Step One
Today’s Sunday Mail leads for the second weekend in a row on questions about the finances of Yes Scotland.
But there’s a paragraph in the online version of the story that doesn’t make the print edition, and it’s a shame, because it’s a very telling one.
This is it, from Yes Scotland’s former marketing director Ian Dommett:
And unfortunately, until the rest of the SNP’s voters join the 414,000 who walked away from the party between the 2021 and 2026 Holyrood elections and contrive to somehow get that key realisation into their thick heads, Scotland will never take a single step closer to independence.
The SNP’s entire reason for existence now is failing to win independence. Failure is what protects their wages and their power. No government as incompetent as this one wins elections on its record. The moment independence was achieved, the Scottish electorate would give someone else a chance at actually running the country after 20+ years of the same party in charge, and the SNP cannot allow that to happen.
Sadly, if even this sort of thing (from The National on Tuesday):
isn’t enough to wake up the loyal, tribal dunderheads, it’s likely that nothing will be.
And on we’ll limp, year after year, in ever-shrinking circles, going nowhere.
The article is excellent. Is there hope our supine press are finally waking up ? Also, the last point that corruption is not a revolution but creeps in got me looking up an old source. The dictators handbook is the reference I think. It explains how these things proceed not as a major takeover but slow, step-by-step, until all is corrupted to the will of the dictator. The SNP exist only for themselves and have created a Scotland further from independence than when they came to power. And in that time they have enriched themselves at our expense. The country needs to wake up (probably too late for another four plus years sadly)
Good wee article, I particularly appreciated the link to Paul Sinclair’s article. It was balanced and accurate.
“And on we’ll limp, year after year, in ever shrinking circles, going nowhere.” BUT, Rev, political parties are not essential to restoring Scotland’s independence. They can help, indeed it would be easier if they were the driving force provided that they were well-supported, but they are not the necessary pre-condition e.g. Bolsheviks were a minority; Estonia got independence without a party in government.
The “Hillsborough Law” might just be one of the straws that breaks the camels back… Just hope it can be applied retroactively. And includes substantial jail time for public servants failing their duties of honesty and accountability… might put the wind up a few around the snap, the copfs and the polis. Here’s hoping!
I was listening to Robin McAlpine video below, He was saying a lot.
We’ve had 12yrs of the SNP dismantling the Independence movement and moving us all on.
I agree with both Wings and Robin that the SNP support isn’t going to be enough come 2031 and the SNP and Greens will not be able to win another Holyrood election and then its another ten years before change can happen if we have a political party wanting it to happen which we don’t.
But the SNP made it perfectly clear a super SNP majority wins a referendum that’s what was on offer. So why should any PM accept anything different, the SNP set the condition and they got the 2026 result they wanted.
All of the people placed in Holyrood in 2026 have been bought and sold their dream of Independence to become a MSP and there isn’t one of them who’s ever going to delivery on what they promised during the election a referendum.
The SNP has killed Scottish Independence and the supporters who have a blind faith in the SNP in the coming years are going to realize what a huge mistake they have made.
The Tory’s have been saying since 2017 that the SNP don’t want a referendum but no one would listen and Peter Wishart was talking about 2026 is when we should go for a referendum and this was before 2021 so now we are in 2026 its now 2031 and will continue until we remove the SNP.
Its time to STOP calling people from England EnglsihScots and saying the SNP is a Nationalist party for Scottish Independence their not and arguing to rejoin the EU without given people a vote isn’t on.
The only hope for Scotland is the next Westminster election. The one thing and its only thing people need to get through their think head is the SNP will never deliver Independence.
So in the next Westminster election we are going to need to either not vote or vote for an Unionist party to remove all SNP MP’s from Westminster, the SNP has become the obstacle to Scotland Independence.
