Wings Over Scotland

Love the mug, and ‘Dundependin’. Hah!

My wife’s cat loves dreamies and that’s not a euphemism.

Top hat and cane ?

Might be a sign of a split personality, but while the furore about taking the knee or not reminds me that sport is better without the politics, in spite of knowing that, I still have a wee hankering to see a Scotland Team, be it football, rugby, ice hockey or tiddlywinks, just doing something symbolic to register their support for Scottish Independence.

(Be nice to see them winning too, but not winning can be just as powerful and emotive if you’ve acquitted yourselves with honour and tenacity.)

Be resolute about your Nation’s future as an Independent Country… get a row of FIFA, even a ban. – It’s ok with me. Provoke the hysterical wrath of the BBC and wider propagandists. Just make sure you get right under their skin, but without spoiling or overshadowing the festival of sport for others.

Show some fighting spirit that fortifies the resolve and determination of our Scottish Nation to once again stand full square and rightfully where it belongs as an equal among Nations. Don’t be content to exist forever as ‘also rans’.

Is it a split personality to believe the curtailment of Scotland’s Nation status should never be far from people’s minds wherever and whenever Scotland is on show? What is the point of an International Tournament if not to mark this injustice with protest?

Go out there and be giants Scotland. Enjoy yourselves. Hopefully your nation will do the rest.

Great cartoon.

Kapelmeister – brilliant.

Rev Stu : In light of the decision for Maya Forstater. Proving that anyone who tells the truth regarding genderwoowoo should not be denied services ( among other things). Are you going to sue twitter for £10 million ?

Happy to crowdfund as those b@stards thoroughly deserve it.

P.S. Anyone else feel sturgeon is losing it ?

@Breeks

Is that not the point though, they kneel for the national anthem and just after that bit about rising to be a nation again they stand to run rings around the English who’ll hopefully still be in some confusion as to why they just sang God save the Queen whilst kneeling before the American flag.

Wearing a suffragette ribbon would get the Scottish team a lot of international press coverage & lots of new fans.

If they had the balls to do that “I would boogie, boogie woogie all night long”

Love it Chris, fantastic detail.

I’m wondering if there is anyone making pro woman/suffragette merch, wristbands ribbons etc?

Reply

That might be something for an enterprising person to think about.

It would be easy enough to make your own wristband.

Tie a bit of white, green & purple string around your wrist.

White & green string readily available. Not sure about the purple but you could stick a bit of the white string in a jar of beetroot & hey presto you have purple string.

If you wanted to be fancy you could pleat your string.
See Friendship bracelets tutorials on You Tube.

Nice one Chris.

I see the Goebbelesque British propaganda show GB news goes live tomorrow, Andrew Neil is the anchor (with a W) he’s the Scot whose being selling out Scotland for decades.

Another presenter on the Union Jack decal laden show is pretendy historian, and Scot Neil Oliver, Oliver called Scottish independence a cancer. Oliver has of late declared that lockdown was the biggest mistake in world history, I’m sure there’s millions of folk who’ve lost family members will disagree with that.

Love it Chris.

Is that suffragette colours I see in Hamish’s bunnet?

Whorattledyourcage – and some of your friends are black.

I don’t know what I like the most, the fact Hamish has a toy Hamish or the scarily accurate packet of chicken Dreamies! Love it.

OT: Let’s hope this is just the start

Hamish waits eagerly… but word on the street is she her might pull the Scottish team from the tournament due to the minority interests of a vegan pressure group.
Vegan Power in Scotland has been boosted recently what with the new Hate Crime Act.
Vegan Power have teamed up with Woke Whingers Incorporated and together they assert that the spectacle and symbolism of European adult men kicking a leather ball on a grass field is a horrific reminder and the hateful visual expression of the violence and oppression that dominant humans on this continent have historically meated meted out on fluffy animals.

“Why take the knee? Why kneel before anybody? There is a subservient feel to that (as usual) American-imported gesture”

Correct! Another gimmick! Masking Scotland’s real problem, anti-Catholic sectarianism. Racism might exist in Scotland but not to the point anti-Catholic bigotry is. Mind you, more often than not those spouting the anti-Catholic tripe are very much the same folk spouting racism. And not just anti-Irish racism but towards anyone who isn’t white. But hey, it’s “TRADISHUN”.

BTW, another good one Chris, thanks!

“I think Julian Assange should have returned to Sweden to face his accusers. And I wish Craig had done a journalism law course. It’s a prerequisite for any rookie journalist leaning their craft.”

Above is a comment from the Westminster’s SNP MP useful idiot John Nicolson.

link to twitter.com

Both journalists (Murray and Assange) have suffered terrible persecution and injustice for reporting the truth, one of them (Assange) is now being held in England’s top security prison without charge Belmarsh, whilst the other (Murray) faces prison for a crime that the state said he did (In my opinion and many many others also believe he didn’t commit any crime) whilst unionist hacks who not only jigsaw identified so called complainers, but actually named them are not held accountable and are still at liberty.

As a Scot I have always felt a close affinity to the African-American struggle for equal rights and I will always support that struggle in whatever way I can.

However, to me, there is something wrong with “taking the knee”. The gesture imitates the posture of the racist policeman who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his throat. I understand there is a chronological time difference but given what transpired I don’t understand how imitating an overtly racist act can be taken as a protest against racism.

Along with many others I extend my best wishes to the Scottish football team. They are representing their country and I hope they do us all proud. If only they can show the fighting spirit so lacking in our politicians!

So Boris Johnson is pushing ahead with increasing Perfidious Albion’s nuclear weapons cache to 260. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said of the increase, “The UK decision was contrary to its obligations under Article VI of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)” — in other words, it is illegal under international law.

CND also found that Perfidious Albion is in breach of the NPT.

Of course these vile weapons of mass destruction that Scots are forced to pay their share of even though they don’t want them, will not be housed in some far off distant land, nor will they be housed in England, no they’ll be kept in Scotland, roughly just thirty miles from our largest city, and they’ll be shuttled there on the backs of HGVs that travel through our cities at any time of day.

Who do I blame for this disgraceful situation, well not Westminster we know what to expect from that den of iniquity, no I blame Sturgeon and her government/party for keeping us tied to this union for her and her party’s benefit.

Governments allowing the use of harsh bigotry for tools of difference to break down society actually is psychological warfare on the public, wether it is ,
black/ white,
trans/women,
football with / associated religion.
Men/ women,
police/ public,
taking the knee/ or not doing so,
hate speech/ freedom of speech,
English/ Scots.
climate /change/ everyday living,
Big banks, corporations/ austerity.
Covid lockdowns/ personal freedom etc etc .
The voices for or against any of the above and many other issues that are still to come forward is intended to invoke fear within people, to be scared in case they make a wrong move in a perceived new ideological new society where the rule of law that you one were accustomed too has been deliberately abandoned to leave confusion, divide , fear of repercussions,
Although the sovereignty of the individual is recognised on paper, and in the human rights laws, our governments, courts and media around the world appear to be experimenting with methods of mass control of the populations in all countries,
Wether the subduecation of people, methods parallels North Korea, China, old Soviet Union, or Germany’s world war 2 ideologies it is being played out without any apparent obvious war, between leaders of countries,
There seems to be a great pretence nowadays of world leaders on the edge of war. But the war for the people and their rights as citizens and has been playing out for ages,
the equivalent equality of citizens free speech and freedom in their own countries is being eroded faster by our own goverment ideological laws against our own people.
For a very easy example of what can we see, is that in Scotland football/religion is used along side the covid rules and regulations to instigate rivalry with each other from our own devolved government aimed at civilians to antagonise disrupt the population.
Psychological warfare is not as obvious as physical warfare,
The only weapon needed is embedded predjudices and beliefs of the people for a government to own and steal the people’s sovereignty,
Their are some believes such as our right as humans to retain our sovereignty against our governments, whom within the rule of law are supposed to work for us,
However in other instances we must recognise such as football, hate speech, climate change, and covid regulations etc that the rulers of our countries set us up to fail, and fall out with each other, while they themselves stay out of and above the new rules.
Again we can see a second example of different rules and equality with covid, and climate change rules, while we are in lockdowns with restrictions on movement and meeting family and friends,The upper echelons use big jets, limousines and helicopters to get to G7 meetings on climate change that could have taken place via video, Skype etc,
The best way to win a war is to starve a people into submission ( food banks) and loss of employment, ?
The second best way is to weaken the opposition from the inside by causing a fraction within the ranks, the leaders, ie, the SNP and Alex Salmond,.
Whatever method is used by world leaders it is always the civilians in a country like Scotland that loose.
We need to bury minor differences and beliefs here to survive our very own government and other governances from a more global perspective, at some point in the near future the populations will have to oust out bad leaders with a coup of their own, or become entrenched slaves living in permanent fear.

And at 10.50am we have Alec Lomax the well known Sturgeon sycophant and PayPal Paul afficionado first to cross the line with the racist accusation against WRYC because he disagrees with the ineffectual ‘taking the knee” well done Alec nicla will be ever so proud , but don’t you ever mention independence Alec or nicla will block you

C’mon Scotland players is there ANYONE brave enough to wear suffragette ribbons to support our womenfolk and mightily piss off Sturgeon and her cabal

While Scots MPs, such as Stewart McDonald, Alyn Smith, and of course who could forget John Nicolson doing Westminster’s dirty work for them by constantly putting Russia down on the international stage, and domestically calling for the rooting out of Russian “Dirty” money, all isn’t quite what it seems.

For Russian oligarch money can’t quite compete with Perfidious Albion’s investments from Middle East despotic regimes such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, the known estimate, is over £140 billion pounds, the unknown amount is likely to be far greater.

These despotic regimes, have no free press or opposition political parties, and dissidents are either executed (some in public) or they are disappeared by the states security services.

Some of these despotic regimes in which Perfidious Albion is quite willing to take billions from in investments, are active in the war against the people of Yemen, the UAE even runs a network of torture chambers in Yemen, Qatar sponsors terror groups in Libya and Syria aimed at its citizens, in order to, in Syria’s case bring down Assad, in Libya’s case to keep it a failed state.

Perfidious Albion, not only sells billions of pounds of armourments to these tyrannical regimes, it also protects them from criticism. Perfidious Albion even used its position within the UN, to support Saudi Arabia’s attempt (successful) to have a seat on The Human Rights Council.

Lochside @3.17pm.

Thanks for reminding me about that tragic event, as British General (Wolfe) said at the Battle of Quebec in 1759, “It was ‘no great mischief if they fall” referring to Scottish Highlander soldiers.

Of course General Haig, cost the lives of thousands of Scots at the Battle of the Somme in 1916, it was said that Haig was willing to sacrifice as many troops as it takes.

Scots have been dying in English wars for centuries, WWI was in essence a war of vanity between Queen Victoria’s relations.

Well done it was never easy to stick to the basic principle of integrity in the Engineering field but my peer group gave me a lot of support in similar circumstances. I am buoyant about Engineering going forward despite the geo political environment we face in Scotland. Good luck in Africa.

@Tannadice Boy – yes, agreed; I asked the American Society of Civil Engineers about this and they answered it instantly and our Engineering Institution is doing the same.

Have a look at George’s site in a day or so and you will see the full submission. As I understand it, the Scottish Government have a week to respond, then it goes to a Professional Conduct Panel.

@Captain Yossarian 7:13pm
I look forward to the conclusion. It’s so interesting to me. In answer to your post from someway back. I had heard and understood about artesian layers. I went to a state school where you couldn’t do 3 sciences. So I did Higher Chemistry and Physics. And Higher Geography as a substitute, learnt about artesian layers then. Pre Engineering education. Back in the very early seventies. All education is worth something.

Staying on the Russian obsession (In a bad way) by Perfidious Albion and its hatred of its president Vladimir Putin, it may come as a surprise to some but Perfidious Albion under the tenure of Tony Blair helped Putin get elected in 2000.

Blair flew out to St Petersburg to meet with him and endorse him as the next Russian president, MI6 even helped arrange for both men to go out to the Opera. Perfidious Albion had several objectives to endorsing Putin, even though Russia was in the middle of brutally suppressing the Chechen people.

One was to try and open Russia up more to the West, the other was to secure BP oil interests in the country via a company called Sidanco which was in financial trouble. Sidanco was saved and BP oil increased its shares in the company.

BP oil is closely linked to MI6, as is the FCO. Former head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, joined the company’s board the year after he left the intelligence agency and was foreign policy adviser to Blair at the time of the Putin meeting.

So the Dear Leader King Bozo of Dogging land has delayed ” Freedom day” until 19 July. I wonder if the little Reichs pfennigs will ever drop on the public.

I know it’s not a big thing up here but NZ are about to completely stuff England in test cricket. Plucky Islands of 5million souls are the best test team in the world.

I so want that for this other country of 5 million souls. Imagine what we could do as an independent nation.

Yip J.o.e, and , as RoS has pointed out . we see the dumplings in NSNP right in there , uncritically acquiescing to the Russia/China aka The Bad Guys narrative

What are the chances of these dullards delivering Independence when they’re incapable of a solitary independent thought ?

Not that the power structures in those two countries are any less corrupt than our own , or the West generally .

Globally it’s pretty much the same story , different language ie an elite dictating – one way or another , financially or through strict adherence to a particular ideology – or both , how people should behave , the degree of freedom they’re permitted .

The Scandinavians seem to have done better than most at achieving a decent standard of living for their citizens , a generous , ungrudging welfare system and tolerance of religious/personal freedoms . Though even these things are being put under strain by the opening of borders to people from vastly different cultures .

@Robert Hughes

You mentioned the word elite so for shits and giggles and pure indulgence in conspiracy im going to point some things out that are amusing.

If you take the word elite and split it as el-ite it then resembles other words with ‘ite’ such as luddite or hittite. The ‘ite’ denoting them as a people or group.

But what is the ‘el’ part?

link to en.wikipedia.org

According to wikipedia ‘El’ is a generic term for god. Some quotes:

‘Specific deities known as ?El or ?Il include the supreme god of the ancient Canaanite religion[3] and the supreme god of East Semitic speakers in Mesopotamia’s Early Dynastic Period’

‘”El” (Father of Heaven / Saturn) and his major son: “Hadad” (Father of Earth / Jupiter), are symbolized both by the bull, and both wear bull horns on their headdresses’

From Britannica:

‘El is commonly used as a synonym for Yahweh and less commonly as the general term for “deity.”

From Hebrew4christians:

‘Appears in construct relation when describing the god of Israel’

The reference to Saturn is interesting and comes from the Canaanites of the Levant where modern day Israel is.

Saturn is the 6th planet in the solar system and satur(n)day is the 6th day of the week.

A few years ago Nasa sent a probe to explore Saturns poles. Here is what was found (no lies here, look this up yourself):

link to nasa.gov

So the 6th planet has a hexagon, a 6 sided shape, over its north pole.

So are the original Elites actually Saturnites from the Levant? With 6 apparently an important number.

What religious and national symbols have something with 6 in them and a hexagon in the middle?

What is Saturn worship associated with? What is the star of Remphan?

Where can you find a big golden bull statue?

Interesting stuff if you are bored.

I am ignoring ‘Government’ advice. Who is with me?

For folk who take a Gary45% view of what’s happening now…

Please have a swatch at this.

It’s presented for a German-speaking audience, so it’s not all watchable for must of us. But it’s over three hours long. (Quite a lot of passages in English if you want to pause to check.)

The point is…does this look like a group of tinfoil-hat wearing malcontents?

Are they all just having a laugh?

I wonder if the Scotland fans watching the Scotland team taking to the pitch will all at home join and bend the knee in tribute to a sycophantic display of empty gesture politics.

Me I’d much rather our team stood proud, stood tall. On one’s knees to me was never a good signal of anything – and in fact that’s what folk do when they get knighted by the Queen.

On your knees as an expression of being down and neatly out also comes to mind. Sad to say, bending to political influence to join England in implementing this particular gesture is not a good sign.

Start on your knees, finish on your knees.

I was reminded of an incident involving Joe Beltrami earlier in the week:

It was the morning after Celtic’s European Cup win in Lisbon and folk were gathered in Jock Stein’s hotel room waiting for the bus to take them to the airport.

Journalists were there and Joe Beltrami, who was a pal of Jock Stein’s was waiting at the back of the room.

There was a knock at the door and two policemen walked in with an official. They had the European Cup with them. Jock signed for it and they left it behind and walked back out.

Jock wanted to get his hands on the European Cup again and be photographed with it. There were plenty of journalists to do that, but they couldn’t get into the European Cup. It was inside a wooden box with was tied-up tightly with string. Everyone tried but they couldn’t undo the knots.

There was a shout from the back of the room: ‘Stand aside gentlemen’ and Joe Beltrami stepped forward, opened his overcoat and pulled-out a knife of the same type that was used at the time by Glasgow’s gangland knifemen. He cut through the string in a second and then stepped back again to the back of the room.

It always struck me as incredible that Joe Beltrami would do that in front of a room-full of journalists and no-one would report it, but it goes to show there was some honour among them all at that time.

Things in Scotland have changed beyond all recognition since those days and we couldn’t imagine a Scottish lawyer doing that now. However, were we all not a lot better off with Jock Stein and Beltrami than we are now?….with these low-grade folk we have at Holyrood telling us how to live our lives, whilst they do nothing at-all?

For the love of god…

How the fk can enlightened governments do nothing to reign in these psychotic tyrants?

Sooner or later, there will be a retribution for this. It is human nature, and there won’t be much mercy when it comes. It becomes more and more inevitable the more bestial you behave towards other people.

I thank the Lord that I don’t have sons or daughters growing up in Israel and having their mortal souls consumed and distorted by being part of this corrosive, destructive, mental inferiority complex.

Shame on you UK, you started this, and even greater shame on USA for bankrolling and arming these monsters. For Israel itself, maybe you shouldn’t have a country at all until you have grown up and know how to live in one without being such cruel and sadistic wankers.

The only reason in the world I would ever buy Israeli produce is to take it home, let it rot, then throw it in your nation’s face.

Does that sound anti Semitic? Well do tell geniuses, what the fuck else did you expect as a consequence of this inhumanity? A medal for your collective fking bravery grinding someone else’s children into dust?

‘it makes sense for people to move out of the big cities and into less populated areas with fewer restrictions. Of course that means, large parts of Scotland will see an influx and house prices rising which will result in locals being pushed out of the market.’

Eh?

Like that hasn’t already happened…

Past occurrences have been ones who have retired or those who have been lucky by selling their ex council houses for obscene profits and able to start a new career in their chosen location.

Due to working from home, anybody regardless of their income and move to any location they chose to. Nobody of working age now who moves to another location requires to gain local employment to support themselves.

That means the number of people who can do this has dramatically increased from the few to the many.

“Think Epstein and Gislaine Maxwell. Theirs was a Mossad operation that blackmailed Western politicians. It probably wasnt the only one.”

You think ? Any actual real evidence instead of the invented crap floating about inside your own head ?

“In more modern times look up the USS Liberty as a couple of examples.”

More utter bullshit , how many conspiracy theory websites do you subscribe to ? link to historynewsnetwork.org

For those who are talking about conspiracy theories about the pandemic, have you considered that this could be some form of elaborate double-cross method to reinforce the need for restrictions?

Think about it, these conspiracy theories are thrown about, people get caught up in it then media commentators debunk them and show people how stupid you are if you are to believe them.

For me, the issue is with the political handling of the pandemic.

It is beyond noticeable that scientific experts taken on advisory roles for politicians are fore front in the media campaign against the virus. It is in the name, they are advising the government, not dictating policy. Policy is the job of the politicians.

Of course it is very convenient for these politicians. If everything goes all right, they take the credit. If it fails, they say they were acting on medical advice.

Lets not kid ourselves, the pandemic isn’t over but it is the beginning of the end. We must however keep an eye on the politicians to ensure they didn’t milk it more than it should be or we will be endless lock downs based on ‘scientific evidence’.

Ultimately though, public opinion and economic reality will swing against these politicians and they will have to reverse policy. The question is when?

“This taking the knee nonsense is not a political statement, it is a corporate one.”

Nah its definitely a political statement.
link to msn.com

Regardless of its origins, taking the knee is now corporate virtue signalling in order to get the profits up and to abdicate responsibility.

Complete and utter shallowness and superficiality.

As Westminster and Buckingham Palace lay out their plans to keep sending Prince William and his wife Kate to Scotland to butter up Scots to the value of the union, and by default the royals themselves to Scotland, its interesting to note what the future king of the UK is Prince Charles has been up to.

Prince Charles since 2011 has had 95 meeting with despotic regimes in the Middle East, he has had a key role in promoting and securing over £14.5 pounds worth of arms to oppressive regimes in the region.

The British media, and indeed royals press spokespersons mostly focus on Prince Charles visits to these regimes as in a cultural visit, but in reality he’s a salesman, cementing UK arms deals along with bolstering these oppressive despotic countries reputations abroad.

The FCO also plays its part in helping to smooth the path to the UK’s multi-billion pounds armourments deals with Middle East tyrannies. During 2011, the year of the Arab Spring, Prince Charles met six of the Middle East’s eight monarchs, from Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He subsequently held numerous meetings with dynasties from Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Prince Charles routinely meets with military, intelligence and internal security figures abroad, which are paid for by the UK taxpayers.

This royal family doesn’t seem to mind that its doing its bit to protect and do business with these oppressive regimes, do Scots really want to keep this royal family after Scottish independence? I certainly hope not.

“There’s a new geopolitical problem arising though because China has committed an act of war against the USA and allies by…ummm…releasing a virus…ummm…in China. Apparently.”

j.o.e

Yes Joe that’s the officially narrative, the reality is that the US and its numero uno obedient puppet the UK wants to break China’s economy. The same goes for Russia’s economy even though the Russian economy isn’t that large, but the USA wans to stop Russia’s Nordstream II that will supply Russian gas to the EU.

A recent example of an attempt by the US to cast doubt on the EU buying Russian gas, was the sponsored US demos in Belarus against its president Alexander Lukashenko.

The US backed Roman Protasevich, described in the Western media as a dissident journalist wrongly arrested, is in fact an ex-member of the Neo Nazi far right Ukrainian Azov Battalion which opposes Russia, and by default the Russian aligned Belarus president Lukashenko.

The only new piece of info in the MOS article is

“We can reveal that the Weirs – who won £161 million in the Euromillions lottery – made a donation to a fund for a new independence referendum, but Mr Weir later complained to the party and demanded his money back, prior to his death in December 2019.”

I wonder if it’s the loan they are referring to

link to archive.is

link to archive.is

This missing funds story was covered in April Sean Clerkin complained to the police.

Since then there have been other articles basically saying police trying to decide what to do.

Perhaps “it would be good to be “pressurising” police over accusations of fraud.

I had a horrid thought . The queen conferring on William and Kate the titles of prince and princess of Scotland.

Might that cause a wee problem for Scots ? Might they sit up and listen?

Dorothy Devine.

The Queen can bestow whatever ludicrous title she wants on her royal offspring, Prince William is already known as the Earl of Strathearn in Scotland, and his wife is the Countess of Strathearn in Scotland. Prince William is know as the Baron of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.

The royals used different titles whilst in different parts of the UK.

With regards the timing of the MOS – Indyref2 Money scandal – being published now.

I think it is about managing bad news… by putting it out now, at the start of the Euro’s….

Very few will notice, and even fewer will care, so the story will never catch fire and gain momentum, specially if Scotland loses at the footie.

Quite brilliant if you think about it.

It’s not a scandal if the manner in which it drip feeds into the public conscienciousness provokes nothing but yawns and shrugs of the shoulders.

I just wanted to say that I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than accept any kind of health passport, especially under these circumstances.

If this is how we go I will be happy for the willfully ignorant weaklings who couldn’t stop to actually think for 2 minutes. You deserve it. All of it.

Sorry,off to Al Jazeera. Ews without bias.

Robert Graham..agree with you about the NHS. The idea that you have to wear a badge acknowledging yours or someone else’ sexual preferences at your workplace would have, not so long ago been laughed at. And to be ‘monitored’ if you don’t oblige! What about those with religious and/or moral misgivings to certain behaviours? Toleration is acceptable is it not? Or is it going to be compulsory next? Not so now. Imagine the reverse?..’Straight Pride’?
How absurd can it get? Don’t answer.

Also, why should Scotland ‘bend the knee’ for the England game. If that isn’t a psychological faux pas, at the very least, I don’t know what is? Start the game on yer knees and end up on yer face by the end of it. George Floyd was a victim of a horrific, murderous police assault, but it happened in the US, As Breeks mentions earlier about the Israeli human rights abuses in Palestine, are they not a hundred times worse? Where does it stop? I’m afraid the LGBT NHS badge wearing falls into the same accursed woke virtue signalling witchcraft that is being ‘woven’ into our increasingly enfeebled culture.

Vid link is on the following page. It’s 3.5hours though so will use a fair bit of data for those not on unlimited.
The meeting covers several subjects so there’s potential to skip to part relating to ferries.

I agree with others. Scotland should stand united against racism.

“Mr Jack said: “We can still move sausages from Kent into France and vice-versa – we can move those products across the short straight – so why can’t we move them across the Irish Sea?”

I need help with all this stuff.

Am I correct in thinking that sausages can be moved from Kent to anywhere in the world but they do require to go through lots of customs checks & in France
“Some 230 veterinary staff will vet animal products, animal feedstuffs and plants in the ports of Calais, Dunkirk and Boulogne-sur-Mer.”

Is the problem regarding moving sausages from the UK to N.Ireland that there are no checks and no vetinary staff to vet the products & no customs checks between the EU & N.Ireland.

The man who closed his eye to the crime that was Iraq, is accusing others of “unforgivable moral failure”!

As far as I’m concerned, if he were to crawl away and quietly expire, it would be kinder all round.

An arrogant man, with an overwhelming sense of importance that’s born from believing his own hype.
Destined for ignominy.

Can anyone remind me how many people voted for Devi Sridhar to rule over us at the last election?

“I think hate is a strong word. She is incompetent. No real understanding of the world around her. No bairns, no grandchildren a very limited life experience. She has set the Indy cause back 20 years. She entered politics to stop Thatcher. I think she supercedes Thatcher. A wrong un as I said when I left the SNP.”

The early warnings were there , apart from supporting a fraudster she was wholly responsible for the pure fantasy White Paper. She simply isn’t a thinker but just a liar.

Just wanted to pop on here to say that, yup, so far everybody on here who predicted that NS would do the square root of fuck all to advance an indyref2 was right. Has it even been mentioned once since the election? Didn’t think so.

I would say “surely people won’t fall for it again” but maybe they will.

You know there won’t be an indyref2 in the next five years, so do I, so do the dogs in the street.

Indeed, and those are just his Scottish ones.

We could bestow another upon him, in the spirit of generosity…

Hi Dave Somerville at 12:55 am.

Are you alluding to some sort of “Tipping Point”?

Just listening to a Naomi Wolf interview on link to corona-ausschuss.de

1 point I disagree with. She says that the rule of law is the last defense against the vast amount of corruption we are seeing and that we are lost if that has become too corrupted.

She would do well to remember that there is a reason we ‘right wing nut jobs’ believe in the right of citizens to be armed.

How many people are there who used to make fun of those dumb right wing gun toting hillbillies are now looking at the current situation and reassessing?

…we are lost if that has become too corrupted.

Aye, but…

I don’t disagree in any way, but while I know it’s fiction, Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, also to my mind reveals an awkward tension there has always been between the Law of Scotland, the Lord Advocate, and the Union.

I think it’s over kind to say Scots Law and Scottish Lawyers routinely dance their way around colonial impositions unconstitutionally forced upon them. They don’t. Most wouldn’t lift their snout out of the trough long enough to stand up for Scotland, nevermind putting their career at risk by being “controversial”. That’s why we’re now saddled with a UK “Supreme” Court. It serves as one example of how “accommodating” Scotland’s independent Legal fraternity can be.

But yet, in amongst that tide of cynical criticism, you also have the likes of Joanna Cherry QC, both smart enough to know her way around Scots Law and Constitution, and brave enough to give the UK Prime Minister and British Establishment no less, a proverbial bloody nose. – Twice.

Don’t forget too, “somebody” is encouraging Wolffe to clear out his desk… But who knows whether that’s though disapproval from his Scottish peers, or merely Establishment Unionists recognising he is compromised and they need a fresh patsy. (I think we know who has her eye on that job..).

It’s the same old affliction of a bipolar Scotland. We have the best of the best in Joanna Cherry, but outnumbered and at permanent disadvantage by the worst of the worst, like Sturgeon and Wolffe, arguably supported by the Establishment and in command of a vice like grip locking down the top jobs and ruling councils. The head of the snake is never at Scotland’s command, even it would seem, with an SNP “pro-independence” government.

I truly believe Scots Law proper would flourish as strongly as any Scottish Institution post Independence, freed of all Unionist constraints, sell-outs and encroachment. It is after all, one of the very few pillars of our auld society which retains something of it’s pre-Union structures and integrity, and is almost unique in enjoying a degree of actual protection from the Union.

I think there is a good and loyal Scottish baby in the bath water, somewhere, but it’s difficult to see sometimes in so much nasty and fowl smelling bath water…

I would like to see Scotland’s sovereign Constitution being used as a defibrillator to see if there is yet life in Scotland’s Legal fraternity…

” I wouldn’t watch GoB “news” if you tied me to a chair and taped my eyelids open.

The good thing about it is, it’s clear that Andrew Neil and Goldilocks Oliver might be a curse on us, but they clearly don’t have much marketing popularity or any resonance outside the shrinking world of BritNat Unionism. ”

Not one to gossip ( honest ) but ….

A friend of mine told me years ago and I have no reason to doubt her : Nawliver was filming * somewhere * on the West Coast , where my friend lives , she met the wee hair-flicker in a pub and ended-up * gettin aff * with him : lets say she was unimpressed by the encounter and remarked on the smallness of his * manhood * .

Now , we know ” size doesn’t matter ” ( said no woman ever ) and that it’s pretty crass to judge someone for what nature has bestowed on them ( or failed to ) but every time I have the misfortune to hear the wee nyaff spouting his Union arse-licking spiel I smile and think …..” hiy wee knob , yr overcompensating pal , fuck off n geez peace “

I’m going to get slapped around by Andy Ellis for saying this but “My God, Peter Bell is making some sense”

An idea that has been largely ignored probably because it does not really suit political parties who are not so keen in immediate extinction on independence.

Laying out all the reasons why the Union should end would neatly solve the “Kenny MacAskill” problem which is just a rewording of the “all SNP, all the time” that we currently have as the only option after independence. The more diversity we have in wanting an end to the Union the more likely it will happen.

Once COP26 is out of the way – nicla will move on to pastures UN new…

Angus the odius will take over and preside over a managed decline.

The current ‘it’s too soon, mustn’t rock the boat’ types will be even more frightened due to a turn down in the polls, which will occur due to the MSM finally allowing one scandal after another to get an airing… but not before nicla is out of the firing line. She will get her rewards for services rendered.

The loyal will cling to the ‘New’ SNP, in just the same way as the party members of Labour did – making it the joke of a party it now is.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice and keep on doing it – cause I’m too bloody stupid and lazy to bother my arse and stand up for myself.

Spoke to one of the Sheeple the other day – one who I had explained the ‘both votes SNP’ folly to before the HE election.

He’s very dissapointed, kind of gets the point now, if there’s no IndyRef2 before 2023/next GE – he won’t vote again. He’s certain this time.

Which achieves us absolutely fuck all.

Meanwhile he’s happy cause the Euro’s are on and he can watch the footie. Baaaa.

Stephen Paton and Peter Bell making sense?…FFS, give yourself a shake! Dave McEwan Hill made the same fatuous argument on here for years: no detail, just Independence. Meanwhile, most people want concrete answers on currency, Bank of last resort, land ownership etc. etc. you know grown up stuff that the SNP are incapable of articulating or actually doing.

“I’m partial to Kit Kats, but they’ve all melted, even if I try and take them by quickly rubbing them in my gums… its no good.

Don’t know what to do. Perhaps I should stop taking Kit Kats altogether, or find another vendor to supply my Kit Kats?”

Mhiari Black is the person best experienced to give that advice

Peter Bell can say any crap with confidence as he doesn’t understand how stupid and uninformed he is. Peter Bell is more interested in hearing his own voice like most blawbags.

Stephen Paton writes for the National does he not ? Nuff said.

So you agree with the far Right Wing Tartan Tory Andrew Wilson that Indy WOULD be very painful with 3-4 times as much Austerity as Tory Austerity but it would still be worth it ? You actually think Scots would vote for 3-4 times higher Austerity to get away from Tory Austerity ? link to notesonnationalism.substack.com

So Boris Johnson said at the G7 summit that, “The UK is indivisible”, and he added that “We will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the UK.”

The above statements make it pretty clear that the PM will never allow the Scottish colony to leave the UK.

Of course Johnson needn’t worry about the Scottish colony leaving this horrid union, for our very own colonial government doesn’t want independence either.

At least today’s football match will allow some to believe that Scotland is a country and not a colony.
