    I suppose no one in the SMSM asked why the Hun kitman Bell was up at Cowdenbeath over three hours before the game, with his kit in the team bus no doubt. Was he asked to find any excuse to cancel the game since their new recruits were obviously not fit.

    The Malign Incompetence of the British Ruling Class

     

    With Brexit, the chumocrats who drew borders from India to Ireland are getting a taste of their own medicine.

     

     

    By Pankaj Mishra

     

    Mr. Mishra is the author, most recently, of “Age of Anger: A History of the Present.”

     

     

    Describing Britain’s calamitous exit from its Indian empire in 1947, the novelist Paul Scott wrote that in India the British “came to the end of themselves as they were” — that is, to the end of their exalted idea about themselves. Scott was among those shocked by how hastily and ruthlessly the British, who had ruled India for more than a century, condemned it to fragmentation and anarchy; how Louis Mountbatten, accurately described by the right-wing historian Andrew Roberts as a “mendacious, intellectually limited hustler,” came to preside, as the last British viceroy of India, over the destiny of some 400 million people.

     

     

    Britain’s rupture with the European Union is proving to be another act of moral dereliction by the country’s rulers. The Brexiteers, pursuing a fantasy of imperial-era strength and self-sufficiency, have repeatedly revealed their hubris, mulishness and ineptitude over the past two years. Though originally a “Remainer,” Prime Minister Theresa May has matched their arrogant obduracy, imposing a patently unworkable timetable of two years on Brexit and laying down red lines that undermined negotiations with Brussels and doomed her deal to resoundingly bipartisan rejection this week in Parliament.

     

     

    Such a pattern of egotistic and destructive behavior by the British elite flabbergasts many people today. But it was already manifest seven decades ago during Britain’s rash exit from India

     

     

    Mountbatten, derided as “Master of Disaster” in British naval circles, was a representative member of a small group of upper- and middle-class British men from which the imperial masters of Asia and Africa were recruited. Abysmally equipped for their immense responsibilities, they were nevertheless allowed by Britain’s brute imperial power to blunder through the world — a “world of whose richness and subtlety,” as E.M. Forster wrote in “Notes on the English Character,” they could “have no conception.”

     

     

    Forster blamed Britain’s political fiascos on its privately educated men, callow beneficiaries of the country’s elitist public school system. These eternal schoolboys whose “weight is out of all proportion” to their numbers are certainly overrepresented among Tories. They have today plunged Britain into its worst crisis, exposing its incestuous and self-serving ruling class like never before.

     

     

    From David Cameron, who recklessly gambled his country’s future on a referendum in order to isolate some whingers in his Conservative Party, to the opportunistic Boris Johnson, who jumped on the Brexit bandwagon to secure the prime ministerial chair once warmed by his role model Winston Churchill, and the top-hatted, theatrically retro Jacob Rees-Mogg, whose fund management company has set up an office within the European Union even as he vehemently scorns it, the British political class has offered to the world an astounding spectacle of mendacious, intellectually limited hustlers.

     

     

    Even a columnist for The Economist, an organ of the British elite, now professes dismay over “Oxford chums” who coast through life on “bluff rather than expertise.” “Britain,” the magazine belatedly lamented last month, “is governed by a self-involved clique that rewards group membership above competence and self-confidence above expertise.” In Brexit, the British “chumocracy,” the column declared, “has finally met its Waterloo.”

     

     

    It is actually more accurate, for those invoking British history, to say that partition — the British Empire’s ruinous exit strategy — has come home. In a grotesque irony, borders imposed in 1921 on Ireland, England’s first colony, have proved to be the biggest stumbling block for the English Brexiteers chasing imperial virility. Moreover, Britain itself faces the prospect of partition if Brexit, a primarily English demand, is achieved and Scottish nationalists renew their call for independence.

     

     

    It is a measure of English Brexiteers’ political acumen that they were initially oblivious to the volatile Irish question and contemptuous of the Scottish one. Ireland was cynically partitioned to ensure that Protestant settlers outnumber native Catholics in one part of the country. The division provoked decades of violence and consumed thousands of lives. It was partly healed in 1998, when a peace agreement removed the need for security checks along the British-imposed partition line.

    The re-imposition of a customs and immigration regime along Britain’s only land border with the European Union was always likely to be resisted with violence. But Brexiteers, awakening late to this ominous possibility, have tried to deny it. A leaked recording revealed Mr. Johnson scorning concerns about the border as “pure millennium bug stuff.”

     

     

    Politicians and journalists in Ireland are understandably aghast over the aggressive ignorance of English Brexiteers. Businesspeople everywhere are outraged by their cavalier disregard for the economic consequences of new borders. But none of this would surprise anyone who knows of the unconscionable breeziness with which the British ruling class first drew lines through Asia and Africa and then doomed the people living across them to endless suffering.

     

     

    The malign incompetence of the Brexiteers was precisely prefigured during Britain’s exit from India in 1947, most strikingly in the lack of orderly preparation for it. The British government had announced that India would have independence by June 1948. In the first week of June 1947, however, Mountbatten suddenly proclaimed that the transfer of power would happen on Aug. 15, 1947 — a “ludicrously early date,” as he himself blurted out. In July, a British lawyer named Cyril Radcliffe was entrusted with the task of drawing new boundaries of a country he had never previously visited.

     

     

    Given only around five weeks to invent the political geography of an India flanked by an eastern and a western wing called Pakistan, Radcliffe failed to visit any villages, communities, rivers or forests along the border he planned to demarcate. Dividing agricultural hinterlands from port cities, and abruptly reducing Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs on either side of the new border to a religious minority, Radcliffe delivered a plan for partition that effectively sentenced millions to death or desolation while bringing him the highest-ranked knighthood.

     

     

    Up to one million people died, countless women were abducted and raped, and the world’s largest refugee population was created during the population transfers across Radcliffe’s border — an extensive carnage that exceeds all apocalyptic scenarios of Brexit.

     

     

    In retrospect, Mountbatten had even less reason than Mrs. May to speed up the exit clock — and create insoluble and eternal problems. Just a few months after the botched partition, for instance, India and Pakistan were fighting a war over the disputed territory of Kashmir. None of the concerned parties were pushing for a hasty British exit. As the historian Alex von Tunzelmann points out, “the rush was Mountbatten’s, and his alone.”

     

     

    Mountbatten was actually less pigheaded than Winston Churchill, whose invocation stiffens the spines of many Brexiteers today. Churchill, a fanatical imperialist, worked harder than any British politician to thwart Indian independence and, as prime minister from 1940 to 1945, did much to compromise it. Seized by a racist fantasy about superior Anglo-Americans, he refused to help Indians cope with famine in 1943 on the grounds that they “breed like rabbits.”

    Needless to say, such ravings issued from an ignorance about India as intractable as that of the Brexiteers about Ireland. Churchill’s own secretary of state for India claimed that his boss knew “as much of the Indian problem as George III did of the American colonies.” Churchill displayed in his long career a similarly imperial insouciance toward Ireland, sending countless young Irishmen to their deaths in a catastrophic military fiasco at Gallipoli, Turkey, during World War I and unleashing brutal paramilitaries against Irish nationalists in 1920.

     

     

    The many crimes of the empire’s bumptious adventurers were enabled by Britain’s great geopolitical power and then obscured by its cultural prestige. This is why images cherished by the British elite of itself as valiant, wise and benevolent could survive, until recently, much damning historical evidence about these masters of disaster from Cyprus to Malaysia, Palestine to South Africa. In recent years, such privately educated and smooth-tongued men as Niall Ferguson and Tony Blair could even present the British as saviors of suffering and benighted humanity, urging American neoconservatives to take up the white man’s burden globally.

     

     

    Humiliations in neo-imperialist ventures abroad, followed by the rolling calamity of Brexit at home, have cruelly exposed the bluff of what Hannah Arendt called the “quixotic fools of imperialism.” As partition comes home, threatening bloodshed in Ireland and secession in Scotland, and an unimaginable chaos of no-deal Brexit looms, ordinary British people stand to suffer from the untreatable exit wounds once inflicted by Britain’s bumbling chumocrats on millions of Asians and Africans. More ugly historical ironies may yet waylay Britain on its treacherous road to Brexit. But it is safe to say that a long-cosseted British ruling class has finally come to the end of itself as it was.

  3. Celtic please listen 5.33 and 5.51

     

     

    Substantial and potent posts my friend.i do hope they heed and take what you say and act on seriously..

     

    It gives an insight into feeling if championship is not met and the anger at david Murray’s cheating tenure.

     

    Hail hail

  4. Celtic please listen on

    I live in hope our custodians just tell it like it is, that will do me. I love our club & the vast majority of our fans are true ambassadors for Scottish football. Most like me live & breathe Celtic, no greater sight than paradise for this east end bhoy in the world & i have seen a fair bit. HH

  5. CelticPleaseListen

     

    In the absense of true justice and I think that some acts may have been criminal, then if our club put its cards on the table about EBTs Res12 the status of that club and its claim to titles it would encourage me to go back, until then not a chance, and, I do miss it.

  6. Good to see police Scotland up their game and manage four arrests last night. Must have been serious, more serious than when earlier this season they missed any misdemeanours in a pitched battle in Glasgow city centre between sevco and Wigan followers, and again a few weeks later when two Croatian fans were stabbed outside Ibrox. We can only hope they can maintain this new found vigilance and find the culprits responsible for wrecking the Celtic Park toilets two years ago.

  7. 10 Days of the Transfer window to go.

     

     

    Do we reckon we will see any inward transfer activity ?

     

     

    For whatever reason, Brendan has all but ruled out a centre half signing. So that ain’t going to happen.

     

     

    If we were to sign a quality right back, I would be reasonably pleased with our business this window.

     

    If we don’t sign anyone else, then I can only summarise that it has been an under-whelming window.

     

     

    Although Weah a minute. Our Timothy could have a say on that perception.

  8. hi bhoys, on another celtic site we have been debating what was sung at parkhead yesterday, namely, the soon there will be no protestants at all, now as you know im 65 now, but 50 years ago id be belting out the same song, but as the years pass you grow up, hopefully, and the green brigade will also, so we cant condem them for singing what we used to sing.hh.

  9. Sandman –

     

    Your player ratings report are generally my 2nd most sought after post of the week (BSR’s link to the full Brendan press conferences is my personal highlight). Now, call me an old fuddy duddy but your ratings would be just as funny without the swear words. Even when you are commenting on N’tcham! No point trying to argue against 1 of the only 2 site rules (language and no personal attacks, from memory) as they’ll never change. I hope you continue to post, regularly after each and every game.

  10. SANDMAN’S POLITBUREAU/PRAVDA/NewCelticViewQuickNews OFFICIALLY APPROVED/CENSORED RATINGS: CELTS v BABYLONIANS:

     

     

    Dear Sirs,

     

     

    It was nice.

     

     

    Everything was nice about yesterday.

     

     

    The team played nicely, the management manged nicely and the support as a whole behaved quite nicely.

     

     

    The board looked nice in their nice posh seats too.

     

     

    These ratings too, reflect the niceness about everything. And the blog, well we’re now keeping it nice so nobody has to read anything challenging.

     

     

    All nice. Even this nicely constructed sentence about the nicety of it all will make you feel nice.

     

     

    In summary: Nice. Or, Nice, if you’re French…

  11. Jobo.

     

    The issue I have with the rule is, what constitutes a swear word and who decides.

     

    I have discussed this with Paul, and its the inconsistency that irks me.

     

    An obvious example would be bugger, when I grew up it was deemed one of the worse swear words going and you would always be belted for saying it.

     

    However it seems to be acceptable on this site.

     

    For clarification I’m broadly in agreement with Sandman on this, but I accept that it’s Paul’s blog and his rule, but a wee bit of consistency and clarification on the subject would be helpful.

     

    Hail Hail

    ======================================

     

     

    Yes we can.

     

     

    Jock Stein was a protestant. There are many thousands of Celtic fans protestant or non-religious.

     

     

    The words are archaic and an insult to Celtic greats. They need to shelve the embarrassment for good.

  13. Fool Time Whistle on

    Fan-a-tic

     

     

    My poor wife watches with me & I can hear her eye rolls as I have my weekly interractive session with what they now call a Smart TV.

     

     

    With 30 mins gone yesterday I was off on a mini rant about how much it was like a training session of possession with no goalposts. We were given half the pitch to play in without any interference from the opposition yet the best we could mount was a first minute shot from our right back. Our midfield didn’t have enough movement & the defence seemed unsure/disinclined to play anything long for Oliver Burke.

     

    Result was like watching paint dry and grass grow at the same time.

     

     

    So I agree that we seemed prdeictable, pedestrian & uninspired in the 1st half,

     

     

    For me though, things changed at HT. James Forrest seemed more up for it & saw more of the ball. Burke actually got some passes to where he could use them.

     

     

    By the time the youngsters came on, Airdire seemed to blowing a bit and were trying to see out the game.

     

     

    I thought Mike & Tim both looked hungry & had the pace & movement to cause them loads of problems.

     

     

    Mike draws players to him because of his pace & trickery – I’d just like to see him show some more awareness when he does that. Very often there are players in great position in the box that never get the pass from him, precisely when he has drawn mulitple opposition players to him. He’s young though & I’m sure he;ll develop that side if his game.

     

     

    HH

  14. I hear there is talk of a pre-contract with Dominic Iorfa, not saying it will happen, just what I hear. Defender with Wolves.

     

    Keep the Faith!

     

    Hail Hail!

  15. SANDMAN, don’t disagree with you in the slightest, only pointing out what we used to sing 50 years ago, not saying it was right, it was just what was sung, im pretty sure the green brigade will eventually grow up, and sing proper celtic songs.hh.

  16. Castagne ❌

     

     

    Elabdellaoui ❌

     

     

    Some guy from Wolves that hasn’t played in a year ✅

     

     

    Good times. He’ll be here for one in a row.

  17. Fool Time Whistle on

    Big Packy

     

     

    I remember singing stuff on the East Kilbride bus in 1966/67 & frankly, as we didn’t have song sheets I sang what I thought I heard others sing. Some, maybe even most of it made no sense at all but I didn’t care & nobody else seemed to know.

     

     

    Today, I would be called a Protestant by some since I don’t go to church at all, even though I used to be an altar boy, sang in the choir & was even a seminarian for 3 years.

     

     

    We know what our club’s & our own roots are & all of that can be celebrated apporpriately. But to me it seems curious at best and gormless at worse to claim we are a club open to all creeds & colours or that it’s whether the man fits the jersey that matters etc yet sing sectarian stuff during games at Celtic Park.

     

     

    For me, we are either one or the other; we cannot be both.

     

     

    Let the people with no class or civilized culture sing their virtiolic dirges of hate. We have enough good songs without being provoked by their heap of dung.

     

     

    HH

  18. To add to the songs debate — we are turning into green huns with the new GB songbook.

     

     

    Roamin …

     

    Various militaristic dirges …

     

    The slosh.

     

    Burtons commando recruitment drives.

     

    Desires to buy and use sub machine guns.

     

    A desire to explicitly reinforce our Irish roots every 10 minutes.

     

     

    At times last night you have thought there was no game on.

     

     

    We are better than this.

     

     

    The agenda being pushed by a hard core of Clearasil Republicans is a not very subtle attempt to bring shame and disgrace to the club.

     

     

    You have to wonder who drives this agenda and to what end — I fear that some of the people pushing this songbook are at the command of others who want to do the club down.

     

     

    We are in the era of Trump and identity politics — stupid wee boys will be stupid wee boys — but the reckless desire to upset other fans and do the club and the support down suggests at best rampant teenage nihilism or at worst an outside influence.

     

     

    The only one missing is “SS RUC”.

     

    They definitely do not know their history.

    The young team having been brought up in a society built on conflict having no one to fight with as the people who did the fighting try and achieve things more peaceably.

     

     

    The same the world over — stupid wee boys trying to act like their fathers and grandfathers.

     

     

    Not knowing that the stories were fanciful and the failures forgotten about.

     

     

    They want to live the lie.

     

     

    Then you add the Trump dimension and the identity politics element — if we dont stop it now it will get worse.

     

     

    Finally where is the progressive politics that the GB have always pushed or at.least claimed they pushed?

     

     

    Has the St Al’s crowd been out muscled by a more focused, more doctrinaire and more direct viewpoint?

     

     

    I fear they didn’t know what forces they had unleashed.

     

     

    They were told but they wouldn’t listen.

  22. GOALS GALORE 4 WEEK 4

     

     

    Good Evening Contestants.

     

    Well, after yesterdays mainly low scoring cup-ties, we have a clear leader, and the Chase is on !

     

    After my wee joke about CRC changing his team name last week, Karma raised her skirts and flashed her longjohns when The Dons could only manage a solitary goal against Stenhousemuir who had before yesterday conceded 46 goals in 21 league games and sit adrift at the foot of Scottish League One ( that’s the third division in old money ). Biggest winners were those who picked Hibs with a joker, recording the highest scores in the competition so far. Still Seven weeks to go, but a lot of jokers have been played in the first three rounds. It’s shaping up to be a tight competition this year.

     

    On to next weekends fixtures. Our selection comes from SPFL and 4th round of the FA Cup, spread over 3 days , with the first game on Friday evening

  23. Is Phil the Greek in the GB?

     

     

    He acts as if he is …

     

    … Rules — who needs them?

     

    I do as I bloody well like.

     

     

    Sing dodgy songs, dont wear seatbelts.

     

     

    All the same thing if you have a halfbaked libertarian view of life.

  24. We can argue all we like that the songs aren’t sectarian – but they are offensive or at least in poor taste and have nothing to do with Celtic.
