Indeed it is. Merry Christmas Stu.
Merry Xmas. YOU give us hope. And knowledge. Thank you.

From them and me Stu, Merry Xmas.
You are my news Santa Ckaus every day of the year !!
All the best. Here’s to COVID being under some semblance of control next year and the return of Alex Salmond and the fall of the Cabal.
Merry Christmas to all at Wings.
Without your work we’d be in big trouble.
Keep it up.
Cheers
Happy Christmas Stu, keep on keeping on m8.

hamperful of THANKS from all of us

We could start a new, New Year Tradition, which might grow to replace the sectarian English Guy Fawkes bolloxs.

We just need someone to come up with an alternative set of lyrics for “Baratts Privateers”.
I’ll start you off with a few suggested lines…

Rev Stuart Campbell ,
Wishing you a Peaceful and Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do for us ,
I like the subtle link through the bands name and David Gedge about the meaning of this post if I’ve got it right ? .
Have a good one, Rev. Cheers for all your efforts.
‘No Christmas’ must be one of the most powerful and poignant love songs I’ve listened to, so far in my life . Thanks for yet another pressie.
Merry Christmas Stu an the Wings Comments crowd, an thanks Stu fer yer work durin the hardest year yet.
Merry Christmas!!
From me: all of the above and below.

Stuart Campbell!
Merry Christmas Rev Stu – and a Merry Christmas to those Wingers I have eyeballed and those still to suffer that pleasure.
Johnson’s Eu deal is all smoke and mirrors.
“Economically, that means the UK becoming more competitive. And yet Boris Johnson just signed a deal that is specifically designed to ensure that the UK doesn’t gain a competitive advantage over the EU because the consequence will be tariffs on UK products. Johnson is celebrating the ability to significantly move away from EU law and, at the same time, celebrating that he got a zero tariff deal. That doesn’t make sense if the moment you use the first one, you lose the second one.”

Here’s to a 2021 of global human audacity and the downfall of the self-styled ‘expert’.
Merry Xmas Rev and all those in Scotland that are Independently minded!
You known this thing Jesus did with the Fish and feeding the 5,000,
How does that compare to Scotland feeding fish the England and Mainland Europe.
500,000,000 fed by a country not allowed to hold a referendum.

Merry Christmas Stu.
Merry Xmas to all non english human beings.
With the further exception of Ginger Dugger Sturgeon fanatics
Peaceful Crimbo Stuart and to all Wingers.
A happy Christmas to Stu, Chris and all the Wingers.
Let’s celebrate Christmas, re-charge our batteries over the festive season and get ready for an interesting year ahead.
Merry Christmas!
Ottomanboi, do you actually read the stuff that you link to? Or are you just trying to disguise your anti-science standpoint as some sort of public good? Maybe it’s simple dog whistling, an invitation to others who are equally detached-from-reality to come out and play.
This latest link is particularly ill-timed. Ridiculing and attacking people who want to care for their children at a time like Christmas, even in normal circumstances, would be considered distasteful. But these aren’t normal times…
News from South Africa suggests the prevailing variant is not only highly infectious but that it hits children and young people hard, with many presenting at hospitals.
I’m not offended by what you type, or pretending to be offended by it. But I am opposed to it because it’s just dead wrong and dangerously misleading.
I wish I was as wrong as you. I wish the South African minister for Health was wrong too. But all the indications point to several months of hell ahead. If the hell ever ends, it will be because of the vaccines and science that you have trashed daily on here for months.
It’s time to close and lockdown everything. And I’m sorry about that, but that’s the deal.
Hiv a guid Yule Rev.
Mebbe oor 48 Naitional Pairty hero’s doon at Westminster will at endmaist fund a bakbane tae pouss thon Scottis soverane veto (‘na-say’) on 31st Dec?
Tho A’m no haudin ma braith.
Still, awbody can snift independence noo, e’en mid thon mankit wastit slump o semi-colonialism fowk caw devolution.
Merry Christmas, Rev, and all Wingers.
Thank you, Rev, for the huge efforts you go to for the cause – look after yourself.
Sturgeon’s at it again, I particularly think the first four words are relevant when dealing with a snake like Sturgeon.
“Before the spin starts, it’s worth remembering that Brexit is happening against Scotland’s will. And there is no deal that will ever make up for what Brexit takes away from us. It’s time to chart our own future as an independent, European nation.”

Thanks for all the work you do to keep us informed. Have a very Merry and relaxing Christmas.
HATUEY.
Keep repeating the fear mantra and get Gates’ cocktail vaccine. Do I care?
Btw not anti science, come from family of doctors, just anti ‘the science’, the official bollocks peddled by crypto totalitarian politicians and their algorithm obsessed advisors who’d shut down all human contact ie your freedom and mine.
Loosen up! You working for the system?
Aw the best fellow malcontents, however you may be spending the day.
It’s often a very difficult time of year for folk in normal times, so thoughts are especially with those folks, and particularly those that are spending it alone.
I sacked the whole thing off as unrealistic to travel the large distances to finally meet family for the first time in nearly a year for just a single day with lockdown being implemented tomorrow.
I notice Scottish leccy is cooking lots of English crimbo dinners… Almost 5GW going south at the moment. So Scotland basically exporting a higher amount than we are using.

Writing a Moral Code: Algorithms for Ethical Reasoning by Humans and Machines
link to mdpi.com
“The moral and ethical challenges of living in community pertain not only to the intersection of human beings one with another, but also our interactions with our machine creations. This article explores the philosophical and theological framework for reasoning and decision-making through the lens of science fiction, religion, and artificial intelligence (both real and imagined). In comparing the programming of autonomous machines with human ethical deliberation, we discover that both depend on a concrete ordering of priorities derived from a clearly defined value system.”
Merry Christmas to Rev Stu and all Wingers. Hope we get everything we hope for in the New Year. xx
A very merry peaceful Christmas to you and the WOS army , thanks for all that you do on our and Scotland’s behalf
A hot whisky lemon toddy with you, sir.
Merry Christmas to all. Stuck with home working for 9 months and counting, the articles and the comments have provided a great dose of escapism, reality checks and entertainment.
Here’s to all that are still here, and here’s to all that are not.
Thanks Rev for your persistence and hard work.
I wish for the day when I don’t hear ‘The sounds of sirens’
And people in Scotland free to choose the future they’d like, not one foisted upon us.
Slainté!
“You working for the system?”
Yeah. I love the system. It’s the best system mankind has ever had – not without faults and plenty of room for progression, but better than any other we have had.

Dearest Stuart,
Thankyou for so many years of effort. In wishing you a heartfelt Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, might I quote the wise and welcome words of Glenn from this page…
“Here’s to covid being under some semblance of control next year and the return of Alex Salmond and the fall of the Cabal”
Stuart, we all owe you a debt of gratitude and in time, I believe that will be understood all across the nation once we have a new First Minister.
Kindest wishes and all the best for 2021.
Cheers,
Al.
Still lurking.
Merry Christmas!
Keep posting.
HATUEY.

“The best of all possible worlds”
Voltaire had something satirical to say on that worldview.
It is often the mindset of those who fail to hear the stamp of military boots and the loud knocking on their neighbours’ doors.
Thanks for all you do Stuart. All the best to you for 2021. Wishing you Good health and happiness.
Thanks Stuart. This year must have been completely shite to deal with, but you did. You also alerted us all to, and took on, the hollowing out of the SNP by whatever the fuck they are/were.
You were amongst the very first to dare to call it against the sainted Nicola. You took a lot of shit for all that. And did not give a fck, so here’s to you and your absolutely thrawn and stubborn relentlessness. God Bless.
I’d have thunk the best of all possible worlds would be one that celebrates and supports bio-diversity and a legal respect for difference. Which is what I’m trying to support, though my IP address is being progressively blocked by the sources I’m linking to. Including SAGE.

We’d be in a sad state without your highly welcome contributions.
Thank you and all good wishes to you and yours.
Merry Christmas Stu,
More power to your elbow. While I have on occasion worried that you were losing the plot, the truth is it was only because of this site that I bothered going to Conference and helping to vote a bunch of wokies off the NEC.
And there is every chance my list vote will go to the ISP.
Keep on keeping on, we do need you.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Rev and all BTL.
Hope Santa was good to you.
Here’s to the great British Fuck off in 2021.
Let join the 62 other nation that are no longer colonies!
Bit late maybe, but Merry Christmas to all.
Something kinda topical?

Ever wonder why Hogmanay was the big deal in Scotland and Christmas was an ‘English’ thing? Wonder no more.
Feel like ranting at FM’s blatant hypocrisy, … but not today. ( Not going soft, just been sampling some decent uisge-beatha…).
Merry Christmas Stu and all you independence supporting cats out there (you know who you are,!). Have a topper of what is left all.
Happy Christmas, Stu, thank you for all that you do, year after year, to keep us informed. Much love to you and yours. D xxx
For everyone who grew up listening to John Peel on Radio One, time is getting short. Prising Scotland free of the Union is the last chance for immortality.
“In his autumn, before the winter, comes man’s last mad surge of youth.”
Don’t waste it.
Belated Merry Xmas WOS….and to all of the lovely people I have interacted with here in the past…..
@ Stuart MacKay
Aye, after the various events that have occurred since 2014, Scotland should be experiencing the quickening… but instead we endure the sickening… 🙁
@ Clapper57 , correction to your post it should also read and also to the ones I will continue to interact with in the FUTURE POST INDEPENDENCE
At the coo’s tail,
I echo all the good things said about your goodself by the others.
Here is a thought I’ve put up before.
Next year, as we all know, will be seven years since 2014. As stated in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement (NI), our cousins over the water, if they so wish, by a majority, can have a referendum every that space of time on reuniting N and S.
I keep hoping that Ms. Sturgeon has that in mind, and will spring what’s good for the goose, etc on us sometime then.
Although I dinna get me hopes up too high.
I STILL, and my wife is sick of hearing me say, can’t get my head round how she, or Murrel, or both, could conceive this plot to attempt to destroy Mr. Salmond by concocting their mendacious plot, AND get all her henchpeope to assist, surely with consequences for their CS careers, if it blew up in their faces, which it has.
And who could this mysterious third party be, who sat in on some of these meetings with the sobinn wimen, mentioned in minutes.
Best wishes, Stuart.
May you have some full relaxation – and comfort, in the warm!
Good eats, etc, too.
Regards! And thanks!
Merry Christmas Stu!
Thanks for all your hard work Stu and I wish you and all the best for the new year neebs.And the same goes for those who have taken the time to comment and help shine a light is some dark places.
