were having an investigation into the three seats they didn't win (including David's),

"You think you're Saddam Hussein, you get 99%?"

It was funny on his show: this SNP mob are not funny, they are scary, because they are acting as if they actually believe they have a divine right to all the seats and anyone who opposes them is a traitor to Scotland.

They shouted at him "Traitor" and "Shame on you."

Well any decent human being watching the video of what happened would have been thinking "Shame on YOU!"

The members of that mob were a disgrace to Scotland.

As a person with some Scots ancestry myself, I cannot believe that most Scots really want to live in a country where being a politician from an opposition party means that you get treated like this.

This style of politics brings shame on Scotland and the SNP leadership will be bringing shame on themselves and on Scotland if they do not take steps to disavow it.

You can watch the video of what happened on the Daily Mail site at

And the SNP cannot claim that the contemptible behaviour of this mob was the action of individuals with no connection to their party: two of their branches have boasted on social media about being involved.

According to the Mail, the Dumfries East SNP branch also posted a link to a YouTube video of Mr Mundell at the event. The party tweeted:

'The Shaming of Mundell as he left via back door of food bank in Dumfries he'd just opened to shouts of "Shame on you".'


The West Dumfries branch of the SNP boasted on Facebook:
 
 'A great turnout to welcome Scotland's Viceroy, "Fluffy Munnel" in Dumfries today. Shame he scuttled off out the backdoor.'
 
They added that
 
'at least 100 folk' stood outside the foodbank with placards and chanted 'Tories Out!'. Mundell tried to sneak out the back door so we all piled round the back in hot pursuit chanting 'Shame on you'. Was brilliant! Lol!

I wonder how they would react if the Conservative or Labour parties arranged for a mob of 100 Conservative or Labour supporters to surround Nicola Sturgeon at a constituency function and behave towards her the way they behaved towards David Mundell. Somehow I don't think the SNP would be calling that "brilliant" or laughing out loud about it.

Its not just the SNP that are using this tactic, I have found its also used by many kippers. aparrently we cant stay in the single market for as long as "freedom of movement" is a must.

oddly they never say freedom of movement of what, as there are 4 basic freedoms of movement in the single market, being freedom of movement of 1. Goods, 2. Services, 3, People and 4, capital. (remember that last one when you go on about tax avoidance, its only using the rules of the single market to your advantage)

anyway I digress, so if freedom of movement is there then I am a traitor and many other things, though i have to say my favourite is "UKIP hating EU Paid scum" - that was a good one.

It's wrong whoever does it. Must say that if you are "UKIP hating EU paid scum" I shudder to think what they would call me, let alone an outright Europhile like Ken Clarke.

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the...

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
