Wings Over Scotland


Always keep in touch with your friends

Posted on May 15, 2020 by

As overt direct interference by unelected, unaccountable foreign media corporations in national politics continues to intensify, readers of Wings will be aware that it’s now considerably more difficult for us to even let you know when we have a new post up.

(Obviously this isn’t quite so much of an issue when we’re on holiday – which despite the flurry of activity in the last week or so we still officially are, since the coronavirus has knackered everything up and unavoidably delayed the decision we’d planned to make last month – but the general principle remains alarming.)

So here are some things you can do.

1. FOLLOW “FRIENDS OF WINGS”

Especially alert readers may already have spotted that our Twitter logo now redirects to another account. It was set up by the people who maintain the “Wings stall” that appears at indy events and marches, specifically for this purpose, and has already gathered an impressive number of followers in just a few days.

We have no connection to the account (if we did we probably wouldn’t have called it “FO Wings” :D) or indeed to the stall, but we’re sure that the trans and SNP activists determined to remove all trace of Wings from social media* will still report it and try to have it banned anyway, so there are also other options.

(*They’re going nuts trying to spot which accounts might be me. None of the ones currently claiming to be Wings are, but setting up fake ones called “RevStu2784” or “WingsScottland” for them to chase endlessly might be funny.)

2. GET EMAIL ALERTS

We didn’t even know this was a thing until recently, and were always perplexed to get notifications about it, but we’ve finally worked out what it is.

If you scroll to the bottom of any article on Wings, you’ll see the comments box, which should look something like this:

Observe that highlighted section. If you tick the box and then hit “Submit Comment” (we don’t think there’s any way of getting alerts without posting at least one comment, one time), you’ll get a message like this at whichever email address you’ve entered in the details box.

Click the “Confirm Follow” button in that message and you should get this:

Now any time there’s a new article posted, you’ll get an email link to it. You can choose to receive the alerts immediately, daily or weekly.

3. SHOW SUPPORT

Obviously the ideal solution is for Twitter to lift its completely unjustified bans on all our accounts. To do that you can try contacting @TwitterSupport, or (and with slightly more hope of success) raising the issue anywhere else you can think of to exert pressure. We’re already in touch with the Free Speech Union and the NUJ.

We’ve noticed quite a lot of people have also adopted our shield logo as their Twitter profile pic, which is a low-effort but actually quite powerful way of keeping a Wings presence in Scottish political social media discoure and highlighting the injustice. Below are a few variants of the logo you can use if you’d like to do so.

Now more than ever, folks, it’s important to remain alert.

    I always keep in touch with my friends. Last night for instance I was almost having to call an ambulance when my Unionist friends of over 40 years told me that they have decided to vote for Independence. That also includes their two grown up children.I am stunned.

    To know them would indicate the magnitude of that decision for many reasons I can’t post on here.

    Is something turning?

    Looking forward to more announcements when lockdown is over then Stu? Have to say that since my twitter account got canned I haven’t really missed it that much: like so many such platforms it now seems to me it has outlived its usefulness. I do miss interaction with some of the good folk on twitter though!

    Going forward I still think we need access to a distributed/federated platform for any “new” party or movement that isn’t subject to the whims of twitter-like algorithms and the baleful influence of cancel culture’s purity spirals.

    As Rev said there, the FOW account will surely come under attack from the usual suspects.

    It’s not possible for anyone to keep across all social media platforms – if you see any posts on Twitter, FB or elsewhere, crowing about ‘taking down’ Wings, Glinner, Craig Murray, Mark Hirst, please save them, screenshot them, and if you’re not sure how to do that (like me!), let others know.

    There’s a solid – and growing – body of evidence which proves that the reporting which resulted in the closure of the @RevStu and Sealand accounts was organised. No cuddly toy for guessing who’s behind it all, but the more evidence the better – they believe they’ve got away with this and so, emboldened, are on the hunt for more scalps.

    They’ll be coming for this new account – nothing surer. So let’s be ready for them.

    As I have opined before the establishment is fighting a war. That is what they do and they have done so across the globe as countries have striven to regain their independence.

    The suppression of information through the mechanisms of the state apparatus is what allowed the regime in 1930s Germany to take absolute control and it is no exaggeration to say that we are on the same path.

    The importance of resisting censorship and the political oppression, and indeed potential incarceration of dissidents is something none of us should ignore – not for a moment and we must all do our bit to resist the growing fist of the totalitarian state.

    Michelle Thompson, Alex Salmond, Craig Murray, Mark Hirst, Manny Singh, and even the Rev Stu Campbell. What two things have they all got in common.

    Yes they all support independence and they all have received police attention.

    Or more recently, what about the hapless MP for Coatbridge with whom a neighbour had words because of his displaying a Celtic FC flag in his window. A month after the police said there was no crime, a team reappear and charge both him and his neighbour.

    Or what of the leak the night before the equally hapless Derek Mackay was to read his budget. Yes he may have been a clown for engaging with a young man in tasteless texts but who released the story the night before to such devastating effect. Most interesting how in the absence of any complaint of criminality a Police Scotland announced that they were nevertheless calling to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

    Thin end of an ever thickening wedge and our failure to resist this, will result as gravely as Germany’s Jewish community failed to resist a similar clamp down there.

    Readers might do well to appraise themselves of the Nacht Und Nebel decree of 7th December 1941 which allowed German authorities to abduct individuals alleged to be endangering a German security so that they effectively vanished without trace.

    Consider now Police Scotland and how it is moving as a political weapon against perceived enemies of the state. And consider also the part that the prosecution service is now playing.

    Re: “Friends Of Wings”

    I read the Revs comments as to mean, “is there any chance of changing the name”.

    Because it could lead others to put their own interpretation on it.

    After all, when you see the slogan, “F,O,Wings”, a lot of our enimies would take that to mean, “Fuck Off Wings” and the majority of them would probably say, “yes, fuck right off Wings” and give us all peace.

    So from what I took the Rev to mean was,,,”any chance of a quick name change guys”.

    In a jokey sort of way.

    We have enough BitNats telling us to “Fuck Off”, without advertising the point ourselves.

    Things really are scary just now and I’m not on about just the virus. Scottish office full of unionists, Visit Scotland polluted with the disease of unionism, National Trust with Neil Oliver at its head. The NT can go swing, no way would I ever make a donation to them even if they did get rid of N O. Employing him shows their calibre from the start.

    One Nation, Our Nation, The Nation, the North, Britain. All terminology used every day by the msn and nobody corrects them or asks which nation? I always understood that the name Britain was to be used whenever the subject was a reference to the nations of Scotland and England to prevent Scotland becoming a chattel of England?

    I am very proud to be Scottish and love to see the Saltire waving wherever I am. The English should feel the same when their flag is waving but for some reason they need to be consoled with their colours in among other nations and the knowledge that the bayonet and the gun will always be their default position to feel dominant and secure. They will always be warmongers. The best way to stop bullies is when they realise that the playground isn’t theirs anymore as was shown by a blustering PM. Without his gang he was like a burst balloon.

    I agree with the first poster, there are indeed worrying developments showing a rise in totalitarianism and removal of free speech. A few examples, are the diktat of ‘no-platforming’ anybody, including homosexual, transgender or transsexual individuals who do not fully agree with the anti-scientific gender-queer dogma.

    Then their is the worrying, seemingly politically motivated pursuit of contempt proceeding against ONLY those who were supportive of Mr. Salmond – and then there was that trial itself, something which the entire Scottish legal establishment should be ashamed was even allowed to take place.

    History shows us that all such types of changes, are the precursors to totalitarianism, the rise of dictatorships and the end of free thought and speech. Totalitarianism, can arise by stealth, drip, drip, drip, little by little, very, very slowly, and by the time folk realise, it is too late, the freedom for dissent has gone already.

    I find it horrifying the way some on the left and in the SNP, have embraced the removal of free speech, with such glee, celebrating the unwarranted closure of the wings over Scotland twitter account. Stifling a single voice because he won’t agree with their anti-science, gender-queer dogma. What they cannot seem to understand, is that just as his voice has been so easily stifled, so too could theirs.

    It is a slippery ground, that those who should be fighting for free speech, celebrate it being stifled.

    Those celebrating so hard and long about the removal of free speech from the wings twitter account, should really take time to think through where they are taking things, perhaps it is YOU they will silence next. Then what?

    This total inability to hit the mark takes my breath away especially given the Salmond trial.

    If I were a unionist (MSN is totally) MSP or MP I would be asking:

    1. Would the first minister like to congratulate MR Salmond on proving his innocence?

    2. Would the first minister care to condemn people who make false allegations?

    3. Have you amended Scottish Government protocols to ensure such cases can’t be repeated?

    4. First minister has police Scotland wound up the “Salmond Team”.

    5. First minister are you happy with the performance of the Crown Office

    To Dave Maskey at 9:06am. I’m coming on here – first time, probably only time, though I read regularly and have contributed money in the past – to stress this bill and its authoritarian intentions are not from “the far left”. The “left” in general stretches over various groups and ideologies from Labour (pretty right wing) to the SSP and Solidarity (which is much nearer me). But though I’m for example not completely lined up with the Rev on trans – I’m not far off. Socialists – let me say here pretty damn definitively – support independence for Scotland because every nation has the right to self-determination, end of; the line, as it were, coming from Marx, through Lenin to James Connelly. Most people on the far left are very sympathetic to trans people, but seriously dubious about the smear campaign for example over Campbell, Murray and Hirst, which does seem to have roots in govt security services using some people close to the top of the SNP as “useful idiots”. I’m certainly far to the left of the Rev – who has said he has voted LibDem for example – but let’s be clear about who is, and who isn’t, active around these issues. And again – Scottish Labour isn’t even slightly on the left.

    “ shug @0134 pm “ , agree with you re the FM “ wiping the floor” with MSM“ journalists”. It seems to me that the more direct exposure given to our FM (without the “ filters” eg “ toddle-oo- the noo at Holyrood and the distorting Scotland “ team” at Pathetic Quay ,) then the more the the General Public seem to appreciate the very competent job she is doing as regards her “ COMMUNICATION “ and EXPLANATION of the parameters of the pandemic , and her honesty and transparency as regards the data etc. The Scottish public are in general very “ fair minded” and perhaps this is now showing with the very recent polling for the Holyrood election . I think the view of the public is that she is very “ hardworking” and this would be reinforced since the start of this Pandemic. ( I would guess she has been working 16 hour days 6-7 days a week since March . She looks a little drawn and little wonder).
    However, in football terms , in her dual role as FM and leader of the SNP , I would view her as “ playmaker( certainly in the context of prosecuting Independence). She requires a “ striker” along side her when it comes to the “ constitutional goal” . Someone who can “ put the ball in the net” . She appeared to somewhat lose possession over Brexit , but appears to have regained the ball over the Pandemic .
    Post Pandemic , there will be some critical questions to be answered and I will be very interested to see whether Alex Salmond attaches any blame to the FM ( or whether he sees possibly that she has been ensnared by the Britnat Civil service , and no doubt security service operatives embedded within Holyrood ). ?Will she perhaps decide to “step down “ ( as undoubtedly this pandemic Crisis is obviously taking a significant toll on her? Or will she decide to continue if she still leads the polls ahead of Holyrood 2021?
    As I said earlier , I view her as the “ playmaker” as regards the constitution. She needs a “ finisher” along side her as she moves into the penalty box. Whether it’s a “ headed finish” ( Joanne Cherry and a court battle to establish that the Union Treaty has been unequivocally breached ?) . A side foot pass to the on running number 9 with the ball driven home from close range ( A 2nd referendum win with an accomplished striker leading the campaign along side her ; Robertson , even Salmond? or Cherry? ) or she is brought down “ in the box” via a cynical professional WESTMINSTER foul” ( we have to appeal to the UN “ referee” ?
    Interesting possibilities “ going forward” . We must “ go for goal” when this crisis passes. If necessary make the Holyrood election our “ referendum “ .

    Agree with all you say

    The critical thing is will she ensure the Scottish elections next year are about independence??

    Will Alex come out on her side – if so I think it will now be in the bag. I find it hard to believe she does not support Alex. AS first minister and the boss the the complainers say could not say a thing. I just don’t know why the unionists are not making it worse for her. Having said that they are such a useless bunch.

    Some seem to think the last few years were wasted but I don’t think so, the polls did not move and there is no point in an referendum if you don’t win. Her position on the EU did seem light but nobody can be in any doubt about how irrelevant Scotland’s interest are to Westminster.

    There is a wave building now as a result of the virus and Brexit will hit in Jan. Sounds like a perfect storm.

    “Trial without juries. Reporting restrictions. Trials with secret witnesses. Trials totally in camera.

    Readers might do well to appraise themselves of the Nacht Und Nebel decree of 7th December 1941 which allowed German authorities to abduct individuals alleged to be endangering a German security so that they effectively vanished without trace.”

    Willie, it started in 1933 (?) not long after Hitler became Chancellor. A state of emergency was invoked allowing them to lock up communists, and was signed off by President Hindenburg.
