Four years after the Times first released the story of Labour’s Barry Gardiner and just as Johnson and the Queen need a little distraction, MI5 re-release the story of the Chinese spy funding a Labour shadow minister.
What next?
In 2015, David Leask, thought by some to be MI5’s man at the Herald gave us the above. No doubt MI5 have something tenuous on an SNP figure stashed away for another rainy day.
If they go for the obvious line that any relationship with China supports their denial of self-determination to Tibet and, thus, weakens our case for independence, it’s worth reading this below:
The Herald in 2015 and other commentators suggested Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was afraid to damage trade links by criticising China’s regime in Tibet. See: ‘Tibet campaigners accuse SNP of ‘cosying’ up to China’ (link below).
While the Chinese regime is undeniably oppressive toward minority groups, it’s less so than many of the UK’s trading partners such as Saudi Arabia or Indonesia. However, there’s another reason. The current situation in Tibet is, for the majority, better than it was under the previous feudal regime. See this extract, from a rarely heard story, with the link to the full piece below:
‘What we don’t hear about Tibet’ by Sorrel Neuss
While the world moralises over China’s occupation, feudalism and abuse in Tibetan culture has been conveniently forgotten.
Sexual abuse in monasteries and oppressive feudalism in traditional Tibetan society has been factored out of the argument against China‘s occupation, oversimplifying it.
Han Chinese guards deliberately obstruct the pilgrim route through Lhasa to the holy Jokhang temple by sipping tea at strategically placed tables in the middle of the road. In front of the Potala, the Dalai Lama’s former seat of power, an imposing guarded concrete square glorifies China’s occupation.
Tibet seems like as a celestial paradise held in chains, but the west’s tendency to romanticise the country’s Buddhist culture has distorted our view. Popular belief is that under the Dalai Lama, Tibetans lived contentedly in a spiritual non-violent culture, uncorrupted by lust or greed: but in reality, society was far more brutal than that vision.
Last December, Ye Xiaowen, head of China’s administration for religious affairs, published a piece in the state-run China Daily newspaper that, although propaganda, rings true. “History clearly reveals that the old Tibet was not the Shangri-La that many imagine”, he wrote “but a society under a system of feudal serfdom.”
Until 1959, when China cracked down on Tibetan rebels and the Dalai Lama fled to northern India, around 98% of the population was enslaved in serfdom. Drepung monastery, on the outskirts of Lhasa, was one of the world’s largest landowners with 185 manors, 25,000 serfs, 300 pastures, and 16,000 herdsmen. High-ranking lamas and secular landowners imposed crippling taxes, forced boys into monastic slavery and pilfered most of the country’s wealth – torturing disobedient serfs by gouging out their eyes or severing their hamstrings.

Talking-up Scotland 
I have said it time and time again
Snr.SNP polititicians should refrain from
Joining sides with the usual Westminster
Hawks and MSM in criticism of China
The US has been badly caught out whilst
Fighting terrorism in Afghanistan
Along with disastrous handling of Covid
China has taken full advantage and surged ahead economically in all areas
Completely reorganising the whole of the economy creating centres of excellence
Whilst making massive advances in all things military
So much so that Very Snr ex political and military US personnel are now aware of Chinese prowess and urging the utmost of caution to be exercised
Telling them that conventially The West
Cannot possibly win a War with China now
Bet none know this
In 2021 their was over 3200 incidents of
Military activity perilously close to Sovereign Chinese territory
Who by you may ask
Well
US, UK,Australia,Japan,Canada,Germany,
Denmark,Belgium, Thailand,Indonesia,Singapore,Malaysia
And The Philipines
Would the US or any other put up with this
Of course not
And something the ABC ( BBC) or any others will Never tell you is
China has warned all Nations that in the event of military incursion into Chinese
Air,Land and Sea space Will result in their complete destruction and War on a unconditional basis declared immediately upon any or all involved
And that China will fight forever and a day,till victory secured
No quarter of magnaminity shall be given
China is quite simply ending Western economic and military hegomony
And without doubt is a Force of good for
A fairer and equitable world
Do not put your money on the tired old nag of bankrupt America they have already lost and China has told them that they can never ever possibly play catch up, because if they do so China will thump the accelerator pedal to ensure America goes bankrupt trying to do so

Personally I see little difference between China, the USA or Russia. They have different political systems and act to further their own needs in different ways. Ask yourself this, ‘who has caused the most conflicts in the last 70 years and who has over 80 military bases overseas’ . China has no overseas bases and Russia has two.

Yes all very timely and a convenient distraction from Tory ineptitude. These dastardly Russians and Chinese threatening World peace again are always in the news simpy to justify Westminster spending £000bn’s on WMD to supposedly keep us all safe from impending invasion. I wonder if for example the Spanish and people in other Nato countries are lying awake at night fearful and worrying that their Gov’s are not spending their taxes on WMD instead of improving public services. Methinks not.
