Press pause on the remote

Merry Christmas, readers. We hope you have one filled with peace and love. There are still at least two-and-a-half years of Tory-led Westminster government to come.
If you need the words, they’re below.

Oh it’s Christmas so we’ll stop
’cause the wine on our breath puts the love in our tongues
so forget the names I called you on Christmas Eve
In fact forget the entire year
don’t reflect just pretend and you won’t feel scared
you won’t feel a thing
’cause it’s all been tucked away
The next day life went back to its bad self.
Merry Christmas Rev to you and yours I hope it’s happy and peaceful.
Thank you fora each and every one of the hours I have spent with you since finding you earlier in the year.
All the best to everyone. If I may here’s an effort from my own site to help you get into the Christmas spirit. To the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:
Johann the Labour leader
Always wore a big red rose
It was a revered symbol
Of socialism I suppose.
All of the Scottish journos
Never asked her anything
“Just send a press release in
And we’ll publish verbatim.”
Then one day Elf Miliband
Phoned her up to tell…
“Benefits we can’t afford
Your principles must go to hell.”
Then all the Scottish public
Could so very clearly see
That Johann the left-wing champion
Was really just a red Tory!
A very happy Christmas to you and thanks for the blog, it keeps my spirits up…..down here in deepest Dumfrieshire.
Dave, that’s hilarious! And the others on your blog, but I agree, the one above is the pick of the bunch.
Happy Christmas everyone.
That’s it then, it’s all over!
Radio 4 news reports queenie’s speech is focussing on togetherness!
Maybe if I’m walking the dog and don’t hear it it won’t really happen!
From a sunny and eternally fabulous Dundee, a very Happy Christmas to WoS readers everywhere.
Check out the RTE tv guide perspective on the queen’s speech “The Queen : British monarch lectures her subjects”. Priceless
Happy Christmas Rev. Stu.
I’ll take the opportunity to wish you all the best and hope you keep up the amazing work you do on wings.
Your tenacious debunking of lies, revealing investigations and the scorching unflattering spotlight you put on the rest of the scottish media has been incredible this year.
I fear we will need you and all the rest with their eyes open on here more than ever in the next two years.
They tried to ban tartan…it didn’t work.
They tried to stop the playing of our national music…it didn’t work.
They tried to stop us from speaking Gaelic…it didn’t work.
They tried to stop us from teaching our history to our kids…it didn’t work.
They are trying to stop us from gaining our freedom……It won’t work!
Nollaig Chridheil agus Bliadhna Mhath Ur dhuibh uile, a charaidean.
(Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, my friends.)
Yes, from Edinburgh (and currently West Lothian) thanks to the Rev for the stimulating articles and for facilitating such informed discussion from all of the contributors here. It’s been a damn fine place to be in 2012 and I think that 2013 (and 2014) will be even better. Cheers and thanks, MB.
Taking time out from kitchen to post! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and especially you Rev.for keeping us focused and informed. Cold drink and hot oven calling……………:-)
merry christmas tae ye all and aw the best for the new year.
Happy Christmas Rev. Keep up your great work.
A guid New Year tae one an a’. Not long now
I’d like to add my thanks to W.O.S. If there is a yes result in the referendum it will be partly due to the quality of the pro-independence sites, and Rev Stuart Campbell deserves special mention there. All the best in 2013.
Hear, hear.

Dear Padre
Festive greetings. Usually religiously receive – via email update – follow and disseminate your epistles, but your last few sermons seem to have vanished into the epistemological ether: Any recent tech probs at your end?
Hope and pray normal service will be restored asap as am suffering severe withdrawal symptoms re lack of regular postings from your prophetic pen (metaphorically speaking).
Back-up email address for me is in addition to this iPhone address I am posting from.
Trust all is well with you and your team, and you can advise me regarding the foregoing.
Best wishes for the New Year

PS Apropos Twitter, have put on back boiler due to a rash of uber BritNat tirades and hijack attempts (these attempted also on Facebook and gmail sites/accounts – Black Ops in action?). Trust your site security is upto snuff.
Alba Hail.
