Lib Democrats Refuse To Debate on EU - Willie Rennie Knows His Lie About The EU Helping The Economy Simply Cannot Be Defended

  OK my apologies for being offline for the last few weeks.

  I can confirm that I have received no response, not only from Willie Rennie, the Scottish Lib Dem leader, but from ANY representative of the party to defend his claim, at the "Glasgow Skeptics" censored "debate" on separatism, that EU membership is economically beneficial.

  This empty chair seems appropriate.

 

   However, when an opponent runs from the field one may reasonably claim victory.

 

  I had originally planned to run this debate over a full week but because I was offline taking it up again seems inappropriate. I have sent this

 

Dear Mr Rennie and Lib Dem Party,

                                                           I note you & your party's refusal to debate, openly online or elsewhere, your claim that EU membership is beneficial to our economy.

 

     I trust you will not object to the obvious conclusion that you know this claim cannot successfully be sustained in open debate (as Mr Clegg has also shown).

 

     However I do not think it can either be disputed that open debate of issues is a necessary requirement of democracy or indeed liberalism and I put it to you that your refusal to debate is thus also proof that you and your party are neither liberal nor democratic. Let me know if you dispute either assumption or conclusion.

 

      In that light I would be willing to debate, in the same form, with you, or any approved "LD" spokesman on ANY subject where the UKIP position differs from yours.

 

      I assume that if you can find even 1 policy promoted by your party which is better than that of UKIP you will be more than happy to debate it.

 

     I look forward to finding if there is any such.

 

    Sincerely

    Neil Craig

 

Warming Sceptics Well Informed - No Warming For 20 Years

   This is a letter sent to the Scotsman in support of something from Mike Haseler they published proving that those who dispute the warming scare are statistically proven intelligent, moderate and scientifically literate.

   Obviously it wasn't published.
----------------------------------------------------

       Congratulations to Mike Haseler (Tuesday) for his thorough analysis of warming sceptics and his finding that they are overwhelmingly well educated, scientifically literate, reasonable people who simply do not believe that there is any sign of the prophesied catastrophic warming with its ludicrous 1-4 ft sea level rises by 2025-50.

 

       And congratulations to the Scotsman for actually publishing this. Good news does not sell papers. Particularly so when the entire political establishment are committed to catastrophism - particularly in Scotland where they unanimously passed the most expensive Climate Change Act in the world.

 

      Incidentally the latest research shows that we have now had no warming at all, not just none of the catastrophic sort, for 20 years. The alarmists, despite maintaining their outrageous claims about having the support of 97% of scientists, are still unable to name a single scientist, anywhere in the world, who supports catastrophism, without being paid by governments, despite that being at least 40% of world scientists. Meanwhile Europe and America have had 6 years of recession, caused by this alarmism, while the rest of the world has an average of 6% annual growth.

 

      Conceivably it is time to listen to well educated, scientifically literate, reasonable people rather than the sort politicians have paid so much to for false stories to scare us with.
