Wings Over Scotland

One of your best. Deserves sharing far and wide.

chicken afraid of roasting.

Excellent.

What are they putting in the water down in England, they mostly seem to have lost their common sense or . . Gumption.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because Dominic told him to.

Next time Boris avoids a TV debate, his chair should be filled with a big chicken.

Everyone know he can’t open his mouth without lying, taking the piss, or saying something really stupid.

And he can manage all three at once – like when he said his spare time is spent building model buses! Aye, complete with NHS promises on the side.

So of course Boris has to be kept away from cameras unless it is very strictly controlled.

I’ll pose the obvious question – how did he ever get this far up the greasy pole?

Fowl play. Why did the media not ask the chicken why he crossed the road?

Perhaps chickens look forward to the day when they can cross the road without having their motives questioned?

BTW Maybe it’s worth encouraging Kirkcaldy voters to vote for Neal Hanvey. Perhaps he is standing as an Independent?

I wish Boris Johnson was just chicken, afraid of his incompetencies and dishonesty being exposed.

Worringly, I think it’s more to do with a total disregard for any democratic accountability. The Tories feel no real need to justify anything.

The opinion polls suggest ( I hope they are wrong) that the Tories are going to win this election by being unaccountable, arrogant, anti-democratic. That is one of their attractions, or not a negative, to those who will vote Tory.

Sadly, too many of the people of England, and too many in Scotland, simply don’t care about democracy, accountability. As long as they’re all right Jack, sod the rest. Sod democracy. To hell with civilised society.

We look back at history and maybe some people ask: Were the people of Germany and Italy stupid then? Were they evil or what? How could things like this happen? How could normal people support evil regimes? Why would people support the likes of the Hitler, Mussolini?

I think UK politics is giving indications of how democracy can lead to evil dictatorships. How previously decent people can be led down the path of supporting evil politicians, evil politics, destroying the democratic accountability that acts as a check on extremist politics.

Media control, manipulation of the information people can receive, sidelining of those who will question, will expose truth. Facts replaced by jingoism, slogans, appealing to mob rule.

We are living in worrying times for democracy.

We need independence to save Scotland and her people from this madness.

A friend, yesterday, said he really dreads a Tory win.

But if that is how England votes then that is what all UK gets.

Obviously Scotland HAS to be Independent for many many many reasons more than a mere a Tory government in Westminster.

Scotland should and WILL be Independent. SOON. VERY VERY SOON.

The situation we find ourselves in now should NEVER have happened.

And Scotland WILL be Independent soon and Wales and North of Ireland will follow soon too.

BUT WHY DOES ENGLAND VOTE TORY?

IT is clearly not good for the vast vast majority of folk there but hey ho that is what comes out on top. The worst possible option for the folk.

A malaise of self sabotage that I sincerely hope and predict the good folk of England will shake off in time when they see how folk CAN prosper and thrive with a government that genuinely has the good of its people at its heart.

That seems to be an alien concept.

Come on England. YOU DO DESERVE BETTER!

Scotland will soon be free and in spirit you can follow =)

We are working really hard to get rid of her in East Dunbartonshire and get Amy Callaghan elected for Snp .

Yey, just completed a 8 mile mountain bike leafleting sortie across enemy territory.
Leaflet drop a success, and warmed myself up in the process. It’s still minus 5 C here but feels almost tapps aff weather due to the physical exertion.
Top timing getting out early as the fat gammons must still have been feeding at their troughs, but they are up now and their guns are blasting away at the peasants pheasants.

Anybody actually seen a Tory or Labour street stall? Largs usually has at least a Tory one but so far with only one weekend left (and I think the forecast is for it to be dreich next weekend) they haven’t shown up once. SNP have been out most weekends. The weather has been kinder than one could have hoped at this time of the year but apart from obvious photo opportunity events it has been an incredibly quiet campaign. TV and social media seem to be the baskets where the other parties have put all their eggs.

That said, on that front Boris appears to be more liability than asset. Can he snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Funnily enough, I was expecting a “terrorist” attack in the run up to the election. I really thought it might come on the eve of the SNP manifesto launch as it did in 2017. Was there one in 2015? I forget.

What is it about elections that annoys the terrorists so much?
Is “they hate our values” a racist trope?

It will allow Boris Johnston to appear on the Andrew Marr show and reap the benefit of being the PM facing down the evil doers.
Boris Johnston = the Unity candidate.

It’s also why, by the way, I still think there’s time to get the SNP vote over 50% – taking the right argument to the right person.

Don’t want Independence? No problemo, here’s our anti-austerity policy. Rich dude? How is your business going to survive with Brexit? Not very well? Join the club!

As far as Neale Hanvey is concerned, if I was in his constituency I’d vote for him.

The cartoon “trope” he posted a link to isn’t that clear, and probably not known to many people. I didn’t know about it, though I did vaguely remember when I thought about it, comments years and years ago about the Rothchilds.

Might be worth SNP campaigners doing a “whole truth” thing in fact – describing it to people and asking if they thought it was anti-Semitic? The Truth can set you free.

Excellent Chris and on the money, Johnson soon to be US chlorinated chicken.

@Dadsarmy,

Halo,,,,,(Hello).

Can I also ask for a link!
The interview of the clinician/bacteriology expert on GMS earlier this week. The one who had Gillian Marles hyperventilating. I think someone put a link on Wings but I can’t find it. Thanks!

Jason Leitch destroys BBC Scotland’s whole smear campaign against Jeane Freeman in one interview. 25/11/2019
link to youtube.com

From Rev’s feed. Worth a read, longish thread with detailed understanding of how this is coming about:

‘I work as an investor. I can categorically confirm that the NHS is up for sale under this government. I have been to investor presentations where we could have brought significant parts of your healthcare provision.’

@ Nana

I’ve just listened to that interview with Jason Leitch – thank you for posting the link.

I am of course biased, but it sounded to me as if the interviewer, instead of being relieved by his reassurances, was really, really, disappointed that he was depriving her of a stick to beat the government with.

@Fireproofjim

That might be the one I posted.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because he was looking for a halo, Jen

Too subtle or too elementary for some, perhaps 🙂

I don’t know if Neale Hanvey is anti Semitic, but the cartoon and quotes he has admitted to clearly are.

If he was not able to realise that they are inappropriate then he is too stupid to be an MP. If he got elected he would be ongoing reminder of this and an embarrassment to the SNP.

The real issue is why was a candidate in such a high profile seat was not properly vetted. Several parties seemed to have let themselves down in this regard.

So Usman Khan gets 16 years for planning to put bombs in the London stock exchange and in toilets of pubs in Stoke.

Six years into his sixteen year sentence he’s released whereupon he then slaughters two innocent individuals.

Big question about the English judicial system and the security services. This was a convicted Islamic terrorist.

Like letting Myra Hindley and Ian Brady out to kill again Prime Minister Johnson needs to explain.

This is an outrage – strong and stable it’s not.

Gfaetheblock

Problem is it only takes a moment to retweet or share a post that makes us chuckle without thinking. Trying to vet that going back years for every candidate who might not even remember having done it is no easy task. Vetting candidates prior to social media was a piece of cake compared to now (and still they got it wrong back then).

I would advocate a small substitute list for each party whereby a standby could be brought in to cover death, illness and suspension.

Neither the terms antisemitism nor islamophobia have any relevance to Scotland’s struggle for independence and sovereignty.
We ought not to be distracted by others ‘issues’.
Stick to our ‘issue’.

Hi having gone through snp vetting process all prospective candidates are asked to delete any potentially embarrassing social media content. Problem is many dont see this through hostile opposition eyes and SNP needs request access and review any approved candidates online history before they can become adopted candidates

Simple rule really is that candidates should delete their full twitter history, and candidates and politicians should only use twitter to announce hustings, surgeries, policies, and sensible stuff.

So many politicians use of Twitter is stupid, inaccurate, offensive and sometimes illegal. And yet no political party seems to have strict guidelines for its use – or any social media come to that. And that misuse goes right to the top.

NB : the guy who started this petition is an english rightwinger, a faragist, I think
– but its good for us anyway, if we can get “middle england” on board for these measures
(his personal beef is he thinks the blair govt was “at it”-bigtime)

These people join big political parties as ordinary members then begin their work of destabilisation from within, the Labour party suffers from the same people, they’re like ticks you don’t notice at first till they start draining your blood

I’ve no doubt the SNP will shed them like the Labour party is trying to do but they’re an insidious bunch who make a lot of noise and they love to use the media and the media love to use them

The climate change people have got them too, they aren’t there to promote causes they’re there to wreck other peoples causes

I`m sorry but after all that’s happened ie the lie that was the VOW swiftly followed by Brexit, why have we only increased the vote by 5% since `14.
I truly despair of my own countrymen.

Hanvey at least suspects skullduggery.

@ McDuff: it was 28% before the 2014 referendum and ended up as 45%. Now we start at 45%. I am sure that when there’s a date to vote again for Yes, that 45% will grow to well over the 50% required.

Happy days.

Dan @ 4.20
That’s the clip.
Many thanks

Super scribbling CC,but I suspect it’s his handlers who are frit . Fecked on detail, he needs to be kept away from the danger of potential gaffes.
There’s far too much at stake this time, maybe even the party itself, and their associates & sponsor’s can’t have that. it’ll bugger up their game.
JC mustn’t gain power, Blair & Broon were acceptable, compliant .
Easy as she goes! It’s theirs to lose as it stands.

Mental case, who’s victims were failed by a non existent probation service, or asset activated ?
Horrible as it is for those directly involved, this Will be blown out of all proportion.

These terrrr chappies seem awfully accommodating, keeping quiet for ages, and only popping out for purdah.

We need a Spartacus movement for this lad Hanvey, the witch-hunting really is getting out of hand.

I’ll be voting for Neale Hanvey. I have steered clear of twitter on the subject because it is absolutely toxic. I left the SNP to join the greens but have become disillusioned with them too tbh.
It looks like an inside job IMO and the SNP were left with little choice – parties are terrified of the anti-Semitic label. I noticed it used by Matt Hancock in his huntings which someone had posted on twitter.
Labour expelled Derby’s Chris Williamson who is a big economic reformer under similar circumstances.

If Neale does get elected I’d be interested to see if he remains independent- hope he does.

@McDuff

The slow rate of change could also be because of the way our society has evolved and is currently structured.
With power being so centralised it can feel (and in my view is) too distant, and the way the levels of power are structured also involves too many people for an individual to think they can have any influence, and more importantly trust, in whom and where the power lies.
Mentioned this before but primate groups have an optimum size of around that of a very small village.
In those groups there are social bonds and a reliance on others for the group to function.
A human individual may have 2000 friends on that skip fire that is Arsebook, but they aren’t real friends in the true sense, as there is just not enough time to have developed and sustain the many significant emotional connections that trust stems from.
Humans are hardwired to be wary of strangers. It’s a natural emotion we carry from way back.
I therefore think the best way to begin to influence a change in a person’s propaganda influenced position is through some kind of already existing social connection, so at the very start of any interaction there is already a seed of trust or a mutual acquaintance foundation to build from.
Now would be a fine time for all those younger and newly registered voters to go and have a nice word with their grandparents, as they are more likely to listen to their own younger kith and kin than a stranger knocking on their door.

Thanks Marcia!

Great front page on (now yesterday’s) National.

Three outlets I was in today had the paper covered up by some other Yoon rag. (Not for the first time).

Disgruntled Yoon voters no doubt trying to sanitise their news outlets from those natsy Nationalists.

Re Mr Hanvey I watched an interview with John Swinney and he was asked about this and he said Neale Hanvey’s name is still on the ballot paper and it’s up to him if he wants to stand as an Independent, in other words vote for Hanvey, because the SNP have done the right thing and Neale Hanvey’s done the right thing so get on with it and vote for him, and whatever’s happened and by whom can be cleared up later whether he’s a bad guy or a good guy

My spidey senses tell me he’s been a fitted up guy, but who knows

@robertknight
Yes, very good front cover. I saw it in its own big priority place on the stand in a Morisons and a Sainsbury’s we were in looking for cat snacks, and it was very impactful. It’s probably IanB’s fault 🙂

There is merit in this comment in the Guardian BTL, but also something interesting I think, viz, the writer is almost certainly English and is writing from an English perspective, almost as if Scotland and the rUK didn’t exist, as with the reference in para 3 to the UK being a nation. The Colonial mindset is indeed very strong among the English. Scotland should be very wary indeed of this core attitude, because it appears to be present in almost the entire population of England.

“If Labour don’t win this election, historians will look back in the coming decades and wonder wtf voters were thinking of.

One party has a vision of the country, of the world even. The other is a mirror image of its leader – a lying, incompetent, womaniser who cares for not one person other than himself.

It’s one thing for a nation to be in rapid decline, as the UK clearly is, but it’s another thing for its citizens to actually vote for it with not a single upside.”

Tories have got the chicken (Boris Johnson).
Labour have got the egg-man (Jim Murphy).
SNP, and Scotland, have got the beating of them both.

The gap may or may not be narrowing. England is Tory country. It returns Tory governments and allows the items and huge corporates to prosper at ordinary people’s expense.

Ten years of declining living standards and austerity they’ll vote for more of the same again.

Reduced social protection, worker rights, food standards. The privatisation of the health service. It’s all there and a full own US economy is headed out way.

And we voted for it in 2014 and may well do do again in 2019.

Every vote needs to be SNP.

So, now we have folk in England, at last, realising just what a pathetic lying Westminster serving bunch of paid liars run and work for the propagandist BBC.

The BBC have been lopenly lying to and wilfully misleading Scots since the day it was founded, and most blatantly so, since the rise in a desire for an end to English colonial rule of Scotland.

johnson, the lying Tory evil Prime Minister, will today, instead of having a rigorous tough full interview by Andrew Neil, get a cosy wee chat with establishment serf, Andrew Marr. The BBC, ‘nation shall speak propaganda unto nation’.

In other matters, can I urge everyone to support this EXCELLENT pro indy candidate in Fife.

More evidence we don’t want Americans anywhere near our health service.

link to archive.is

I think maybe Andrew Marr borrowed Andrew Neil’s crib sheet of questions to ask De Piffle. Unfortunately, De Piffle simply refuses to answer a question until about the fifth or sixth time it is answered – simply chuntering-on until the interviewer gives up in disgust.

If the English elect this charlatan, they deserve what is coming to them.

We, at least, can be rid of him, by voting SNP and getting Independence Done – to coin a phrase.

I wonder what the voters of Uxbridge are thinking now.

Open question to Joanna Cherry, or anybody with the legal knowledge and capacity to do it…

Can the BBC’s favouritism and complicity to subject the UK and Scottish population to flagrant propaganda from a proven liar and hypocrite, a man who has issued an open threat to review Channel 4’s right to broadcast after exposing to the nation’s the PM’s cowardice to face scrutiny, – and compile a credible case and argument that Westminster is wilfully and corruptly abusing it’s responsibility to govern Broadcasting, in open collusion with a Broadcasting network which is complicit in the fraud, and thus, Scotland can legitimately, with all due cause, set about preparing legislation to resume authority and control over Scottish Broadcasting?

… That Scotland should reclaim authority over Broadcasting, not as power of Westminster devolved to Scotland, but as a “vanilla” sovereign entitlement of a nation state, where sovereign authority rests in perpetuity, and before any such power is lent to Westminster for them to devolve back to Scotland.

Westminster has abused control over Broadcasting, and is unfit to retain that control. The BBC is fully complicit with the abuse, and is neither fit not trustworthy enough to be Broadcasting to the UK. We must bring this fraud to an end.

If Scotland has the Constitutional right to declare all of Scottish Governance Independent, then that same Constitutional right can claw back power piecemeal, – one chapter at a time.

I repeat also… If Westminster can groom it’s puppet Government in waiting in the Scottish Office, then Scotland’s own Government should create a Scottish Constitutional Office to scrutinise, vet and advise on every aspect of Westminster malpractice which contravenes the letter or spirit of the Union.

Neale Hanvey crowdfunder has met its target but contributions still flowing in.

Keep ’em coming.

Shrodingers Cat @ 3.10
I think that’s something we need to look out for.
The Scottish Westminster MPs won’t leave immediately on a Yes vote.
So, I think, there will be a balancing act between negotiating Indy and Independence day itself,including another Holyrood election.
This could play in our favour as Corbin would be in no position to try and back some sort of reunification campaign.
We could take our time to have a managed exit….But obviously other factors like the EU ect would come into play!
A Johnston administration would likely be more chaotic!
So on balance probably a Corbin win would be best for us…

This Westminster election is about Scotland or Unionism….you can no longer reasonably have both.
A radical choice indeed.
Whose blood on the carpet?

Breeks

Can Scotland unilaterally decide to have a parliament that can exercise Scottish sovereignty for Scotland in Scotland – even BEFORE the Union is dissolved?

(It’s not an argument for the Union, just legal argument).

Could Scotland choose to amend the terms of the Union ( such as insisting Scotland will no longer recognise the House of Lords and will send an equal number of MPs to the Commons as England does OR any legislation affecting Scotland must receive the consent of Holyrood to become law) and the other parties to the Union either go along with it or THEY dissolve the Union?

Do we already have a parliament that can exercise that Scottish sovereignty, if it chooses to exert that authority?

A parliament that can then choose to reserve broadcasting powers to Scotland for Scotland without GB Parliament’s consent or any other change such as suggested above.

Now we have a duplicitous anti Scottish Press and Media trying to paint the voting gap between Tory and Labour as closing in Fascist Jack-booting Brexit England. Of course the anti Scottish Press and Media is at it. It is what they have always done.

We cant afford to think about what is happening England or give the Brit State any kind of oxygen in Scotland. That is the kind of oxygen that will have a late revival in the Labour vote as that would be catastrophic. I see some folk are at it here.

There is no fuckin difference between Johnson and Corbyn for us Scots, they are twa faces of the same anti Scottish demon – get that into yer mushy brains.

I’ve followed Wings since around 2012. It was always the first blog I checked each day.
I’ve just realised that it has little interest for me these days.
What has happened?
Where are all the old regulars?

Meanwhile on the Andrew Marr show Boris aJohnson told one lie after another.

A drunk who turned up for the Cenotaph commemoration his performance this morning confirmed what a rotten stinking burgh the U.K. is.

But not as stinking for the families of the poor folks who lost a son and daughter to the barbaric terrorist freed from jail early because the CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT IN 2012 passed legislation to abandon indeterminate public protection sentences on those deemed a public risk.

Listening to Johnson lying through his toff tones barefacedly blaming Labour one could not help but think it’s a pity that he wasn’t the bastard shot dead on the pavement by police for being the animal he is..

Graeme @ 19:55,

That’s an interesting and original thought, and one which runs counter to the unspoken BritNat supposition that an independent Scotland would inevitably become some kind of SNP dictatorship. Personally I’m inclined to think that the achievement of independence will indeed present a new challenge to the “broad church” that is the SNP, and maybe that’s just as it should be. Its social democratic core however is very much in tune with the needs and aspirations of many, so something worthwhile will undoubtedly persist after the initial euphoria of success has passed (as it inevitably will).

It will be refreshing then to finally get back to normal politics where people and policies can be judged strictly on their merits, and where the ones who have the final say are us and no-one else.

Now, whatever is there to fear about that…?

Ian Foulds @ 2.32
This isn’t a Scotland specific issue.
Most Western Democracies are being tuned into it in some form or another.
There seems to be big money behind it and it looks like some form of social engineering… To what ends,I haven’t a clue!
But there’s more going on here than concern for a group of people…… When have Government’s ever really cared about that ?
Although I can see that the British State would make good use of it to do damage in Scotland to the drive for Indy,it’s not the sole aim here.

Fortunately most who are aware of the potential effects of the GRA in it’s current form are Indy/SNP and will,it seems,for now, tread a fine line till after the Yes vote is in
Paradoxically, only bringing the Scottish Government within slapping distance by ending the Union will ensure that any “Acts” that the Scots don’t approve of can be stopped, or reversed,or adjusted.
Holyrood must do it our way or we’ll vote in people who will,it’s really that simple and that elegant!!!
So the reality is,the best protection for Women, Girls and the validity of science in this Country is Independence.
So let the 77th push it all they want because it only highlights that we need Independence for one reason more 🙂

Just back after a few days away, just tried to donate to Mr Hanveys crowd funder, no joy, its great he has reached his target, but more pennies would help him, anyone on here steer me in the right direction.
Had 2 days of “live” telly , oh how I miss the BBC/TV !!, a wee message to any trolls, Tell Donalda she could save a fortune in Licence payers dosh by simply having, ” Good morning/Evening this is Reporting Shortbread”, here is the news “Scotland is Shite”.
Man, the TV has really sunk to depths unknown to the human race.
STV = same mince with a different backdrop.
Some good news, I spoke to plenty of people of all ages who no longer pay the TV licence.
The message to Empire shortbread, “you have lost it, because we no longer buy the bullshit”.

@ Colin Alexander 3:58

It is a truly powerful speech from Craig Murray, but also from John Pilger and should be viewed by as many as possible. We truly are living in a “Rogue State” and well on the way to full blown fascism in this tory led state, which is really quite horrific.
As far as Hanvey is concerned I as an SNP member am willing to forgive his ignorance, which I believe it was, and say, Vote For Hanvey. Our future is on the line.

All previous funds raised have been claimed by the party to cover earlier campaign costs.

Replying to TATU3
The myth of the confidentiality.
When you go to the polling booth they cross check your name to your numbered ballot paper. After all general elections the ballot papers are then sorted into party order.
It’s been going on since I used to check them in the 1970s and long before that. That’s how they they track the so called extremists. SIMPLES

Ian Foulds at 222pm,

Yes. Probably. It’s what they are literally paid to do by the English colonial government in London.

Graeme @ 6:12,

You’re very welcome. You speak more-or-less for all of us, because to some extent or another we’re all having to quell our concerns in order to get this Big Thing done. And in return our concerns are being stimulated because everything that’s happening within the SNP can happen precisely because it’s all protected by that wide umbrella. This is the fundamental concern that underlies breeks posting at 15:48, I think, and also the recent candidate sensitivities. No-one wants to rock the boat at this ultra-critical time (and mostly with good reason).

It’s going to be a much healthier situation all round to get this independence thing sorted and behind us. Roll on the day!

Perfectly normal levels of coverage during a general election campaign.

INDEPENDENT is talking nonsense about what happens to ballot papers after the election.

Could it happen that they could be cross referenced, yes but it would need to be done by a large tea and could never be kept secret.

If I’m wrong, where is the evidence.

It’s like the conspiracy theory against postal voting. It doesn’t exist.

He’s the FibDems’ answer to Labour’s pet Nostradimmus, John McTernan. (Every hard-pressed party on its uppers needs one.) With almost as many miscalls, only more obscure. Deservedly so. Which is perhaps a mercy for the rest of us.

Notice BBC Scotlandshire have stopped giving out Scottish football results on their version of Scottish news off a Sunday evening.

Just seen Carlaw go into his pocket and put something into a box,it was not paper so maybe a small coin,cheap skate.

As the people in England have been finally getting to know and warm right up to Scotland’s FM Nicola Sturgeon and spotted the difference between our leader and theirs and realising the difference is quite stark the Yoons in Scotland are hating her even more

I agree Robert but right now it just feels like we’re 2-1 up with 3 minutes to play, how many times have we blew that

There’s not a nation in the world can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the Scots and that’s what worries me, we don’t need any help from the 5th columnists

Very taken with the new verb “to testiculate” as an explanation as to what Boris does with his mouth and hands when he speaks. Pure bollocks!

Robert Kerr @ 19:10,

This is just silly. It would take a legion of “sympathetic returns officers”, all happily breaking the law, to have any serious impact of the kind you presume. Of course, all political parties acquire knowledge of voter preferences, which they glean in a very simple and direct way by canvassing (duh), which is why they traditionally do so, and yes, they get access to a (bare) list of voters in an area to assist them to do it, which is just as it should be. How they then choose to “colour that in” comes from asking/assessing people. Then, sure, expending more effort on the waverers.

There’s enough wrong with politics without getting distracted by wild fantasies over process.
