Please let us one day discover who the wailing colleague was.

      “They” is normal English for talking about some one or a group in the 3rd person

        there ia no such beast as «normal English», there is usage, idiolect etc and this particular usage, given the sensibilities of the speaker, IS rather suggestive.
        of course the conversation, the weeping might be a joke at mr. Swinney’s expence?

      • Joan Savage (Hutcheson) says:

        No, it is incorrect. Check Fowler. ‘He’, ‘she’ or ‘it’ is the correct pronoun for, as follows, male, female and neuter. ‘They’ is the correct pronoun for a plural noun whether male, female or a mix of both. In the scenario presented to us, I gather that Swinney is attempting to conceal the sex of the individual although as a lately ordained priest of ‘Wokeism’ he might, on occasion, inappropriately use the term ‘they’ in order to comply with the dictates of ‘Yoof’. On his knees, of course.’Youth’ in SNP terms is an elastic concept. It has been expanded to 30 years old as the ‘yoof’ themselves move through the ageing process. Good grief, when I was 30 I had two school-age children. Youth, I always thought, meant under 21. In your twenties you were a fully fledged adult.

    At that moment locals reported a new beautiful spring emerge in the valley. They went down to take a look. 4 white doves perched atop of it under a rainnbow. They sang in chorus: “A new leader is born, and the tools shall be of the farmers”. The nation also wept.

    They really do think we’re as moronic as them , don’t they ? That fairy tale could only be believed by , well ……the SNP Membership ; the Wee Ginger Poodle Parlour ; Plop Goes What ? et al .

    I’d be ( mildly ) interested in finding out who exactly * owns * the SNP now : who are the faceless , nameless * they * who had such complete control of that Party they were able to manipulate the succession of complicit continuity that was Yousaf and – without even the pretence of a contest – Swinney : and are now attempting to cement the latter in situ for the next 3 elections , ie S.E 26 .

      ALBA 2 will do nothing but fight among themselves and promise indy, but they are too cowardly to stand up to WM and they will follow Alex Salmond’s failed franchise

      Shug do you really think that Scotland and Scots deserve and can withstand further torture and devastation forced on them by another 5 years of the despicable,incompetent,corrupt,deviant,perverted,lying,troughing,paedophilic,moronic fuckwits who are more interested in children’s SEX lives than they are in competent governance or attaining INDEPENDENCE

      • Joan Savage (Hutcheson) says:

        My understanding is that Alba wants the total votes cast to all pro-independence Parties in 2026, to count as a plebiscite for identifying the Scottish Parliament as having the right to hold a referendum on independence. What is required is that each Party explicitly states that a vote for it means a vote for independence. If the SNP refuses to do this, the ball will be in the slates for them. ISP and Alba will definitely be explicit. A pro-independence majority of votes cast, irrespective of Party, is required to demonstrate the will of the Scots people. Constitutionally the Scots people are sovereign. My understanding is that a referendum would then take place. And that Alba will be reviewing the issue of the franchise. And that Alex Salmond himself, belatedly supported a review of the ridiculous local government type franchise which no other country seeking the de-colonisation of its indigenous people has ever used.

      • twathater says:

        At Joan Savage(Hutcheson) I do understand what Alba and ISP (HOPE) to do BUT realistically WHO or WHAT is going to FORCE the Scum Nonce Party to agree to the single manifesto agreement when Alex Salmond practically begged them to work with Alba in HR for a supermajority indy representation and the poison dwarf deviant basically told him to FUCK OFF

        The ONLY way to FORCE the Scum Nonce Party to the table (if you would even want that which I DON’T) would be to DESTROY their core vote, BUT unfortunately there are still too many Scum Nonce Party members and supporters who are more interested in the snp than they are in independence, check Shug upthread and Paypal Pauls disciples and many of the Nicla cultists on twatter

However, I think the mystery caller is not Sturgeon,as that would require a modicum of emotional engagement. But the whole prank is so contrived and juvenile at the same time.

    @ Joan Savage (Hutcheson) at 6.18 p.m. Thank you for the information re Alba’s policy that every vote for ANY independence party which includes in its manifesto that a vote for them is a vote for independence, will count as endorsing Holyrood as having the right to hold an independence referendum.

    This is good news – it takes the power away from Westminster. It tallies with the aims of the Manifesto for Independence and I think it would be helpful if Alba explicitly adopted the Manifesto because it would demonstrate some unity of purpose in the independence movement. ISP have adopted the Manifesto already. Presumably the Independents for Independence will.

      I told AUOB years ago to stop marching in the streets and to start marching against the SNP for not delivery on the any of the mandates. I’ve got to ask, what would we be donating money for? When any meaningful attempt to persuade the SNP to pursue a plebiscite or anything on the constitutional question from the SNP is ignored. Unless the march is directed at the Scottish government and the SNP, WHATS THE POINT. I’m a fan of AUOB and I can’t count how many marches we’ve done and money we’ve donated, but unless the march has a meaningful purpose and a positive affect towards the goal of Independence its pointless.

      A few years back two woman arrange an event called the Chain of Freedom. The usual suspects from the SNP MSPs, and MPs put their backing behind the event along with the SNP and all the hangers on the one’s that make money out of purporting to wanting Independence but if it never happens then that’s just fine. The event was along a canal away from the general public on a country lane and this is what has happened to AUOB, the SNP started putting the marches on the outskirts of towns and the MSM doesn’t even report on them. You’d be lucky if 1 or 2 people ever noticed the Chain of Freedom event because the SNP destroyed it before it had even started that’s why they took part and this is whats happened to AUOB marches.

      I’m sorry, but we’ve been going round in circles for the last 10yrs I’ve had enough. Its pointless trying to educate people on the SNP or the direction we need to take when they just don’t listen. Unless we directly stand up to the SNP nothing is going to change, so unless the AUOB is going to be protesting directly at the SNP/SG I wont be donating. I’ve had enough of wasting my time and money on pointless causes.

        The demands of “New Scots” are very likely to get better traction with the pro-DEI pen pushers of ScotGov. Plus, I bet the marches would get a lot more media attention too.

    Its taken 10yrs for certain people but not all to realize the SNP isn’t ever going to do or deliver Independence, for god sake.

    Directed at the Alba supporters for god sake are you completely blind. Nicola destroyed Salmond, Salmond only used the Alba party to rebuild his career and he destroyed the Alba party because of Sturgeon position on him.

    It would make sense if the Alba folded and we formed around either ISP or a completely new Indy party with 1 voice not hundreds and 1 leader not ten. If 2026 comes and goes it be another opportunity lost again.

    To think the general public is going to vote for Alba just because the previous leader has passed your pissing in the wind. Since 2021 it was obvious with the votes Alba was getting from the public at elections Alex was the cause.

    At next years Holyrood election, Alba will not achieve anything, I4I will achieve more votes then Alba but will also not get into Holyrood.

    Even if we had 4 elected two from ALba and two from I4I the problem we have is the Individuals elected into Holrood from these Unionist parties including the SNP are all actively working hand in had with each other to retain there own political careers there is no difference in politicians today they are all the same.

    Marches have been reported by other Country’s on their MSM this is no longer the case, WHY?

    Its simple because we all talk about it but nothing is ever achieved.

    I can’t believe for a minute that if 20,000 people marched on Bute house when Swinney is actually in the building, that the MSM wouldn’t want to put it font and center at 6’oclock even if it was to have a go at the SNP. But more importantly we would attract foreign media again who have lost Interest as they know as well as certain Scots Independence is dead and buried as far as the SNP is concerned.

    The SNP is so confident that they don’t even bother hiding their contempt for Scots who want Independence anymore, they openly abuse us at ever opportunity and we allow them to do it, its pathetic.

    Every day the leadership of the SNP rubs our noisy in the dirt, I’ll march and I’ll donate but it has to achieve something. I’m not interested in a day out walking on the outskirts of a town or city at the behest of my jailer (SNP).

    The reality is,

    The National

    People who work for and get paid (Friends and Family) in and by the SNP

    People who claim to support Independence and making a living from it

    MSM

    All the above never want to deliver Independence, EVER. Until we all waken up to this FACT tell me whats going to change, NOTHING. Until we stop listen to these people and start making the decisions ourselves.

    People get their wallets out during elections campaigns to donate to a SNP candidate crowdfunding campaign and give money to support their local candidate’s campaign when the candidate knows that he/she will never pursue and the leadership will never deliver Independence, why because none of them want Independence because this would stop their employment and thus their income. After the election is over all bets are off and they ignore the electorate and their promises, for me this is fraud.

    These company’s and individuals aren’t our friends there our jailers.

    Liberation/Salvo, Leah Gunn Barrett and Sara have done more for Scotland in the last few years than all the politicians Including Salmond has done in the last 300yrs for Scotland on Independence.

    YES Salmond give us a referendum but the franchise was rigged to fail and fail it did. I’m surprised we got to 45% but when we did why did the SNP stop and they did and here is Scotland’s dilemma.

    What’s the closest any unionist has come, in the last dozen years or so, to saying outright:

    ‘Scotland’s too valuable to let go and we’re not going to let it happen. If it means Scots feel they’re ‘colonised’, tough. And if they get any ideas about UDI then we’ll send troops in to protect our interests and we’ll do it in a heartbeat.’

    It was 2013, in interview with Holyrood Magazine, that Denis Healey said:

    “I think we did underplay the value of the oil to the country because of the threat of [Scottish] nationalism I think they [Westminster politicians] are concerned about Scotland taking the oil, I think they are worried stiff about it.”

    That, of course, is just a very polite way of saying the same thing whilst rendering it less-immediately-threatening by using the past tense.

      Up until 20th January 2025, “sending in the troops” would have caused a storm of international condemnation. Quite possibly with the USA at the head of the queue.

      Even although recently, there hasn’t been that many troops to send in.

      Now, it would likely have President Trump on the phone to congratulate Starmer on finally getting real and welcome him into the inner circle of the exclusive Big Bad Boy’s Club.

      As for whether the pre-Jan 20th situation is going to return, possibly in 4 years time, I have no real idea. But my gut says, naw, it won’t.

      And quite soon, there’s going to be a hell of a lot more troops too.

        Why bother with troops? I’m sure that they’d just cut off banking and stop social security payments.

    The SNP cult is finished.
    The only question is..
    Who is paying the tiller man.
