Schillings Give Salmond an Open Goal

Never one to miss a trick in public, as well as working things below the radar, Alex Salmond certainly looked and sounded smug this morning. He has been quick out of the blocks to defend the Sunday Herald’s actions. On the Today program he said any “inglish” attempt to go after the paper would be “extremely foolish”. “It looks to me like English law and English injunctions are increasingly impractical in the modern world” He went on to mock the idea that English law “should pertain across the planet”.

Ryan Giggs should demand a refund after someone at Schillings, supposedly market leaders, forgot to file the papers in a Scottish court as well. The blunder has certainly done wonders for the SNP cause. The Sunday Herald, known for their close links to the party, have given the First Minister a gift this morning. The road to freedom is going to be one of small steps, and the English courts making Scotland seem like the badlands could certainly be considered one.  Guido can’t help but wonder, was there any communication between the paper and the First Minister’s people before that front page went to print?

      Thanks for that guvnor much appreciated. We’ll have plenty of oil revenue so if you ever need a wee lend of some money be sure to go somewhere else. Try France.

        I think you need to check the probable division of oil assets before you start crowing about how much revenue Scotland will receive…..probably not enough to cover all the benefit giros.

        The oil belongs to the UK, which you are at liberty to leave of course.

          Bled White Taxpayer says:

          The oil runs out in about 10 years anyway (annual rate of decline is 11% of production, year on year). Given that Scottish independence won’t be happening until about 2017 at the earliest (referendum in 2014, 3 years to sort out the practicalities is likely following a “Yes” vote), Wee Eck needs to make sure that the tourism, shortbread and whisky industries can collectively cover the shortfall. Otherwise Scotland will be as economically powerful as Belgium, except even more irrelevant as it is on the edge of Europe and so cannot generate great revenues from ports like Antwerp or being the shunting yard of the EU gravytrain.

            Just fact-checked myself, and I have done Belgium a disservice. Scotland’s GDP is currently closest in the world to the Czech Republic ($194 billion – all world rankings are expressed in US $). Belgium is four times the size.

            And Scotland’s share of the national debt should be calculated using a reverse of the Barnett formula. About £180 Billion I reckon based on a per capita share of the current £2.238 Trillion, even without the surcharge we should impose for Fred the Shred and Gordon Brown.

            Listening to Alex Salmond talk about Scottish independence is just like listening to Michael O’Leary talking about Ryanair.

            The main difference between the two is that while O’Leary talks Ryanair up, Salmond talks everyone else down. A classic case of superiority complex manifesting itself from insecurity.

          They were Picts a gaelic tribe who were eventually wiped out by the invading Irish (including the Irish Scottee tribe).

          What did Scotland or Ireland have that the Romans could possibly want? Peat, heather, damp sheep, frostbite??

          In 400 years the Romans turned the British from painted savages into one of the most educated and civilised nations in the known world. Civilisation was just kept alive in Britain and Ireland during the Dark Ages.

          The British are still working on the jocks but I suppose we’d need another 400 years.

          • Engineer says:

            The iron-age Celts of Brittania were among the most civilised and advanced peoples outside the Roman Empire, their riches built on trading their mineral and agricultural wealth. The Romans wanted Britannia to control the breadbasket of Europe, and for the skills and mineral resources of the land. The iron-age Celts were only painted savages in Roman literature (early spin, in other words), and not in fact, as archaeology has established.

          Rev I M Jolly says:

          On the contrary, look up Antonine Wall, which was built BEFORE Hadrian’s effort and then abandonned as the natives beat the Romans back. Prior to that they got as far north as Inverness. There are Roman ruins in quite a few places in Scotland even in latter-day dumps like Motherwell, near Glasgow.

          I’m no supporter of independence BTW but you have to laugh at the incompetence (and arrogance) of Shillings here. Warms the cockles (if a Scotsman is allowed to say that?).

        If the Romans were able to steal all of England’s gold, tin and copper and take it back to Rome in their little wooden ships, there can’t have been all that much to be had, presumably.

          enough to assemble huge army in france, build ships to cross channel, then erect not one but two walls 200 miles long at the north borders of england to secure thier looting

          you dont seem to understand – britain was not uncultured before the romans we had baths and culture ( 127 torcs – each taking 80 days to construct found burried near boudicas village – each broken in half to stop romans using torcs as they symbol of power)

          The copper mine in angelsee largest in europe…

          Regarding the gold – there was that much the romains did not dig for it – they built two aquaducts (15 miles in length) to bring water to a resorvoir – then they delluged the value striiping the top layer of soil and revealing the gold – which they they picked up

          before romans, britian had huge wealth as europe traded oil, wine, food etc etc etc for coper, tin, gold and silver

          try making iron without coper and tin. Eurpoe in the stone age without UK

          Our empire built on the largest coal seams in europe.

          The romains won because thier might and army could destroy our defense – which at time were hill forts in england – castle/broches in scotland survived and could not be attacked as romans could not find them – hence two walls

            The reason the Romans mostly left them alone was because they had not, at that point, mastered the manufacturing techniques required to produce the vast quantities of string vests and flick knifes demanded by the savages in negotiations over local women. The savages eventually took to wearing skirts in an attempt to fool the Romans, at which point the Romans walled the hell-hole up and left them to it.

    FYI, the Herald and the Sunday Herald are seen to be quite sympathetic to Labour (e.g. the whole Purcell incident in Glasgow last year when the Herald failed to report huge swathes of what was going on…). They are certainly not SNP papers. If you want to know what motivated the Sunday Herald decision to name and shame, a look at the most recent readership figures might make things clear.

      Exactly and it should not be forgotten that Purcell and his legal cronies obtained a gagging order preventing the Press from properly investigating the circumstances surrounding his fall from grace.
      The Press to my knowledge haven’t challenged this order as it suited them to brush this under the carpet .
      Perhaps a number of influencial press and media folk were part of Purcells little Friday club.

      There are good grounds for such a challenge as what occurred is most definitely in the public interest.

        According to the ONS, unemployment in Scotland is now 7.7 per cent – lower than England.

        Scottish unemployment is now lower than six of the nine English regions.

        It is 9.1 per cent in London and a staggering 10.4 per cent in the English North East.

        Only five of the 27 EU member states have a higher employment rate than Scotland.

    A Premier League footballer was granted a privacy injunction after telling a judge he feared being “booed and subjected to cruel chants” during games if details of an extra-marital affair were published.

    In a witness statement made to the court, the player said that if the Sun ran the story: “It would have a devastating effect on his marriage, on his wife and particularly their children. He states that it has become common for footballers whose private lives are exposed by the media to be booed during games and be the subject of cruel chants.”

    Rod is an expert in using the law on defamation, privacy and breach of confidence to protect clients facing attacks in newspapers, broadcasts, online or by their competitors.

    Memo to Guido:

    What about a site just for celebrities? It would not have any words longer than one syllable. It would be a pay site, obviously, as nothing that is free can be any good, can it? It could give them advice on what do when they get the urge. (If it is Kim Kardashian or Olivia Wilde, I will come over right away and do whatever I can to help myself – if it is Ryan Giggs or Eddie Izzard, well … I’m sure you’ll be able to sort something out.) Advise them about which causes to support, which lawyers to avoid – save them a whole bunch of cash, from which we could take a reasonable cut. What do you think?

    Your newspapers are full of “z” list stories of soap stars and useless gossip.

        England has one of the highest ratios of violence and assaults in the western hemisphere. Knife attacks are the norm in this country.
        The only reason my company is based here is because we bought over a failing English business, when we introduced new working practices the English staff left. They are now scrounging benefits from the system.

      It beggars belief, but as one volcano, in one week last year, put more CO2 into the atmosphere than the entire EU output for five years, you wonder just how long the collective CO2 emmissions lunacy can go on for.

    Jess The Dog says:

    What’s this got to do with Scotland and England. Any fool knows the legal systems are separate. The Herald have a top-notch criminal law QC advising them. Even so, their arch-rival, the Scotsman, is claiming they could face gaol. How, I would ask why. For independence, it’s a matter of time and Salmond knows this. Wind and wave energy from the Crown Estate shore and offshore sea bed is the new North Sea Oil. The cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow perform woefully in global terms, and need to raise their game economically (especially productivity) to sustain an independent Scotland (which would still be under the British Crown, dating back to James VI and I). Looking at the Barnett formula is a waste of time, as there would be massive subsidy of northern England from London and the South East, even if Scotland was separate, as it is the natural flow of revenue from a global city to the less productive regions. Given devolution and the European Union, Scottish independence is inevitable, and will change surprisingly little (no separate currency, border controls or other rubbish people spout).

    PMk says:

    Guido obviously doesn’t know Scotland very well! If the links between the Sunday Herald and SNP are so “strong” why: did they recommend no party in the last Scottish election, but suggested how people should vote in the pointless Alternative Vote referendum?

    Just like all those idiots above who believe that Scotland is subsidised by England, when the reverse is clearly the case, as has been proven by every independent report by financial experts commissioned outside of London (in the U.S., Japan, Germany etc …).

    As for this nonsense about the oil somehow “being British” international law is very clear as to to what distance out territorial waters and any valuable mineral deposits belong to the country with the closest shoreline … Scotland will receive somewhere between 90 and 95% of all oil in the current “British sector” of the North Sea, and somewhere between 50 to 60% of the natural gas (it stretches far further down the coast toward Hull), again all this has already been established. Furthermore the Atlantic fields when they are finally opened up, as they inevitably will be, will be split between Scotland, the Irish Republic, and a tiny fraction by Northern Ireland (interesting to see what its constitutional status will be by then, my money is on EU protectorate like Kosovo until recently).

    I would remind Little Englander posters of these facts, and that their staggering ignorance will not save them when the IMF inevitably comes calling to bail rump UK out when Scotland leaves the Union. You think the current cuts are bad? Just wait until the Govt. of rUK gets its marching orders from the international markets: it will make Greece, Ireland and Portugal look like a cake walk. If I were you and you have family north of the border, I’d keep your options open on joint citizenship … because we’ll still have an NHS up here in 10 or 20 years, unlike yourselves.

    What ingratitude. Ties to England have helped humanise Scotland’s vicious Roman legal system with a big dollop of common law. Yet still they insist on returning the almost-guilty verdict of “not proven” in criminal cases. Truly, civilisation has to be imposed on the Scots with the ruthlessness of an Edward Longshanks (of course, he had some help from that turncoat Wallace.). Roll on independence I say, when they’ll have to fork out £30 billion a year for their own drying-out clinics. But with their “careful” nature, they’ll have to be pushed out of the union – there’s no way they’ll jump. Then Brussels can bail them out – England will be free of the EU by then, too. Screw them all.
