A second credit crunch?

6 August 2011

Fears about the solvency of the financially stretched southern eurozone states is making it harder for their banks to borrow, which raises the possibility of a second credit crunch.

Almost four years to the day since the banking crisis and credit crunch, we have a second credit crunch looming on the horizon for southern European banks - which in turn could infect and undermine the ability of northern European banks to borrow.

The SCP analysis of the sovereign debt problem in the eurozone and the US is here.

Stop adulterating marriage

5 Feb 2013: The Westminster Government has introduced its Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill to redefine, or rather adulterate, marriage.

40,000 teachers face the sack over changing marriage.

Willie Bain, MP, Glasgow North East, said that the Westminster Bill will affect Scotland.

No Highlands and Islands MP spoke up in support of traditional marriage.

Christians are encouraged to write to their MPs and MSPs to register their opposition to any legislation along this line, and to write to the Westminster and SNP Government to encourage them to drop this idea.

We already have polygamy recognised by UK legislation. The SCP response to the SNP Government's consultation is available for download.

14 Jun 2012: The SCP Response to “Equal civil marriage”, the Westminster Government’s consultation document.

The Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast

21 Jan 2013: Guest Speaker Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, the author of "The Harbinger", calls America to repentance instead of its current defiance. He quoted Abraham Lincoln: "Those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord", and George Washington's words on 30/4/1789: "The propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself hath ordained."

Local Council elections 3rd May 2012

Do you have a SCP candidate in your area? If you do, give your first vote to the SCP, and if he or she does not succeed, your vote will not be wasted because it will automatically transfer to your next viable choice.
This means that your choice will count twice. This may not work if you do it the other way round; a second vote for the SCP will simply not register if the SCP candidate does not have enough number 1 votes.
If you want a SCP candidate in your area at the next election, prepare now, in good time, and read about the process here.

Islamic terror

Over 50,000 people have already emailed the Iranian embassies around the world – add your voice to theirs and deliver Nadarkhani. SCP website details.

Re-elect or Resurrect?

Alex Salmond wanted to re-elect the SNP. We want to resurrect a Christian society in Scotland, and de-select the Lib Dems and the Greens.

Vision for Scottish recovery

We have a Vision for Scotland which develops the north's resources as a future driving force for Scottish productivity and trade.

Help for the small man

We will fight for the consumer, forgotten in this climate of spending cuts but rising prices. We propose a radical solution to consumer debt to help the consumer by forcing more prudent lending policies. It is too easy to hold consumers to ransom.
