Wings Over Scotland

Brilliant

Brilliantly captured…

Haste ye back

How long before we have an actual case of some indoctrinated child reporting his parents for saying some wrongthink at home.

Police Scotland building secret files on people for things which are not crimes but which they will ‘share’ with future potential employers…

This is full on Stasi territory.

It is hard to believe what is going on right now.

So good, but so sad at the same time. How on earth have we allowed ourselves to get to where we seem to be now?
Anyway, good to see that you’re doing your bit for diversity, and that the cow at least is brown, and not “white white white”

That coo is scary! Great cartoon, Chris – hope we’ll see many more soon.

Chris, I’m worried I will get into trouble for liking your marvellous, cartoon by Stasi Scotland.

I just can’t believe what’s happening here any longer since Sturgeon and her stooge took over. Democracy, free speech, my arse.

That’s a crystal clear perspective, Chris. The power of a cartoon to depict a whole political actuality at a human level, way better than words, though i do love the title of the piece, The Absolute State. And a state that has failed, can only turn in on itself.

Words can’t describe what I think about all these politicians and Holyrood – My disgust at these miserable wretches. Stop voting, to change the system.

How long will it be before a machine gun nest is visible in the tower, along with a couple of snipers?
What a sad, sorry place Scotland is. I only voted SNP once and that was 40 years ago-don’t blame me.

When this madness starts turn it against the SNP and Greens – listen to every word they utter or print, looking for something that could offend you, then report it to Police anonymously. Not only overwhelm the cops enforcing this draconian law but at least some of the complaints against the SNP and Greens will have to be investigated.

A wee WOS-related poll included here…

If it is not forbidden do not presume to think it will remain so.
Remember «l’État c’est nous».
«But the State has no nous», said the small boy.
«Such precocity», screamed the Citizens Commissar.
«In the name of State, Out with his brain!»
Amen! mumbled the Masses.

Belter… isn’t it sad that Scotland has been brought to such a point by the SNP\Greens, ably assisted by Labour and Lib Dem’s. How on gods earth did it ever come to this ? how can an administration possibly be so polarised on every level from the Scottish people ? There needs to be a root and branch clear out of Holyrood it has been contaminated to such a point were getting rid of a few weeds will no longer save us.

“Police State, not Free State.”

And meanwhile, alongside the intensified oppression we see ‘whenever colonialism is imperiled’, the economic plunder continues: i.e. a Colonial State.

One of the best cartoons; sadly, it says it all.
I am busy making little green and purple bows (not nooses) which I will attach to my YES badges on all my coats in honour of the Suffragettes who suffered for women’s rights and all those who came after who suffered discrimination because of their sex (XX) – myself included.
Will anyone take umbrage at a 76 year old woman over this?

Have the freeports now extended down to Gretna perchance?

Britain’s very own Guantanamo Bay replete with all the security apparatus!

Welcome to 2024 Scotland, the nation where even cows have been repurposed to spy on people.

The nation where political parasites working for any entity under the sun other than Scotland herself, have secured state-sponsored abuse of parliamentary seats; state-sponsored deconstruction of democracy; and state-sponsored misuse of taxpayers’ funds to fund toxic quangos and create an illusion of diversity of opinion; launch fabricated accusations and then proceed to hide the real criminals so, rather than being prosecuted, they can be parachuted to some plum job from where they can continue patronising us with their lessons on faux morality, faux ethics and self-righteousness.

This is the nation where the political parasites who call themselves our “representatives” have made a complete mockery of our parliament, have unlawfully handed over Scotland’s legislative and executive control to external entities so they can deny us our right to create our own laws and force on us instead toxic ones like this one, which are now proceeding, like the good useful idiots they are, to force on us, on behalf of their handlers.

These wannabe dictators do not belong in a parliament. They belong in jail. Every single one of them.

Meanwhile, criminals like the thief/thieves of the 600,000 pounds in donations for the referendum continue to roam free in front of our noses, as do the “leaker”, the “perjurers” who participated in the fabricated case against Mr Salmond or the “legal” minds who launched malicious prosecutions.

Because, of course, in Yousaf and Sturgeon’s Scotland as the colony of the north, prosecuting real crime is of no advantage for the imperial power compared with forcefully gagging yes people who has the audacity to use their brain to think logically, to acknowledge biological science, and, heaven forbid, to demand enforcement of popular sovereignty and see the politicians for the useless empty vessels and treacherous puppets they are.

Political parasites, their external handlers and their “advisers” and support in high places may be saying “yes” to Scotland becoming a police state. But if the people of Scotland stands up to these self-serving creeps and says “no” and “stick your fascist legislation up yer arse”, it will be a no.

I refuse to accept these mediocre wastes of space and the even more waste of space that are those directing them to assault and insult their country like this, can silence an entire nation, so they can fullfil their toxic and self-serving interests. We should resist this with ever fiber of our being.

The first step is to find out who are those handlers, where are they based and what are the interests they are really pursuing.

The next is to use every opportunity to report to the police whenever one of these biology deniers insult a woman by calling them “terfs” or “cis”; or ageists insult middle-aged or older people by calling them “boomers” or by discriminating them by claiming “politics belongs to the young”; or any politician dares to insult Scotland’s intelligence by claiming “hate” is rampant in Scotland; or any politician dares to attempt to distort the representation of the population of Scotland by claiming there are far “too many white people” in positions of power.

The next is to bypass this failed political system. This toxic legislation has demonstrated how this system has failed us and it is no longer designed to represent the people of Scotland, but rather to control them and to silence them.

We need independent candidates who will not respond to the triple whip coming from some self-entitled arsehole acting as the useful idiot for some external power who takes delight in pissing on us from high.

Stu and Chris: thank you for your outstanding work. It has been eye-opening, informative, entertaining and a delight to read and to watch. It has been a pleasure to watch the parasites squirm whenever you published one of your articles.

Thank you for your efforts and for successfully revealing just how useless, vindictive, untrustworthy and betraying those parasites sitting in Holyrood and Westminster, allegedly representing Scotland, really are.

There is no way back. The concept of party politics in Scotland, and I dare say the UK, has been killed by these parasites and their greedy handlers. Party politics is no longer, if it ever was, a way to exercise popular sovereignty. It is a tool to deny popular sovereignty. It is deliberately vague legislation like this what reveals the true colours and purpose of the political parties bringing this forward, those voting for it, those advising on it and those implementing it.

They used to say “religion is the opium of the masses”. Well, right now, in 2024 Scotland, party politics has become the propofol of critical thinking, democracy and the fundamental right of freedom of expression.

An excess of propofol is lethal. Right now, this toxic legislation represents an overdose of state-sponsored and forced thought and expression repression.

If we do not want to be put to sleep, it is time to bypass party politics and all the abuse that has come through it.

See you all at the other side.

Fa’s the streams o cars heading sooth?

That’s gonna be a thing BTW. If the additional Tartan Tax doesn’t drive Scots and jobs across the border, the ludicrous price differentials associated with booze and foodstuffs will.

If the cross-border price differential on petrol and diesel gets high enough once Grangemouth closes, shopping trips to England may become self financing. And maybes English leccy for recharging will be cheaper too.

So we’ll need border inspections, paperwork, ID, and limits on the importation of alcohol for personal use.

Oh well, the SNP long fantasised about a hard border between England and Scotland. The faithful always thought it would be to keep the English out. How long until it’s also keeping us in?

Ah ken, I’ve taken that too far. But who back in 2014 predicted what’s happening from Monday?

Still 2+ more years of pretendy FM HY calling the shots too. We’re gonna all be living in innarestin times.

In truth the cops have been running wild since Covid and in every western country.

Australia has rushed through a Digital ID Bill, with minimal debate, 2 days ago.

There seems to be a crisis point approaching and they don’t want debate on it.

The WHO is trying to get World sovereign powers over health issues, due to be voted on in May.
Is that the crisis?
With everything being now conflated into the One Health initiative humans, animals and climate are now being packaged as health issues and immense power shifts to the UN/WHO.

Goodbye Stu and Chris. Haste ye back.

Well, folks, given the last 2 – 3 articles on WOS i have decided to call it a day until further notice, ie: there is a great deal of legal clarity on this situation. And by that i mean in Scotland.

I will, from time to time, check in and see if there is any change to Stuart’s position. But other than that? I’m out!

NOTE to Sturgeon’s Nasty Party, Yous will *NEVER* get another vote from me, at any level. Yous have Sturgeon & Murrell to thank for that. The SNP are no longer a party for indy but rather a party of self-serving Wokesters hell-bent on destroying Scotland and the idea of self-determination.

NOTE to real trans folk. This is a serious point. Before all this nonsense created by Sturgeon i was very firmly on the side of supporting and protecting any trans person being abused or attacked in the street. I was a firm believer in live and let live, apart from paedophiles & rapists.

I am now very much on the side of not giving a toss about Yous. This is one very strong ally that Yous have lost. Please also note, thanks to the amateur and kackhanded way all this has been handled and portrayed by Sturgeon’s SNP, Yous have been lumped in beside paedophiles & rapists etc among the wider public.

I feel genuinely sorry for real Trans folk. But anyone destroying my dream of self-determination to achieve their own agendas, and destroying Womens’ rights in the process, cannot rely on my support. EVER!

Another thank you to Chris Cairns, one of the best political cartoonists Scotland has ever produced. And what an absolute cracker produced for today. What a toon to bow out on. Major LOLs!

Take care, Troops!

There is no way back. The concept of party politics in Scotland, and I dare say the UK, has been killed by these parasites and their greedy handlers. Party politics is no longer, if it ever was, a way to exercise popular sovereignty. It is a tool to deny popular sovereignty. It is deliberately vague legislation like this what reveals the true colours and purpose of the political parties bringing this forward, those voting for it, those advising on it and those implementing it.

Perhaps the truly worrying thing is that anyone with two brain cells to rub together actually believes this kind of intellectual effluent. What’s the plausible alternative to political parties and representative democracies then? Show us where and when it has been tried and with what results.

Are we to have a modern day Athenian Pnyx, with direct democracy and a new magistracy chosen by lot from amongst the pure of blood and heart? Stuff and nonsense the lot of it. Citizens referendums and direct democracy “à la Suisse” may have their place to decide certain local issues.

You might even want direct democracy to decide particularly contentious national issues (though brexit is hardly a glowing example is it?), but in the end the answer to our current crap political representation and execrable parties isn’t to throw the representative democracy baby out with the bathwater polluted with the ordure of the current crop of charlatans, it’s for all of us to do better.

We need to elect better people, ensure our systems are not so easily hi-jacked by those promoting wedge issues with negligible popular support, make sure our elected representatives are held accountable, subject to recall and unable to become over-mighty by having undue influence on the media, judiciary and police.

The fantasists proposing novel and half baked government via popular sovereignty, direct democracy and permanent citizens assemblies are a clear and present danger to democracy, because they have no coherent plans and no way of guaranteeing that their silver bullets won’t be used to blow the brains of our democracy out.

It’s necessary to guard against Ceasarism just as much as against fascism and communism.

You have 2days to come up with a suitably OTT and biblical term for Scotland.

Obvs you’ve had a hell of a lot more practice than me, so I expect your term will be a belter.

Hitler’s brave new order was rather popular too.
To Life!

Any government attempting to police its unrequired legislation by means of an already overstretched police-force will only squander that forces limited time and meager resources.

The production of faddish legislation to secure hip brownie-points for our “progressive” legislators amongst their Left-fascist fellow travelers throughout the Western world must be seen for what it is.

Colonial legislators without real powers, can do little else other than produce ever more policies-of-fascination, and damn the expense! How else are they to keep themselves in the media spotlight and maintain a seeming degree of public relevance? This is a phenomenon that won’t be resolved by marking ‘choices’ on any ballot paper, I fear.

John main has two days to say something witty.

Excellent cartoon.

With regard to anonymous accusations a few years back Anas Sarwar made an accusation of historical racism against one of his colleagues in Scottish Labour. The accusation was from before this person had became a councillor and when asked to name the accusers Sarwar refused to do so. At the time this accusation was made Sarwar was a member of a cross party group supposedly to fight racism and the three main members of it appeared to be Sarwar, Humza Yousaf and Ross Greer. On searching to provide a link to not only this incident but the group itself it all appears to have been memory holed which is odd as I read about it in the Herald and will hopefully have it bookmarked it an old inactive computer. On going to the Scottish Parliament website neither Greer nor Yousaf are listed as being a member of this Cross Party Group whilst Sarwar is a member of a “Cross-Party Group in the Scottish Parliament on Challenging Racial and Religious Prejudice.” On looking into this I found that the group I mentioned, it was tackling Islamophobia in Scotland, but could not find had been binned and replaced with this group which Greer and Yousaf are not a part of, anyone have any ideas why? On looking into these two groups they all appear to be headed not by people of colour but this guy whose biography shows a joint project with a group I have previously mentioned, Tell MAMA, and a serious amount of cash being granted to his projects. His students have been inspired to go on to write thesis on important themes such as, and I quote, “research about transgender experiences of public bathrooms.” Not that I am suggesting that there is any connection between the race and trans lobbies or that intersectionality is an umbrella used to link these.

How about Trans Sinatra and do it your own way…

How about Trans Sinatra and do it your own way…

Don’t give the troons ideas…they’ll be appropriating Francis Albert as one of their own now….!

“Perhaps the truly worrying thing is that anyone with two brain cells to rub together actually believes this kind of intellectual effluent”

Actually no. What is truly worrying is that somebody who claims to hold a PhD demonstrates to be completely devoid of disposition towards critical thinking, and embarrassingly rejoices in obstinate refusal of any acknowledgement of the rapid changes happening in the environment surrounding them. In layman terms, that is called burying your head in the sand.

What is laughable, is that somebody with the head firmly buried in the sand, self-appoints themselves to an imaginary position of self-assumed knowledge, righteousness and experience from where they consider they can pontificate over others who, after engaging in critical thinking following experiences of their own and careful observation of the changes happening to their environment, have reached conclusions that diametrically oppose this person’s fantasy utopia.

I would have thought that somebody who boasts of holding a PhD would have at the very least the curiosity of mind to find what things actually mean before putting themselves in the rather vulnerable position of making a complete fool of themselves when the person they are targeting with their pompous charade actually never saw them as a reliable, never mind credible, source of information, facts or experiences.

Let’s take it to the basics, shall we?

Democracy. What does that mean?

If you do a simple google search, you come across something like this:

“The word democracy comes from the Greek words “demos”, meaning people, and “kratos” meaning power; so democracy can be thought of as “power of the people”: a way of governing which depends on the will of the people”

Right then, so “democracy” is the government by the people.
It stands to the obvious that if you are forcing on the people something the majority does not want, these people are not enjoying democracy. They are subjected to a form of absolute rule. I am sure somebody with a PhD can understand that.

Now, let’s go to the next step. If those who we elected to represent us UNDER A PARTICULAR MANIFESTO, deliberately go out of that manifesto and start to abuse our parliament so they can pass laws NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANIFESTO and therefore to which those who voted for them never consented and which they know they are opposed by the majority of the people of Scotland, then it stands to the obvious that whatever form of government Scotland is subjected to, it is not a democracy. It is a form of absolute rule. Again, you do not need neither a PhD nor above average IQ to understand that.

Let’s move it up a notch. This takes us now to the concept of “parliamentary democracy”. The word “parliamentary” is used in that expression for both, to restrict “democracy” and actually to maintain the illusion that the denial of democracy to the people of Scotland is still “a democracy”.

Well, it is not. Why? Because if the legitimacy for the laws forced on the people simply sits on what those in a parliament vote after being heavily lobbied by external powers or the powers that be themselves, independently, as it is the case with this hate bill or was with the GRR, if it is what the majority of the people elected those representatives for, or actually want, the system is not a democracy. That parliament is in fact a tool to suppress democracy and those sitting in that parliament are not representing those who voted them in. They represent the lobbyists, whoever those may be.

The procedure may be democratic FOR THOSE SITTING IN PARLIAMENT, but it is not democratic for the people those individuals are meant to represent and therefore it is not a democracy. Again, I would think somebody who boasts of holding a PhD would at least have the ability to reach such an obvious and simple conclusion.

And now let’s take it to the final notch: the control of parliamentary democracy. Take a look at Scotland. You have an unelected representative of the crown sitting in what should have been a democratically elected cabinet. What is that figure doing there? It is handing control over the executive, and via a self-awarded veto, as we have seen with the lord advocate when it came to the Keatings case and the referendum bill, it is also restricting the legislative power of the chamber.

Again, you do not need a PhD to reach the evident conclusion that when the crown keeps control of the judicial, executive and legislative power of Scotland through an unelected representative, Scotland is not a democracy, not even a parliamentary democracy at that. Why? because that crown representative is vetoing what can enter parliament to be debated and voted in. Scotland is subjected to absolute rule.

I am not sure what your objective was behind your comment. I am sorry to say that if what you intended to do was to ridiculise my conclusions, you failed at the first round. Why? Firstly, because you seem to think you are here in a position of more credibility and knowledge than anybody else. Well, let me disabuse you of such a ridiculous thought. A. you are simply a person commenting here and therefore whose “verbal effluents” are as much an opinion as everybody else’s. As a matter of fact, you rarely, if ever, provide real facts or evidence to back up your assertions. B. You appear to display an alarming lack of what I would consider fundamental knowledge in what a democracy constitutes, how Scotland is being “governed” by external structures through systematic suppression of Scotland’s executive and legislative powers. C. You still seem to think, or expect the rest of us to believe you think, that the UK, never mind Scotland, is a functional democracy.

You really have to live in a parallel universe if, despite what we have seen since 2016, you still believe the political parties are in any way or form representing what the people in Scotland want and are not instead a vehicle systematically used by external powers to suppress democracy in Scotland, to forcefully repress popular sovereignty and now, to forcefully suppress freedom of expression.

They say there is no somebody so blind as those who, despite having a 20/20 vision, refuse to open their eyes. I consider even even blinder those who, refusing to open their own eyes to the dystopian reality around them, self-appoint themselves to an imaginary position of power and imagined knowledge from where they feel they can pontificate over others, who keep their eyes open, to demand they close their eyes too.

I am sorry. My eyes are wide open and they will remain wide open no matter how laughable or ridiculous your “verbal effluents” become.

I am sure I do not need to tell you that your opinion is neither gospel nor necessarily a reflection of the truth. And as such, it is only as valuable as everybody else’s.

Surely items not published in Scotland can’t be raised. What if we watch Ricky Gervais on Armageddon on You Tube. Can someone then “hate crime “ him? It has to be a nonsense.
If Gary lineker says something on match of the day about Scottish Football and we get hurty feelz, is that a hate crime. Punishable in Scotland.
This all makes no sense, what a mockery. I’m ashamed. “It’s s**** being Scottish”

The binoculars in the watchtower and cameras are mostly looking the wrong way.

Our last two great leaders talked of renaming the SNP…in light of the party’s political drift since he who must never be named resigned, something like the Free Scottish Democratic Party of Truth should do it (better check the Electoral Commission in case it’s already taken…)

@ Mia

Superb post and response to His Clownship Ellis , who , even on what could be the penultimate WOS post ( excellent ‘toon , as per , Chris ) can’t let others post their thoughts without dribbling his usual laughable ( imagined ) * superior * commentary all over them .

Of course he’ll defend the Political Party system despite what anyone with a scintilla of intelligence can see is the total failure of that system , which has brought – in particular – Scotland , but pretty much the entire * West * to it’s worst condition ever , at least in modern times , and made a total mockery of what vestigial – actual – Democracy ever existed ; as you brilliantly elucidate .

The reason he defends the decrepit,dysfunctional Political Party system – apart from him having the imagination & capacity for original thought of a dead bat – is because he fancies himself as a candidate for ALBA in a future G.E/H.E .

The way that Party is going , he’ll fill that role to a ” t ” .

Mr Andrew Dull standing for the Dull Party in the constituency of Dullsville . Lost deposit time .

Oh , I see faithful Ellis retainer and dogsbody – wee Johnny Wean , has butted-in to defend his Lord . No Sooty without Sweep , eh ?

@ Hatuey : aye , noticeable that the risible twosome seem pretty cheerful at the prospect of the – possible – demise of WOS . Wonder why that is ? Maybe Evadne Ellis in his delusion thinks it will result in more traffic on his own site – what’s it called again …” THE OMNISCIENT OLYMPIAN ” ? or some such . More in my Highland village between the hours of 3 to 5 am on a wet Wednesday

Hilda Main is probably happy because his pathetic flag-waving endorsement of every insane action by his heroes will no longer be subject to the ridicule they deserve . Back to the Daily Mail comments section for you wee Johnny .

Thanks Stuart for what you have do and have done. And more specifically what you will do. Support

I think its safe to say now that the SNP is an enemy of Scottish independence, and an oppressor of those who speak up for it.

We MUST vote out the SNP wherever we find them, at the GE, at Holyrood and council elections get them out at every turn.

The SNP has betrayed Scotland big time, and they want to now shut you up by shutting down free speech, a vote for the SNP is a vote to keep Scots oppressed so no more votes for them.

@John Main 2.03pm

Mia seems to operate only on transmit, not receive. Another living embodiment, but this time of “TL/DR” and “why use one word when many hundreds will do”. Her prose – if that’s not too kind a term – always had a whiff of the Effie Deans about it: constipated and about as welcome.

Here eyes are wide shut, like too many of the moonhowlers in here. Same old, same old.

@Alf Baird 2:58

Exactly.

But still functioning within a system employing democratic mechanisms to determine which of the independents is most aligned with the voters.

It’s been found to be a widely acceptable system because it’s possible for reasonable people, just, to accept a majority decision, even when it is not what they would have wanted.

And, with time limited terms in office, reasonable people finding themselves to be in a minority can hope that next time around, they may have persuaded enough people to make a majority.

Mia spent her enormous post criticising this idea, but failed to propose any working alternative. I’m thinking no working alternative exists.

Anyhoo, Alf, I look forwards to an independent or two standing in my constituency. My low opinion of the ignorant, tribal nature of Scottish politics suggests they won’t get far.

@Alf Baird 2.58pm

So alone of all the democracies in the world, Scotland will be governed by non-party independents?

Well, it’s a position I guess, just not one that most reasonable folk would give a moments credence too, any more than they would the concept that a man in a dress is a woman.

Tell us Alf, what percentage of the parliaments or assmeblies in other countries comprise independent, non-party representatives? We’ll wait for the answer, shall we?

I’m actually all for a good number of free thinkers like Margo MacDonald, Jim Sillars, Jim Reid or their ilk, but the idea that some amorphous association of freebooters can govern a modern democracy is facile: it’d be like herding cats.

Talking of the ignorant, tribal nature of Scottish politics, we have Bob at 2:56, cheered on by Hats at 3:15.

Bob found name calling to be a useful tool in his Primary Three year. Now he’s all “grown up”, it’s still his go-to means of debate, although even he has twigged its complete uselessness in any adult context, leaving him angry, frustrated and baffled.

Ten years and ever more hysterical name calling has failed to even produce an Indy Ref 2, let alone Indy itself.

Can you name call to Indy in just 1.5 days? You go, Bob, gie it laldy!

Email from For Women Scotland:

Respond to the Consultation on Ending Conversion Practices:

We were hoping the final Cass Report would be published in time for this consultation but, unfortunately, it has been delayed until April. Now that the deadline for submitting a response is fast approaching we have put together a quick and easy guide to help. The deadline is 11:59pm on Tuesday 2nd April so please take just a few minutes to respond over the next couple of days – it’s important and really won’t take long. It’s fine just to tick the appropriate boxes without adding any text if you wish.

You don’t have to be in Scotland to respond and you can choose that your name is not published.

Find out if the police have a record of you committing a ‘non-crime’:

Following the recent news story about Murdo Fraser MSP discovering Police Scotland had recorded his entirely non-criminal tweet, as shown above, as a ‘hate incident’ we think it is wise for everyone to submit a Subject Access Request to find out what information the police hold about them. Nearly 6,000 such hate incidents were recorded by the police in an 8 month period last year and we very much doubt many of the people involved are even aware they are named in these records, or that it could show up on disclosure requirements for jobs working with children or vulnerable people.

Murdo intends to take legal action to ensure Police Scotland reviews its systems to bring them into line with the recent changes in England and will mean such trivial complaints are no longer recorded.

In the meantime, click below to fill out the form and find out if there are any ‘non-crime hate incidents’ recorded against you. Police Scotland have 20 working days to respond and, given the anticipated increase in vexatious complaints under the new Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act, it may be useful to submit a SAR at least every three months.

@John Main 3:55pm
You are correct I remember the debate on the retention of the pseudo martial powers. Ready to be enabled whenever the gravy train stutters. Contempt for human rights and the priorities of the electorate, the Scottish Parliament are oblivious to recent history on these Islands. Hiding behind 650 armed Police is not a good strategy. When millions including Independence and Unionists supporters are disenfranchised and not part of their game.

Today is Land Day, spare a thought for our Palestinian brothers and sisters under the evil Zionists cosh.

“Every year since 1976, Palestinians around the world have commemorated Land Day on March 30, marking the killing of six Palestinians during a mass action to fight an attempt by the Israeli state to eliminate Palestinians from the Galilee region and carry out Yihud Ha-Galil (the Judaisation of the Galilee).”

Rev, can some Wings funds be put to keeping Chris producing cartoons?

I don’t think cartoons are likely to be complained about, or would be prosecuted if there were complaints. Even our police and COPFS or judiciary could be quite so daft, could they?

Are books going to be pulled out of the local library because someone has been offended, for eg Irvine Welsh’s book “The Long Knives” where Gillman says to Lennox ” If you’re a gadge who feels trapped in a bird’s body, have the fucking baws tae get rid ae yer fucking baws. Get them whipped off and have a fanny built. Dinnae prance aboot lassie’s lavies and lassie’s nicks wi your cock hinging out, telling every cunt you’re a fucking bird”

“So alone of all the democracies in the world, Scotland will be governed by non-party independents?”

Naw, ‘Independents’ seem to be the norm also for parliaments in Isle of Man, and Channel Island ‘states’, as well as various councils here in Scotland. And both CI and IoM have a lot more powers than Holyrood, including ‘Population Management and Immigration’:

“Generally everyone working and/or living in the island of Guernsey requires a Permit or Certificate issued by the Population Management Office under the Population Management Law. These ‘paperless’ Permits and Certificates give people the right to live and work in Guernsey, alongside Immigration Clearance from the Guernsey Border Agency.”

“It also determines who can live in certain accommodation. Guernsey’s properties are primarily split into two ‘Housing Markets’ the Local Market and the Open Market”.

And spouse @1.53 anything read in Scotland after April 1st is deemed to be published in Scotland on the day its read, even if it was originally published in say 1745 and published on Mars. Please note for anybody thinking of reporting Anti Scottish Hate crime say for example feeling the hate from somebody in England, forget it, under the law we are all British Citizens (well u are, I’m now Irish) however I see any Paddy jokes etc, a wee 999 call may be forthcoming!

There a queer policy attached to this public order Hate Crime bill that is illegal,

If a Case is not proven either way by law after the 1st April 2024,
the person whom was been accused still has a record held against them, it is not automatically removed.
Given people a criminal record.

I suggest Barristers, lawyers and Solicitors in Scotland better find ways around this pretty quickly because they to can be accused of gender politics and so can their families,
All it takes is someone whom does not like Solicitors or the legal system to point and accuse them of the Hate Crime Bill.

Suppose your dealing with one of that catagory for selling or buying property and they think they were hard done by in your service provided bill……
Or perhaps they considered you did not fully represent in Court, no matter wether you win or not,
You now have a record against you for keeps of being accused.
Retaliation may grow wings,
As will judges, become targets,
The police Are not infallible against being accused.
As will politicians.
As there is only one protected group mentioned.
The legal profession individually will be accused too without doubt.

However we can all state that at home we wear dresses or we are in one of those protected groups in the hate Crime bill,
Here in Scotland it may be difficult for someone or a court to say you are not one of the protected Charecteristics being as you do not need to under goes any Physical or medical change, nor do you to be registered at birth, it is inter-changable and fluid.
You only need to self ID,

Do certain ones of these protected charecters get a lower womens pension if born before 2010?
Just curious.

I will never forget the kindness of the police more than 50 years ago to a young boy in Easterhouse who gave him a second chance and whenever I could I helped them (a DI wanted to put me forward for an award a few years later re an armed robbery) and disliked anyone who would bad mouth them. Later a head of the Met would be a director of one the companies I worked for.

Nothing is perfect in this world but what is happening now is off the scales. What is a crime in the eyes of this manic world is nothing to the Creator. What is good to this world is evil to the Creator. In the name of the Most High what spirit could ever say that dismembering a little one in its mothers womb was a good and a human right.?

I am not a sectarian and believe the good, no matter what sectarian indoctrination, will have its rewards but if it is has not already been censored there is a post of mine on Craig Murray site, in which I tell a very true story of what happened, in recent years (which the Crown Office can verify), and the inauspicious fate for those who now run Scotland.

If I was offered the entire world there is no way I would exchange my place for them no matter if that spirit tells them they are a true Christian or Muslim.

I am glad you mentioned 1976 which was the creation of the Palestinian State courtesy of Arafat. And 2000 years of made up Palestinian history followed. In biblical terms Palestine is not mentioned once. Academics think the people of Palestine descent were the Canaanites. Land Day goodness me my wife’s family thrown off the land during the Clearances. Real Scottish History unapproved by Bute House Presidential Palace. Decide what side you are on.

Chris another brilliant work of art, but are ye no confused , that sign says Scoatland should it no read welcome tae East Germany

“Mia @1035, woman are exempt for the Hate Crime Bill so you can’t report any hate towards woman as a crime.”

———————————–

Nothing to stop you making a report though. There’s been a few interviews recently where supporters of the HCA have made it clear that it’s always been the case that such reports can be made to the police.

And I’m pretty sure we’ve been assured that ‘sex’, or at least ‘misogyny’, is under consideration for inclusion in the HCA, or in a new law in its own right.

So I imagine the police would welcome such reports, even if they don’t come under the HCA as it currently stands.

Well done Mia you have destroyed franchise fanny ellis’s diatribe comprehensively, then genocide John moan rushed tae crawl up his arse but Alf cut his legs aff wi his response

Robert Hughes I would definitely say that franchise fanny Ellis and his wee sook genecide John moan appear to be excited at the possible closure of WOS, but they should be careful what they DREAM of it will mean that they will be going back to sitting in some wee dreary dingy pub ignored by everyone for the boring self aggrandising twats that they are

Nae mair dinner parties for andy to wax lyrical to his unionist pals about him being the fountain of knowledge on WINGS

Johnlm.

Nice one.

Here’s a wee expansion on that.

“Before 1948, Palestinians had passports that told everyone they were from Palestine. It would have been impossible for them not to think of themselves as Palestinians. After Golda Meyerson left the United States and changed her last name to Meir, she admitted, “I am a Palestinian, from 1921 to 1948, I carried a Palestinian passport.” — Golda Meir”

“Decide what side you are on.”

George Ferguson.

Oh I know what side I’m on do you?

Maybe we Scots should just hand over everything to the Italians (Romans) because they once occupied some of Scotland along time ago.

Calgacus, historically or literally depending on your point of view (me I prefer historically) sought to defeat or at the very least chase off the invaders.

‘ubi solitudinem faciunt pacem appellant’, ‘they create a desert and call it peace’.

The English and their House Jocks did in the Highlands, and now the Zionist murderers are doing in Gaza.

My side/s should be crystal clear to you.

@RepublicofScotland 6:37pm
Not a nice one when you consider Meir’s background. Born in Kiev and often said she was forced to take the construct of a British Passport. One reference to the biblical claim of a Palestine State would suffice.

John Main @5.13pm.

Things are so bad for the Kneo-Natzi junta in YouCraine that this has happened.

“This suggests that over 1,000,000 men in YouCraine are on wanted lists of police for draft dodging even before new drastic mobilization law comes into force: “In the Poltava region, about 30,000 people did not show up at the TCC and SP departments. The TCC appealed to the police with an appeal to deliver these people to the military commissariat.” And about 40,000 men are on wanted list for the same in Ivano-Frankivsk Region.”

I know that men in YouCraine can’t get medical treatment without first proving that they are in the military, the above suggests that for quite a few YouCrainians the penny has finally dropped.

As for Land Day in YouCraine Zel and his Kneo-Natzi junta are selling it off at such a pace to big business, that they’ll be none left shortly.

@RepublicofScotland 6:46pm
3 of my posts have gone into moderation in response to yours. The effects of the HCA come early. At least I use my real name.

“I am on the the side of Scotland you are on the side of everybody else. Fighting everybody else’s corner but your own.”

George Ferguson.

You might be cold enough to sit down with your mouth shut when a genocide of civilians in Palestine is going on as Europe/Nato aids and abets it (Including the UK which we are unfortunately part of for now) but I’m not.

I’ve posted countless comments on Scottish independence and why we need it, don’t believe me? go check the archives before it shuts down.

Only 26 hrs left for Main to ‘up his game’.

It doesn’t look likely.

RoS 7:27

The “genocide” as you insist on calling it, could be over by Monday if the Hamas terrorists were to come out of their tunnels with their hands up, bringing the remaining hostages with them.

And that’s been the situation since November. The relief of the innocent Palestinians has never been more than 48 hours away.

You make common cause with Hamas. No pile of Palestinian corpses can ever be high enough for you. To you the ends will always justify the means.

At least Hamas have the excuse they need the hostages as bargaining chips to save their miserable skins.

As to what your excuse is, God only knows.

But the lesson is clear for us rational, decent Scots. Those who think like you can never be allowed anywhere near power.

Or one day, those who think like you will be looking on unmoved as our corpses pile up in the tens of thousands.

@Republicofscotland 7;27pm

Until you use your real name I can’t take you seriously. Big stakes at play. You are fighting for the Canaanites. I am fighting for the Scottish people. Before Monday state your name. Otherwise I am entitled to think you are 12 and your Mum doesn’t know your on the Internet.

@Hatuey 8:02pm
I expected better from you Hats that you conflated Philistine with Palestine. Poor interpretation. Palestinian roots are in the Canaanites. I am still waiting on one single verse of the bible that states Palestine is a state. And if you think that’s unimportant It is the root of the current war. Personally I am concerned with the forthcoming civil war here in Scotland.

Georgie Boy @ 8.04pm.

Wow! George you really do have the hots to find out my name before the blog kind of goes into stasis.

I’ll e-mail it to Keast-Butler maybe she’ll pass it on to you.

@Republicofscotland 8:24pm
70 million people died in WII the genocide to end all genocides. The real definition of genocide. I wanted Scotland to take an even hand in this war. Humanitarian aid to Gaza notwithstanding. Unfortunately unnamed persons such as yourself have tried to railroad the narrative. Unhelpful and extremely naive. And now I don’t want you standing next to me with our forthcoming strife in Scotland.

@Republicofscotland 8:32pm
Ach your alright mate. I don’t need to your know your name but I can’t stand beside you or be worried about your welfare.

George Ferguson, can you tell me if Scotland or let’s say the United States of America is mentioned in the fantasy Iron Age goat herders New Testament superstitions book ?

@Lenny Hartley 9:07pm
Can you tell me if Palestine gets a mention ? By the way it’s the Old Testament and is the source of the current war. So when you chant the Palestine dogma remember what it means. Yes Scotland is mentioned in Roman times. They built Hadrians Wall and the Antonines Wall. You can see remnants of Antonines Wall in Falkirk. Back in the day when Scottish people defended their lands.

@Hatuey 9:19pm
Very poor analysis Hats. One wishful source from the Internet doesn’t get you off. Academic sources say there has never been a Palestine state. Old Testament. New Testament in fact from any realistic source. Canaanites etc. I favoured a two state solution. But when Scottish Independence supporters fly the Palestine Flag they understand nothing about the source of the conflict. From the river to the sea. They promote genocide on one side. Left right Independence Unionist nothing to do with foreign fields.

George

Why are you fixated on whether Palestine existed?

Lands have changed hands a thousand times due to wars.

All we need to know is the here & now. In 2024.

Jews were gifted a piece of land in 1948. Yes, gifted. It wasn’t theirs. The UK & USA displaced the people living there with absolutely no regard for them.

The Jews were happy. But not for long. They decided they wanted more land..& then some more..& then some more & continued to herd a population further out of their own lands with the USA providing the muscle. That is against international law.

Why do you think that’s acceptable? Would you like England to start expanding North & just take land as they see fit cause they’re running out of room next door & we’ve all to budge up or else we’ll be shot?

Also, it’s disingenuous going on about the bible. It doesn’t mention European, American, Australian or Canadian Jews who’ve flocked there to live either or the Christian fundamentalists. They’re not entitled to live there.

If they believed their bible their prophets warned they’d be cast out & their land would fall. It did. They were promised a saviour – they didn’t believe him.

LOL

Stop digging George. The Israelis use ‘from the river to the sea’ slogan too.
link to x.com
Stick to subjects you understand.

Never go full zionist

Btw Kfir Bibas who you appeared so concerned about was killed by the IDF months ago yet Israel still pretends that he is still alive.
Hamas determination to send back the remains collapsed the first ceasefire because the Israelis didn’t want them returned.

@Hatuey 10:10 pm
I arguing that the Scottish Independence Movement should not side with Genocide on one side or the other. Either Palestinian or Jewish. You said to me recently you were a visionary. And yet you can’t see what’s in front of you.

George Ferguson, wow Scotland existed before Kenneth McAlpine , every day is a skool day!
So The Jewish sect in their book called the land Israel however the contemporary Greeks and others including the Jews in earlier versions of the Old Testament did not give it that name . See link below
The Israelis changed the Arabic place names to Hebrew starting from 1949 , so for example the port of Umm al-Rashr?sh Is now Eliat.

Ah well you do marvel at some of the BTL comments.

There was never a Palestinian land says one erudite blogger. Consequently there were never any Palestinians, ergo there is no issue today.

Jog on folks, nothing to see!

Alf Baird, I have a great deal of respect in your knowledge however ancient dna analysis has proved beyond doubt that the Picts were not descended from the Neolithic Farmers
I thought the same as you for a long time.
Basically pre Roman/Viking/Anglo Saxon three migrations into what is now UK/Ireland
1st post ice age Western a Hunter Gatherers, dark skinned, blue eyed small in stature.
2nd Neolithic farmers dark skins, small in stature , 5’ 3” average Lactose intolerant into
adulthood. From around 4500 bce, y dna Haplogroup various but mainly g2a (check out a photo of a Sardinian and you will see what they looked like)
3rd Bell Beaker People from Western Steppes , (sythia as per the Declaration of Arbroath)
Taller ave height 5’ 7” Lactose Tolerant into adulthood , also heavier bones, perhaps drinking Milk may have made the difference , red hair, Y DNA Haplogroup R1b, Male population displacement of 90% in what is now UK and Ireland (Not Orkney) there is a hypothesis by eminent archaeologist Barry Cunliffe that the Celtic Culture and Language came from the Bell Beaker folk and originated on the Atlantic Seaboard between Iberia and now Uk/Ireland and spread eastwards , which differs from older hypothesis of Celts originating in Central Europe circa 500bc and moving west and further East, incidentally recently on X I asked the well known archeologist Prof Alice Robert’s what she thought about Barry Cunliffe’s Celts from the West Hypothesis as she in last five years or so wrote and appeared on The BBC stating the La Tenne/Halstatt theory , she responded that given the dna evidence of no meaningful migration after the Beaker People it makes a good case. Anyways 90% of modern Scots and Irish/Welsh have males have Y Haplogroup R1b and a surprisingly high proportion of English have it as well, the Germanic tribes like the English have the same Y dna Haplogroup as the East Scythian’s which is R1b , it is interesting to note that a east Scythian warrior group which had graves in permafrost , which meant the bodies still had skin were found to be heavily tattooed, were west sythians tattooed as well and was it all the Scythian’s who were tattooed or just the Warriors? If so were the Picts a Warrior Band? The Irish legends say the Picts came from Sythia with no woman and the Irish gave them women and told them of what is now Scotland and as part of the deal was that the Picts had to pick their Kings from the Maternal line. Recent ecavations at Lundun Links in Fife of a Pictish Graveyard disprove that story but it’s only a small sample and Pictish remains are few due to the acidic soil in Scotland.
Another think to note, regarding the Scotti being from a Pharoahs daughter, although the ancient Egyptians were not Y dna Haplogroup , King Tut was R1b according to one article I read! king Tuts father and Mother were Brother and sister according to DNA tests, in the Neolithic Tomb of Newgrange in Ireland (later used by Beaker People ) dna analysis of bones found that somebody of high office (otherwise would not have been buried at Newgrange) was offspring of a brother and sister. Seems like same belief system that Pharoahs/kings were descended from the Gods therefore you did not want to dilute the bloodline.
I have not done much research into the mtdna of the matrilineal side, but one thing that I noticed several weeks ago was that the rev stated in an article that the average height of a female in the UK was5’ 3” well that’s the average height of the Neolithic Farmers and in the UK/Ireland I don’t think the Beaker People brought many females with them!
More research required.

Lenny Hartley @ 2:17 am

“dna analysis”

Thanks, but I think I’ll stick with the archaeological and historical record, much of which I can still see, rather than current voodoo science.

Alf Baird noticed a typo in my post above, east sythians and Germanic y dna Haplogroup r1a not R1b

@John Main 10.19am

As the usual suspects in this place amply demonstrate, there will always be a leavening of cranks in any mass movement. It is to say the least unfortunate that a hard core coterie of yon types have taken up residence in this place, and have done so much to soil it’s reputation and render what used to be a valuable resource for the movement less effective by spouting their unreason, bigotry and deflecting from more important work.

There was never a truer aphorism than “those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about TRA zealots, the vatniks, Orc friends and Hamas apologists in here, or sundry other sub-MAGA tin foil hat wearing zoomers like @GasGilligan referred to above. All of them are politically toxic and corrosive of our democracy and liberties.

On the eve of the introduction of deeply regressive the Hate Crime Act, it turns my stomach as a supporter of independence that the last best hope for many of us is that the UK government and/or Supreme Court will finally wake up to the implications of folk in England being arrested at the request of Police Scotland based on anonymous allegations of Wrong Think.

Nothing can demonstrate more clearly the failure of the devolutionary system, the need for reform, and the dangers of parties being in thrall to coteries of wedge-issue punting ideological zealots, than the current bùrach.

It’s beyond belief that this totally unnecessary “made in Holyrood” omnishambles is distracting from the real task at hand. Enough and more than enough of this kind of thing. It isn’t enough for the SNP just to be defeated and humiliated at the next Westminster General election: it must be destroyed as a political force. Nothing less will do.

Hopefully the Scottish voters will recognise they have been had in time to effect change at the Holyrood 2026 elections. If not, we may be waiting longer than most of us would like to for a better opportunity.

Zionism is an English exceptionalism creation which morphed into a political tool to control the Middle East soon after the invention of Oil drilling in Baku in the mid 1800s.

When viewed this way the Bolsheviks, 404s, Arabs, Israelis all have their parts to play.

It’s about political influence through oil, but Genocide John, who thinks facts older than 60 years are ‘ancient guff’ and so, can form no coherent analysis, leaving him only sarcasm and ignorant opinions.

Btw a picture of human shields
link to x.com

Alf Baird, ah well, each to their own , however you will find that all the professionals in their field aka the Archaeologists believe in what you call Voodoo Science.
Btw what you say may be true of the Picts in Orkney, the Dna evidence show that the Picts in Orkney were of Neolithic stock meaning the Pictish Culture there was spread there .
From university of Aberdeen paper

The Iron Age and unadmixed Viking Age Orcadians also show the highest degree of a red ancestry component (Figs 2B and S7), which is inconsistent with having originated from direct gene flow from any population included in this study and instead likely reflects retention of a less diverse pre-Iron Age ancestry in Orkney and/or strong genetic drift (such as a bottleneck or founder effect) (see [45] for insight on how a bottleneck or admixture can result in a similar ADMIXTURE profile). In fact, recent research show that Bronze Age populations in Orkney were differentiated from their counterparts on mainland Britain because of strong genetic drift as a result of a small ancestral population size, which was deduced from the observation of a relatively high number of short runs of homozygosity [13]. The Bronze Age Orkney population also retained the Y-chromosomal haplogroup I2, which is associated with Neolithic ancestry, while the R1b haplogroup associated with Bell Beaker expansion largely replaced the I2 haplogroups in the rest of Britain [13]. Moreover, although modern Orcadians are differentiated from the rest of the British Isles due to extensive admixture with Scandinavians, recent genomic research shows that genetic drift also played an important role [11,46]. This is consistent with our results that show a high proportion of shared IBD segments among modern Orcadians (>1 to >6 cM, S19 Fig), meaning they share a high proportion of recent common genetic ancestors relative to most modern European populations, typical of small or genetically isolated populations. Three Orcadians dated from the Late Iron Age and Viking Age also displayed the highest number of small HBD 9.5 cM), the longest observed amongst all ancient individuals and indicative of small population size or consanguinity (S26 Fig). Overall, these data indicate a long-term small population size, which likely contributed to the extensive genetic drift observed in modern Orcadians. The genetic differentiation between populations living in Orkney and Scotland during the Late Iron Age and early medieval period could thus be partially explained by different degrees of genetic drift.
