    This whole exercise has similarities with events in Nazi era Germany where people who were Jewish were publically identified by the wearing of star of David badges.

    It is sinister in the extreme and very clearly shines a light on the dark places at the heart of Scottish Unionism as well as the utter nastiness that corrupts the Labour Party.

    I’ve said this before on Wings, but Labour were taken over by gangsters in Scotland and elsewhere in the British Isles and those gangsters, still present in the Scottish branch, are all Sociopaths.

    At this rate it is a membership of Labour that is going to be regarded as a badge of shame. What right thinking person in a democracy can justify such a bitter and, frankly dangerous exercise in sheer hatred for those who disagree with them.

    This is “Othering” on a grand scale.

    Yes, we can look at it and laugh at the sheer stupidity and pettiness that lies behind it, but Labour are now moving into dangerous waters.

    Won’t be long before someone produces similar lists of “confirmed” Labour, Tory, LibDems members me thinks. But will that get the same publicity? I doubt it.

    For sure I think the SNP should drop these “members” but will Labour, Tory or LibDem do the same when their “abusive members” fall out of the woodwork?

    Honestly, is this the best that Labour can come up with? Where’s the policies to win people over? Why aren’t they taking on this grossly unequal society of ours or the big businesses and the banks whose treatment of the people of this country has been far more “abusive” than some sweary Twitteratti?

    Hardly top notch journalism too. Let’s see what PeatWorriers investigation comes up with. I am willing to bet its worse than this.

    I think for the tiny minority of those on the pro indy side who are abusive its through frustration at not having much of a main stream voice. When you feel like your views aren’t represented it can be upsetting. Some people cant deal with this and it comes out in abusive tweets, the only power they feel they have as individuals. But I think I should leave the head shrinking to the professionals.

    As a gamer, online gaming is loaded with a lot worse. I’ve seen people tell others to “get cancer” and terrible terrible things about my mother. Point is, this is the internet, and until kids are taught from an early age that you should show the same manners online as you do in person this will continue.

    I think the pro independence side of things are remarkably democratic, calm and rational. I think this bodes incredibly well.

    Calling people silly abusive names is just part of life in a heated argument, on or off line.

    When a person is really really angry with someone else, calling them a b**ch, or a c*w happens. I personally wouldn’t, but an awful lot of folk would!

    Calling people T** or Q**, well, in a good few cases I don’t see that as abusive, I see it as genuine appraisal of someone’s behaviour regarding their country and it’s interests. Don’t get me wrong, Unionists are entitled to their views and entitled to express them. However, self interest, lying, cheating, undermining democracy and unfounded fearmongering deserve the T & Q labels in my opinion.

    Where is the STRONG stuff? The death threats, the mention of firearms, the hanging from trees we have seen from Unionist idiots? Where are the messages which constitute something actually illegal? Unpleasant, yes, illegal?

    Haud oan, keep the heid.

    When, as we are now seeing, sworn enemies such as the Conservative and Labour Parties and the Daily Heil, getting together to find common cause against an external threat – then the supporters of that threat know, we’ve got them worried and on the run.

    We on the Independence side know, internet trolling and vile cyber abuse is not a one-way street; but, our side will never be given a hearing – as far as the Unionist side and the Daily Heil and Torygraph are concerned – it is SNP bad, end of.

    But, the insiders at Westminster, the people who know the figures and are aware of just how much we Scots contribute to the UK exchequer CANNOT open the books and let it be known that we are subsidising them – they have to stick with the lie that the Sweaties are subsidy junkies, taking money from England.

    Eventually, they will be found-out. The tangled web they have woven will unravel, and we will be free. Actually, the more they lie and the greater these lies become, the sooner it will all unravel for them.

    We can urge caution in what we tweet and post, but, some will still get angry and give the Unionists ammunition, this is inevitable.

    But, if we keep the faith and if our 56-strong Praetorian Guard stand firm – SCOTLAND WILL BE FREE – sooner rather than later.

    People on this site who have been viewing and contributing for the past few years will remember pre-Ref the Daily Mail targeting contributors who had used their real names.

    Doorstepping and photographing individuals…many of whom who had said nothing abusive or threatening, yet this malicious rag went out of its way to intimidate and frighten our countrymen and women.

    This is a vain attempt to do the same. As I recall, many then bravely took the ‘I’m Spartacus’ route of self disclosure. The campaign finally fizzled out for the same reasons…that of universal disgust at sewer tactics.

    Yet again, as if we needed reminding, SLAB have no principles, no vision, and no loyalty to this country or to its working people. They cling like the lice they are to the body politic of the UK State. There parasitic bites are becoming more weaker and desperate as we move forward inexorably to Independence.

    Jackie Bird fronted the latest BBC/BT agitprop on how to save SLAB’s existence. It revealed no insight, no understanding of the collusion by SLAB in the crimes being committed by the Tories against the poor, the disabled and in particular..Scotland. This latest witch-hunt proves it.

    These cowardly betrayers of their class and country deserve to challenged and disowned of any credibility in regard to their pathetic attempts to silence democratic debate. The SNP must stand up for the rights of our citizens to express themselves freely within the laws as they currently stand.

    So whats next Labour do we all have to wear saltires to show we are Scots,then is it mass deportation to concentration camps,maybe you idiots should think very carefully about the ground you are treading and you have the cheek to call us Nazi`s.

    So Labour what you are saying by doing this is that Scots are not free to express their opinion in this UK and you think that will somehow make us change our minds,yes it has now we think you are not just hopeless but are very poor losers as well,and i have breaking news for you not all cybernats are SNP members and if you think a list is going to stop us keep dreaming muppets.

    HandandShrimp, if a whip round is needed try @RealNatalieRowe ‘s Whipping Up A Storm. We’ve all seen the photo of George Osbourne and his line of cocaine. This is the book it features in. But Chapter 27 tells about John Whittingdale’s exploits. And he has the audacity to stand up at the despatch box and lecture about the need for austerity!!!!

    Many a famous parliamentarian is mentioned in the book. Very strange that none of them have taken action against the author, though they did try to stop the publication. Now it has been published they have become strangely quiet on the issue.

    Please tell me I just imagined that dossier.

    THAT is their dossier of vile cybernats?

    I have 1 conversation (re Ian Murray’s complaint to the Speaker) where I was called a lovely list of names. It was laughable. Then when Mrs Alastair Darling’s good friend Historywoman joined in it became even more abusive. Maybe they’d like me to send that for publication too.

    Have they got any idea how ridiculous they are?

    The obvious elephant in the room in all this is that the English media and political establishment (let alone random Twitter users) routinely spews out anti-Scottish bigotry yet the Labour party says nothing. I’m sure there’s a word for people who attack their own people and never defend them…

    Thanks. That hits the nail nicely.

    It’s an asymetrical contest. The old powers are relying on old media and hate the effects of new media on them. They have lost control of the world as it now is and are struggling hopelessly to turn the clock back. Back to the days when ordinary people got their world view from newspapers and TV (and voted for UK parties) – that’s history now, going if not already gone.

    I can assure them 100% they are being called a helluva lot worse in the swamplands which i frequent.

    The swamplands i affectionately refer to may also be recognised as good old fashioned working class housing schemes. Full of unemployed people who, along with their forefathers, at one time where considered to be the backbone of our country.

    Good, honest, reliable, straightforward, hard working folk who find themselves thrown on the scrapheap through no fault of their own by a society who looks down their UKOK noses at them.

    Slabber will be very familiar with these people because they are the folk which Slabber abandoned long long ago.

    These very same people are now spitting and dancing on the grave of Slabber.

    We don’t frequent your modern trendy “gastro pubs” for we are more at home in the old traditional spit & sawdust environment and we call a spade a spade.

    No amount of dictating how we should speak will change that.

    Aye, being called a TRAITOR should be the last of their worries.
