Jim Murphy and Race Propaganda

race-gate goes on

I was pondering, as I often do, whether I've taken things too far. Is it possible that my last blog is OTT? Could it be that there is a conspiracy to undermine the SNP leadership? Are our political opponents (whose idiot legions terrorise the English by claiming we Nats stoke up Anglophobia) actually indulging in trying to associate the SNP in a disgraceful way with Muslim immigrants?

Why was the story about Sturgeon and Abdul Rauf given such prominance by newspaper editors who knew full well that the story merited a mention but is not the national scandal they tried to portray it as? Is there a co-ordinated campaign to demonise Salmond and co as terrorist sympathisers?

Is the race card being played? Who is soft on fraudulant immigrants? Who is soft on terrorists? Who was against the war?

Not New Labour apparently. The Herald and others frothed at the gob, jumped up and down and idiodically reported calls for resignations. There was an obvious smear campaign going on. Conducted from where?

The Ministry of Truth aka The Scotland Office. Couple of phone calls from Murphy followed by sit down strategy meeting. On the agenda? Winning the election. How? Branding the SNP subtly as terrorist sympathisers and Labour as tough on immigrants. Job done, see you same time next week boys. Don't get this wrong or I'll call the owners of the paper. Now we know what Murphy's job actually is.

Yes, no sooner had The Herald shocked us all by the SNP throwing their lot in with fraudsters, and Muslim ones at that, than The Herald published a lovely article about how Murphy is going to be tough on immigrants. Just what the Daily Record readership needed to hear after losing their jobs. The economy is to do with brown not Brown you understand:

Murphy: Immigrants must accept core British values














So, they've given up the Asian vote in Govan then? Nicola Sturgeon MSP for Govan and Scotland's biggest Asian population gets to keep them but Labour gets the white vote. Did this show up in Murphy's focus groups well? In Govan especially eh? But all across their impoverished core constituency too. Nice smile eh? Just the man to stop the Pakies from stealing the rest of our jobs.

There was also a story to go with the subtext:

..reflects the need for new immigrants to accept core British values - to obey the law, speak English and pay taxes.

Don't you see Jim? Fraud is a core British value thanks to your party. Gordon's bail-outs Jim? Gordon and Mervin's 'quantative Easing' Jim? Cash for questions? Cash for access? Lobbygate? Use of the Scotland Office for party political propaganda and appealing to racial prejudices at that Jim?

Obey the Law Jim? Like Labour MP Jim Devine? Tony Blair and his illegal war, Jim? Wendy Alexander? I could go for a very long time Jim.

Speaking English Jim? What about our immigrants in Iraq? Do they speak Arabic in Labour's illegal war that has killed over a million Iraqis, Jim?

No sooner had the SNP leadership been pilloried for 'supporting' Asian fraudsters than Murphy was oozing round radio stations with carefully worded messages about being 'firm but fair' with immigrants.

This is creepy stuff. I see what you're doing Jim. I have you and your corrupt, warmongering party in my nostrils Murphy.

aye spot on !! gone to far, na, its nothing in comparasin to what they did in the 70,s when the snp had 11 MP,s
the Scots are considered by the British elites in the same manner as they saw native peoples of Africa, America, Australia, etc etc
to be treated as low life, in fact we are lucky they have not decided to get rid of us all, they had a good go in the past, there is nothing to stop them trying again
we have no voice, the world is deaf dumb and blind to us.
you have a long way to go before you have gone to far and even then it wont be far enough
start thinking like your enemy !!!!

This is serious enough to consider a complaint to the Police. If an offense against the Race Relations Act has not been committed, then he must be dangerously close to the line.

It's fatuous stuff like this that undermines our credibilty and is pounced on by opportunistic opponents as typifying a nationalist mindset (it doesn't!).
I often wonder if it's written by unionists trying to do just that.
It really isn't about Scotland v England. The problem is Britain.

Anon,
I think he's confusing British emperialist with Englishman, not an uncommon mistake.

@Blind Captain,
Unfortunately, there would be no proof of wrong-doing. Everything is insinuated and behind closed doors. Public pronouncements are couched in reasonable language but the subtext is clear and dangerous. It shows the kind of politics we're up against. They know they've lost a lot of the Muslim vote because of the war so they can get the anti-Muslim vote onside..

Here,s anon again sorry but I do not understand the open id stuff etc so anon does.
Fatuous. to big a word for me as I had a Scottish education.and no Im anything but a unionist.

It really isn't about Scotland v England. The problem is Britain.

you may have to educate me I always thought Britain was England so I dont quite understand.
Alex. !!!!!!!!!!

I think we are up against Scottish emperialists who see themselves as British/ English to them there is no difference, they still see us as low life.
Apologies for being a bit thick

@Anon, I didn't mean to be patronising. I was just trying to clear up what you meant as it could be misinterpreted..

Yes, I think the British establishment has tended to view British history as English history; If it didn't happen in England, it didn't happen. Why else does the world not see the Scottish Enlightenment as as/or more significant as the Italian Renaissance? We have no marketing department and that really is our own fault.

I think we Scots tried to create a 'British identity', from Adam Smith to fellow Fifer but economic imbecile Gordon Brown, however the English never had such pretentions.

So, when people say England invented football they think that means them.

And I agree that many Scots try put a Scottish twang into the Norman class pyramid. That's human nature for those with no sense of history or culture. That's not on the syllabus though, is it?

I don't know if there's such a thing as a Scottish imperialist who wouldn't file their identity under British. Not sure they would file it under British - that's an English issue but the St. George's flag is very popular these days, I hear.
