NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE

The possible threat posed by nuclear submarines operating around our shores to motor fishing vessels has once again been in focus following the incidents earlier this year off Western Scotland and in the Irish Sea .

Lost in Translation

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE

Turning on the Radio this morning I thought I had accidentally tuned to the BFBS (for those not up to speed with military parlance that’s the British Forces Broadcasting Service), but no, it was just the latest bulletin from military-fest on Douglas (Isle of Man) Promenade where the British Army are staging a ‘show’.

Conveniently it is just across from entertainments venue the Villa Marina so if the weather turns inclement they can take the show indoors.

Celtic League Vindicated – Again!

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE

The news that Police Scotland is to seek access to a recently declassified US Senate Report into CIA rendition using Scottish Airports including Prestwick as stop-offs when illegally detained persons were transported to torture centres is a clear vindication of over ten years of campaigning by the Celtic League and other Rights groups.

Lt. Governor: His Name or Our Future?

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE

As the Island tries to forge new economic initiatives in markets such as China what signal does it send that the Island is still ‘overseen’ by a person termed ‘Lt. Governor’.

People have derided nationalists for suggested the name change saying it is unimportant, but as the Chief Minister remarked on a recent visit to China, now seen as a potentially vital economic zone of interest for Mann, ‘status’ is important.

Military: The Media War!

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE

“The Army realised a long time ago that a gullible media produced a compliant public that was ‘on message’!”

With Military matters much to the fore of late I thought it best to adopt the old adage ‘know your enemy’, so I settled down for an evening’s reading with a few good books.

The League has had responses to a number of issues (involving road policing and burglaries) we raised with Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson following an interview he did with Manx Radio (Mandate) in early May.

CL News regulars will recall the Minister was a bit abusive about the Celtic League (see link) though the tone of his latest written response is much more measured.
