The ugly side of Scottish nationalism

[Gypsum_Fantastic]

With the SNP getting carried away with themselves - I see one supposedly responsible newspaper claimed a straw poll of 76% support for the SNP - there's a real danger they will be seriously disappointed in this election. I wonder if incidents like this will become more commonplace, then.

'Tartan' clue on suspect packages

Police are investigating two suspicious packages which are thought to have been posted in Greater Manchester.

Each contained a letter and a miniature spirit bottle containing liquid with a high concentration of caustic soda.

The packages were sent to a councillor in the Blackburn area of Lancashire and a journalist in Glasgow.

One of the letters was signed "SNLA". It is not known if it was from the Scottish National Liberation Army - a group pursuing Scottish independence.

The force said the package addressed to the councillor was intercepted at a sorting office, but the package addressed to the journalist was delivered.

Mr Thompson would not say what was written in the letters, or why the two individuals had been targeted.

"Because of the nature of the investigation we don't want to go into any details about precisely what was contained in the letters," he added.

Mr Thompson confirmed that the initials SNLA was written on one of the letters.

In 2002 a man claiming to be a member of the Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA) has said he sent two toxic packages to Downing Street and a Scottish MP.

The group is now thought to be made up of a small number of militant extremists and individuals claiming to be members have been jailed for letter-bomb offences.

Oh, what a surprise.

I predicted this six months ago.

It always happens when the British estabishment feels threatened. It brings out its false flag* sock puppet (which has never been able to build a bomb, let alone explode one) to scare the punters. Anyone with Higher chemistry can build a bomb. The SNLA can't. Hopefully the voters will see through it.

In all my days as a Scottish nationalist, I have never ever run into an open supporter of the SNLA - not even amongst nats of the foaming mouth variety. It has never had ten members as far as I can tell. The IRA at its lowest ebb had eighty, and had trouble with that. However, the supposed army of independence, has several times emptied SNP conferences with its threats. In spite of the fact that the SNP are the only organisation liable to get us our country back, and that the only people who know anyone in the SNLA are in the tabloid rags.

On the other hand, there is a very real militaristic organisation in Scotland, which regularly intimidates people, dresses up in army clothing, and displays the words "volunteers" and "martyrs" etc prominently. It's not the BNP, or even the SNP. It is aggressive, and does have a large following in a certain region of Scotland. And it proclaims apparent loyalty to the state, which doesn't disown it.

False flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oh yes, it's MI5. Got your tinfoil hat on yet?

Never mind that people are being held by the police over the incident. But yes, they'll be MI5 agents too - because nothing with the word 'Scottish' in its title can ever do anything wrong.

More likely Special Branch.

Whatever the hell it is, it "coincidentally" pops up in the papers every time the SNP starts doing well. I wonder why. Why would they work to scupper the SNP? Or attack its conferences?

"Never mind that people are being held by the police over the incident. But yes, they'll be MI5 agents too - because nothing with the word 'Scottish' in its title can ever do anything wrong."

Some of them may be agents. The far left and far right in this country are thoroughly infiltrated.

Funny how a small bunch of amateurs who can't even explode a bomb get so much attention, but a bunch of rabid "Queen fans" with "volunteers" and "martyrs" on their banners and drums get ignored.

By the way, if you really want the nastier end of Scottish nationalism, your better bet is probably some of the elements in Settler Watch, rather than the SNLA. I will admit there is a serious housing problem in much of Scotland, but this is a UK wide phenomenon, and people from the home counties are ratcheting up the prices in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, the Algarve, Tuscany and Spain etc as well.

p.s. I can think of plenty of "Scottish" things which are/do wrong. "Scottish Television" (ITV) does wrong all the time, with its bog standard programmes.
