The Land Of Do-As-You-Please 296

Posted on August 17, 2026 by

The contempt for the Scottish public being openly shown by public servants paid from the public purse to answer to the public has at this point reached such endemic levels that we’re not sure an acceptable level of trust can ever be salvaged.

The reply above is not just evasive, not even just pathetic, it’s insulting – not just to us, but to every citizen of Scotland.

Believers In The Ruins 140

Posted on August 13, 2026 by

Not done with celebrating defeat in an imaginary UDI yesterday, The National has gone with another big polling-based front cover today, and the party’s woke young stormtrooper drones are beside themselves with malignant glee.

Let’s just see what they’re cheering about.

The Other Kind Of Winning 73

Posted on August 12, 2026 by

The National runs headlines like this quite often.

The sort-of newspaper doesn’t actually have a sports section – it just publishes The Herald’s – but if it did you have to wonder what it would look like.

Anatomy Of A Grift 67

Posted on August 05, 2026 by

It’s sometimes tempting to believe that transactivists, and in particular the extra-loud attention-seeking type, are simply mad and/or stupid. But that’s not always the case, because this sounds like some actually pretty cunning work.

But let’s start at the beginning.

The Plague 91

Posted on August 04, 2026 by

Ever-alert Wings readers will be aware that for the past three and a half years or so I’ve been the target of a campaign by disgraced former policeman Lynsay Watson, who over that period has relentlessly attempted to get me arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned for knowing – and saying – that human beings can’t change sex.

(As we’ll learn during this article, I am far from unique in that experience.)

Watson has made numerous ludicrous, vexatious complaints to various police forces about me – a particularly memorable one being when he reported me last September for “perverting the course of justice” because I’d tweeted a link to a fundraiser for someone being persecuted by another transactivist – as well as trying to extort tens of thousands of pounds from me with threats.

Yesterday, though, he finally found some police officers gullible enough to listen.

The Deaf Eyes 31

The Nobodies 239

Posted on July 27, 2026 by

Apologies for the slightly shonky quality of this video, readers, which is due to the fact that ITV are such monumental self-sabotaging clowns that it’s not actually possible to screencap any sort of digital broadcast of theirs – screw YOU, viral content! – so we had to do this by videoing our iPad with our iPhone.

Ouch. And speaking of monumental self-sabotaging clowns, Scottish Labour.

The Wheels Of Industry 84

Last Friday’s edition of The National ran this guff:
