The Irish Times on the Fake Celtic Cult of Ireland & Britain - & Historic 'Bling'

Image
The man who launched the UK's poisonous Celtic myth in 1707 - Edward Lhuyd. Yesterday, we were asked by an American plastic Celt why we negated the 'Celtic culture' of the UK? It was the same as negating the handed-down history of any tribe, she said. Actually not. The passing of time will blur things - and what has been handed down for generations will usually be slightly inaccurate at least - but still have a ring of truth.  However, the UK 'Celts' were not a tribe. They didn't exist until 1707 and since then this horrible fake 'thing' has become an industry and a way of practising racism. Which is how England, the largest and most multi-ethnic country of the UK, suffers the Barnett Formula (reviled by its own creator, the late Lord Joel Barnett), the West Lothian Question and asymmetric national devolution. By the way, the American plastic Celt began her conversation quite reasonably, she was, apparently, terribly excited about an American university

"Scots" Cannot Be A National Language of Scotland

Image
According to the Scottish Government, 'Scots' - a dialect spoken in parts of Lowland Scotland - is now a language. And all the nationalistic Little Scotlanders have 'corrected' Wikipedia. They can't bear England and Wales to have something they don't. It's like spoilt children. When you took a look at Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, above. you can see the angry, bumptious, intimidating attitude which prevails all too clearly. Small attitude. Small country. Not a good advertisement for Scotland - and not one endorsed by many Scots. Of course, Scots Nats and some plastic Scots born abroad - desperate for lovely, rosy coloured myths of their 'homeland' ( Braveheart - ahem!) - love it. The 'Woke' also flock to it. Dear little oppressed Scotland! Higher funding, far better democratic representation, a vote on whether to stay in the UK, then the right to continue swaggering and belly-aching when the vote is 'Yes'... But oppressed.

Alex Thomson, The UK Column And The Celtic Myth...

Image
                      British? No, no - they're Scots and Welsh only. And they're 'Celts' (so sayeth Alex Thomson of UK Column) - and such victims of the horrendous English. All fine tales built on ancient white race myths and Mel Gibson's 'CRY FREEDOM!' These fine Scottish and Welsh people had nothing to do with the British Empire! (I jest) Isn't it strange how the Celtic myth is so plainly a myth, and yet it infiltrates so much of UK life? Take the UK Column - an often interesting and rather alternative (no problem there) news site. Sadly, there is heavy 'Celtic' nonsense in the organisation, brought to bear by staff like Alex Thomson.  The whole venture is rather strangely organised anyway, with a complete non-questioning of the dreadful discrimination against every living soul in the largest and most multi-ethnic 'UK' country of all - via asymmetric national devolution, the Barnett Formula, the resurgent West Lothian Question, etc - a

Lorraine Kelly - The Exclusive 'We' in Scotland Wot Does Talk In A Particular Way...

Image
  Lorraine Kelly is sadly past her sell-by date. We used to really like her - sympathising heartily when she wept on the last instalment of TV-am, etc. But her style is cloying, sickly sweet and out of place now and, on St George's Day 2021, she actually echoed Nicola Sturgeon. Accused, unjustly, of neglecting to mention St George's Day on her little TV show, she responded: 'Keep the heid,' as we say in Scotland.' Well, as Rudyard Kipling said, 'If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs...' But 'keep the heid'? It comes from 'keep your head on,' a highly popular phrase years ago across England, and still in use to a lesser degree today, which is used as a retort when somebody is perceived as being unreasonably irate. But Lorraine couldn't simply say that. Nicola Sturgeon likes dialect too - also trotting out the 'Keep the heid' motif, but who  else says that in Scotland? My friends Mos and Rashida certainly d

Nicola Sturgeon - The Anti-English Denier...

Image
What an improvement, Nicola! Mask HAS to be tartan, of course (yawn). Every so often Nicola Sturgeon says: 'I haven't got an anti-English bone in my body.' Oh, really? Then what motivates you? Jealousy? She encourages an amazingly exclusive Scotland. Yes, she does. She accuses those who wish to leave the European Union of racism. Um, but the vast majority of non-white immigrants to England do not come from the European Union, Nicola. She wants Scotland to be a part of the European Union, but not part of the UK. Why? England is a far more ethnically diverse country than Scotland, even proportionally, so what's the problem with the UK? Scotland either needs to be an EQUAL part of the UK, or leave. It voted to stay. Then we got Nicola Sturgeon. Nicola hates Margaret Thatcher. Not past tense. Maggie still lives to her. Well, yes, I hated Maggie too, to be honest, 31 years ago. But she was the first FEMALE Prime Minister (surely, that was in some ways good, N

The Highly-Inclusive Ancient Brits And Anglo Saxons Of England... And the Highly Exclusive 'Scots'...

Image
'One Scotland' - but you have to be a Scot - not British, or English, or Bulgarian or... I remember at school in the 1970s being told by my history teacher that the Anglo Saxons invaded what is now England, chased out the Ancient Brits, and took it for themselves. All the Ancient Brits (a retrospective naming - they didn't call themselves that - they were not a unified nation) ran off to Scotland and Wales. 'But how were they driven out?' I frowned. 'There was no technology to practise warfare on that scale - or genocide. The Anglo Saxons' boats would have been pretty small. They were not arriving here in their thousands, wave upon wave, all at the same time.' My history teacher sighed. 'Well, that's what the historians say...' he said. And that was it. Of course, I wasn't satisfied. Were historians all asses? I wondered. As it happened, some historians shared my logic, even back then... Flip forward to the 21st Century, and

What Happens If You Challenge The Celtic Myth? And Why Does The UK Government Underfund England?

Image
The answer to the first question is simple. You get screamed at or lock-capped to death: ' DAILY MAIL READER!' 'ANTI-SCOTS!', 'YOU HATE SCOTLAND!', 'YOU'RE A RACIST!', etc, etc, etc. Be prepared. It's pathetic. After all, you're not the one claiming you're a descendent of a WHITE ethnicity when you are not, and claiming fake victimhood, and saying you deserve more of the essentials and the luxuries because you are a descendent of said white ethnicity. And everybody else can get stuffed. No, no, they're basically saying that. Projection comes so easy to many Scots Nats and most Celtic myth followers. I do find it amusing. So much anger... so much hate. And all because somebody believes they are owed far more than you simply because of a myth and historical revisionism. And downright bigotry. As the UK quaked and trembled (well, at least the majority of it) with fear at Covid-19, Nicola Sturgeon again demonstrated
