A year ago I would not have believed that a counrty could have engaged in an open act of genocide, defying the whole world, and getting the support of the USA and some of its satilite dependent states like the UK. Yet we have seen this happen in front of our very eyes. Constant bombing of houses and schools and hospitals, killing and burying alive men women and children, shooting journalists in the street.

As an ex-soilder I can see that this is not an army engaged in warfare it is armed thugs on a rampage, I feel almost compelled to take up arms against these fascist thugs and fight them myself even at 85 I am so disgusted.

Yet I hear our politicians making excuses for them and it makes me sick.

The world community must stop this genocide and must bring to justice the perpetrators, whatever the cost may be.

My father was in the army post WW2, there were no other opportunities in North of England. He told me a few things about his time 'fighting' in Malayia, the lower ranks, so called, took no nonsense (they were after all in the middle of a thick jungle) from the higher ranking EngBrit toffs when it came to their cruelty and barbarism against the innocent locals. They had standards, well some of them, and made sure all ranks had to abide by them.

What the IOF are doing means they surely cannot be described as soldiers, those accepting their depravity have lost all sense of morality and decency.

“The British Empire has oceans of innocent blood on its hands. The pathetic remnants of that venal colonial empire is immersing itself in even more.”

This is the ideal opportunity for Scotland to leave the British Empire. There cannot be a higher moral reason for defying Westminster; for the Scottish Government, while still it can, to rip up The Scotland Act and declare that it is taking measures against Israel in violation of its limited remit. This is the time to create a constitutional crisis. It may fail, in the short term, but create such a response from the Scottish people that will bring about dependence based upon the highest moral principles versus the despicable policies of the UK Government.
