In The Eyes Of The Law 79

Posted on October 01, 2026 by

Our fundraiser to bring a judicial review of Police Scotland’s decision not to charge anyone with embezzlement in the case of the SNP’s missing £700,000 indyref fund is now live, and can be reached by clicking on this image, or here.

The target of £30,000 represents the cost of the initial application (with contingency for the other side’s costs should it fail).

A Thousand Islands In The Sea 262

Posted on September 16, 2026 by

We’re getting so much correspondence from Police Scotland at the moment that we’re starting to feel like their guiltily-neglected penpal.

This one, though, is slightly more involved than their usual two-paragraph brushoff.

Fear And Favour 79

Posted on September 15, 2026 by

This is what it looks like, if you’ve ever wondered.

It’s basically the police’s own version of a seven-hour “no comment” interview.

Like Responsible Citizens Do 148

Posted on September 14, 2026 by

Given the refusal of Police Scotland to meaningfully answer our questions, we’ve been left with no alternative but to report Nicola Sturgeon for the crime of reset.

We’re sure the matter will be handled with the exact same professional diligence and complete and fearless impartiality that it would be for any other accused person.

A Long Hard Think 180

Posted on September 11, 2026 by

More than three months ago now, we sent Police Scotland a Freedom Of Information request. A few minutes ago we finally received a response. Brace yourselves.

That is, um… interesting.

The Land Of Do-As-You-Please 308

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.

Anatomy Of A Grift 70

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.

(Click pic to enlarge.)

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

Posted on August 02, 2026 by

This email actually came in a couple of days ago, but we’ve been too dumbstruck to respond to it until now.

Because, like, wow.
