Scotland’s Most Frightened

Posted on March 04, 2026 by

This was just two months ago. (Longer version here.)

And we’ll bet you anything you like he’s already wishing he hadn’t said it.

Because a recent study suggested that Swinney might just achieve the impossible task he set for himself, and if he does then he’s REALLY screwed.

Now, we don’t actually think that’ll happen – the study makes a lot of assumptions with very little real-world basis – but on current polling the SNP are so far ahead on the constituency vote that it’s not outwith the bounds of imagination. And we think might have made him think he’s this guy:

But in the “John Wick” series, every Herculean feat that Keanu Reeves’ troubled protagonist pulls off to get out of a tough spot just leaves him in even deeper trouble and facing an even harder one. And right now, John Swinney is living in the same sort of nightmare as mob boss Viggo Tarasov.

(As played with masterfully weary fatalism above by Mikael Nyqvist, confronting the consequences of the actions of Tarasov’s idiot son Iosef, who in this analogy is either Humza Yousaf or Anas Sarwar, we’re not quite sure which.)

The worst thing in the world that could possibly happen to Swinney is that the SNP do indeed achieve that single-party majority. Because if they do, he’s all out of excuses.

In January he left himself with no wiggle room whatsoever.

KIERAN ANDREWS: “So you can guarantee 100%, then, if there’s an SNP majority there will be a referendum?

SWINNEY: “Yes.”

And that’s a promise he has no power whatsoever to keep. David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have all previously dismissed the SNP’s indignant claims of a moral mandate for another indyref, all made on the basis of just under 49% of the vote, so Keir Starmer will definitely (and rightly) give him short shrift for demanding one on the basis of 32% or so.

(Because previously they said all “pro-indy” votes counted, but this time they’ve been absolutely explicit that it’s only SNP ones.)

And then Swinney (and indeed all his idiot apologists) will have to turn to expectant SNP voters and say “Ehm, well, actually that was complete bullshit I was feeding you, but hold tight for five more years and we’ll have another go in 2031. Trust me!”

And readers, we’d almost vote SNP ourselves just to see that happen. But Swinney has two months left to sabotage the chances of it, so let’s watch and see what he does. He might end up wishing Peter Murrell had had to appear in court after all.

    No referendum will ever be required when the UN rules that Scotland is a colony.

    Between allowing the US to use UK airbases to attack Iran and shooting down an Iranian drone over Jordan, over 350 miles from Cyprus, Keir Starmer has firmly put the UK including Scotland into a Middle East War ! This war has been concocted to cover up Donald Trump’s part in the Epstein Islands, the UK was not informed before hand ? was it ? In any case Scotland did not get a say one way or the other, but Scotland will pay for it in cash and blood. Remember when voting in the Scottish Elections your first vote is SNP (holding your nose is not obligatory). Your second vote which the SNP have wasted 1 million votes for 2 MSPs TWICE ! expect you to help them to do this for a third time and waste another million yes a million votes for 2 list seats, that is exactly the status quo and all the Tory MSP squatters will waltz back into Holyrood where their seats will still be warm. To hell with the status quo use your second vote for Scottish based Independence Parties and kick the snug Tory charlatans out of their cozy seats. No more Foreign Wars for Scotland and Scots, Scotland a Nuclear Free Independent Country ???????? Enough is Enough, End London Rule !

      Every obedient Iranian and every obedient co-religionist walking Scotland’s streets tonight is in that war.

      That means you are too.

      Most UK casualties of this war will be non-military “soft” targets going about their daily lives on streets much like the one you live on.

    I am far from convinced with the polling projections. I suspect that the curent SNP will really strugle to win a single seat in rural constituencies anywhere in Scotland. Even a decent SNP will now strugle to win a constituency seat in rural Scotland. I live in the north of Scotland and the number of people who have moved up here from England over the last few years is an issue and the rate at which they are moving up here seems to be accelerating. There are large areas of the Highlands and Islands where RUK unionists incomers are now in the majority. Tactical voting with the help of the BBC, the P+J, and all the other unionist owned local media news outlets will insure the SNP do not win seats and Swinney knows it.

        Let us be clear about who is responsible for the conflagration in the Middle East: the pantomime horse USRAEL, certainly.

        But Marco Rubio of that horse’s ‘head’ let the cat out of the bag: the attack was driven by the horse’s arse. Its leader, BB Yahoo, needs to win an election in a few months to stay out of jail.

        He has led by the nose his partner-in-crime, (that son of Scotland, Dòmhnall Iain Trump) and bounced him into this disaster. The Great Deal-Maker had to pretend to be at least co-leader to avoid the perception of ‘follower’- a loser’s image.

        So far, the only winner is BB.

        Those wannabes on here who echo the cheers led on this “war by and for the Epstein Class” (Robin McAlpine) should read the Reuters report on CIA misgivings of barely a week ago:

        Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei could be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say | Reuters

        I am eerily reminded of the (ignored) warnings by MI5 to Blair of terrorist blowback in 2002/03. Subsequent events more than vindicate the Security Service’s analysis then.

        On a earlier thread another poster gave an excellent link to an Unherd piece (see below) to how counterproductive USRAEL’s strategy will be. The murder of Khameini will actually strengthen the more hardline factions in Iran.

        Many of our keyboard heroes posting here know a bit of Arabic- at least the word fatwa . How many know that Ayatollah Khameini issued a fatwa against the production of a nuclear weapon? What price the survival of that fatwa following
        USRAEL’s assassination of its author? Has USRAEL shot itself in the foot- or in the head?

        link to unherd.com

        Having read this alongside McAlpine’s remarks comparing Swinney and Starmer, I conclude that Robin is too soft on Swinney and hard on Starmer. Alongside our first minister, the Prime Minister appears by comparison an historic and towering statesman of European diplomacy, in the mould of Cardinal Richelieu or Prince Metternich.

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        Deal with it, Cynicus, they’re not going to be herded, two by two, into the gas chambers a second time.

        Good to see a virtue signalling stalwart of freedom and progressive values, a self-identifying bonnie fechter for independence, getting right back into the victim blaming they first broke out just over 4 years ago, when the Orcs swarmed into their former colony.

        “Have you seen what this is doing to my bills? Why won’t they just DIE?” went the bleaters then.

      The SNP in Moray have also saddled us with a she/her candidate as well. I think that as many as one third if not more of the traditional SNP vote will just stay at home and not vote at all. Well they wont vote for the English NAZI Reform Party or that NAZI Restore mob – that will be the English Yoon White Settlers doing that.

    Hilarious skewering of The Undertaker currently minding the shop of SNP devo-Unionism. A fine companion piece to the grimmer analysis of Robin McAlpine:

    “Swinney is betraying everything the SNP stands for”

    Robin reminds us that the Swinney tried to sign up the SNP for Blair’s War in 2003. He links that to The Undertaker’s Starmeresque failure to condemn the new monstrous and illegal attack on Iran.

    With pinpoint (ha!) accuracy he denounces.,

    “a war by and for the Epstein Class, in ways more literal than you might imagine. It’s biggest public cheerleaders (senior US and Isr?el figures)”

    On Swinney, who kow-tows to the Epstein class on matters of the Scottish economy and rip -off inward investment, He concludes,

    “I would vote a hundred times for a man of principle I disagreed with rather than a man who has no principle.”

    Me too.

      If you buy into the leftist, ‘woke’, ‘post colonial’, ‘white bad’, ‘we should all pay for slavery’ mindset, you might be right that this attack on Iran is illegal in international law, but you will miss why it was always going to come to this state of affairs the minute the first Ayatollah set foot back in Iran.

      The regime in Iran has murdered hundreds of thousands more people (its own citizens) than the Israelis have done in Gaza, yet no one is out on the streets of the UK and Scotland demonstrating about that. Why? Because it’s not one of the virtue-signalling good causes that the hard of thinking adhere to and demonstrate for – as we can see from the equal lack of interest in the thousands dying in Nigeria, Sudan, Yemen, Congo and elsewhere.

      Why? Because Israel is not involved in those other mass killings and because it has no right in the eyes of many to even defend itself. Does that mean that Gaza was not a slaughterhouse? Of course not. It does mean, however, that Israel (with America) is the Satan du jour of the hard left, while other perpetrators of mass killings, such as the clerics of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Boko Haram, ISIS, the Taliban and others are feted and afforded the status of ‘underdog’.

      The hypocrisy is so blatant that so many appear unable to spot it in themselves. I have heard people actually say that it is no wonder the Middle East and Africa are such a swamp of massacres – all because the whiteys are interfering and want their oil and minerals. Well, those points might well be true, but in no way did the whiteys bring this about because no one over here in any way encouraged the Ayatollahs, or anyone else, to murder their own populations. They manage to do that all by themselves.

      I asked the question further up: what would happen if Iran, as it is, actually developed a nuclear weapon? It would have the absolute ascendancy in the Islamic world, wouldn’t it, and isn’t it Shi’ite? What about the Sunnis? Saudi is a Sunni state. Iran is firing rockets at all the Sunni states in the Gulf; it is firing rockets, and its proxies have been firing rockets, at Israel, for decades. Does anyone in their right mind believe that the Ayatollahs would have refrained from engulfing the Middle East in war if they had a nuclear weapon to threaten everyone, as well. So, why do you think, apart from oil and minerals, would both Israel and America attack Iran? If Iran developed a nuclear weapon, as I have said before, Saudi or Egypt, but, probably, Saudi, would have to be given a nuclear programme to rebalance the Middle East.

    On a different subject, seeing as how Scotland’s most famous half son is single-handedly changing the course of world history, why isn’t Scotland making more of the connection? Why isn’t there a Trump visitor centre on Lewis and a Trump Trail around Tong?

    Millions of dollars potential tourist income lost every year because Scots prefer to greet into their drams, rather than show some entrepreneurial spark.

    Ah, the preposterous Swinney; the man who would be king, and his own court jester all at once; the humourless joker in the pack; the egregore of Scottish mundanity embodied in a suit of plain human cloth, and not a hint of plaid; the pale, and alas not terrible, Vlad McDracul feeding on the life blood of drowsy Scotland and the sleeping Scots; the meek and whispered Scottish croak of England; the cludgie-stane of Scotland’s destiny; the banner of hopeless; the emblem of subjugate; the sigil of oppress, the symbol of Scotland’s whine, the lickspittle haun-lickin creatur o Westminster.

    It would be nice if Swinney modelled his public persona on the fictional John Wick and kept his mouth shut 99% of the time; not that he’d be a better leader because of it… but it would make his ‘leadership’ of Scotland a tiny bit more bearable.

    The word ‘war’ lends a kind of undeserved dignity to the barbarous killing of human beings we witness in America’s last stumbling swagger aboot the planet before its empire finally dies.

    There’s a kind of stoical Humphrey Bogart courage and doughty British righteousness to the idea of war as remembered through the lens of last century’s second world yin.

    Not this current, televised show-war, tho.

        Maybe aye, maybe naw.

        I see little evidence the current crop of voters possess enough common sense and maturity to handle unpleasant truths.

        The fundamental truth that the majority of voters won’t face is that there is no combination of future events that avoids most of us getting a heck of a lot poorer.

        Which is why the sellers of snake oil, both on the left and on the right, are seeing so much popularity from their messages, which roughly summarised amount to “Vote for me and YOU AND YOUR TRIBE will get richer, because I’ll take money from the OTHER TRIBES”.

        Distilled essence of Guardian BTL thought, as has been imbibed daily for decades by the socialist faithful.

        Sold under a different label up here, with a thistle and tartan banding, bottled locally by the Indy movement, but exactly the same stuff.

        And now, of course, being decanted into their own bottles by Reform, Your G@za Party, the Water Melons, and the rest.

    John Swinney says he will hold another referendum only because he is sure that the SNP will not have a majority, and, if he has to sabotage things, if things look as if they might deliver a majority, he will find another cause like Sturgeon’s to ensure that nothing happens on that front. Power is what the SNP is all about, and hanging on to it, so, assuming no majority is reached, he will ally with the Greens again or run a minority government. Not everything the SNP does is bad, but allying with the Greens will ensure that madness a la Scotch continues: ‘trans’ and queer ideology; net zero; and open borders.

    This may well be an illegal war in the sense that it has not been sanctioned by the UN, but think about it. Had Iran been allowed to continue its proxy terrorism and to also continue its nuclear programme at the same time, what could have been the likely outcome? Well, imagine that a nuclear weapons system had been built in Iran, how would the world have coped with that, given the Ayatollahs propensity for exporting terror, especially in the Middle East?

    For starters, it would have declared its intention to wipe out Israel, and no one would be in a position to stop them because, you know, that nuclear arsenal. So, what would the West have done? They would have given the nuclear programme to Saudi because they would have had no choice. Iran is majority Shi’ite, while Saudi is majority Sunni. Few in the West get that these two factions of Islam are deep-rooted antagonists, so a war in the region would be more than likely.

    If we are serious about wanting an independent Scotland, we are going to have to become far more pragmatic than we are. All this hard left ‘woke-dokey’ nonsense is going to have to stop. The English-hating is also going to have to stop. We will be entering a very different geopolitical world than we have been used to, and realism and pragmatism will have to come to the fore. Whether we like it or not, England will be our ally in future, as will the rest (mostly) of the West. The rest of the world, we will have to negotiate with as events arise and start understanding grown-up politics.

        I don’t have my copies of Fanon and Memmi to hand to check, but don’t you usually claim, along with those who agree with you, that those who disagree are colonised?

        Does this mean that far from being a binary condition, we need a third descriptor for people like yourself who are technically colonised, but recognise it? A different separate state from those who are technically colonised but haven’t noticed?

        Both states being distinct from those who are decolonised and those who are uncolonised.

        Hey! This is getting interesting!

      • Lorncal says:

        H McH: the thing about decolonisation is that it rarely turns out the way you thought it might before you embark on the decolonisation. The other thing is that supposedly non colonised states, such as the UK, look pretty colonised. I think they call it multiculturalism, but it is the same thing in the end.

        Except that the UK has been colonised twice over now: once, with gender ideology which paved the way for, and enabled, the second, so-called multiculturalism. Neither, of course, has worked because neither is integrated into the mainstream or assimilated – integration and assimilation being absolute prerequisites for a harmonious existence in a multicultural state.

        You can keep your religion – so long as it never becomes paramount – and your culture – so long as it does not seek to dominate or jar, because they, combined, become just another form of colonisation. So long as you rub along with the underlying cultural norms and loose religiosity of the host state, you will have no problems and create none for said host state.

        Deviate from those and we are in confrontation land, an inevitable consequence of slack governance and ‘woke’ policies. The new wave of ‘liberalism’, which is authoritarian and even totalitarian, and is, indeed, post modernism and queerism combined, will create, if allowed to flourish for much longer, the very optimal conditions for a civil war between realism and delusion, creating in its turn, the most optimal conditions for a colonisation of the kind that harks back to earlier times: “First they came for the Jews…”

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        Excellent points, Lorncal.

        Both gender woowoo and multiculturalism have another thing in common – we, the people, were never asked if we wanted them.

        And, ever since they were rammed down our throats without our permission, we, the people, have always made it crystal clear, each time we were asked, that the majority of us still don’t want them.

        Gender woowoo and multiculturalism differ, though, in that whilst the former is in some kind of (reluctant) retreat, the latter is still very much on the charge. It has yet to reach critical mass, but the indications (such as the recent WM bye-election result) show that can’t be far off.

        We can argue about the extent to which Scotland is colonised by England, but we can all see very clearly that on the definition that colonisation is occupying a place and diverting its resources to the benefit of the occupiers, the entire UK is undergoing a process of aggressive colonisation.

        If we don’t accept and acknowledge that, then even post-Indy, the aggressive colonisation will continue in Scotland.

        And the Scotland that Indy was supposed to protect and preserve will be lost.

      • Alf Baird says:

        “Surely, for the colonised, it is always “our” government?”

        Not so. Since annexation in 1707 Scots remain subject only to English governance and English laws. Holyrood is merely a subordinate legislature of Westminster with the latter in control of its Acts, and the so-called ‘Scottish Government’ is a UK spending department run by Whitehall appointed civil servants.

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        “Scots remain subject only to English governance and English laws”

        So there is no such thing as Scots Law, Alf?

        Michty! You’ve just told me I don’t own my flat.

        But wait, assuming you have a property and live in Scotland, neither do you!

        Tell you what. Every former crim banged up by a Scottish Court, convicted of breaking Scots Law, is gonna be celebrating today. Mucho compo coming their way. Bonanza time for practitioners of English Law as they sue on behalf of their countless clients.

      • Alf Baird says:

        “So there is no such thing as Scots Law”

        Institutions in a colony serve only the Imperial Crown.

        Simply because the colonizer labels institutions something else does not make it so.

        Loss of sovereignty means the colonized are ‘out of the game’.

        That its what so many independence supporters do not appear to get: being independent will not automatically eliminate the overarching problems we face from ‘woke’, hard left authoritarianism. It cannot be a panacea. I look at Ireland and everything that many people gave their lives for has been squandered on the altar of postmodernism – i.e. the dismantling of Western culture. Yes, like it or not, we are all part of the greater Western culture – and we are being dismantled by ourselves.

        When I saw the bams out on the streets celebrating October 7 four years ago, and, now, calling for jihad against the West, I saw that we are being destroyed by our own. Every sin in the world is laid at the door of Israel, then the West. Nobody anywhere else ever did anything wrong or does anything wrong. It is a form of psychological self-flagellation that is destroying a thousand years of Western cultural civilisation and inviting another Holocaust. Even as a teenager and young 20 something, I was wiser than that, as were my peers. What has happened to so many of or young people that they have become tantruming bairns well into their third decade? Why have they not grown up as normal?

    ALBA CONTINUATION GROUP WELCOMES MACASKILL’S POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT

    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release

    Alba Continuation Group Welcomes MacAskill Engagement as Members Raise £25,000 in 48 Hours.

    Hopes for Scottish independence in the next Parliament through the election of Alba MSPs on the list have been strengthened following constructive engagement with Kenny MacAskill after recent correspondence. The dialogue marks meaningful progress toward a clear, democratic and constitutional way forward for Alba.

    Support for Alba’s continuation has also been demonstrated practically by members and supporters, who have raised £25,000 in just 48 hours to ensure the party’s democratic structures and voice can continue to operate effectively.

    In his latest communication, Mr MacAskill acknowledges that a full indemnity has now been offered, removing any financial risk from the current Alba leadership. He also sets out a number of constitutional and financial questions requiring clarification. These questions are legitimate and reflect the seriousness of the responsibilities involved. They provide not an obstacle, but a structured and democratic route to resolving outstanding matters transparently and credibly.

    Commenting, Angus Brendan MacNeil said:

    “Keir Starmer might deny the Scottish people a referendum on Scotland’s future but a vote on Alba’s future must be given to the Alba membership.

    “I am pleased with Kenny MacAskill’s positive response in looking for a democratic path given his, and his colleagues, liabilities are removed if the transition happens. Central to this pathway is democratic legitimacy. Any transfer of responsible officer roles, as defined by the Electoral Commission, must command the confidence of members.

    That legitimacy can be secured straightforwardly through an online ballot of members organised efficiently and transparently. Such a ballot would provide a clear democratic mandate from the membership, ensuring that any organisational changes rest on firm constitutional foundations.

    “It must also be recognised that there is no constitutional or democratic legitimacy for the deregistration of Alba without the explicit consent of its members. A political party ultimately belongs to its members, not to a small group of office holders and I feel Mr MacAskill’s is looking to respect that principle.

    “Also the response from members and supporters, raising £25,000 in just 48 hours, demonstrates clearly that there remains strong commitment to Alba’s role within Scotland’s independence movement.

    “This moment represents a crossroads. By choosing a democratic, member-led route, Alba can rebuild confidence, strengthen credibility and position itself to stand at the forthcoming Scottish Parliament election — a vital step in Scotland’s independence journey.

    “With unity, transparency and democratic endorsement from members, Alba can enter the next Parliament as a principled advocate for Scotland’s constitutional future.”

    ENDS.

      Interesting, Fearghas, but I’m afraid I no longer trust Alba – I’m not entirely sure I ever did.

      The refusal of its leadership, so far, to align Alba with the “Alliance to Liberate Scotland” movement makes me deeply suspicious of their true motives.

      I can’t dismiss the feeling that Alba was Salmond’s attempted revenge on the SNP for its despicable treatment of him and nothing more.

      I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. And the enemy was in us.

      The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days as I’m sure Alec will be, fighting with Nikki for possession of my soul.

      There are times since, I’ve felt like the child born of those two.

      But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what’s left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.

        You are right Northcote that the enemy is within us.

        It is in every one of us to a greater or lesser extent and for different reasons. Optimism can turn to despair. Enthusiasm cand turn apathy. The perception of having power to change can turn to the perception of having no power and no ability to change anything.

        The enthusiasm optimism and feeling that people could change things was utterly extant in the Yes campaign. People collegiately in big numbers felt that, believed that, and strove for that.

        But a dark enemy lay around us. The state, the dark state of our colonial masters lay all around us. They could not let 2014 happen again. And so the mass movement, the SNP was insidiously dismantled.

        People in the SNP were turned. Sleepers in the SNP were activated. Salmond was taken out. The deep tentacles were flexed. And slowly but surely the mechanisms were used to turn the independence juggernaut whilst undermining the movement.

        Just look at the SNP now. A party that once had 56 out of 59 Scottish Westminster seats. A party in control of the Hollyrood party. A Yes movement powerful and strong. And a country where now its language, it societal culture, its ethnic mix, its institutions are being changed to make it ever more part of Northern Britain.

        Alex Salmond to his absolute credit understood. He and others created Alba and in 2021 recommended voting SNP and Alba 2. That would have delivered an absolute independence super majority with sixty odd SNP and around twenty to thirty Alba.

        Instead the SNP promoted SNP 1 and 2 and some 1,093,000 delivered 2 SNP regional seats. And thereafter Alex Salmond was taken out by dark charges against him.

        So where do people go in a democratic proces that has been utterly neutered.

        When you reflect it becomes quite clear how we have got to where we are. An enemy within and all with a little help from our friends.

        But you no what. The dream has not died. Just the mechanics of achieving it have withered. But, difficult as it may appear to many Spring will come again.

        The establishment decapitation strategy will fail. New buds will appear and blossom will return.

      • Alf Baird says:

        Yes Northcode, ‘unity’ is imperative if an oppressed people are to succeed in the critical final phase of decolonization.

        Alba sought to be a political alternative to the compromised SNP, rather than forming part of a peoples liberation movement with one goal:

    To compare colonisation wth immigration is a false equivalence.

    Here is a modern definition of colonialism:


    [colonialism] depends first and foremost upon the declaration of sovereignty and/or territorial seizure by a core state over another territory and its inhabitants who are classified as inferior subjects rather than equal citizens.

    Colonial empires thus consist of a single core state exercising direct control and declaring sovereignty over multiple territories and people.”

    (Osterhammel Reference Osterhammel1999; Go Reference Go2011: 5–12; Arneil Reference Arneil2023).

    And here is a definition of immigration contrasted with colonisation.


    Immigration is moving into an existing country to live within its society, while colonization is taking control of a territory and imposing a new political, economic, or cultural system.

    This aligns with definitions describing immigration as entering a country for permanent residence and colonization as establishing a colony.

    Colonialism and immigration are distinct concepts, though both involve people moving across geographic spaces, their motives, structures, and consequences differ fundamentally.

    In short:

    Colonialism = exertion of control and domination over one people for benefit of another, often systematically imposed.

    Immigration = voluntary relocation into another society, generally within its legal and social framework.

    They are not the same, although historical and structural intersections (as with Scotland and England) can complicate interpretations.

    An analogy might be: moving as a family to live in a new country is immigration; sending colonists with the backing of a state to assert control over the land and resources of another people is colonialism… which is what we see happening in Scotland.

        Easy to answer.

        Unable to build a solid, reliable majority in favour through the ballot box, and thus unable to democratically garner the popular political legitimacy that could bring Independence into being, the movement has embarked on a series of increasingly dislocated and irrelevant efforts to piggy back Independence onto international events.

        Supporting and siding with RF aggression and neo-colonialist imperialism, thus fatally wounding its own efforts to build a case and sympathy for England’s claimed colonisation of Scotland.

        Supporting the murderous, misogynistic barbarities of the Ham Ass scum, thus alienating women in particular and any Scot generally opposed to the kidnap, torture, murder and incarceration of completely innocent people.

        Supporting the medievalists in the ME whose sworn intention is genocide of the Jews, thus exposing the clear links between certain strands of the Indy movement and the ancient scourge of antisemitism.

        There you go, Cynicus. I note you’re too feart, embarrassed and ashamed to answer your own question, but remember:

        When they killed nationalism, which was the intellectual foundation of the independence movement, the latter was always going to wither and die.

        We want independence because we are a nation. The Scots are a distinct people occupying a particular territory who should govern ourselves.

        A mere accident of geography that’s delighted to be colonised by foreigners doesn’t need independence. When the SNP stopped being nationalist, they became just another woke joke party that has no reason to exist other than self advancement for the least impressive Scottish (and ‘Scottish’) people you’ve ever heard of.

        Scotland free or a desert. If Scots aren’t nationalist, if we don’t care enough about Scotland to put her first, our nation will not survive the 21st century.

    Having watched the news where it was announced with some fanfare that Shabana Mahmood had proposed that certain immigrants should be awarded £40,000 to return home , I felt I had to respond to this lunacy, so I wrote to my MP’s and MSP’s the following

    I am ouItraged after listening to the home secretary Shabana Mahmood on a news broadcast announcing that she was proposing awarding certain categories of immigrants £40,000 to leave Britain and return to their original homelands

    Surely she was playing a April fools joke on the electorate even although it is only March

    If not , is she unaware of the decades of AUSTERITY that has been IMPOSED on the electorate by a series of incompetent governments the latest incompetents being the Labour party

    It is incomprehensible that it has escaped Ms Mahmood that people who have lived under this incompetence and abject stupidity have not suffered egregiously financially and socially whilst politicians play fast and loose with our taxes , it may not impact our politicians or Ms Mahmood to the same extent on their generous salaries and gold plated pensions , but I can assure anyone interested that awarding certain immigrants £40,000 to leave Britain will not endear the political class to the electorate

    How does ANY politician believe that this handout will be treated as acceptable by an electorate that is struggling to pay their rent , their mortgage , their increasing food bills , their increasing energy bills , their increasing fuel bills , ALL these things and more on a depleted and devalued income caused by said incompetent governments

    This announcement and others was made in an effort to address and SILENCE the outrage of the electorate at the continued FAILURE of this and previous governments to control and stem the inflow of what appears to be a vast exodus of peoples from war ravaged countries which the uk previously and presently participated and participates in

    The ongoing endemic FAILURE to address the immigration problem will not be solved by this bribery initiative but it will most certainly rapidly inflame the anger and resentment of the electorate who are struggling to make ends meet and who will ultimately pay for this crass insult to their intelligence through their taxes

      link to archive.is
      =============
      You are using the term, “fag“, in the American rather than the Etonian or cigarette sense. From the link to The Atlantic piece, there is no evidence of this. It takes serious psychoanalytical imagination to see Hegseth’s many sexual assaults -all on women- as compensation for, “queerness“!

      The Atlantic misses an important trick on the coarseness of the preposterous Hegseth. The brutality of his language is not merely that of a sycophantic clown mimicking his boss; It is even worse than George W’s on Iraq, a staggering ignorance of the cultural milieu into which he has blundered. To what extent is this due to the womanising piss-head becoming a Christian Nationalist?

      In any event, his bloodthirsty threats will be music to the ears of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps with their Shi’ite martyrdom complex. To be slain by the hand of an infidel is the surest meal ticket to Paradise for a believer.

        HEGSETH is rather obsessed with masculinity, online links reinforce that by his dislike of homosexuality. Were the Atlantic to take the thing further it would probably be closed down by the régime.
        Soft peddling on his case, however, is not something Freud would do.
        Hegseth gives himself away by his solace drinking, clumsy womanizing, when drunk presumanly, and trying to appear tough. He is immature in his behavior patterns.
        Suppressed or latent or whatever he fits a classic type psychiatrists might recognize.
        His evangelical christian nationalist pastor friends are also rather suggestive of deep seated angst.
        Apart from that he does not seem a man with much in the way of intellect.

        The Franchise Fanny must have been enraged that all these Edinburghers of schemie origin had actually protested in the Edinburgh streets at the number of immigrants being allowed into the hallowed grounds of Edinburgh and the preference and priority given to them for housing over the local working classes , he must have been horrified that these moonhowlers and nativists would stray into his area and disturb one of his dinner parties

        Maybe the Franchise Fanny was thinking that the upsurge in inflow of immigrants was beneficial for the middle classes because it increased the amount of cheap labour available and he personally could benefit from it (off books) as he needs carers for his in laws , the downside is that he would have to worry about his wife and daughters safety as these young males are renowned for their reproductive capabilities whether requested or not

        Surely it is Karma that the Franchise Fanny and his inlaws bolted from England to Scotland to avoid the hordes of third world rejects and all of a sudden they appear down their street

    Well that was a bit special as Scotland beat France at Murrayfield in what has to be one of the greatest matches of the modern era. Not sure what Fannon and the rest would think about it and don’t care. If you cant’ enjoy watching the young people of your country delivering a massive result like this you need to take a hard look at yourself.

      OK David

      I agree.

      But what about the manager and coaching staff?

      Unless I miscounted fingers (and apologies if I have) then what exactly do they think the subs bench is for?

      The team played their hearts out and should have been reinvigorated with “fresh legs” long before the tired last 16 minutes took its 3 opposition tries toll. Another fifteen minutes and who knows what the score would have been.

      That French bonus point may just undo us.

      Use subs, it’s what they are there for.

      Maybe thinking has changed in over 40 years since I last played..

      The dominant national party elite sitting in the colonizer’s parliaments do suffer from a kind of ‘petrifaction’, lacking ‘courage at the decisive moment’, fearing ‘the colonizer’s tanks and planes’, according to Fanon.

      Which helps explain Sturgeon & Swinney ‘taking the people up a blind alley’, and ‘rupturing the movement’, making ‘an accommodation with colonialism’, and only ever mentioning independence just prior to elections:

      Seriously though, the best justification for the latest war I’ve read is that Iran was well on its way to achieving the critical mass of missiles and drones at which military defeat would have been impossible. And thus, a pre-emotive strike was inevitable.

      The corollary is that for Scotland to be Independent, we need to determine the critical mass of missiles and drones we will need, the raw materials and production facilities we will need, and the economy we will require to pay for it all. Without these essentials, re-colonisation by the local hegemon will be inevitable.

      Fit’s that ye say? We’ll be loved by all?

      Not with our religion of peace following New Scots pulling the strings. They can’t stop themselves issuing fatwas, swearing holy vows of extermination, and classifying unbelievers as untermensch. It’s in their DNA.

        Twinned with “Scots For Dummies”, Alf.

        Who knew that the Scots for zombie is zombie, the Scots for tree is tree, the Scots for domination is domination, and that the Scots for colonial is colonial?

        Doesn’t that mean even Scots post-colonialists are still colonised. That’s if the Scots for post is post.

        Imagine being so colonised you don’t even have your own word for colonised?

        Truly, Alf, the mind boggles.

      • Alf Baird says:

        The Anglo dominated and assimilated colonial mindset certainly ‘boggles’ with illusions of cultural superiority, as Hatey ower Scotland aye attempts tae de-base us colonized Scots.

        The term ‘zombie’ comes from Haitian folklore, not English.

        The term ‘colony’ comes from the Latin word ‘colonia’; and ‘dominate’ also comes from the Latin ‘dominatus’. English and other languages merely borrowed them.

        And, just to remind colonial-minded Scots, the unique Scots term for ‘oppressed’ is ‘doun-hauden’.

        The English word ‘oppressed’ is also borrowed, from the Latin ‘oppressus’, meaning to squeeze or suffocate; as in the Anglo ‘colonial corset’ aye suffocating Scots.

        Nul pints tae Hatey ower Scotland agin!

        BTW, surely nae True Scot drinks pints? Doesn’t Scots have its own measure?

      • Alf Baird says:

        To add, in relation to Northcode’s correct use of the Scots word ‘dummie’, which refers to in English ‘a dumb person’; as in ‘see yon dummie ower thair’.

        Which seems to fit again in this instance of Hatey’s imagined English language superiority; and to those suffering from a colonial mindset generally which clearly has a ‘dumming’ (Scots spelling) effect on the mind of the colonized, rendering them ‘zombie-like’, more or less.

        Which really does help explain the Scots ‘No’ vote(r)!

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        “Which really does help explain the Scots ‘No’ vote(r)”

        Great. Did anybody ask for that explanation?

        But why don’t you answer the question that was asked?

        Why does the colonised’s language have no word for the coloniser’s word “colonised”.

        I thought Fanon, Memmi and the Jonesy boyo said that you have to decolonise? Why not start with language, Alf?

        Why do you let the coloniser shape the thoughts in your heid and the words you commit to paper?

      • Alf Baird says:

        “Why do you let the coloniser shape the thoughts in your heid”

        The colonized cannot prevent it, and that is how colonialism works, Hatey, whereby the colonizer ‘manufactures the colonized being’ (Memmi). How did ye think Scots (or Irish, Indians, Africans etc) were makkit intae identifying as English-Brits, by magic?

        As Cesaire wrote, ‘colonialism is based on psychology’, which tells us that we are dealing here primarily with a psychological condition rather than merely political or economic concerns, which is what all our political commentators forget:

      Sad, indeed. The corrupted SNP leadership will be cheering, no doubt.

      The SNP members have no mechanism to remove the gravy trainers nor infiltrators so we, the people, have to put up with this shower for another 5 years of incompetence and worse. Time is too short for alternative candidates and parties to make much of an impact in May, I fear. But battle on, we must. And hope that the UN Liberation Scotland campaign bears fruit sooner rather than later.

      As for the places so many of them come from being shitholes. It’s a simple truth. If they weren’t shitholes, the inhabitants would stay put.

      If it’s any consolation, our newcomers are working assiduously to turn what we have here into an equivalent shithole to the ones they vacated. If they succeed, the “pull factor” will undoubtedly end.

    Alba no more a day of mixed emotions. The launch of Alba looked hopeful and the SNP 1 Alba 2 ticket made a lot of sense which is why the SNP ignored it. I almost joined but after the heavy handed slap down of Sarah Salyers and continued sinking of the boot by among others Barrhead Boy who seemed to be a self appointed attack dog I did not. Once Alex Salmond was gone the writing was on the wall. The departure of a group of former SNP members who ran the good guys campaign to get some form of accountability back on the SNP executive was also a red flag. A lot of good people put a lot of effort into Alba and I am sorry how it panned out. I even voted for them on the list and SNP 1 and got Jenny Minto for my trouble. RIP Alba.

        Do not expect the rotten and corrupt grifters of the SNP devo- unionists to deliver that. We need a genuine pro-independence party that means serious business which entails sticking it to the YOONs at Westminster.

        That is wrong. Holyrood is not a parliament. It is an administration.

      As you say Roddy was very vitriololic and dismissive about SALVO and I and others argued with him about it but he continued to denigrate it , all of a sudden he now supports it

  75. sarah says:

    @ Geri at 10.57: “Holyrood …has zero power to legislate for a referendum.”

    But it can hold an election on a single issue e.g. that the electorate wants to give Holyrood the legislative competence to facilitate the exercise of Scotland’s right of self-determination. See the Manifesto for Independence.

    Being at Westminster doesn’t give us any greater power – 59 [or less] MPs won’t convince the other 600 MPs to release us! They don’t want to release us because they would be made to look very foolish internationally, and they would freeze without our energy resources.

    Either Westminster accepts the Claim of Right or it doesn’t. At the moment it seems they do because Charles Windsor had to swear under it in order to begin the process of becoming King of Scots. [He hasn’t completed the process yet.] So it “just” takes an assertion from a representative body in Scotland that the people have made their decision under the Claim of Right to leave this false Union: a Holyrood election does satisfy that condition. We merely require the right people in sufficient numbers to be MSPs.

    Reply
    • Aidan says:

      Of course that’s total nonsense, such a declaration would have no effect in law at all. The claim of right does not provide Holyrood to declare Scotland to be independent. The courts have considered the issue of Holyrood’s powers to hold an independence referendum AND the claim of right comprehensively and recently.

      What Holyrood COULD do, as Andy Ellis has pointed out many many times (to much wailing and nashing of teeth) is to hold a snap election with a promise that should a majority vote in the list vote for pro-independence candidates, then Holyrood will declare Scotland to be independent. Now to be clear U.K. law does not provide for that, so it would be a political rather than a legal declaration, and therefore may not work, but it has the best chance.

      It is definitely a better plan than inventing absurd legal theories which have no chance of being recognised by the courts, or trying to persuade the UN to force the U.K. to hold a second referendum.

        The hope is not “to persuade the UN to force the UK …etc”. It is that the UN C24 will decide that Scotland is a non self governing territory – a colony.

      • Aidan says:

        That’s not true – administering states over NSGT’s do have obligations under international law to help those territories achieve self-government. It’s a moot point anyway as Scotland doesn’t meet the criteria for an NSGT.

        Hang on…. haven’t yer overlords said there is no such thing as international laws? They’re completely stumped when asked this very question.

        It’d seem rather odd they’d suddenly remember it later eh?

        Scotland is in a VOLUNTARY union. A union it can leave any time of its choosing. It can declare UDI. It can hold a ref on JOINING the UK. When 56 MPs were elected to Westminster it was within their powers to declare UDI & walk out. Even Thatcher said so.

        The court only ruled on their wee outpost. Not on Scots.

      • Aidan says:

        Your wee Supreme court print out. Read clause 81.

        You’re welcome.

      • Aidan says:

        The Supreme Court produces around 60 judgements a year, you’ll have to indicate which one (it’s also not a clause btw)

      • Geri says:

        Here’s a brief summary:

        The UK Supreme Court ruled that a lawful referendum on Scottish independence, as proposed in the draft Scottish Independence Referendum Bill, would be a major political event with significant consequences, even if it had no direct, immediate legal effect. Such a referendum would represent a democratic expression of the Scottish electorate, impacting the legitimacy of the Union and the independence movement.

        Key points regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on the proposed referendum:

        Political Significance: The court concluded that a referendum on independence is not just a legal exercise but a significant “political event”.

        Impact on the Union: Regardless of its legal status, a referendum would either strengthen or weaken the democratic legitimacy of the Union and the UK Parliament, influencing the independence movement’s standing.

        Scope of the Bill: The Court held that the proposed Bill’s purpose was to test public opinion on a reserved matter—the Union—and thus, it exceeded the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.

        Democratic Expression: The outcome, whether a “Yes” or “No” vote, would hold immense authority within a democracy as a direct expression of the Scottish people’s will.

        Even without a direct legal obligation on the UK Government to act, a “Yes” vote could have created immense political pressure for secession, while a “No” vote might have temporarily settled the question. The Supreme Court’s decision highlighted that the political, rather than just the legal, consequences were central to the issue.

        Are you suggesting the ballot box isn’t legal?

        They state otherwise.

        **Such a referendum would represent a democratic expression of the Scottish electorate, impacting the legitimacy of the Union**

        **would hold immense authority within a democracy**

        All Scotland has to do is to turn every single election to the UK parliament a YES seat & declare independence on a majority. The ballot box holds legal authority. The vote has already been cast. The express will already demonstrated..

        Or what is it you goons like to say?

        “The will of the people have spoken!” Aye, that was it..

        You seem to be under the illusion that the Supreme English Court ruled Scotland would be going nowhere. It didn’t. It only ruled that Holyrood, (Englands outpost/branch office) couldn’t legislate a ref & that was a shock to absolutely no-one in the independence movement. Holyrood is not a Scottish parliament. It’s an English administration.

        Westminster is where Scots hold authority, in a VOLUNTARY political union.

        You hack kack aww authority in Scotland. Zero, NADA, none. The Scottish people are sovereign. That remains or the Union is void.

      • Aidan says:

        You clearly haven’t read the case or understood it if you have. It is explicitly stated in the judgement that the referendum would not has the force of law, read paragraph’s 78 to 81, where the following important phrase is included several times: “That legislative framework is put in place because the result of a lawfully held referendum is a matter of importance in the political realm, even if it has no immediate legal consequences”.

        The point of the judgement is that it would have significant political consequences, but it is never stated or implied anywhere that a vote would, by operation of law, end the union automatically. In fact, the exact opposite is explicitly stated!

        Oh right, so it started off as “this proves my point” and we are now on “this has nothing to do with my point”. Of course it has everything to do with your nonsense: the case confirms that they only lawful way that the union can be dissolved is by an act of the westminster parliament, requiring a vote of at least a majority of MP’s in Westminster, so once again you make a complete idiot of yourself by proudly signposting us to authority that totally contradicts and debunks your argument.

        It’d help if you also tried some breathing exercises before you jump in all rabid. You continually conflate Holyrood & Westminster together.

        I’ll spell it out again..

        Scotland wins a pro indy majority of seats in Westminster = game over.

        Scotland can refuse to sit in those seats & declare UDI. The ballot box has authority. Scotland will have expressed it’s will. A “significant event” would have already taken place.

        It’d be up to the English to make itself look an arse the international stage at trying to deny it.

        Aware too that when the war in the east really kicks off, they occupy strategically important territory, so as with Adolf in WW2, the Orcs will invade to seize it.

        Very familiar with what a ("Quizmaster" - Ed) is, for obvious reasons.

    • Alf Baird says:

      Yes sarah, a majority of nationalist elected members of a colonial parliament are meant to declare independence and liberate a colonized people from exploitation and oppression, for that is their primary purpose. This is also a well established method of decolonization, i.e. independence. And this is precisely what the Alliance to Liberate Scotland propose.

      Swinney’s gang of imposters would have difficulty wriggling out of that, for they would clearly be seen to be siding with the colonizer and ‘sacrificing the people’ (Cesaire) by refusing to declare independence. This is essentially what the SNP/Greens have been doing since 2015, wasting several successive ‘nationalist’ majorities based on spurious excuses.

      This also explains why our oppressor is keen to ensure the SNP never quite wins a majority of seats at Holyrood, and hence the crazy SNP 1+2 approach. But with Regional list nationalist MSPs of other bona fide nationalist parties added (not Greens obviously!) this should be easily achievable. Greens appear to be used by the oppressor power to prevent a bona fide ‘nationalist’ majority intent to declare independence.

That is why a majority of independence MSPs must declare UDI immediately if a majority for independence is reached. Perfectly democratic, but we need that majority. Much as I want independence, I would not push it unless a majority wanted it, which means making it clear that a vote for any member of the Alliance is a vote for independence – as would be a vote for the SNP on the constituency. A SNP vote on the List is a wasted vote. This could have been done in the elections following 2014. Sadly, we were not organised enough. Granted, a referendum would be the most democratic way, but we know that will not happen again.

        2011
        “The Scottish National party has won a majority in the Holyrood elections – a dramatic result that will allow its leader, Alex Salmond, to hold a historic referendum on independence for Scotland.

        After a series of astonishing victories over Labour and a collapse in the Liberal Democrat vote, the SNP leader saw a landslide for his party take it beyond the 65-seat mark. Holyrood has 129 seats.”

        Cause Alex asked the electorate two separate questions.

        #SNP1 – to govern.
        #SNP2 – to remain as FM.

        #SNP1 – to govern.

      “We merely require the right people in sufficient numbers to be MSPs.”

      MSPs and MPs swear fealty to the King of England / UK head of state, so they can exercise devolved “English Crown in WM Parliamentary sovereignty” and be paid to do so.

      To put it another way: MSPs are servants of their sovereign King of England.

      So what’s Liberate’s referendum choices?

      A: Vote for me if you believe Scots are sovereign and can become independent without WM consent.

      B: Vote for me and I will swear fealty to the King of England / UK head of state as my Sovereign Overlord so I can exercise my sovereign King of England’s power as an MSP servant.

      IF that’s the position of Liberate, it’s no a plebiscite election / referendum: it’s I also want to be yet another British MSP.

    And so we are well into the second week of chaos in the middle east which shows no sign of abating. And now the economic reality of the disruption of oil and gas and much more is becoming clear.

    If the Americans thought the price of eggs were expensive the oil price shocks will very soon rattle them to their very core.

    And over here in good old blighty similar if not much worse is due to come. Oil prices at the pups are already up around 9% in many fuel stations. And that is only the start. Prices are set for lift off and everything will cost much much more. We’ll not be concerned about eggs, that’s for sure.

    And gas, something that Scotland had along with oil, where is that now. Well if reports are accurate, the UK is running low on gas.

    Typically the UK can have up to 12 days reserves of gas which is principally stored in big caverns in the north of England and by line packing the network. But its winter, LNG is cut off from the middle east and the suggestion is that between the jigs and the reels and because it is winter reserves are down to around 2 days. The HM government issued a statement yesterday to say that everything was fine but with over 20% of the worlds oil and gas cut off and the conflagration spreading one might have grounds to suspect that HM Government statement not being quite accurate.

    This looming world economic crisis may well be why there are rumours circulating that Trump and the USA military may be planning a tactical nuke attack on Iran.

    Over recent days here in Scotland we have seen heavy bomber after bomber landing in Prestwick for fuelling before flying on wards to the English, but very much US air bases of Lakenheath and Fairford

    And so with heavy bombers of all types what brings this armada of air attack power to our shores. Lakenheath for example is well known as a nuclear attack facility.

    In the mind of Donald Trump tactical nuclear might make much sense. The USA dropped two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki back in 1945 to send a message. Within 24 hours of Nagasaki the emperor of Japan surrendered, the message well understood not just but Japan but potentially to Stalin and the USSR.

    Would the USA try such a stunt again. Well I for one do believe that the Trump regime would try the same strategy. And that I am afraid puts the potential for economic collapse into the small beer category.

    Its truly great being great but from my perspective our best years, and our promised golden era, most certainly do not appear to lie before us.

      & Japan had already surrendered when they dropped those bombs. The only mentalist that’s used them for absolutely no reason whatsoever yet they’ve the biggest gobs on who shouldn’t be allowed to have them cause they’re ummm – not to be trusted.

      America can’t win this war without boots on the ground & I doubt the Kurds will be stupid. America already threw them under a bus in favour of a head chopper.

      Americans need to fck off from Scotland. If England want to take part in an illegal war & illegal bombardments against civilians then piss off & let them refuel in England. This is how these tossers evade International law.

        Geri: Russia is already bogged down in Ukraine and simply cannot afford to fight a second front. They might send a few drones, but it’s doubtful that they could spare boots on the ground.

        Japan had not surrendered although its high command was arguing that it should. The Americans felt that they needed to drop the bombs to show the world what could happen to anyone else who felt inclined to start a war. It was horrible.

        America will not put boots on the ground unless things become very much more desperate. They learned their lesson in Iraq. If they were going to attack Iran, they should have done it when the people rose up last time. It’s not a case of winning, but of crippling Iran enough to make it think twice about its alliance with China, as well as to put a halt to the nuclear programme.

        As per usual – historians are divided.

        Countries confirmed the Japanese approached them seeking an off ramp & contacted them to be a mediator to start peace negotiations. It wouldn’t have been an unconditional surrender tho because they wanted to protect their Emperor & didn’t want invaded & broken up but they were ready to end the war.

        Others claim cause they didn’t contact the USA directly then it wasn’t classed as official communication. Even tho we all know they’ve ears like shithouse rats & listen in to everything.

        Others claim they knew they were wanting to quit but dropped the bomb anyway to flex to the Soviets & show American dominance.

      • Hatey McHateface says:

        Every country has a right to defend itself. It doesn’t take too kindly to the Anglo American Issy boasting it’ll break them up into tiny wee states run by hand selected tyrant puppets while riding roughshod, yet again, over international law & sparking yet another illegal war in its constant quest to destabilise whole regions.

        They’re fighting to protect their Sovereignty. They won’t be balkanised. They’ve stood up to a bully. Nice to know you’d prefer to sit down.

        There’s nothing wrong with me but everything wrong with you if you think this behaviour is still acceptable. It’s up to the people of Iran to change their leader, not some Muppet the other side of the world.

        Lest we forget – they were in negotiations. TWICE America ambushed them as well as carry out assassinatios. Twice they were told they’d agree to all of the two property developers demands. They also had a legal & binding UN agreement over enrichment that Trump tore up.

        They were also the ones sparking civil unrest. It didn’t work. They were also the ones who attacked first.

That’s a war crime to add to the many other war crimes of attacking civilians.

        America can’t even get it’s narrative straight of why, when they were getting all their own way with negotiations, they just attacked them anyway proving it was nothing to do with enrichment, women, democracy or any other of their shit excuses they like to trumpet.

        This is not about whether the EU is good or bad, it is about a sovereign people having the right to decide the form of governance best suited to them.

        Just as Scots are still being blocked by England’s parliament and courts from our right to self-determination.

        In colonial terminology Scots are ‘out of the game’, and made ‘bystanders in our own land’. That is how a colonized people are regarded, as a nobody, an irrelevance, as invalid, and when it suits the doun-hauder/oppressor, as ‘Untermenschen’.

        Yet again, Alf, havers.

        The Scots, as sovereign people, never went into the EU’s precursor.

        It was the UK that went in. It was a treaty between the EU and the UK. It was the UK that left, after a UK vote.

        The time to worry about whether the component parts of the UK should have had separate treaties with the EU was when we went in.

        I stand to be corrected if anybody so much as raised it as an issue at the time. Do correct me if I’m wrong, providing the requisite links.

        “Dragged oot agin oor will” continues to be a synthetic grievance, an offshoot of the “Independence In Europe” trope, foundationed on lies, propagated by those with an ulterior motive, for the befuddlement of eejits.

      • Captain Caveman says:

        “Iran isn’t totalitarian.”

        Oh really, “Geri”? They were literally hosing down thousands of their own innocent men, women and children merely WEEKS ago – to die in the streets of their towns and cities, for having the temerity to exercise free speech and peaceful protest.

        But yeah. Yooookay BAAAAD.

        I know some here are amused by your witless fuckwittery (I’m not one of them and much prefer it when you get another enforced “break”), but even by your own standards that’s off the scale. It’s tempting to think that this is somehow very poor taste satire on your part, but no. You really are THAT thick.

      • Geri says:

        Oh do piss off.

        The whole world knows those protesters were protesting America crushing their economy. Even Bessent, over at the WEF, gloated to the minions that was exactly what they were doing to force regime change. Meanwhile Issy & the CIA sent in operatives to cause trouble, burn mosques & kill law enforcement while TACO was lying & gloating they were on the streets begging for him to come liberate them. They weren’t . It failed. They didn’t overthrow their government. They didn’t start a revolution. They didn’t want the USA – the last time I read any updates – Iran is going to publish every name & nationality of the dead. That will make interesting reading eh?

        The West also can’t seem to get their story straight. First it was enrichment, that failed when they agreed terms. Then it was regime change – that failed. Then it’s cause Yahoo was going to attack so they thought it best to do it for them… Now Taco is attempting the truth – they’re all animals & he’s liberating no one. They’ll be balkanised & he’ll hand pick the puppets…

        When they can’t get their story straight it’s a massive clue they’re lying. If sections of Iran wanted liberated they certainly don’t now after mowing down civilians.

        As per usual, you savages don’t stick to military targets.

        You seem to forget that Iran can communicate to the outside world – unlike the censorship we’re supposed to enjoy in this free country you speak of where the news is heavily suppressesd & filtered by another fuck country thousands of miles away LOL!

    nazis, nazis, nazis – if they didn’t exist, we would invent them to make us look good in comparison; but the more I read I about the british empire the more it hits me –

    we were THE REAL NAZIS all along

    – it’s the tell of the psychopath; they accuse YOU (falsely) of DOING WHAT THEY DID

    concentration camps
    ethnic cleansing
    gen0cide by famine
    slavery
    torture
    lies, propaganda
    dirty dealings
    land grabbing
    looting
    racial supremacy as an ideology
    bombing civilians from the air, dropping incendiaries in the dark
    use of chemical weapons

    that’s your ANGLOS right there

    but it’s alright when we do it : AND WE WROTE THE FUCKING HISTORY BOOKS YA DIM CUNT ! All those fucking oxford p00fs, being impartial and rational, giving an honest account.

    the dirty secret : Adolph FUCKING LOVED THE BRITISH EMPIRE – lives of a bengal lancer with errol flynn his favourite; he never wanted war, he wanted to go “tag team”

    – he was a pure fanboy, why he went easy at dunkirk. He had this racial view which went thus : the english “anglo saxons” are just “germans who took the boat 1000 years ago”, and americans are really just “english who took the boat 300 years ago”. So, all the “white men” are really just germans.

    We are all germans, we will rule the world and do some kind of a deal.

    A dirtier secret, a lot of the english upper class were well into this idea, and not just batty sluts like the mitford sisters, even the royal family (- churchill prevented this, at the behest of the people who were paying his debts). In the aftermath of the war anthony blunt got sent over to germany to “recover” various embarrassing documents. Top. Secret. Mission.

    It all gets murkier when you come across jabotinsky and realise the current issy leaders are all his followers; you make the connection –

    zionism and national socialism are parallel ideologies

    – they both believe in the concept of “the master race”, but simply disagree on who this is

    Given what is happening now and the wider ramifications – I would fill up my fuel tank before prices go nuts (and the oil companies won’t hesitate) – folks need to edumacate themselves; for example this time of year, purim is coming up, has a special significance for the tribalists and their batshit religion (it’s all about esther and persia). The timing is not an accident (and all wars are religious wars). Then you need to do some background reading about – the red heifer, the third temple, the coming of the “moshiach” (antichrist), and the apocalyptic worldview that the powerful cult, the chabad lubavitch, hold. Plenty pics of Trump kissing their arse, and his election victory was credited, by them, to him visiting the rebbe’s grave, the rebbe being mendel schneerson, a truly loathsome individual. No such thing as “anti semitism” – it is called NOTICING, i.e. use of your pattern recognition and bayesian probability filters

    – this apocalyptic worldview squares right in with “christian zionism” with the tribulation, end times, rapture – this is fuckwitted nonsense made up by protestants (catholics don’t believe in all that).

    The trouble with “prophecy” is : it becomes self fulfilling if the powerful believe in it. If the whack-jobs really are in charge, we are fucked, its gamesabogey, but even the rational “international law in the rules based order” types are purest fucking evil, consider the cunning plans of western “liberal democracy” :

    – bomb brown people in foreign lands for bullshit reasons (liberal democracy humanitarian responsibilty to protect womens rights trannyism – never about oil, gold in central banks or geopolitical gangsterism and power moves)

    – import as many of the survivors as you can into western countries for additional bullshit reasons (diverse vibrancy multiculturalism – never about class war, greed, cheap labour, hatred of the indigenous)

    then tell everyone how happy everyone is, despite much evidence to the contrary; double down on anyone who thinks otherwise; set the droogs on them. Call them fascists. Despite being the cunts who are bombing the cunts, we are never fascists, but purveyors of democratic western liberalism with enlightenment values.

    Still, if you can’t beat them, join them; scottish indy needs to contemplate an “ANGLO-SUNG”, in which we can make Scotland, finally free, i.e. ANGLO-FREI

    – ANGLO RAUS!

    It annoys the heck out of colonial globalist, thats satisfying recorded history they cannot contest in of itself.
    And eventually the people of Scotland will pick up on the information and come to terms with the faux situation of the treaty.

    We must remember that it is not just Scotland and Ireland or Wales that have been fooled by the hoax of a supposed treaty, the people of England were also fooled,

    It is of great interest that the people of England have had their borders taken hostage by global laws, that they are not actually part of due to not being linked to Scotland as the parliament of Great Britain.

    It is of note that the people of England lost their Sovereignty of the people to the hoax Great Britain State parliament by transferring not electing, the parliament of England directly into the new branded parliament of Great Britain in 1706/07.

    Geri: the Scottish MPs are outvoted 10 times over and can never, ever affect the Westminster vote. That is just fact based on numbers. Had we won the 2014 referendum, they would have had to acknowledge our right to go and start negotiations, based on the Treaty, to divi up the assets – only the assets because they would shoulder the liabilities in order to remain rUK. Otherwise, the whole kit and caboodle goes and bye bye UK. Scotland gone. Wales gone. N Ireland gone. I suspect, in the event we went, they would, too, post haste, and, truth be told, it would be the best thing that could happen to all four parts, including England.

    It is only in Scotland, and only at Holyrood, that we can withdraw from the Union. As I said, that will require an outright majority of independence seats – and not a tiny majority either, but something above 51%. That is the whole point of the Alliance which, if anyone on here, actually wants to see independence, should be your List vote. If the Alliance can scoop the majority of the List seats and the SNP + any other independence party on the constituency vote (the Alliance will try to contest a few) that will do the job – but UDI must be immediate thereafter, no shilly-shallying.

    That will leave both Westminster and the SNP (and Holyrood) on the back foot, basically confronting Westminster. The SNP would try to not declare independence, probably backed to the hilt by the Unionists, but it will trigger a tsunami of protest if it tries that. Every ballot paper must make it absolutely clear that a vote for any independence party or independence-supporting individual or Alliance candidate is a clear vote for independence. Voting SNP 1 and then, also 2, will deliver stasis, the status quo or put an English nationalist party, like Reform, in the running in Scotland. By the way, Alba refugees should vote Alliance.

    Any woman with a modicum of sense should not vote Green or Lib Dem.
