Sir,
Your report 'Thousands of civil servants 'to be moved out of London'
(Nov 26) should set alarm bells ringing in English ears, because in the
past moving public servants out of London and the South East has all too
often meant moving public service jobs out of England.
One of the many disadvantages our elite has placed England under in the
past 50 years has been the export of English public sector jobs to
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, for example, the Vehicle Licensing
Centre to Wales (the vast majority of drivers live in England), Income
Tax English administration to N Ireland and English Benefits
administration to Scotland.
The traffic is all one way for no public sector jobs dealing with
matters in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have ever been imported
to England.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Henderson

16.8% of civil servants live in London. 12.2% of the UK population
lives in London.
As ever when it comes to state handouts and state created employment,
London's hand is first in line.

I'm piggybacking this as Henderson is in my killfile but his usual stupid
post needs a little clarifying.
If UK civil servants were moved to Scotland to work upon UK government
services then, in the event of the UK splitting up, they would be free to
stay in Scotland or return to England. The services they were providing
would need to continue in the independent Scotland but would then be
Scottish government fobs. Unlike Henderson the Scottish government are not
racist and the SNP make it clear they represent, "The people of Scotland",
no matter what their colour, creed, ethnic background or country of birth.
There are English born members of the SNP and other non-Scottish members
too.
As usual Henderson's mentality assumes something that is not true. Civil
Service jobs are NOT English jobs, they are United Kingdom jobs. There are
no such things as English Civil Service Jobs at Westminster level as England
does not have a parliament then England cannot have an English Civil
Service. (local government excepted)..
This silly English mentality shows up all over the place.
Yesterday I had a laugh at a letter on the BBC, Ceefax, Text pages - it
went like this -
**********************
"The SNP are really keen on the idea of complete independence from the UK.
How could we, in England, make a generous contribution to the SNP cause?
I would suggest giving back to the Scots - free and gratis - RBS, Hbos,
Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling et al, and wish them every success for the
future.",
**********************
it is signed, "MG, Norfolk".
So, notwithstanding the BBC's obvious bias in printing this rubbish and the
probable refusal to publish a Scottish reply, there are so many obvious
errors in fact that it is laughable.
So let's look at some of them.
Here is an English person, who belongs to a country without a parliament,
suggesting that England give things, that do not belong to England, to the
the Scots. There is also the little fact the writer has first made reference
to, "The SNP", but is now referring to, "The Scots". Then the writer
suggests that the international companies, RBS and Hbos are only Scottish
but also does not mention, "Northern Rock". HBOS includes the Halifax and,
last time I looked Halifax was still in England.
Next the writer suggests that the Westminster Parliament's, "Gordon Brown,
Alistair Darling et al", also be returned to Scotland, but again the writer
is attempting to give to Scotland some things that do not belong to England.
We then have that other little problem that if the ENGLISH were to cherry
pick what they wish the UNITED KINGDOM is to return to the SCOTS it would
only be fair that they also returned
the many other assets that the ENGLISH benefitted by being part of THE
UNITED KINGDOM that came from SCOTLAND. Like the very large profits taken by
the UK GOVERNMENT paid by both RBS and HBOS in the good years like the ,up
to, 98% share of North Sea revenues that came out of Scottish territorial
waters since the oil was first discovered.
This writer is obviously of the same stupid school of thought as Henderson.
They both equate England & the UK as being the same thing.

Idiot! I was an MOD employee for over 50 Years and had to travel to many
parts of the UK and often had to stay in London.
I'll give you a few home truths. There is much wider choice in London in
everything bar one. Thus a shop around will get anything, (bar one), cheaper
than anywhere else.
London Transport is subsidised by the entire UK and that on top of England's
share of the UK transport budget.
Both Gas and electric power are cheaper than in Scotland. BTW: wages in
London are higher than the rest of the UK.
The only exception to the cheaper rule is housing and even there London has
a larger proportion of local authority housing than most places.
Then there is the simple fact that London has a warmer climate than Scotland
so the heating costs are less while the next most expensive property prices
are in Edinburgh.

Auld Bob, you must try and understand that nobody in England cares about
the Scots!
We hear the Weathermen drone on about conditions in Scotland, and we

If the temperature dropped to minus 70 degrees, and every Scotsman froze to
death in his bed, no-one in England would bat an eyelid.
To us, you are savages, semi-human beasts who prowl an inhospitable

You could all be wiped out tomorrow, and it would take at least six months
before anyone south of Carlisle even noticed

We know YOU do as you have just told us so. However, no reasonably person
thinks you speak for the English, so it isn't of importance.
Then there is the simple fact that anyone who, "immediately switch off", is
thus ignorant of that subject.
So, as such an ignorant person, please just swich off whenever you wish and
remain as ignorant as you are at present.

You don't speak for England, remember?

So just what evidence can you offer as to England's fiscal position in
relation to either Europe, The UK of GB & NI, Europe or the international
Monitary Fund?

You would not notice. You switched off, remember?
Howeverm as you seem to be dead from the neck up, you would not notice if
your feet went on fire.
I give rather more credit to your fellow Englanders than it seems you do.
Now, if I were an Englander, Heaven forefend, I would be very resentful that
an ignorant fool was presuming to speak on my behalf on a public forum.
What is more I would be very worried that the education system in my country
could throw up results that are as pig ignorant as you are.
However, I'm also aware that the normal English person is well educated,
erudite, friendly clever and, above all tolerant, human being.
I can only conclude that is the reason they tolerate such pig ignorant fools
as you.

Mornin', Auld Bob - spry as ever, I see ;)
There's a wonderful (and almost certainly unintentional) irony in your last
sentence - your announcement that your are "100% behind English
independence"!
You probably don't see it, but there is genuine hilarity in a native of a
client nation grandly announcing to England that they permit their
conquerors to do this, or that!
It's rather like a plantation slave solemnly informing Massa that he has
the slave's permission to go into town!!!
We'll do what we want, Auld Bob, and Scotland can like it, or lump it, as it
chooses.
Now, back to the cotton wi' ye!
Conversely, Scots take a great deal of interest in English weather
conditions since they provide a constant source of amusement and
hilarity. Hilarity at the inability of Londoners to cope with more
than 20 snow flakes in a one hour period. Amusement at the English
hype over wintry conditions in .... winter. I had a good laugh at the
English reporter sent to Hereford, on the outer edge of Englandshire,
to report on the anticipated snowy Armageddon that had been forecast.
As it was she was standing there on a grey morning, in a grey town
with not even a flake of snow to be seen. Now that is funny. At the
same time I was enjoying -12C and a foot of snow and life went on as
normal .... albeit the beauty of the Scottish countryside was even
greater than normal. And there wasn't an EBC reporter to be seen
anywhere. Bliss!
The unfortunate side effects of such overindulgence, by the lesser orders of
the English hoi polloi, frequently results in excessive flatulence, verbal
diarrhoea and reduced mental capacity.
However, it seems this particular wretched person had also mistakenly
assumed his national dish was that one featured in an English football
song.
The poor wretch ordered his choice, by number, from his local Indian
take-away and consumed it while washing it down with copious amounts of his
chosen beverage.
The combined effects of the Vindaloo and the cheap supermarket lager had
devastating effects upon both his mental capacity and his normal rate of
travel.
Neighbours speculate there should be no lasting effects upon the immediate
neighbourhood environment.
The council services, particularly over festive seasons, may take several
months to eradicate the more serious environmental damage done.
They express the hope there will be no secondary infestations by an
increase of local vermin.
However, local vermin levels already seriously affect the area..
The long range prognosis for the poor wretches condition are not quite so
bright and, although his physical condition can be helped, the longer
lasting mental problems are not thought to be repairable.

Your lack of common knowledge becomes more apparent with every post you
make.
I hate to be the one to break the news to you, however belated, but in 1606
the Scottish Monarch took over England.
Mind you it did not stop there. In 1707 the Scots and English signed a
treaty of union as two equal countries.
They both went home and each country drew up Acts of Union. From then on the
Scots have been taking over.
Did you not notice the present Prime Minister is a Scot?
Had it passed you by that the Exchequer has been run by Scots for many years
now?
Then I also need to inform you that we allowed Wales to have her own
parliament.
We also let N.Ireland have her own parliament and, of course we have
Holyrood in Scotland.
So, if you are good boys and girls, we will let England have her own
parliament as soon as we decide you are grown up enough to run your own
country.
Did you not know that there is no English parliament and that Scots are
running United Kindom parliament?
It won't make a bit of difference, though, if you try to wriggle out by
electing the Tory lot as the next UK government, had you not noticed the
name of their leader?
"Cameron", you cannot get a more Scottish name than that. We even had an old
Scottish Regement called the Cameron Highlanders.
You have been had - the Scots are in control.
You really should get off your backsides and get a parliament of your own.
No amount of imagination will get it for you you have to go out and get it.
As\I said, "Home Rule For England", is high on many Scottish people's
agenda.

Only an idiot like you could fail to know that the Scottish languages, there
are two, have larger vocabularies than the English language.
In fact there have been several Scottish words borrowed by English in recent
years.
The thing is that, as you seem unable to understand either Scots language,
it is rather unwise to attempt to poke childish fun at it. Especially as
you seem to lack any real competant use of your own. Having travelled all
over England I know that the many local dialects differ greatly one to the
other. It ill behoves anyone from such a background to attempt childish
jibes at any other country and its language.

So there we have the extent of your knowledge and, as usual, you expose
yourself as a total idiot.
Gregor Fisher speaks either Lowland Scots nor Scots Gaelic in his role as
Rab C Nisbet.
He speaks Glaswegian which is, like Liverpudlian, Brummie or Cockney, is a
dialect and not a language. It does, indeed, feature many Scots words but is
mainly a dialect of English.
You are a font of useless and erroneous knowledge, or as we say in Scotland,
"yir ae muckle knapdarloch wha wad gar ye grue wi clytach".
Now, do you hear Scots people poke fun at Cockney people? Do they consider
Liverpool people stupid, do they say they cannot understand Brummies?
If they did I would be first to tell them how stupid they were.
God, you are not even a competent Troll.

Ah - genuinely sorry to hear about Mrs Peffers, Auld Bob - the last time we
had a Usenet argument she was still with us ( around 1998/99?)
Again, sincere condolences.

I'm pleased that she died peacefully - and I can imagine how much you must
miss her even now. A loving and good wife is a rare treasure, and an
irreplaceable loss.
I've been married for over 35 years, and, frankly, I don't have a clue how
I'd carry on if she died first. I hope you have your family around you,
especially at this time of year.
Happy Hogmanay, Ye aul' barmpot - and I hope that you continue spry and
healthy in order to plague Usenet for many a year to come! ;)
Regards.
Auld Bob
