Wings Over Scotland

Yeah, the poor crofter is getting worried about the departure of his gravy bus…

Unbelievable! Except it isn’t, of course.

We can’t have any influence in Westminster. How can Ian Blackford not see that?

It really does seem to be a case of “when a man’s income depends on not understanding”.

Troughers gonna trough. A wee high paying, low grafting, two day a month consultancy was never going to be enough for that snout.

“For services rendered in strengthening the Union.” I suspect!

Bloody hell! How shameful or shameless – I’m never very sure of the difference. ( Where’s BDTT when I need him?)

Blackford is a member of the British American Parliamentary Group. The BAPG are uniquely and mysteriously exempt from declaring gratuities from the State Of in their HoC Register of interests. Blackford may have been on an all expenses paid trip to the States as part of the State Department’s International Visitors Leadership Program, the point being, we don’t know because he wouldn’t have to declare it. This distinction applies to Angela Crawley and pederast Patrick Grady neither of whom declared their IVLP trip despite it occurring while Westminster was in session.

I’m shocked by this, my money would have been on Slippers being first.

1 out of 900 odd. Aye Ian. The sooner you join them the better.

Boris had the measure of the man when he said: ” I don’t know how long he’s going to last as leader of the SNP (in Westminster) but long may he rest in place. He is the araldite that is keeping our country together and for that, I thank him for what he’s doing.” Charles Kennedy would probably not have agreed though.

Not surprised. He’ll be down to his last few million & looking for a top up with comfy slippers right behind him looking to move his baffie collection.

Parasites.

When you are used to the ‘high life’, utilising tax payers money, it can be very difficult to give it up. He will undoubtedly be missing the hundreds of thousands of ‘expenses’ cash he racked up in Westminster every single year.
It makes you wonder why all the high profile SNP hierarchy resigned basically at the same time. I doubt if we will ever learn of the real reasons for this.
They do like to look after their own.

Anything happening with the ‘Alphabetties’? Would it be in contempt of court for some paper/article to list their names, the pose the question, ‘what do these individuals have in common’?
We could all answer with the likes of ‘are they all Hearts supporters? is their favourite colour purple? or other similar rubbish.

A fat bloviating useless gravy train cunt of the highest order. He should fit in well.

I wonder at what point the SNP loyalists and WGD slaves will start to wonder if they are backing the wrong horse…

Probably never. They are so personally invested admitting they were wrong would be like death for them.

Gonna take a lot of Ermine to cover this gigantic fat turd. A Stoatacaust.

” Comment seems superfluous.”

Aye, but I’m still gonna call the c#!t a shitey wee puss stain, even if it is superfluous. The man wants a title? Then Shitey wee puss stain it will be.

What a fking rat of a man. But I still don’t detest him as much as I detest the Great Betrayer, Sturgeon. What is wrong with these fuckers? Or perhaps the more poignant question is what is wrong in our society that this scum ascends to leadership?

Disgusting suggestion to even contemplate such a thing.

He and 55 other SMP MP’s haven’t farted against Westminster thunder in the last decade.

To suggest one we man who was laughed at the English MPs would be more flatulence than influence in the English House of Lords.

He could sit next to Scabby Queen Mone and Labours David Brookman who has claimed £50,000 in expenses this year but not said one word.

Maybe he would want to sit with those members that are there because an ancestor from a few hundred years ago took his peasants to fight in the Holy Wars.

The place is a farce and should be closed down as soon as a nursing home becomes available for them.

I don’t know what or where the path to independence is now but I do know it is not with the SNP.

To all the good guy and gal SNP folks left. Whatever it is that has seized control of the SNP and ruined it… their talons are in way too deep.

At thus point they are relying on your loyalty to the SNP to prolong their rule.

You need to burn the house down.

The independence movement has to go post-SNP. Or there is no independence movement.

Not at all suprising.

Well, it’s not like you didn’t warn us. Still, seeing it in black & white is the sell-out complete. What an utter moral black hole of a man, Blackford is.

Let’s look on the bright side – It definitely indicates that the utter fraud can’t see himself being a shoo-in as a list MSP.

The nuSNP must be getting polling that shows most of us have seen through them.

All we need now is everyone to move to Alba, because the only thing stopping us putting real independence candidates in every constituency is lack of funds.

And more footsoldiers would be welcome as well.

Let’s get indy done.

Everytime I drive pass a pig farm I’m reminded of politicians.

Poverty report.

Cunt!

It’s the perfect word.

If you don’t want to type that word you could always say

C U Next Tuesday

Iain Blackford C U Next Tuesday

Baroness Sausage in the tartan jacket C U Next Tuesday too.

This just proves a few points:

1. These people are not democrats and never were. No democrat can ever seek to be parachuted to that stain in a democracy. They are just crown tools waiting to receive their reward for their services to the crown.

2. They are not and never were nationalists. They are labour through and through. A real nationalist would feel revulsion at the idea of entering that chamber.

3. They never sought independence. What they sought was to stop it. They are wedded to the union and unionism to their very core.

The stupid claim that Scotland needs nationalist representation in the HoL is absolute bullshit and a pathetic excuse. What it needs is the union ended.

A real nationalist would never seek to join that relic of the past whose main purpose is to prop up the crown and the layer of privilege hanging underneath.

If he found ungluing his deceiving arse from the green seats challenging, then lifting his arse from the red seats is going to be impossible.

If as SNP leader in Westminster he could/would not do anything to deliver independence, then what the hell is he going to achieve in a bloated HoL whose very existence relies on Scotland remaining in the union?

If something is clear is that all political rejects who enter the HoLs do not do it “to settle up”. They do it to settle their arse comfortably down and, for as long as they can, continue to suck from the taxpayers’ purse teat. Independence will disappear permanently from his mind.

I wonder what other members of Sturgeon’s praetorian guard will be also rewarded with a red seat. Who will be the next joining him, Black, Russell, Grady, Smith or Slippers?

I do not know what other shock this fake SNP can bring out of the hat to make themselves even more unelectable. By now we got their message is loud and clear: they want to lose the GE.

Shortly after arriving in the House of Commons in 1967, Winnie Ewing found herself in conversation with Labour Prime Minister, Harold Wilson. “How are you settling in?” asked the old charmer. “Har- old,” she replied, “I didn’t come here to settle in. I came here to settle up!”

No sign of the SNP troughers settling up, but plenty seem intent on settling in.

Madame Écosse would be birling…

Indy for Scotland!
SNP Out!

SNP = Shitstains Needing Pensions

Rule Brittania
#VoteSNP

FFS ???

Alba need to back Salvo now btw or my membership goes in the bin

Nearly 10 years ago I proposed to my SNP branch that because of the way that the House of Lords had been reformed in the House Lords Reform Act 2014 it would be possible for the SNP to actually introduce some democracy to the House. It was going to be very tightly controlled Lords. Of course ion they get in now they will merely be continuing the trouging habits that they have got over the past 10 years at Westminster.
For interest sake this is what I proposed Conference therefore gives permission to the leader of the Party, if approached through the usual channels, to nominate party members to serve in the House of Lords under the following regulations.
1. The perspective member of the House of Lords shall be on the Register of Approved Potential Candidates
2. Perspective members of the House of Lords shall be nominated by the procedure set out in Rules on Vetting and Selection of Potential Parliamentary and Local Government Candidates.
3. The perspective nominees to the house of Lords will be elected in the form of Election in section 14.3 of the rules, and before they are nominated by the Party Leader they shall lodge with the Chief Executive of the Party an undated letter of resignation from the House of Lords in terms of section 1 of the House of Lords Reform Act 2014.
4. Attendance at the House of Lords by SNP nominated Lords shall only be on those occasions on which they are summonsed by notice from the Parliamentary Whips Office.
5. Nominees to the House of Lords shall have their letters of resignations sent to the Clerk of the House of Lords on the dissolution of Parliament or at any time as may be considered good by the National Executive Committee.
6. Detailed regulations about membership of the House of Lords shall be drawn up by the National Executive Committee and approved by Conference.

The grassroots is talking about MPs walking out of The Commons as The SNP is talking about claiming seats in The Lords.

It’s as if they are trying to piss people off.

I’m happy to hear this though. It clarifies things quite nicely.

The SNP is a Unionist party.

Hatuey

Correct. That was confirmed when the membership rejected the only independence candidate with a plan & chose the idiot continuity candidate instead. 10 years of failure was chosen to continue..

So even the membership is completely captured.

Fat three piece wearing suit cunt. To think we voted , supported , campaigned for these bastards.

Grim reading , Auld Highlander, but thanks for the link.

Rational aliens and children must wonder how a country with such terrible poverty is able to afford spending billions on weapons, and making misery, mischief, and poverty in other countries.

Clever people understand it but I don’t — we need to protect our free speech and democracy but we aren’t allowed to discuss or question it? I’m so dumb that I can’t remember voting to bomb Yemen, Gaza, or anyone really.

Maybe the bidey in is looking for someone more important to work for, no more cute lamb photos from the wife’s family croft

Tosser.

I would like to think that people will remember these slime covered SLUGS when we do gain our independence, what penalties and actions did the collaborators face in the second world war when they carried out the enemies wishes against the citizens, were they allowed to retain their trea sonous earnings and gains, were they celebrated and embraced by their fellow citizens, some of whom lost family members at the hands of those collaborators

Is it right for these betrayers to walk away with their FRAUDULENT earnings and luxury pensions when they have blatantly and miserably failed in the job they were employed to do i.e competent governance and independence for Scotland

Are we right to encourage these amoral arsewipes to laugh in our faces and treat us with OPEN CONTEMPT because that is exactly what THIS waste of oxygen and his fellow contemptibles are doing

TBQH I cannot wait for independence to get REVENGE for the dedicated unfortunates who supported these scum independence imposters through activity and financing and died waiting on these LIARS and PERVERTS to free our country, and also to get revenge for the unnecessary pain and suffering they have inflicted on ordinary normal people by their inadequate unchallenging supplication to the WM hellhole

Mac at 0850pm,

What a line. Nearly spilt my porridge.

“Gonna take a lot of Ermine to cover this gigantic fat turd. A Stoatacaust.”

Very accurate. Just yet another stinky wee Scottish london-worshipping jobby scurrying off to London, to doff his cap and get down on his knees like all the other silly Scottish unionist sh*tes.

It is clear, Mr Blackford was only ever in it for the dosh, and that swanky taxpayer funded lifestyle. I truly despise such vermin.

Hey comfy Pete, are you not going to join him???

@ Hatuey says: 24 January, 2024 at 12:31 am

I’m so dumb that I can’t remember voting to bomb Yemen, Gaza

The only people bombing Gaza are Israelis, so unless you’re an Israeli citizen, you won’t be eligible to vote. Of course, if you are an Israeli citizen, you’ll be enthusiastically cheering on the destruction of the subhuman filth that murdered, raped, maimed, kidnapped, beheaded and tortured on October 7th. I’m guessing you’re not then.

As for the Hotties, I’m content that my government should take steps to mitigate the inevitable price rises, inflation rises and interest rates rises that will result if we allow a bunch of lunatics to disrupt the shipping routes we all rely on. Scots already struggling from the cost of living crisis may well be onside with me there.

I’ll let your claim “I’m so dumb” stand unchallenged.

Innarestin article on Unherd today – “Israel is still winning the political war”.

Readers/posters whose world view is formed by Viz’s Student Grant, and who thus eternally find themselves screeching inchoately at the grown ups in the room, probably won’t get much out of it.

Reality grounded readers may find much to muse on. Ultimately, realpolitik is how the world works. If iScotland is ever to succeed, or even come into existence in the first place, engagement with reality will be needed.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick” is still the best advice for any country. By all means we can aspire to be the nicest, cuddliest wee country in the world, but don’t be surprised if the world then uses us as a doormat, politically and economically.

Best gentleman’s club in London, dontchaknow!

Will Baffy Boy be next?

All be a bit academic as the British state rushes to war.

With Grant Shaps last week whoring how the UK is preparing for war, a top general is today reporting how we all need to prepare for call up.

Ergo, from today’s Telegraph –

The British public will be called up to fight if the UK goes to war because the military is too small, the head of the Army is to warn.

General Sir Patrick Sanders will stress the need for the Government to “mobilise the nation” in the event of war with Russia in a speech on Wednesday.

” With the British Army being reduced to its smallest size for centuries, The Telegraph understands Gen Sir Patrick, who has been openly critical of troop cuts, wants British men and women to be prepared for a CALL-UP”

And this British beligefence to fight is what Blackford and his SNP want to sign up with.

Sadly, the big slaughter appears to be cometh again.

Ffffffffff…..

To be expected from today’s SNP. The idea probably came from Sturgeon. She’ll be anxious by now to receive her reward for betraying the Scottish people.

BDTT , thanks for that , I can happily use both! Hope you are progressing towards good health.

Willie , that is terrifying . If we were independent we could prevent the young of Scotland being used as cannon fodder for outrageous attacks on other countries.

Dorothy Devine 9.31am.

Being used as cannon fodder again you mean. 26.4 % Scottish casualties in the first war alone. The second war had an even higher percentage of Scottish casualties. but the numbers were lower due to it being a mobile war. No wonder our population remains low even today.

Collaborator & Traitor!

The Russians and the British share so much love and so much common ground. We are practically the same as each other. Whites fighting whites. No thank you.

I’ll give the Russians a big hug. And we can all, go to a music festival together. The British want to conscript me. They’ll have to kill me themselves.

I’ll be with the 1 million Palestinian activists in London ready to kick fuck out of any Tory MP I see walking past.

Get it right up them. Britain has fallen. Time for Independence.

The SNP mask slips just that little bit more, no doubt budding Speaker of the House Pete Wishart will think this is a great idea.

I’m old enough to have seen guys who had arms and legs blown off in some conflict in far distant places.

They had their trouser leg tied up or their jacket sleeve pinned to stop the things flapping around.

My grandmothers brother never returned from ww1 and his name is on a memorial which none of the family have ever seen.

Oh, but they got a memorial death plaque made of copper. Big deal for a life lost.

£300 per day expenses plus travel expenses plus subsidised bars and restaurants. I can’t understand what attracts Blackford to this place.

Johnlm

LOL!

Coincidentally I was watching this earlier on the dire state of the British Armed forces.

Turns out all the immigrants don’t want to join and going woke (i.e. anti-white) is not a great recruitment driver for white people. London for example is 13% of the population but only contributes 3% to recruits. Lots of interesting data in it.

link to youtube.com

One thing that occurred to me watching it, is that we spend a lot of time focussing on the treatment of Scotland and Scots by the people running the UK on this website (and rightfully so) but when I look at the way they treat indigenous white English people it is very obvious they despise them, just as much as us.

This is actually true now of all (far) Western countries it seems. ‘Our leaders’ are seemingly doing everything they can to degrade, destroy and replace us. We have been occupied.

Get ready for conscription.

Just like they sent a generation of young Ukr@inians to their deaths for nothing do you really think you will be immune to it if it comes. They have units there sitting behind the front lines to shoot anyone who tries to retreat. Press gangs are grabbing old men from bus stops. I forget what the age limit is now as they keep raising it. They are also sending women to the front as well. Rus$ians making videos find trenches full of dead Ukr@inian women.

Boris Johnson is coated in their blood from head to foot, bathed in it.

The Jimmy Dore show I think it was had a dedicated show ripping the pish out of the British Navy because it was forced to advertise on the internet for the position of Admiral. I shit you not.

They can’t find someone suitable from with their own ranks. Which is absolutely astonishing, especially when you consider it is the Navy who controls the UK’s so called nuclear deterrent.

Apparently the reason our air craft carriers are unable to go support the US in the Med / Red sea is we don’t have the people to man them.

Wokeism is destroying the UK (and the West) just as it was designed to do.

I was watching something the other day & it stated over 70% of those who return from wars have PTSD.

This has a devastating affect on their life, their family & their ability to function in civilian life & they resort to substance abuse, domestic violence, eviction & even murder/Familicide.

They’d have been better staying at home. The T*liban is still the T*liban & B*n L*den never seen the inside of a courtroom despite *Western values*

What they should’ve done was return home & drag the warmonger elites to the front line instead. The whole UK government who voted can go in first..

Look at the embarrassment of them all on Remembrance week standing there with their medals like they actually did anything but go on a wee cruise around the Med & shagging the natives & the yoons lap it all up while trying to spot who isn’t singing GSTK loud enough, who isn’t wearing a poppy & who isnt waving a plastic fleg like a r*tardo.

Lads, stay at home with yer feet up. None of our business until they’re coming for us & they’re nowhere near us.

What an absolute insult to everyone living in Britain. This British general.

We need to wage war on the people traffickers and the boats. And not the Russians.

And BTW. Fuck Zelensky. A tosser. He’s destroyed his country. Stupid cunt can lie in his bead. Fuck them.

NATO.

Urseloa Von Der LEYENN. And the EU military Block.

And Joe Biden and Bill Clinton – he likes them young – as we know from the Jeffrey Epstien files. He likes them young doesn’t he?

The hilary Clinton foundation. That hates Scotland. She’s not welcome near. And neither is Nicola Sturgeon.

We’re only fighting for Independence. She can do one. I’m telling you. Raging about this. The nerve.

Ok, so I’m a day early, but the behaviour of Blackford & Co. ensure that this verse remains as relevant today as when first penned some 233 years ago…

What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro’ many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling ("Tractor" - Ed)’s wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour’s station;
But English gold has been our bane –
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

Military conscription game changer for Indy?

Ellis asked the following on the previous thread:

Ask yourself why they can never explain why no party or significant political figures actually support the policies they advocate.

It’s an interesting question. Ellis had a long break from Wings so he might have missed the answer.

Stu wrote a article explaining it. It was called

*Ahhh! Bisto.

The ‘they’ he is refering to is everyone except himself, Main & Chas.

*Ahhh! Bisto Can anyone help Ellis out by posting a link to the article.

Ellis asked the following on the previous thread:

Ask yourself why they can never explain why no party or significant political figures actually support the policies they advocate.

It’s an interesting question.

It appears according to Ellis there are two groups posting here. There are them and us.

Ellis’s group = Ellis, Main & Chas everyone else is the other group.

I have no idea what policies the Ellis, Main & Chas are advocating for.

The only policy I advocated for was the ‘Repeal of the Gender Recognition Act 2004’

I thought Ellis being a founder member of Alba could explain why Alba do not support this.

The other policy of would advocate for would be ‘World Peace’

Being that we have so many ‘war fetishists’ in the world I don’t have high hopes of that every happening.

I blame the soldiers. If there were no soldiers there would be no wars.

No chance of Biden taking on Put*ain in the boxing ring. Biden would shit his nappy!

Who is it we are going to war with? The whole world except Ukra*ine, Israel & the US?
Sorry I don’t watch ‘war porn’ so I haven’t a clue.

Is the role of the soldier to kill or to die?

I would imagine killing another human being would take it’s toll unless you are into that sort of thing.

It’s no wonder the ‘Naked Rambler’ walked all over the Scotland totally starkers. He refused to put on anything that resembled an army uniform. Poor bloke!

Viscount DeutscheBank has a certain ring to it.

Douchebag for short.

@Ruby, it’ll be kill or be kilt.

Blackford could just be throwing Flynn under a bus & wreaking any chance of them winning even one seat.

What exactly was the point of his takeover anyway, apart from calling us Transphobes *the dregs of society* does anyone know?

Just a reminder:

***“I often say that I’d love to pick up all the people of Scotland and get them one by one to spend a week in Westminster, to realise quite how dysfunctional the place is, and the nature of everything that happens there is just absurd.”***

The tosser just doesn’t get it does he? He wasn’t elected to be staying in Westminster. I hope the good people of Scotland help Flynn to find his way hame. Permanently.

He can go back to his wee dingy flat & have Mhairi bring him a fish supper & a kit Kat as they contemplate where it all went wrong for them…

Ruby

Aye – they get thrown on the scrap heap.

They don’t return to a hero’s welcome. Not even from the elites who they fought for.

They’re trained for aggression & they’re not untrained for civilian life.

The plebs are to be charitable & dig deep to pay for their care while charity bosses award themselves huge salaries & bonuses.

The great con is over. They’re not fighting for anything that benefits them. Just the fat cats getting fatter on the body count.

Unless they’re in the North sea ready to invade us/or there is a massive genocide going on then their problems aren’t ours. We mind our own biz..

If a country is pissed off with theirs leader then it’s up to the people to change it. Not call the world police charging in with nothing more than an outdated pot lid & rolling pin.

£12 billion on military per year. Where exactly is it spent? It’s not exactly on updated toys by the looks of it.. Im beginning to believe Trident is a tin cut out LOL

P* wouldn’t even need to put his baffles on afore it’d be game over..

No need to wonder why Ch*na wanted their Pandas back.

I’ll bet Ying & Yang would have a story to tell if they could only talk..

The UK’s version of John “Mad Dog” Bolton, Tobias Ellwwood, says that the world has a 1939 feel to it right now. Meanwhile Sky news reporting that army conscriptions might be needed to the numbers up in the British army.

Any sane person would enlist or be forced to enlist to further US/UK/Nato/EU hegemony

“In September 2018, Ellwood announced that he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel as a reservist in the psychological warfare unit 77th Brigade, which has played a central role in the government’s massive psyop to force through drastic COVID-19 restrictions.[5]

Also in 2018, he was an agent provocateur against George Papadopoulos[6] as part of the Russiagate operation.”

“The UK’s version of John “Mad Dog” Bolton, Tobias Ellwwood”

In the 77th eh? Ah, one of our very own mebbies!? lol

The drum beat for war does indeed beat ever louder.

The world is an evil place with so many enemies to be slain by the righteous. Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and now Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

The comment about Scotland losing a much greater percentage of their men than England in the previous two major world conflagrations is interesting. It reinforces what a rich reserve of cannon fodder Scotland is to the UK. And when I say cannon fodder I mean absolutely no slight whatsoever for those brave men and women who went to fight for someone else’s gold.

But history repeats and one has to ask will Scotland in the event of another major conflagration send the number of our young to go and die in foreign fields. No doubt the establishment would like to repeat the trick.

But with British Generals now declaring that we WILL be at war with China, Russia and Iran in the relatively near future what fate therefore for Scotland to become a number one target.

Its certainly a thought that every Scot should consider. War delivers nothing for the masses. War is about corporate advantage, the securement of resources be it oil, gas, minerals, or similar. War is not about making things better for the people. A brass plaque or a monument is the reward.

And the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian men women and children they can play their part. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a deliberate slaughter in a show of power.

The Dresden fire bombing killing tens of thousands of civilians was another example of the same.

Dulce et decorum est in pro patria mori. That is sadly the fate of too many. And yes, history does repeat, again, and again and again.

While in carefree doom mode,

“But history repeats and one has to ask will Scotland in the event of another major conflagration send the number of our young to go and die in foreign fields. No doubt the establishment would like to repeat the trick.”

Aye Willie, since the Irish declared their independence Ireland has avoided around 100 military conflicts that England has dragged Scotland into, and no doubt more to come.

‘No’ voters should consider that independence is far more than maybe being a few quid better or worse off, its about our own people being able to decide for themselves critically important matters such as war and peace. Independence is about how ‘a people’ behave, what we do, how we carry ourselves in the world, and how the world views us and our country.

Scots should never again crave ‘serving’ as front line colonial fodder in support of England’s imperial delusions and corporate greed. Yet unthinking ‘No’ voters still put us on that path.

Ellis, people notice when you go paltering off instead of giving honest answers — stop treating the people that take part here like idiots.

This forum, those who read and those who contribute, attracts and represents some of the most intelligent political minds in Scotland and I can assure you that the crap you plaster here like some 1980s ‘dirty protester’ is not likely to impress many of them.

As for the issue of anonymity, it’s another subject that you desperately scramble to when you’re on the ropes. You don’t need to worry about anonymity because you’re basically a cheerleader for the British State and its illegal and immoral wars.

Your views on just about everything put you at odds with most of the independence movement and you’d make a lot more sense if you stopped pretending that you were part of it. Let me sure you, though, I absolutely know that nobody is paying you to type anything here.

Anyway, my little fugazi, I thought you said I was on ignore?

“British Generals now declaring that we WILL be at war with China, Russia and Iran in the relatively near future”

What do they mean by “we” exactly? The people of the UK has not declared war on Russia, China or Iran or authorised it. Russia, China or Iran have not attacked us, so what is the real reason these indecent warmongers are softening us up to play their obscene and irresponsible warring games?

If the British establishment wishes to continue performing the role of the obedient poddle of USA and Israel, they can go themselves to fight at the front of those wars, pay for the costs, and leave the rest of us alone.

All those heartless warmongers sitting in Westminster who see bombing civilians as an acceptable strategy to preserve their privilege and that of those pulling their strings, the self-serving aristocracy and rich VIP taxdodgers who incidentally are never caught fighting at the frontline of a war but are more than happy to send our children to die instead, can go and fight their own war themselves if they are that bothered.

I do not see why it is the ordinary citizen, who gets no benefit our of maintaining these people’s privilege, the one who has to suffer the negative consequences of it all and pay always the higher price.

Frankly, it is becoming embarrassing watching British Generals and politicians undermining the UK state by continuously doing the dirty bidding on behalf of USA and Israel. When did the UK become another USA state or another part of Israel? For goodness sake, stop behaving like their poodle and let them deal with the wars they start.

UsA’s greed has caused it to lose its strangling grip on the world’s economy. It only has itself to blame for this, so I do not see why the people of the UK are now expected to clean up its mess.

It its sanctions are losing efficiency and are actually backfiring, the best thing to do is to stop them, not going like a bull to a red rag towards a war with those who are showing them for the irresponsible bully they have behaved as. Behaving like an unleashed bully is only going to open the eyes of even more countries to the risk and encourage them to move away from the dollar even faster.

I wonder if the info below may explain why the USA poodles in the UK are now thinking in selling us as cannon fodder to restore the exorbitant privilege of the dollar:

“DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran and Russia have finalised an agreement to trade in their local currencies instead of the U.S dollar, Iran’s state media reported on Wednesday.
The agreement was finalised during a meeting between the governors of the two countries’ central banks in Russia, it said.
Both Iran and Russia are subject to U.S. sanctions.
“Banks and economic actors can now use infrastructures including non-SWIFT interbank systems to deal in local currencies,” state media said”
Reuters, Dec. 27, 2023

“Back in 2019, Putin declared that time was ripe to review the dollar’s role in trade. At that time, Russia and China considered switching to the euro, the world’s second most dominant currency, as an acceptable stalemate, with the ultimate goal being to use their own currencies.
Earlier in the current year, Russia paid dividends from the Sakhalin 1 and 2 oil projects in Chinese yuan instead of the dollar. Last year, Russia was cut off from the US dollar-dominated global payments systems following sweeping sanctions off the Ukraine war.
Russia has declared it will no longer accept the American currency as payment for its energy commodities but will instead switch to Chinese and Emirati currencies”

“Russia has used the yuan in trade transactions with Mongolia, the Philippines, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Japan, Tajikistan and Singapore.
The debate about the need to de-dollarize Global South economies isn’t new, but 2023 will go down in history as the year in which this process accelerated”
Ramos, M (21 Dec 2023) “De-dollarization: 95% of the trade between China and Russia didn’t use the US dollar”

China, Russia and Iran are showing the middle finger to USA. But what the hell was anybody expecting? Were they seriously expecting these powerful countries were simply going to wane and drop on their knees begging for mercy just because the USA chose to overreach with his self-appointment as the policeman of the world and, on its own accord, attempt to take control of those countries’ economies? With what right? Would USA retreat if the situation was the other way round and it was USA the one subjected to crippling sanctions by the rest of the world for its continuous and uninvited meddling interventions, arming “rebels” and sparking neoliberal wars?

Those irresponsible “British Generals” dreaming about sending us all to being bombed to death in USA’s war to restore the privilege of the dollar should be suspended. Fighting USA’s wars, bombing civilians and dying to prop up the dollar is not why the young people in the UK join the army.

“British Generals now declaring that we WILL be at war with C h ina, R u ssia and I r an in the relatively near future”

What do they mean by “we” exactly? The people of the UK has not declared war on R u ssia, C h ina or I r an or authorised it. R u ssia, China or Iran have not attacked us, so what is the real reason these indecent warmongers are softening us up to play their obscene and irresponsible warring games?

If the British establishment wishes to continue performing the role of the obedient poodle of USA and I s rael, they can go themselves to fight at the front of those wars, pay for the costs, and leave the rest of us alone.

All those heartless warmongers sitting in Westminster who see bombing civilians as an acceptable strategy to preserve their privilege and that of those pulling their strings, the self-serving aristocracy and rich VIP taxdodgers who incidentally are never caught fighting at the frontline of a war but are more than happy to send our children to die instead, can go and fight their own war themselves if they are that bothered.

I do not see why it is the ordinary citizen, who gets no benefit our of maintaining these people’s privilege, the one who has to suffer the negative consequences of it all and pay always the higher price.

Frankly, it is becoming embarrassing watching British Generals and politicians undermining the UK state by continuously doing the dirty bidding on behalf of USA and I s rael. When did the UK become another USA state or another part of I s rael? For goodness sake, stop behaving like their poodle and let them deal with the wars they start.

UsA’s greed has caused it to lose its strangling grip on the world’s economy. It only has itself to blame for this, so I do not see why the people of the UK are now expected to clean up its mess.

If its sanctions are losing efficiency and are actually backfiring, the best thing to do is to stop them, not going like a bull to a red rag towards a war with those who are showing them for the irresponsible bully they have behaved as. Behaving like an unleashed bully is only going to open the eyes of even more countries to the risk and encourage them to move away from the dollar even faster.

I wonder if the info below may explain why the USA poodles in the UK are now thinking in selling us as cannon fodder to restore the exorbitant privilege of the dollar:

“DUBAI (Reuters) – I r an and R u ssia have finalised an agreement to trade in their local currencies instead of the U.S dollar, I ran’s state media reported on Wednesday.
The agreement was finalised during a meeting between the governors of the two countries’ central banks in R u ssia, it said.
Both I r an and R u ssia are subject to U.S. sanctions.
“Banks and economic actors can now use infrastructures including non-SWIFT interbank systems to deal in local currencies,” state media said”
Reuters, Dec. 27, 2023

“Back in 2019, P u tin declared that time was ripe to review the dollar’s role in trade. At that time, R u ssia and C h ina considered switching to the euro, the world’s second most dominant currency, as an acceptable stalemate, with the ultimate goal being to use their own currencies.
Earlier in the current year, R u ssia paid dividends from the Sakhalin 1 and 2 oil projects in Chinese yuan instead of the dollar. Last year, R u ssia was cut off from the US dollar-dominated global payments systems following sweeping sanctions off the U k raine war.
R u ssia has declared it will no longer accept the American currency as payment for its energy commodities but will instead switch to Chinese and Emirati currencies”

I dont think he should leave his croft for to long

O/T but I was just thinking about Old Labour, New Labour and Blue Labour, all of which exist. What happened to Borrowed Labour? Could that be the SNP?

The reason HR is such a shambles is because born-and-bred Scots around the world aren’t allowed to vote. Should be a check carried out before being allowed. If you can’t answer ” what are loons and quines”? Then you can’t vote. On the same theme, why do my comments on here not appear, FFS?

How refreshing. A country with plenty of resources can trade in its own currency LOL

Without some nawbag bleating fae the sidelines:

Whit ye gonnie dae?
Whits yer new currency gonnie be?
Whit ye gonnie trade wi?
You gonnie take the Euro *scoffs*
It takes miiiiiillions of yrs to set up..

Mia,

I think the UK became the 51st State of Yankee land under Thatcher.

I think she had the hots for Reagan & Nancy could watch.

I can’t wait for when the world takes the yanks & the UK down a peg or two. The Yanks have been building Empire part Deux & it’s about to get a good humping with Ch ina. All they’d need to do would be to stop credit. That’d finish Walmart for a start LOL

Don’t the Yanks owe them billions? Maybe they want to clear their balance & kill the bookkeeper.

I have always felt that Sturgeon, Swinney, Blackford et al were far more dangeroud to the independence movement that strident nationalists.
Any referendum vite will be by its very nature, binary, but the critical middle ground is what must be won. Salmond was good at that. Sturgeon adopted Trump populism and the guaranteed support of what is currently a wavering electoral base.
Our current FM has no strategy to speak of and has inherited the toxic legacy of his predecessor. I still wonder why so many of the ‘old guard’ retired before the last HR election. There was a bad smell in the wind then for all the talk of “Free in 23”.
I still believe that Sunak said something to Sturgeon in that Glasgow hotel that roacked the boat. Suddenly freeports were in and the Greens were remarkably acqienscent.
And now our FM is happy to strike a deal with Starmer!
We have been played like a flute and I see it in the sad eyes of close activist friends who know that the game is up.
Unless, that is, the top end of the SNP jumps off the Queensferry Crossing.

Do tell us when you held a referendum to actually ask Scotland it’s opinion?

You keep claiming to know what the population thinks, what the Yes movement thinks, what Alba members think, what Wings readership thinks, what btl posters think, in fact, every single person’s thoughts & opinions throughout Scotland.

I must’ve missed it..

You are more Britnat than Indy with every post. Always deriding people & posters as blood & soil types or loons if they don’t agree with your world view. Yer a narcissist.

People that comment on here are commenting on Stus article. We’re not gonnie be banging the indy drum to try convince rabbid britnats who aren’t here to be convinced of anything but to disrupt.

If they’re looking for info they’ve came to the right site. Wings has written thousands of articles, on every topic, they can use the search function.

Stop trying to police the site & other contributers btl..

I thought Yousaf was meant to be in charge? Looks like anyone can say what they want as he has completely lost control of the party.

I think Blackford has been given a choice. Take the peerage or we show everybody the pictures.

on a lighter note – the first XL bully mauling has happened in Hamilton

the main victim was its owner, who had “rescued it from England”.

– happy days, a kind of “instant karma”

the beast took 4 in the chest, which is impressive; the taser merely irritated it. Anyone who wants to do a mitzvah – rescue as many bullies as you can, including entire litters of puppies, take them home, and kill them. I don’t know if they are useful for anything, but a pair of XL Bully mittens might be nice.

If you have a sense of humour, try this : keep one alive, starve it for a week and batter it with a big stick every day wearing your buffalo bill tranny outfit; now take it to an animal shelter and hand it in as a rescue – “its owner was going to kill it” – tell the shelter it doesn’t like men, only women.

Imagine a nationalist party of Scotland, hypnotised by hypnosis, into believing they were all XL Bullies for Indy, and getting their bite on, down in flatland

“Goose” was 9 stone and “only playing”.

XL Bully Mittens!! priceless.

I like my stars cause I’m a Princess. It highlights I’m quoting someone else or making a point better than “” does.

And anyway, who can be arsed with html on a device? Switching virtual keyboards for symbols is such a pain in the arse. I’m lucky I can see the wee box to type in without faffing about with that shit

It’d be better on a desktop but that’s been relegated to the spare room.

WordPress isn’t very good for html by the looks of some comments & there’s no quote function & now the ignore disnae work either.

I dunno what kind of outfit Stu is running around here LOL!

Good! Glad I awarded you 5 gold stars for quality posts. Not quite sure why that caused you to go on a rant about html.

I love html and everything connect to web design. I find it totally orgasmic. YES! YES! YES!

This might come as a big shock to you but you are already writing html.
That wee box where you type your text is converting your post into html. It’s called
Wisiwig! (What you see is what you get.)

If you ever decide to get your iMac out of the spare room I will show you how you can see all the html you have just written. It’s all there just underneath the wisiwig page.
Honestly it’s fascinating.

Did the ignore button ever work for you? It works for me but not in the way others might want it to.

My first request would be for an edit button.
I’m the Princess of typos and missing words.

The mad moderation bot can stay! That’s a fun game.

I don’t care about a quote button. I can do that with html. 😉 na na nana na!

WordPress is all about html. Do you mean wordpress doesn’t give it’s users ie Stu enough scope to change the html?

See if it weren’t for the likes of WordPress & all those website builder packages I would still be having orgasms building many websites for small businesses.

I do believe you can get a proper keyboard to attach to your device should you ever want to be bold
