WE LOVE THE UK...AND CANADA. Ep 26. 7 July 2021

Pro-UK unionist campaign group and think tank, A Force For Good presents 'Good Morning UK. Have Your Say!' coming to you LIVE from our nerve centre in the Great British City of Glasgow, with Alistair McConnachie. In a packed programme, we discuss:Show more

1. The absurdity of Boris devolving the Covid situation to his political enemies. (4.20)
2. Using "common sense" is opposite to the SNP modus operandi of control (6.30)
3. Politicians have trapped themselves into a "Cases narrative" where a case equals an "infection", which means that healthy is recorded as diseased. This is a false-frame which will be difficult for them to break out of (8.50)
4. Best of luck to the England football team tonight (13.20)
5. Being British means we can share in the joy regardless of which part of the British Isles succeeds (14.15)
6. The SNP has an authoritarian, not libertarian, tendency (18.50)
7. On this Day in British History – the Face of Britannia on the coins, born, Francis Teresa Stuart (actually 8th July!), and Arthur Conan Doyle, Liberal Unionist, dies (20.00)
8. We examine the disturbing events in Canada on 1st July on Canada Day, when the statue of HM the Queen was pulled down in Winnipeg, and the British government's utterly inadequate response (30.30), including:
- John A Macdonald, Glaswegian, the first Prime Minister of Canada, in 1867.
- Some people are complaining about the residential schools from the position that white Europeans should have not tried to integrate them.
- But what were the options when the white Europeans met the native peoples?
- Everybody could make up a bad story about boarding schools prior to 1970 – especially in a day and age of huge infant and child mortality and no welfare state!
- Lots of children from Scotland suffered too – so why make your suffering more important than other people's suffering?
- We examine Boris Johnson's utterly inadequate condemnation of the vandalism.
- Condemn, excuse, or cheer – which one will it be?
- What a proper condemnation sounds like.
- Do not address your opponents reasoning during your own condemnation.
- It's good for history to be brought out, but not to be taken out of context, mis-represented, and used for the political purpose of trying to overthrow the state.
