http://nomoradiaspora.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The thoughts of a former member of the Scottish Diaspora, now returned to Glasgow. Wednesday, 20 April 2011. Lowlights of an otherwise lovely weekend. I did wonder which of them would end the night over the hill in the Victoria's casualty department. Friday, 15 April 2011. Children's exercise - FFS! I've been annoyed with this children's PE debate since the last election. I just don't understand what the problem is in delivering 4 hours of PE a week for Primary school children. Sometimes we had an old gu...

Exposing obreption in all its forms. Monday, 4 July 2011. Authoritarianism without hierarchy: Presbyterianism extra! We are continuing our trend in challenges to authority with a further look at religion and society and mentioning some rather interesting one-liners which we have been gathering over the years. I would refer you to our previous posts on:. Interfaith in Palm Springs. Http:/ obreption.blogspot.com/2011/03/inter-faith-symposium-palm-springs-ca.html. Some have attributed the appeal of these be...

Tarff Advertiser: Is 'Humanism' a religion?
http://tarffadvertiser.blogspot.com/2015/08/is-humanism-religion.html
An alternate view of Scotland and the world through prose and poetry. Monday, 3 August 2015. Is 'Humanism' a religion? In the USA the Federal Government has, for some bureaucratic reason, decided that ' Humanism. Has to be defined as a ' religion. Yet how can ' humanism. If it is a religion it is not ' humanism. As a religion requires an object of faith to function and a credo which members must follow to ensure the spiritual energy (gods, demons, etcetera) is placated for their own and others good.

An alternate view of Scotland and the world through prose and poetry. Wednesday, 30 April 2014. The Dods of War . As the political logic of the No campaign's position melts like snow in summer, the ballista's of mud slinging break free as Better Together randomly lob shit around in all directions hoping, against hope some might stick or even hit the fan. Currently they are seeking to bombard the folk they perceive as the ' ring leaders. The likes of Derek Bateman. Governance caused by the Scots with thei...

An alternate view of Scotland and the world through prose and poetry. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Ebola Nurse gets the best treatment possible. The Record, Twitter and social media are reverberating with hysterical anger at some third rate English ' celebrity. Who has fewer brains cells than Spike Milligan's ' Famous Eccles. The original mono-synaptic man and as much cunning as ' Blune Bottle. Eccles partner in failure upon failure - ' AeeeeH! They deaded me again, Eccles, the rotten swines. The London Sc...

An alternate view of Scotland and the world through prose and poetry. Thursday, 28 May 2015. Who has got problems with the clap? Sadly it seems a significant chunk of the Scottish electorate are buying the latest ' SNP are childish by giving folk the clap. Line from the usual guardians of truth we know as the UK MSM. Why do the powers that be feel so ' Blattered. They have to spin puerile stuff such as ' Please, sir, they are sitting in my seat! Or a multitude of versions of the SNP ' Jockalpse Droogs.

Tarff Advertiser: June 2015
http://tarffadvertiser.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
An alternate view of Scotland and the world through prose and poetry. Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Beware of Greeks . According to people who claim not to be taking sides over next Sunday's rushed Greek referendum on exiting from the Eurozone, there will be only one outcome of a ' No. Vote, rejecting umpteen more years of austerity, a return to Greece's default state for much of the period from 1945 to 1981 - civil war. For us in Scotland there is a sense of deja vu. In ever louder voices. Maybe the reality is...

Malc in the Burgh: January 2010
http://malcintheburgh.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 January 2010. Actually, what if the Tories win? This is less of a "what if" than my previous post. On Labour winning, but there's some questions I'd like to put in the (likely) event of David Cameron becoming Prime Minister this year. You can imagine how that would go down in the Scottish Parliament. But there are a couple of MPs with links to Scotland. Liam Fox would be an example, or Malcolm Rifkind - who does have experience of the role. However, the latter lost his Scottish sea...Which lea...
