Torry Battery

UKIP like to support the local council when they are actively involved in something that will benefit the public. Its a shame the council cant act in the same manner when dealing with other plans. Like the plans to destroy Union Terrace gardens, against the public wishes. Not only is this undemocratic its a disgrace. But we will leave UTG to another day. But if Mr Wood wants to write off his £50 million worth of taxes, how about him going to the meeting below, and offering to build, something like a sea life centre at the Torry Battery, that would provide jobs, provide a tourist attraction, and would preserve the Torry Battery, as well as rejuvenating the area. Win Win Win if you ask me. I am sure the public would have other excellent ideas. But praise where praise is due, it seems the council are going about this in the correct manner.

The details of the public meeting are below. We urge you all to go along with your children and learn a little about this historic site, and help contribute to its protection and improvement.

A special event looking at the past, present and future of Torry Battery is being held on 04 December.


The day will run from 10.30am to 2pm in the lecture hall of the Marine Scotland Laboratory on Victoria Road.


The day will run in two parts -
10.30 am – 12.30 pm - A presentation by Aberdeen City Council historian Chris Croly, on the history of the Torry Point Battery, which will be followed by the chance to hear how you can get involved in a new project to conserve the historic site.


12.45pm - 2 pm - A unique opportunity to find out more about the marine lab, including the chance to have a guided tour around the facilities


Torry Point Battery has proudly stood guard at the entrance to Aberdeen harbour since 1860.


Its long and varied history has seen it be home to volunteer soldiers, regular army, homeless families and migratory birds.


The battery has experienced the highs and lows of the history of the 20th century along with Aberdeen and remains a prominent landmark at the top of the city's beautiful and rugged coastal path.


Torry Point Battery has been staffed by army regiments from across the United Kingdom and played a significant role in the defence of Aberdeen during the Second World War when it saw action during many of the German bombing raids on the city.


During the 1930s and late 1940s it was also home for many people when there was an acute housing crisis in Aberdeen and families lived within the Battery's stone walls.


Chris Croly said: "This should be a really interesting day, people can hear about the latest research into the battery's history and find out about our plans to conserve this greatly loved monument and how they can be involved.


"We are also really pleased to be able to reprint the leaflet which examines the battery's history."


The leaflet will be available free of charge in various city centre venues, including all art galleries and museums, libraries, The Point and the Tourist Information Centre

Islamic Community In Aberdeen

Now UKIP although against the insane mass immigration that's taking part in our country, and the knock on effects it has does realise that we have had immigrants who have come to our country and added to our society. Professional people who by there expertise, and skills have saved lives created jobs etc. Or who are here through genuine family circumstances, as in falling in love.
We believe that Immigrants who have been allowed to enter our country should abide by our laws, and treat our country with respect. We would hope that British people working abroad would abide by the same moral compass.
 Immigration has far exceeded tipping point and their is frankly too many people living on our Island, but worse than that is we have people living in our country who are here to do more than just work. They are here to set up a country within a country, to further their communities within the host country, because they do not wish to live according to the laws, customs and way of life of the host nations people.
One such group is the Islamic community  who are well on there way to taking over the central areas of our city. if you look here at the New Aberdeen Mosque   site you will see the groups aims is to develop the Muslim community within Aberdeen.
Now the word develop, means growth, and certainly suggests that they are here to expand, and as we see from other towns and cities across Britain what we will end up with is an ever growing Islamic community who are not here to live amongst us, but who are here to take over.
This is the type of Immigration that UKIP is rightly against. Now before the usual rants of racist, etc etc that's normally trolled out against anyone or group who wishes to stick up for our way of life within our country, id like these people to think who is being racist etc etc I would suggest perhaps its these people who come to our country, and then effectively turn there backs on us who are the racists,  unless of course we happen to be able to assist in the development of there community. Normally that consists of liberal types who because of there own self loathing, feel happy to hand over our country, these people serve a purpose for a while at least.

We in UKIP love our country, we expect people who have been lucky enough to have been granted the privilege to live in the UK to love our country as well. if you don't then quite frankly you should not be here. its as simple as that. Another thing that came to our attention is that it would seem the Aberdeen Islamic community seem to take direction from London as in how to DEVELOP their community. I wonder if its from the same people that were recently exposed by the BBC for running what can only be described as hate schools.  Aberdeen if you watched the programme has one of these weekend schools.

British National Party Scotland = Pathetic

Gary Raikes BNP Scotland Crank Leader. In his neo fascist pose. Nice touch Mr Raikes. Sure the public will lap up the Mussolini pose.

UKIP Scotland and indeed UK wide, don’t normally respond to any statements from the BNP, especially Scotland BNP. But we feel we must respond to the latest post on the very amateur BNP Scotland website, so that members of the public don’t get duped into voting for a party that is run by incompetent idiots, who pray at the altar of one fascist Nicholas Griffin.

UKIP are a wholly democratic party, where any elections for leadership are run on a fair democratic matter, and it’s this and another point only that I will use to respond to the utter tripe that is supposed to pass as political debate/information on the BNP Scotland Website.
The BNP earlier this year tried to run a leadership election, and from what I can gather from sources, they were unable to run a fair democratic, open election. How the hell can a so called party be expected to run a country when they can’t even run an election fairly.
And it’s the running the country point that I would like members of the public to focus on. UKIP have a full shadow cabinet ready to take power when we are elected.
We have policies that cover all areas of governance, and a full shadow cabinet, full of able professional people who really do know their areas of expertise. 
Also UKIP have 12 MEP's compared to the BNPs two, now this is nothing to boast about, but what we can boast about is having 12 professional people who really do fight for Britain and the British people. You can look at the links here and see for yourself how hard our MEP's work for you.

I could continue, but I refuse to go down the quite frankly childish route of, what can only be described as name calling by the BNP leader, one Gary Raikes. No wonder other parties deny the BNP the platform to debate, when all they have to offer is childish rhetoric, served up by cranks. I am sure the public will judge BNP Scotland’s leader on what he has to offer the country which will be nothing.

I urge you to have a look at both parties, as we don’t need to name call, we believe the public will judge us by our policies, our professionalism (Not me as I am just an amateur blog writer, but our MEP's and policy spokes people) and our ability to run the country when we get into power.

We will leave you the public, to judge who is who, and more importantly who is the real political party.
We would not normally post links to rivals websites, but UKIP do have a sense of humour, so in good humour we will as a one off post a link to BNP Scotland. We do advise taping up your sides first to avoid splitting by laughter.
Then after your tears of laughter have dried up and you want some serious politics pop over to the UKIP site.

BNP Scotland    (Warning your sides may split with laughter)

UKIP                ( Serious political party )

The Euro Game Is Up - Nigel Farage MEP

Listen to this man speak. This is why UKIP are far above so called parties like Labour the Conservatives, and all the other lesser parties, because we have statesmen like Farage, who like Churchill, is prepared to speak the truth, prepared to take the flak, but above all is prepared to give the British people what they want.

Dont vote for anyone else if you want to save Britain, vote for UKIP.

The EURO Explained in 3 minutes...Very funny and true.

Hat tip Andy Lovie..UKIP Aberdeen

Sometimes we get interesting e-mails.

The below e-mail came from a respected source.

CAN YOU PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY OFFSHORE WORKERS AS YOU KNOW. Wonder if you guys know that already about 60% of all the crewson our standby boats in the North sea are now Polish. Polish seamen are filling these posts at such a rate that within a year our standby boats will be 100% Polish crews. According to one whom I spoke to in the Station Hotel Aberdeen oin Monday night past, who said  " we starting on the standby boats then we start to take over also the oil platforms ". He was deadly serious. It appears also some of the Major employers in the North Sea ( all your big names) have set up training schools in Gadansk for Pipies, Platers, welders, Engineers and the like, with the view of filtering them into the North sea as soon as possible. Also another big player who we  BOTH know very well is apparently training up masses of Indians in the middle east Dubhi I believe. This is more on the Safety and Electrical side, Again this is with the view of filtering them in here as soon as possible. soon well be dominated by these workers and there is not much we can do, EXCEPT STAND UP " NOW " AND FIGHT. WHY SHOULD THESE PEOPLE  BE ALLOWED TO TAKE OUR JOBS. GUYS THE OIL COMPANIES MEAN BUSINESS HERE. " THEY WANT B I G G E R   PROFITS AS IF THEY'RE NOT MAKING ENOUGH NOW. Soon !!!! we'll have Polish Supervisors, Polish Safety men ( already being trained ) " BECAUSE " the poor Bloody  Polish or Indian worker will not be able to understand what a "BRITISH " Supervisor is saying.

WISE UP GUYS !!!!! IT'S ALREADY STARTING. YOU CAN SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES , YOUR NOT BLIND, "WERE NOT BLIND " -------- " G U T L E S S " YES WE ARE THAT. WELL ABOUT 80% OF US AT LEAST ---- " BECAUSE " WERE ALREADY LETTING THEM DO IT. THEY'RE  " SH****NG " ON US GUYS.   " DON'T HAND THEM THE PAPER TO WIPE THEIR ASSES WITH.  GET OF YOUR ASSES AND START DOING SOMETHING OR YOU WONT HAVE AJOB NTO PROVIDE THAT BRIGHT FUTURE YOU DREAMED OF FOR YOUR KIDS--- OR --- THE NICE HOUSE   " SHE " WANTED. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU " F**K " WITH HER OR LET THE KIDS DOWN, MANY OF US WILL LOOSE MUCH MORE THAN JUST OUR JOBS.

Apparently also the Aberdeen Labour M.P. ANNE BEGG has been shouting her fat mouth off big time in the P& J newspaper saying the noth sea is desperately short of skilled labour and we need Polish immigrants along with other skilled immigrants into the North Sea to fill this drastic shortage . About 150 of my  workmates have just been Paid off from the Brents over the last 6month . The word on the street although you'd never be able to prove it  ---- IS ----- she's been taken good care of to shout her mouth off and campaign for these immigrants. She will or can only gain from it will us British Workers Lose out.   I personally will be writing her, and expressing my opinion about her comments in the press, and believe me guys it will be in no uncertain terms. She " WILL " get the message from me at least. HAVE THE REST OF YOU WHO CARE ABOUT YOUR JOBS GOT THE GUTS TO EMAIL HER ABOUT THIS ???????????. FOR THE WEAKER MINDED ONE'S WHO READ THIS --- AND THERE ARE QUITE A FEW .  I SUGGEST YOU SHOW THIS LETTER TO YOUR WIVES AND LET THEM READ IT.   THERE ARE A LOT OF WOMEN OUT THERE WHO HAVE MORE B***S  THAN SOME OF THEIR MEN.  SORRY GUYS BUT IT'S TRUE.

Incidentally Sparrows cranes have just started 40 Russian Nationals to operate cranes in thew North sea .  CRANE OPS  BEWARE.

Also to add to the above we have just received good evidence, that another recent arrival to our country, who has been given a job dealing with council housing and waiting lists, is good at making sure friends and those of the same ethnic group manage to get allocated houses, a lot easier than locals do.
Where did we get this info well from a council worker from the same debt who has been told to keep quiet or risk losing their job. We will obviously not disclose our information source, but council officials will no doubt know who we are talking about. We have two questions. 1 will you deal with the situation. 2. Will you make it public, because I believe that the public have a right to know, as to why older children will be stuck at home, unable to move out, as will local families who may be living in substandard accommodation.


Its good to know that our houses are being handed out to the world. I am sure locals will rest in comfort knowing they don't matter. I wonder if this chap (small clue because it is a chap) will be one of the 900 to be losing their jobs. Or will it only be locals.  Cant have the council being accused of being racist cant we, no matter how incompetent and dishonest that person may be who should loose his job.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

I know that Remembrance Day was on the 11th, but I hope you can understand why i have held off this post. You see I am one of many ex soldiers in UKIP, and it is the Sunday nearest to the 11th that resonates as our real Remembrance day.

All across the British military, best boots will be bulled up and No2 Dress ready to be worn tomorrow, along with the many medals that our servicemen and woman are wearing nowadays.  I was lucky in my time in the Army, I caught a bit of the Gulf war,,,1st one, and some time in what was Yugoslavia, and of course the Duty tour of Northern Ireland, when things were still going bang. But I was lucky, because the dangers I faced are nothing compared to the first and second world wars and what our troops have to face in the hell hole that is Afghanistan.

All our servicemen and woman really are the best of British, and they stand for everything that makes me proud to be British. I have come across many liberals and leftists who openly sneer at our brave heroes, it's almost like they forget the reason why they are able to live in a free, democratic country. No doubt they will have empathy for the poor Muslims who thought it would be good to disrupt the remembrance day parade in London , by spouting pure hate and bile towards our hero's.

Anyone who who thinks they had a right to protest is as far as I'm am concerned a traitor to our nation.

Our nation exists only because people were prepared to fight for it and die for it. They really did die for our future, we really do owe them everything. And if you cant take a few minutes to remember them, and I am talking deep thoughtful remembrance, not some show bowing of the head, I am talking about the gut felt remembrance that I  and all other veterans feel. Then as far as I am concerned you have no right to consider yourself British, and you have no right to have a say in how this nation is run.

Tomorrow I will be on the remembrance parade standing proud, not for me but for those that cant be there, because I know if I had to make the ultimate sacrifice, they would stand proud for me.

This is something the lefties and the liberals will never be able to grasp, that solidarity and bond that comes from those that signed that contract as youngsters with their nation, a contract that expected you to give your life if needed, a contract we were happy to sign, because like all of those that cant be here today, we are,  and always will be proud to be British.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Van Rompuy, Wants to End Us As A Nation

Now the below post taken from the national UKIP site here,  really does say one thing to me, and that is that the EU wants to kill off nation states. Everything that I thought has now been confirmed by the Idiot Von Rompuy who is in charge of the whole communist debacle.

This is what parties like the SNP, Labour, Conservatives, and Liberals want to submit our too, they are all for the destruction of our nation. Why else do you think mass immigration is continuing unchecked, apart from a few mealy mouthed words that are spouted by the traitors to placate the masses. Why else is Cameron trying to decimate our forces, why else wont they give us our God dam democratic right to have a referendum on the Lisbon treaty and our whole membership of the European Union.  You know now Von Rumpuy has let it slip, he has in one massive clanger let slip what the whole agenda of the European Union is, that of Globalist Power handed to the few elites, who will use force, if needed to control us, whilst destroying everything we hold dear.
Folks our nation faces another D-Day, every bit as important as almost 70 years ago, we must leave the EU and reverse all the damage that it's already inflicted apon us.   Von Rumpuys statement of intent is below.

Van Rompuy 'unfit to govern', says Farage

Wednesday, 10th November 2010

EC President Herman van Rompuy has walked into a wall of criticism after calling Euroscepticism 'a lie' in a speech on Wednesday.
Mr van Rompuy – famously branded a "damp rag" by UKIP Leader Nigel Farage – told a German audience: "We have together to fight the danger of a new Euro-scepticism. This is not longer the monopoly of a few countries.
"In every member state, there are people who believe their country can survive alone in the globalised world. It is more than an illusion: it is a lie!
"Today’s nationalism is often not a positive feeling of pride of one’s own identity, but a negative feeling of apprehension of the others. The time of the homogenous nation-state is over."
Responding to van Rompuy's comments, Mr Farage said: "Mr van Rompuy is unfit to govern. As I warned last year, this man is an overpaid catastrophe who wants to abolish our nation. The only non-nation is Belgium, his own country."

"Nation states will not disappear because they are the expression of peoples' will. The EU is swimming against the tide of history. The number of nation states in the world is increasing all the time."

More Immigration. Less quality of life.

The news that the people of Bosnia Herzigova and Albania are to be given EU entry visas before Christmas has been branded "a bad deal" for Britain by UKIP Immigration spokesman Gerard Batten MEP.
"This European Council decision will simply mean that many more people will come to live in the UK," said Mr Batten.

"This is on top of the all the EU migrants from Eastern Europe post 2004 and the now the newly-announced immigrants from India.

"The bottom line is that Britain is overcrowded. David Cameron is being irresponsible letting so many new people in. We can only get back control of our immigration system by withdrawing from the political union that is the EU.

"Given that Bosnian President Izetbegovic gave a general amnesty to Al Qaeda terrorists in the 1990s, this report also increases the danger of Islamic terrorists gaining easy access to Britain. This is a very bad deal for British citizens."

UKIP Aberdeen would like to add, if anyone is wondering why their is such a rush to build 36,000 houses in the North east of Scotland. remember this is an initial number, we are sure that it will go up, you now know the real reason why. More houses simply means more immigration.  Oh and all the pluses that come from it, like higher unemployment, increase in crime, more congestion, reduction in vital services, because services have to provide for more and more people. In fact the minus points are too many to mention. So we will leave you to join the dots together as you sit in ever increasing traffic jams, if you are lucky enough to be heading to work.
When are we going to put OUR childrens future first and foremost, well you can start now by voting UKIP at the Scottish elections.

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.  DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. 
Rusk responded:
"Does that include those who are buried here?" 
DeGaulle did not respond.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American.  During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying 'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims.  What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
 A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:
'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply
emergency  electrical power to shore facilities; they have three  cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day,
they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.  We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?'

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, 'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied,
'Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. 
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically. 
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. 
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready." 
The American said,
'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." 
"Impossible! Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !" 
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. 

Then he quietly explained,
''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

Nigel Farage Wins UKIP leadership election.

Nigel Farage Ready To Lead And Fight For Britain.

I would firstly like to thank the UKIP electorate once more for putting their faith in me. I would also like to give thanks for being alive, for being here and for having the chance to take on this role again. I really did have the most miraculous escape from that plane crash. I must also give thanks to my family who, once again, will have to pay the price for me doing this job.

I note with delight that today is November 5th, a symbolic day of an attempt to overthrow the political class, although I promise our methods will be peaceful.

Being leader of UKIP is a job I have done before and I led the party in the European Elections of 2009 to second place across the entire United Kingdom. If I was bold before the accident, I'm fearless now.

And this is the time to be fearless; to be strong and decisive and to push for what we believe in. For never have the political classes been more out of touch with public opinion.

Patriotic Old Labour voters have known this for a long time. The Traditional Liberals are also finding it hard to recognise what the Liberal Democrats have become.

But for millions of Tory voters, the last few months have been something of a shock.

For years I was told 'The Tories are playing a very clever game' and 'Just wait until David gets in'.

Well, David is in. And his international policy is simple:

Surrender, Surrender, Surrender.

Patriotic Eurosceptic Tories are beginning to realise that under David Cameron and William Hague their party has ceased to exist. Quite simply, they've given up. Remember the cast-iron pledge of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty? They turned their back on it and now only UKIP are prepared to put the question to the British people.

In no single area does our national interest come first.

Look at the economy, with cuts made in almost all areas of public life except the EU budget. In December I will lead the UKIP MEPs in voting against not only the 6% rise proposed by the European Parliament but also the 2.9% rise we think is an insult to British tax payers and Mr Cameron thinks is some sort of victory.

And their defence policy reads like the script of a Gilbert and Sullivan farce. Carriers without planes and 50 year treaties with France; troop numbers at risk when we are facing the hardest fighting since the Second World War. Our Armed Forces should be completely at the command of the British government: they take an oath to The Queen as their Commander in Chief not Nicolas Sarkozy. We must take back full control of our defence forces.

As for immigration, well every single assurance the Tory Party has made has proved to be valueless. Now we don't just have an open door to the Bulgarian criminals gangs but a million Moldavians have been given EU passports and a new trade deal with India is being negotiated which proposes not just trade but an open door to the entire Indian work force into the United Kingdom. Every assurance on immigration caps is meaningless. The only people who should decide who comes to live, work and settle in this country should be the British people themselves through their own parliament.

But the acceptance by the coalition of the EU Foreign Policy and the formation of an EU External Action Service under the ludicrous Baroness Ashton is a policy which should make the Tories hang their head in shame. The woman that no one dares to criticise, a woman who has never been elected to anything apart from her successful position as treasurer of CND. Well I dare. Closing British embassies and replacing them with EU ones doesn't give the UK a bigger influence in the world.

And despite receiving millions of pounds from city sources, Mr Cameron has given away total control of the UK's biggest industry to three EU regulators. It is now an irrelevance who forms the British government now if you work in financial services. In all areas of our public life, UKIP is the only party saying let's take back control.

Sadly, there isn't time to mention the £8.7 billion being spent on dubious foreign aid or giving the vote to rapists and murderers; the wasted billions on useless windfarms and the closing down of British industry because of carbon credits.

In 'defending' the national interest, David Cameron has let the country down like a cheap pair of braces.

Britain needs a party that puts British interests first.

UKIP is that party, but it needs to up its game.

I'm appealing to people who believe in the UKIP message that the best people to govern Britain are the British people themselves; not to just agree with us, or lend us their vote at European Elections.


I'm appealing for them to join us, to get involved in this battle against our political classes. When David Cameron talked about the 'Big Society' I had no idea what he was talking about. Well, here's my version of it. Let's create the Big Society of law abiding, tax paying, patriotic people and urge them to join us in this battle against our gutless political classes.

Help us to make UKIP a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you.

Results can be found here.   UKIP Aberdeen would like to congratulate Nigel in his victory. But the other candidates also had fantastic qualities, and  they have important roles to play within the party. To all the readers looking in, have another read of Nigels superb speech. This IS what you WILL get if you vote UKIP, a UK where the UK and its citizens come first.
