Something for everyone
After our series of massively successful fundraisers, and the many others we’ve helped push over the line from various distances, as you might imagine we get a lot of people asking us to plug theirs. We can’t do them all, because otherwise we’d be constantly nagging readers for money day after day and that would get really annoying, but for some time now we’ve been keeping a list of those we know about on our Donate page.
As everyone just got paid, though, here’s a special roundup of current ones.
They’re listed in alphabetical order and are mostly pretty self-explanatory in terms of what they’re about. If you’ve got a few spare quid kicking about, pick your favourite cause(s) and see if you can’t do them a wee favour.
This, folks, is what an actual grassroots political movement looks like.

(As a rule, incidentally, our approach is to publicise fundraisers we feel are especially worthy, or which have already proved their appeal by attracting decent sums but need a shove to get the rest of the way before their deadline. If you want us to punt one with a £50,000 target that’s so far made £8.50, the project better be amazing.)
Do you have time left to cook dinner, or is it all meals on wheels?
Couple of quid to each one. Except Dundee, I hate Dundee. I’m kidding I love it. I love Dundee! It’s a good thing.
What about National Collective’s Yestival?
Yes Balloon looks great. Couldn’t they just untether Bliar MacDougal and float him around Scotland?
Yestival. Don’t forget Yestival.
Remember folks, there are lots of perks to be had in return for dontations, like car stickers, badges etc. If you give £20 to the Yes Banners campaign you get a 2′ x 6′ banner.
Yes condoms
Tyran
Yes condoms
Not required.
Good, caring sex ensures the lady says, “Yes, yes, yes!!!”
here’s the yestival link

Thepnr,
Lots ‘n’ lots of photos on the bus please. Let the world see that we are real normal people. (I’m almost tempted to drive to Dundee just so I can get on the Bus)
“Yestival. Don’t forget Yestival.”
I left it out because I only cover trackable fundraisers, which is also why I left the two Newsnet Scotland ones out of the total when I tallied up Yes fundraisers in that article a couple of weeks back. I’ve tweeted it a few times, though.
“Yes” beer mats.
YES beer!
You know what I find really annoying when contributing?
Having to select ‘United Kingdom’ …..
Hows about this : Total Cost £5
Take your old footwear ( flit-flops might be apt for Mr Darling), a sponge, a knife, 2 elastic bands and, a paint tray and a tin of paint.
With knife, carefully half sponge.
Now carve out reverse YES on each half.
Go to busy place and put on footwear.
Using elastic band, attach spnge halves to sole of footwear.
Pour some paint into tray.
Dip sponge into tray.
Walk and spread the word YES all over the pavements.
Repeat until paint finished or you get caught.
*Alternative is YES template on end of a walking stick!
People dont look up, but EVERYONE looks down!
Thanks for promoting the yes trailer campaign Stu,

Scotland No-Moar grousebeater.wordpress
We have got to get that YES balloon off the ground , I mean, Wings and all 🙂
Desimond, you could just carve the reverse YES into the flip flops, rather than attaching sponges.

“You know what I find really annoying when contributing?

I had to give a bank I was phoning for information about a transaction I have with them(Barkley’s bank)personal details for security,
and was asked my nationality, I nearly said British, but stopped my self and said SCOTTISH in fact I liked the sound so much I repeated it and said “I am SCOTTISH”.

Considered that but its helluva complicated, you have to reduce the rest of the flip and the flop to above the stencil. Glue and cardboard stencils may be the way ahead but with my back im thinking Zimmer frame, double dunts 🙂
I plumped for Scotland Yet. Their short film last year was really excellent- better than anything the major TV channels or the Yes campaign have come up with

Something I always done, have done for years. I think every Scot should. Even the ‘proudScot’ ones, every little helps.
BTW ‘gala’ does for short, and well O/T, Galam Cennalath was a Pictish king around 550AD. I have, with considerable uncertainty, traced my ancestry back to him.

Bliar MacDougal is, thankfully , a lead ballon.
Long may he reign.
@ TYRAN
I like that.
Where is. T Jenny when you need her?
Me at 13:35
Incomplete post above.
For an opinion only
Grouse Beater@12.36pm
Lol.
Only 3 yes’s though?…
BetterTogether blitz in the vote no or else Press and Journal. It must cost the shysters a fortune but why oh why oh why is Bliar MacDougal and co splashing all that cash on huge ads for vote NO in a newspaper that does if for them completely free everyday? Another UKOK puzzle that will never be answered. Guaranteed more powers over NHS and schools, security strength longer lasting new improved think big be part of it just do it got to work on an egg etc
Easy money protecting and fighting for the super rich elite of teamGB

Sssh!
A fool and his money are soon …
Could you maybe persuade Acanchi of London to help with fundraising? There are interesting pictures of them at work. My favourites are at the bottom right hand corner here:

I hope they’re not just dead wood.
I like the Banners for Yes one. Having banners in fields up and down the country would be quite pleasing on the eye.

Typical New Labour approach to anything really, chuck loads and loads of cash at something, wait till the desired result has not materialised … then chuck more and more cash at it until the money runs out, then repeat with more cash from credit at Wonga rates until you’ve ramped up a massive amount of debt, then blame someone else for the failure. Move onto next project.
Hi Grouse Beater, I filled out Bliar’s RSVP thing at the back of his vote no grot with “I strongly believe Scotland should be independent from the UK” box ticked but even that’s a shysters con trick. BetterTogetherBBC etc language is all about Smoking is good for you style marketeers cunnng as in –
“More powers are already guaranteed for the Scottish Parliament, with new powers to raise taxes and borrow already transfered to Holywood” and “plans have been put in place which guarantee more powers for the Scottish Parliament from 2016 including more tax raising powers, from 2016 there will be a Scottish rate of income tax, Powers to borrow money…”
Then Jacky Bird, Ponsonby, etc swing in behind that and you get yourself a huge sales pitch that’s flogging a hell of a lot less than you think you’re getting.
Bliar then follows through with “THE NEXT STAGE OF DEVOLUTION” “More power to raise tax without undermining the ability to transfer money to Scotland in times of need, Bringing the delivery of benefits to local areas including things like Housing Benefit”
I swear I’ve not invented any of the above pack of lies. Only the UK thinks it can get away with staggering garbage like this.
Don’t just fund them yourselves, also email the list to your close friends who are strong Yes voters. I’ve created a fund-raising email that I’ve sent around my family – who are all fully committed Yes voters, but don’t spend much time on web-sites.
Hmm, beginning to wish I’d ignored this page, reading has been somewhat to my cost. 😉
All of them are worthy causes, but can I just give a big shout for Thistle and his Scottish Independence Live Events fund? He will be covering CH2 on Friday, and the fund-raising seems to have tailed off recently.
I’d love to see Thistle reach his target. I know a good one when I meet one. He deserves our support.
Is there going to be any fundraising at the counting House II?
…what about a raffle? …Maybe dinner for 2 with Johann Lamont as the top prize? 😀

watching a rerun of FMq’s
Willie Rennie (always a joy)
says
“What will the First Minister say to Scotland after a yes vote and the set up costs are more than he said they would be”?
Willie you weary little get,
if arsehole Alexander says 2.7 billion and Dunleavy says 150 to 200 million, if it turns out to be 350 million who give a right royal flying fuck?
One off set up costs offset by the 1 billion (each and every year) dividend by not paying for the privilege of having a giant target painted on the map of Scotland then it matters not one jot if we build the tax office, the home office and the foreign office with bricks of gold,
we could provide the staff with diamond encrusted phones,and desks,
and never have to listen to your little fweind Danny every again,
THEN IT WILL BE FUCKING WORTH IT,
GOT THAT?
GOOD!
Yes Beer.
Both a cracking idea for a name, and with the simple addition of a comma you could consider it a request.
If only my fledgling brewing was at the stage of doing full scale brew; I don’t think my currently home brewed hoppy IPA is going to generate quite enough beer… not doing it in 23 litre batches. Regretably, that’s the biggest I can work with at the moment.
Surely there’s an operational brewery out there somewhere that could be persuaded to run an Independence Ale? Even as a one off. And in the horrible, horrible event of a No vote, they could just switch the labels for something more appropriate for a No politician.
I Hope You Choke on This Ale.
One day you will see a new microbrewery in Mid Argyll. Once the Lady Beastie and I have slipped the bonds of Glaschu and escaped back to civilisation, that is.

I believe you. But now that they have advertised a pack of lies they will need to hold tight to them, bolster them, and as the lies are hollow promises, all they can do in answer to challenges is bluster.
Thanks very much for publicising the AYE TALKS fundraiser in honour of Margo MacDonald, Rev. Much appreciated! If anyone’s wanting to know more about the event itself, there’s info at the following link: link to ayetalks.wordpress.com
Come to think of it what was idiot Rennies response to this
link to computerweekly.com
Did he send Ian Duncan Smith a stiff letter of protest on behalf of his constituents left starving because of that evil man’s careless actions? did he hell.
And that was just ONE fucking department, 143 fucking million pounds and that little shit wants to know just how far down Salmond can bow down in apology if there’s a cost overrun on setup costs.
Even if there was any sodding reason to assume cost overruns wouldn’t it be courteous to allow Salmond to fuck up first before he attacks him for something he hasn’t yet done,
Why doesn’t he have a wee word with Wendy Alexander about her wee vanity project which she stopped Salmond from abandoning because she insisted the trams would come in on time and on budget, we all saw how that little prediction worked out didn’t we?
Our road are like ploughed fucking fields because every bloody penny we had was spent of that idiotic tram project,
But when Salmond went ahead with the new Forth crossing they screamed the place down about pointless expenditure when we have a perfectly good bridge already,
which if you stand on it you can hear the strands of wire in the cables snap like banjo strings,
Anyone fancy a wee trip over the bridge?
there’s no guarantee you come back alive though.
As it happens as we speak the bridge construction is under shedule and under budget,
and I think Im right in saying the SNP’S capital projects have all come in either on or under budget and on time, compare and contrast with the profligacy of the Labour crew who pissed OUR money up against a wall with the wonderful idea of Gordons with PFI,
meanwhile when they got bored spending they sent back the money they couldn’t be arsed spending,
then theyve got the breathtaking fucking cheek to complain that its taking the SNP far too long to dual the A9
What has this country done to deserve political pygmies like this?
Sorry about the Language but it was either get out here or get arrested in the public gallery in Holyrood,
time and again I’ve had to sit quietly in the gallery when I want to let rip at those clowns, anyway if I as much as look as if I’m about to say anything,
my wife digs her nails in my hand,
and she’s got sharp nails.
I don’t get paid until tomorrow…

“…what about a raffle? …Maybe dinner for 2 with Johann Lamont as the top prize? :D”
I’ll get the wife right onto it. 🙂
Hey Rev you forgot about mine Fairie Needs Monies for Dope, i need to get high or else i would go on a killing spree.
everybody just leave 20p under your pillow tonite i will try to get as many as i can 😉 cheers
I’m partial to a drop of “Independence” brewed by Inveralmond Brewery.

if there’s a dinner for two prize she would like dinner with Willie Rennie and she enjoys a wee fondue, just somebody warn Wille to wear asbestos breeks. 🙂

It just struck me as a bit odd,especially for a beeb story.It’s almost balanced and fair(apart from Prof.Bell)
What’s going on over at Pacific Quay?
Sending £100 saved from not buying papers. Send it to Mark Coburn the cyclist. Thanks.
Beer’s been done. Did it for fun. Wee local brewery with a good bit more than homebrew levels. Not advertising it here!! (We’re selling all we can make). You might say it’s a limited edition. Short lifespan: expires September 18th.

I noticed the poster and badges do not seem to have “wingsoverscotland.com” on them surely that’s a must Stuart.
So impressed by the sheer number of these Groups, certainly puts Bitter Together and No Borders, both Funded by Rich Labour and Tory Voters in England, wee efforts to Shame! BT have now shifted their Campaign to London!!!
Just thought I’d go through and see how each campaign is getting along.
