Wings Over Scotland

As a farmer it’s mad cow disease, reckon he got it from bojo..!

Watched the film Gallipoli last night, I know it’s a film hyped up as films are but based on historic fact, typical english arrogance put thousands to their death for what, how can some humans treat other humans like that nae good and nae right, Scotlands being treated like that just now we’re being lined up for slaughter, told what to do by someone who doesn’t stay in our country and someone we’ve never voted for and the Scottish Government just seem to go along with it, they must have a bit more fight than what they’ve been showing.

Excellent Cartoon yet again Chris. Faultless caricature, and it would still be funny as an original one liner gag…

Just had the first “those who menstruate” moment on RScotland news. An item on removing VAT from tampons was symbolic of removing a cost on “those who menstruate”. This read out by a “uterus haver” too!

Happy Those Who Menstruate Day everyone.

OTOH, 3 of Wokus Dei resigned from the SNP yesterday. Some shifting of the tectonic plates?

Looks like the angry gender activists who left the Labour party to join the SNP are leaving the SNP to join the Greens

Notice how folk with a cause never join the Tories or Lib Dems, they seek out parties who allow engagement, so whatever side of the argument you might be on at least it shows that the SNP labour and the Greens allow people to talk

He’s wearing a face mask so he can hold up Scottish democracy.

Scottish Tory branch office MP David Duguid, has been ordered to payback £777 pounds after using House of Commons stationary, and postage to send unsolicited party political leaflets to constituents in Banff and Buchan

Duguid (Do bad on this occasion) was censured by a Westminster watchdog for using taxpayers cash to send 1,000 envelopes first class.

I can mind the time when scottish secretaries were considered to be significant politicians whose views were listened to.
This wee sleekit bootlicker Alister Jack is so feckless and peripheral he’d be hard to spot on a specsavers eye test.
If the clown resigned would anybody notice?

Groups opposing gender law changes will, protest outside Holyrood today, it will be part of a International Woman’s Day event in and around Holyrood, bordering on hypocrisy the FM Nicola Sturgeon will speak at the event, (A non party occasion) to celebrate some things that the Scottish government has produced with regards to giving women equality such as reducing period poverty.

However the group Women for Scotland will accuse the Scottish government and other MSPs of ignoring womens concerns over the GRA that will severely impact on womens rights and services.

I hope that the message get through to Sturgeon and Co to halt this woke madness before its too late.

Arbroath abbey is to get a £300,000 upgrade in the run up to the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath.

With a bit of luck, Scotland the Nation will be getting a bit of an upgrade and Constitutional overhaul too… and not before time.

Just a wee reminder as to where the whitewash child sex scandal Lib/Dems stand on the GRA front, on th off chance that folk from North East Fife might think of voting for Swinson/Rennie next year.

“The Liberal Democrats received over £300,000 in just over a year from Ferring, a drug firm that manufactures puberty blockers for “transgender” children.
The Liberal Democrats received a £100,000 donation from the puberty blocker manufacturer in the last month, and another £234,000 earlier in July 2018.”

Jack’s criticism of the bridge proposal was that it would be closed a lot for weather, ignoring how well the baffles on the Queensferry Crossing have worked.

In terms of the tunnel he said we could have a bridge going into a tunnel coming up onto another bridge (like Öresund Bridge) somehow those bridges would be immune to being closed for weather.

Not to mention where’s the money for the transport links to the bridge abutments on this side?

One big reason for building such bridges is to put rail on them, except the Irish use a different rail gauge. There are workarounds, basically you lift the wagon bed and put it on a different set of wheels. You would have an incoming Scots gauge train in the middle, the Scots goods would go to one side onto Irish wheels while on the other side and outgoing Irish train would be put on the Scots wheels.

Or we do it on the Scots side with Irish trains crossing, but I predict they will duck the issue and not put rail on it.

In NZ there’s the Auckland harbour bridge, road only. There is no rail on the entire North Shore of Auckland city to this day. A distinct lack of vision.

IF we are going to build a tunnel to Ireland it will need to be rail only like the Chunnel. You put road vehicles onto the train for the crossing. This takes out road traffic accidents, which WILL happen from closing the tunnel. It will also make it harder for people smuggling across the border, something we will have to consider wrt the border with England, in both directions.

Each, knots not notes.

Willie Rennie is not a smart man but truthfully he’s a genius compared to Jo Swinson
I’ve had occasion to speak with Swinson several times over the years and she really is sooo veeery veeery sloooow unless there’s a camera around then she becomes all chirpy and hockey sticks

Her brain power has never gotten bigger but her ego has, the wummin pure loves hersel

Is this the beginning of the fight back to win the heart of the SNP from the ultra woke brigade?

I certainly hope so.

Considering a lot of us paid money a few years back into what was supposed to be a ring-faced fund for an independence referendum, I would sincerely hope they do have money in reserve.

Great cartoon, Chris. I suppose it goes to show you don’t even need to have a tunnel to keep digging.?

“Poor wee Willie Rennie! Valiantly holds the fort as assistant branch office manager, then when his boss loses her job at HQ, he’s the one that gets the heave to make way for her.”

Aye, but you know what these BritNat troughers are like – he’ll be destined to get fitted out for his ermine clown-suit with a view to joining Truth Davidson on the red benches. The British Establishment likes to take care of their own does it not?

Katie With washing your hands and self isolation where required the spread of coronavirus can be contained, without washing hands and self isolation where required its spread cannot be contained and far more people will get it. Percentage wise only about 1 to 2% of people under 50 at most will find it is fatal but if more people get it in raw terms more younger people will die of it

I see the current revelation from Andrew Wilson is we need to get behind Nicola Sturgeon because the truth will win us big time. Is this the ‘We will not be taken out of the EU against our will’ or ‘There will be a referendum in 2020 truth’?

“The fact that most kids being enticed into this treatment are already on the autism spectrum somewhere or have other mental health problems.”

Liz.

The really big problem will arise when those kids and young adults realise they’ve made a terrible mistake, and if unable to reverse the process, they’ll be very angry that they were allowed (duped)to do what they did at such a young age.

Meanwhile the breast binding, puberty blocking, hormone producing, companies, owned by the rich will have made a pretty penny from those young and easily influenced individuals.

No doubt the taxpayer will be left to foot any bill to try and sort it out.

jfngw Stats of death rate by age from Chinese Centre of Disease Control as reported by the BBC, from 0.2% for those under 20 to 15% for those over 80

“I was sea fishing a few days ago and whilst waiting on bites I was pondering that the massive amounts of plastic waste being washed up with the tides has been created in my lifetime.
To get some perspective on that, the tides have been coming in and out for approximately 3 billion years, but the last 50 years of recent human activity has created pretty much every bit of plastic you see on our shoreline.”

Indeed Dan plastic pollution is out of control, I don’t know if you know this Dan, but there’s a place in the Atlantic ocean called the North Atlantic Garbage Patch.

The patch is estimated to be hundreds of kilometers across in size, with a density of over 200,000 pieces of debris per square kilometer. Sadly there’s also the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is just as awful.

Add in that Henderson Island (Pitcairn Islands) is the most plastic polluted island in the world, and you can see that the human race has been reckless when it comes to the use of plastics.

We could of course heard the lot of them into Corona-virus quarantine centres and ply them with WHO approved experimental vaccines … that should thin them out a bit.

Your pensioner neighbour sounds a model citizen and well done your wife, at least we can say there is one civilised human being in your household

Mike D . Spot on regards the neighbour.
She too probably lies that the Tories aren’t privatising the nhs by stealth to stuff more public money in their pockets . Probably reckons sanctioning folks benefits or requiring people to work for poverty level wages is reducing unemployment numbers, which it is but still increasing poverty. They quote the former repeatedly but don’t give a shit about the latter . Despicable humans these Tory types

Whatever happens with the virus two things are sure. Pharma will seek and reap profit and nothing gets more publicity than shit that might negatively affect or upset the privileged . Note how people having their flying about delayed creates national (sic) outcry but increasing thousands of children living in poverty in the uk doesn’t bother MSM

Jfngw Italy has just quarantined 16 million people in Lombardy, including Venice and Milan, with 3 months jail for breach.

If absolutely necessary we could follow suit

HYUFD.

As you are a Tory councillor in Essex your presence here reminds me of the vultures in the savannah in central Africa circling round in the air to feast on the dead and dying. You must be getting hungry.

HYUFD is a Tory councillor! Forgot about that. Imagine being an elected official who relies on a voting system designed to deliver a representative voted by a minority of those who can be even arsed to vote! Also rely on fooling enough people with lies disguised.
For example . If all poverty/ minimum wage earners didn’t receive a pay rise in the last 10 years but those already on multiples of that receive an above inflation or any increase every year then I quite truthfully can and will tell people that “average” weekly earnings are UP .
If I were a duplicitous cunt that is .

I absolutely give Angus MacNeil and Chris McEleny the green light to force a Plan B onto the SNP agenda, and good luck to them, and yet at the same time, I feel utterly despondent that the SNP is just at the stage of “maybe” discussing a possible alternative political strategy, when I myself, find myself at the point of utter exasperation with the poverty of ambition running throughout Scottish politics.

Discuss Plan B? Well, yes, but you’re about 5 years off the pace.

Can we also discuss Impeachment of the Scottish Government for their active complicity with overruling the democratic will of the Scottish people, and the colonial subjugation of Scotland’s Constitutional Sovereignty? That’s where my head’s at… not a Plan B strategy, but a Plan B Government which at the very least believes in Scotland’s National Constitution and Sovereignty.

Scotland needs to step away from the Colonial Scotland Act, not just over Scotland’s democratic castration by Section 30, but the whole rotten convention of “devolved empowerment”, which doesn’t empower a Sovereign people to do anything at all. Instead it usurps our rightful authority, codifies our colonial subjugation and thereby denies Scotland the right of Constitutional defence, military defence (and thereby veto nuclear pollution by the MoD), and even curtails Scotland’s access to diligent Broadcasting of political debate and open discussion unfettered by BritNat propaganda and indoctrination. Devolution eh? Is that short for de-evolution by any chance?

It seems increasingly apparent that Holyrood is to rancid UK Government what BBC Scotland is to the rancid BBC… the bigger the shill you are for the Union, the more glittering and rewarding the career that awaits you. Well, maybe Scotland has finally seen enough.

Maybe Scotland’s next Independence Party isn’t going to contest seats in Holyrood because Holyrood is stripped and laid bare as the UK’s puppet assembly that is just a little too complicit and eager to be governed by colonial conventions imposed on Scotland from London.

Maybe Scotland’s next Independence Party will adopt Scotland’s National Constitution, the Declaration of Arbroath and the Popular Sovereignty of the Scottish people enshrined therein, as it’s governing constitution, and the chains of the “Union” will be gone by the years end, and the Nation of Scotland will be delivered from its Rip van Winkle purgatory.

Scotland’s subjugation over Brexit overruled a democratic mandate from our sovereign people. Fact. Westminster’s rule by sovereign convention requires sovereignty to be pooled by mutual consent. Fact. That convention was breached when both Westminster and Holyrood saw fit to overrule the emphatic will of the Sovereign Scottish people. Fact. The convention was breached. The Treaty of Union was breached. The United Kingdom was breached. Fact, fact, fact.

The Union is dead if we choose it to be. Fact. Destroyed by Brexit. Fact. Let us now present our case to the International Community at the UN and Council of Europe, and petition both for International recognition of the new reality.

What are the odds of discussing any of that at SNP Conference Angus? Do you now see my problem?

Breeks at 0709am,

Another excellent posting. Five years. Five utterly wasted years, and mandate, after mandate, after mandate. Yet still the SNP ‘leader’ship waffles on about effing section 30. Still they sit on their hands, ‘promising’ the gullible a referendum sometime ‘soon’.

Few political leaders are given the kind of powerful electoral mandates Nicola Sturgeon has been given, time after time after time. Yet what has she done about what she claims is her core policy, independence? Sweet f all. Five utterly wasted years. The SNP can go swivel, if they think they’ll get my vote again. Fool me once, and all that.

One part of your post is worth re-quoting, and one can only hope that somebody somewhere within the SNP takes heed;

“Scotland’s subjugation over Brexit overruled a democratic mandate from our sovereign people. Fact. Westminster’s rule by sovereign convention requires sovereignty to be pooled by mutual consent. Fact. That convention was breached when both Westminster and Holyrood saw fit to overrule the emphatic will of the Sovereign Scottish people. Fact. The convention was breached. The Treaty of Union was breached. The United Kingdom was breached. Fact, fact, fact.”

F**ing excellent post.

Holyrood was set up by unionists for unionists to keep control of the natives when entering the 21st century, they were hoping at Westminster that The set up of a talk shop still controlled by london would last 300 years maybe or until every bit of goodness has been squeezed out of Scotland, but some natives don’t like it and are fighting back, nothing lasts forever especially a union forced on a Nation who didn’t want it, time for change, change is coming westminster can’t and won’t stop it.

I had to chuckle at Sturgeon being portrayed in the press as reiterating the importance of hand-washing. She seems far more adept at hand-wringing! No doubt reciting the mantra “Need more mandates, need more mandates, need more mandates…” as she does so.

Looking back at the SNP under her leadership, and particularly since the EU Referendum, I can’t quite get my head around the missed opportunities and general incompetence that persists to this day.

As for voting SNP, whilst I’ll be pro-Indy until my dying day, the aphorism “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” keeps coming to mind. After Blackford’s bombastic rhetoric in the commons and Sturgeon’s much ado about nothing eve-of-Brexit speech, I simply don’t trust them anymore. Am I foolish enough to vote SNP again. I’m not sure that I am, if I’m honest.

I am afraid that there is a great danger from those who state that they cannot vote SNP again, because……..

It may be difficult to agree with some SNP policies, especially the abhorrent GRA proposal. It may be tempting to claim that the SNP are corrupted and missing multiple opportunities to play the constitutional card. I don´t know why the constitutional position is being shunned by the party. I don´t have access to the legal advice that I presume they do. Maybe certain high heid yins are locked into the gravy train, I just don´t know.

What I do know is that the data mining base used to defeat Clinton settled on a plan to accept that some voters would never vote for Trump, but if they could be poisoned enough they could be persuade not to vote at all.

I can see the same pattern emerging here, the manipulators know full well that many Scottish voters will never vote for a unionist party, so the next best thing is to persuade them not to vote at all. Make no mistake, every vote the SNP does not get represents a step up for the unionists. If enough votes are withheld from the SNP the unionists will gain the majority, this is a result for the enemies of Scotland.

As a result of vote withholding, we stand a good chance of a con/lib/lab majority. Were they to form the Scottish Government we could quickly find ourselves losing the gains made over the last 10 yrs, it’s not only independence that will have gone. It’s all the other Scottish policies abhorrent to the unionist masters in London.

Make no mistake there is clearly manipulation of the voters underway by the successors to Cambridge Analitica . Google a company called SLC, advisors to governments and the military. Look for a company called Aggregate IQ, based on Vancouver Island, BC. There is a You Tube video on them.

My wife is preparing a video on these undemocratic activities, link will be available when it’s done. In the mean time, I urge very careful consideration by the vote withholders. Do we really want a cobbled together unionist coalition whose sole aim will be to please its London masters.

And another thing re the Alex Salmond trial – it would be a story of a different kind if a peaceful ring of people gathered round the court and prevented the MSM from entering?

Would it not.

Sorry, Daisy: posts crossed.

BTW, thanks to Craig Murray for his brilliant reporting on the Assange hearing, which really shows up how feeble and compromised MSM journalism is.

Alex Salmond is the only FM whose led us to a indyref, for some, that can never be allowed to happen again hence what’s about happen…

I have said it before and it seems more and more obvious as things progress, or regress under sturgeon. The birt secret service HAVE infiltrated the leadership and strategy direction of the SNP!!

They were able to infiltrate and influence the highest levels of the IRA, so we need to be clear how far thier influence reaches.

The good work done over the last 12 years is in deep troube, as apathy and constant SNP bad stories take their toll on the public.

We used to criticise the Labour party for taking the voters for granted, now I cringe in horrer at the coming train crash of us following suit!

These tough talking carreerist MPs at wastemonster have been seduced by the comfortable life styles and golden handshakes!

How has it come to this given the huge trust and support we have been given, and the complete shambles of the opposition??

Instead of attacking and not allowing them to regroup, we get the unbelievable nonsence like.. ‘lets give the BBC more money’!! WTF!!! ?

The Midlothian MP and Mhari black etc… have been a huge disappointment to the Indy cause, given their pre election assertions. However, at least the will get their westminster pensions. fully earned of course!

Never mind, give them a round of applause for doing their best to stop brexit!
Are you listening sturgeon???
PUT SCOTLAND FIRST!!

This is a very valid point in my opinion, and one that needs answering. Is the media breaking the contempt rules by doing this?

Driving in the car this morning, I hear that two people in Wales, just returned from Milan, have got coronavirus. In spite of large sections of Italy being under quarantine, it is still possible to buy a day return to Milan for £38 from London.

Well,

The mainstream media get to break electoral law with impunity.

So I don’t think the contempt laws are going to bother them too much.

The next Carillion ?

Capita’s shares collapsed on Thursday as investors became frustrated over the slow progress of the UK outsourcer’s restructuring plans,

Capita employs 61,000 people, running everything from the London congestion charge to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to the BBC licence fee,

5 years ago share price was 1,320 per share now it has collapsed to 68 per share.

If Capita collapse a silver lining might be some respite from the endless TV license letters the fuckers send out.
Those twats must have caused the demise of a forest or two just to produce the mahoosif volume of paper and envelopes the twats get through, nevermind the carbon cost of the constant process of paper manufacturing / recycling, and delivery implications of hunners of posties stuffing said envelopes through folk’s doors.

Where’s the rage from David Attenborough and Patrick Harvie about that…

I’m trying to understand the conditions of the Alex Salmond trial
It seems that “Journalists” are allowed to print and repeat all the charges over and over then opine on the outcomes in respect of these charges being found against the Former FM, then these *Journalists* can repeat what they *think* will be going on inside a courtroom and what the results of that might be, then follow that up with news bulletins repeating that all over again with pictures

But nobody is allowed to report on what actually is said?

We know that the law isn’t designed to bring about justice or they wouldn’t have ever let lawyers near it but it does make it obvious that the law as it is which they say is for the protection of the people actually has nothing to do with the people at all

I’m not a lawyer so far too stupid to understand, I’m only the people so what business is it of mine

I remember watching War crimes prisoners involved in the slaughter of millions get fairer trials than this appears to be, and I remember at the time they said it was in the public interest for us to see and hear those proceedings

The entire world knows Prince Andrew was proven to be involved with a Paedophile sex gang criminal who *mysteriously* committed suicide in his jail cell, but he’s Royal so it gets a couple of weeks of fluff puff journalism but it never even gets anywhere near a court and everyone just accepts that, well because y’know class n that

It seems that this uppity Scotch separatist politician who fancied pitting himself against the *British* state gets a different kind of law applied to him, or does he just need Prince Andrew’s lawyer and a more important Mum

Oh! btw I love Britain and the Queen and Buckingham Palace and Boris Johnson please don’t deport me, I take it all back, I’m a foolish colonist who doesn’t understand what I’m saying

“It seems that “Journalists” are allowed to print and repeat all the charges over and over then opine on the outcomes in respect of these charges being found against the Former FM,”

The unionist media print the lurid allegations against Salmond, over and over again, conditioning the public to expect a gulity verdict. However by printing these allegations and for now that’s just what they are and nothing more, surely they are breaking the the rules of contempt an instilling prejudice against, the as of now, innocent defendant.

I’m utterly disgusted by the actions of the Scottish judiciary on having no public gallery available to the public, except loyal unionist reporters, who will spin the case to suit the narative.

The defendant isn’t a terrorist or mass murderer, nor as far as we know are children involved which does allow for a closed court.

The Lord Advocate James Wolffe could probably change the closed court to a open one if he wanted to. Even victims or witnesses can give evidence via tv screen these days, without actually being present in the court room.

It stinks to high heaven and the trial hasn’t even begun yet. I used to have respect for the Scottish judicial system not any more.

I do not know which is worse between Brian Wilson gaslighting all of Scotland or Craig Murray not being accredited for the Alex Salmond trial.

How can this happen in a civilised society?

maybe we should all turn up at the court – let’s see if they like a silent protest.

The Salmond trial will be as fair as the trial William Wallace got,

725 years ago Wallace was betrayed by a fellow countryman ( the cur Menteith) for the gold of a foreign state,

looks like we still have a country full of curs that will betray their countrymen for the gold of a foreign state.

I really find it hard to understand all the conspiracy theories regarding AS’s trial next week on rape and sexual offences.
He is innocent until proved guilty and has the top QC Jackson defending him. He’s an ex Labour politician but presumably AS chose him and must therefore have full confidence in him.
The Scottish justice system is extremely fair and AS will have the same treatment, no more, no less than anyone else.
For him to be found guilty there will need to be compelling evidence and it will be up to the 15 strong jury to decide one way or the other.
I think you should all calm down and let the process proceed.
Presumably, a journo from the National will be in attendance so you can follow proceedings through that medium.

How do you select a jury from Scotland where 50% of the population would find Alex Salmond guilty even if the evidence showed the opposite, well I’m guessing you carefully select them *randomly* depending on the result you want

In Trump’s impeachment trial everybody knew he was guilty but he had more people on his side so ends up innocent

Dr Jim
How stupid can you get.
Using your analogy, 50% will find him not guilty which will be enough to find him innocent.

5 years ago post Indy I wrote to the Rev Stu with a paper on the BBC. Today I visited my Dad. Was he concerned about Covid 19. No. In his late eighties he was concerned about a letter he had received about his tv licence. I completed the form for him and gave him a couple of hundred to calm him down. Does the BBC understand what they are doing? And the MSM are the arbiters of truth in the trial. Raging!

I think the fact that Neil Mackay could be accredited to attend the AS trial but Craig Murray can’t seems somewhat strange. That’s open justice in Scotland apparently.

@twathater

Because it’s not true. Only delegates get a vote and there is only a few from each SNP group at conference. Others can attend but have no right to vote. Delegates are selected by the group under the control of the convener of the group.

Commenting on these issues is nothing to do with SNP membership, they are open to all and if you’re interested in any topic being consulted on then I’m sure you would find out.

I get enough spam in my inbox without having the SNP telling me about every change in law proposed, if I care enough I will already know and that goes for all the public and not just SNP members.

I really don’t want to pour oil on a fire, just when the SNP’s sanity seems to be emerging from it’s stasis pod after returning from it’s mission into deep space, but if you want to pitch the “events dear boy” line, I feel obliged to point out there was a bloody great ‘event’ called Brexit which split the UK in two when an emphatic, sovereign, Scottish democratic mandate to remain in Europe was the polar opposite to the democratic mandate South of the Border.

We had, right there in the palm of our hands the PERFECT storm for a Constitutional dissolution of the Union as a direct consequence of Westminster’s usurpation of Sovereignty and colonial subjugation of our Nation’s Constitution. ALL we needed was right there, EVERYTHING we needed, even the flag waving douche bags in Westminster primed and ready to carry the can for bringing down the Union by their own asinine stupidity.

I am curious to know what “events dear boy” will ever, ever, ever again present Scotland with such a yawning open goal, such a golden chance in a millennium, but which the SNP under Sturgeon squandered absolutely in return for NOTHING. Not one single concession. Not even a Backstop when Ireland was sitting there screaming at us and giving us a template whereby we might save ourselves. Nope. Not listening. Too preoccupied trying to not talk about Independence, and manfully interfere where we’re not wanted with the democratic will of the English voters. Oh, and just for giggles, simultaneously redefine the biological science of women as we know it.

Getting on with the day job? You’re having a fkg laugh surely. I could weep for a month. If they’d rolled up their sleeves and actually got on with the day job, Scotland would right now be a sovereign Nation inside the European Union.

Don’t get me wrong, I honestly do want the SNP to turn into something useful, but I’ll be fucked if I’m going to whistle Dixie for another decade or two waiting for the SNP to touch base with planet earth.

If they won’t pick up the cudgels to defend Scotland’s Sovereignty, then perhaps the ‘something useful’ the SNP Government turns into is the first Scottish government ever to be impeached by the sovereign people, and booted out on its arse for abandoning Scotland’s sovereign constitution and allowing our Nation to be subjugated by an aggressive colonial usurper. Maybe that’s all they’re good for.

Our political debate has not a thing to do with their horrific experience and no matter what side of Scotland’s politics we are on,every right minded Scot will be disgusted at this cheep and nasty gutter journalism.
So… To the families who have been so ill used can I just say.

I am so very sorry that our politics has added to your pain and would never have, and never will condone such a thing xxx

If you ever doubted Alex Salmond’s guilt or innocence today’s Sunday Herald blows it all out of the water.

No society with a belief in the Rule of Law and natural justice could think that a fair trial was now possible. As someone said The Nuremberg Trials provided more justice.

I now claim that Salmond is innocent because in no fair way can he ever be proved guilty.

Absolutely I am worried about him that is why I am talking to the rest of the family about isolation protocol. Solutions in play however I was referring to his despondency about the BBC letter. What are they doing? A National broadcasting organisation with the interests of the community. Don’t think so. Long time since Bill and Ben. It’s over for them as well.

Corroboration by an eye witness or expert evidence such as DNA.

Section 30 squabble has always been around and is still unresolved, even Alex Salmond took that route in the end though not at first. I think you should read this.

sassenach and ayeright , sassenach you maintain that most of the members are quite happy to trust in NS and are quite happy to wait on her doing something , funnily enough most of the indy bloggers are now echoing SC’s dissection of the current situation , Grouse Beater, Peter Bell ,even Barrhead Boy who was almost sycophantic in his admiration of NS , but they are just not in the loop for Nicola’s big plan , and I think you’ll find it’s not my self generating woke ‘problem’ ,that accolade such as it is is down to your great Nicola

Ayeright you correctly state that in the 2014 ref Scots voted to stay part of the UK but as NS said after 2016 change of circumstances we would have a indyref2 so where is it , you also say Yes, I agree “dissolution of the Union” is the goal and will only be achieved when the sovereign people of Scotland express that as their will. So where is this great opportunity to show our will
You also say Under Sturgeon support for the SNP has exceeded 50% in the polls the last 3 times in a row, the SNP are at their highest in the polls than anytime since the aftermath of 2014
So I ask you is the increase in support for indy due to the procrastination and capitulation of NS or is it because people are becoming sickened by bozo , his clown party , and breshit is finally revealing itself

@twathater

“people are becoming sickened by bozo , his clown party , and breshit is finally revealing itself” is correct.

“Ayeright says:

@Mist001

You are correct.”

It surely can’t be that simple, that a handful of people on an independence blog already know the result of the trial before it’s even started?

It just seems too simple. I truly hope it is this simple but I get the feeling now that the PF has something that the SNP didn’t have, a ‘Plan B’ about which, about which, we currently know nothing!

What a fucking hypocrite you are Campbell when it comes to free speech Hahaha you’re a complete prick and your website is heading into the bargain basement along with your reputation.

Your ego IS already your downfall and there’s no way back.

Wings party LOL

Why would any supporter of the SNP give a Wings Party their second vote when you continually slag them off and in particular target their leader?

A Wings party has no chance of getting their votes with you as leader.
