Transforming the question 313
The Huffington Post published a poll today, to the great delight of the likes of Stonewall Scotland, which seemed to fly in the face of every previous one on the idea of gender self-identification, a policy which appears to have been dumped by the UK government but is still very much in favour with the Scottish one.
That the poll had been commissioned by trans uber-fundamentalist website Pink News immediately set off alarm bells, especially as the site had previously asked a similar question, found dramatically different results and swiftly disappeared them.
As ever, Wings went looking for the truth.

Even by the intellectual standards of the Scottish media, this is a stupid question:
But just to be helpful, we’ll answer it: by a majority of more than 500 votes is how.
The indivisible kingdom 359
Holiday Boy is on holiday again. But this week we stumbled across a genuine piece of artwork that might explain a lot about the way Unionists think.
Happy Someone Else’s Independence Day, readers.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new World Speed-Reading Champion:
Almost 1200 words in 15 seconds is mighty impressive going in anyone’s book. (Either that or it’s REALLY slow for a 12-word tweet.) But we wondered if there might be any other reason why Mrs Angus Robertson wouldn’t want people reading that article.

So something quite interesting just happened, and we don’t mean this race:

We were rummaging around semi-aimlessly in the vaults last night, readers, and we were rather startled to come across this:
