A very interesting article which shows the British Empire in all it's shame.

Celtic's Green Brigade's Peaceful Protest. Saturday 16th March.

This is a video that shows Strathclyde police up for what they are rapidly becoming. That is, a political tool to be used to stifle freedom on the streets. It is a fundamental right to be able to peacefully protest as long as there is no violence, or intimidation used by the protesters.
The people protesting were members of the Glasgow Celtic supporters group, The Green Brigade. The vast majority of the around 1,000 people were under the age of 25. They were protesting about the anti sectarian law that was passed a few years ago, and the way the law was being interpreted by the authorities to put an end to street protests. the actions of the police last Saturday, 16th March, were heavy handed to say the least and according to witnesses, downright barbaric. My own view is that this is part of the governments plan to further erode our personal freedoms. The Green Brigade are themselves being used by the police to falsely highlight a fictitious public order problem. Don't get me wrong, Glasgow does have a sectarian problem of long standing, but to my knowledge The Green Brigade have only been sighted once for any sectarian incident, and that has been proven to have been a fabrication in the extreme. To sum up. The police are maliciously targeting The Green Brigade with a view to provoking a violent reaction and to their credit, The Green Brigade members have not taken the bait. long may it continue. I am sure their will be more to say on this issue.
Till next time.

UK Press Regulation.

Britain's three horsemen of the apocalypse, David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, yesterday, agreed to take the first step towards complete control of the press by agreeing to appoint a press regulator by Royal Charter. The regulator is to be independent of government which is a load of crap because he or she will be appointed by the aforesaid government and therefore cannot be called independent. The government of the day, be it Tory, Lib Dem or Labour will then be able to censor all press stories that they deem to be sensitive or anti-government. The whole Leveson enquiry was a complete farce from the start and was designed to lead us to this very scenario. A group was formed by so called activists called "The Hacked Off Campaign" that turned out to be connected to the Media Standards Trust and also to the pseudo political charity, Common Purpose. In reality they were a pressure group formed to push and lobby government ministers into arriving at this very decision.
The upshot is that we have taken a step into the murky waters of government censorship which starts with the press and then proceeds to media and internet, including bloggers and really anyone who posts anything online. Freedom has once again been compromised in the guise of "protecting" the public from "rogue journalists."
Till next time.
