    Wednesday is top day in the National. Superb WGD, really entertaining Kevin McKenna and Tasmina going from strength to strength.I think we have passed the point and Steven Gethins speech at Westminster,available online now,is fabulous.

    But can we bring an immediate halt to this nonsense about “declaring independence now “ or doing UDI. You can do neither unless you have the guaranteed support of a significant majority of the population, the police force, the armed services and civic government. To do a UDI without these would be a total disaster and finish us of (deservedly, for utter stupidity). I suspect many of the voices calling for such are not on our side at all. At this point in time we have to win an independence referendum or a parliamentary election (with a majority of the vote) fought on the single issue on of dissolving the union and assuming full sovereignty. Circumstances might change of course and politics indeed has a habit of accelerating change but this is where we are at the moment.

    At about 25 secs in – just imagine the outrage if a dirty old man did that to a woman.

    Call Kaye revealed that “Upskirting!” has been illegal in Scotland for eight years. The Glish are a bit behind it seems!

    Normski? Did ‘what’ to a woman? Could you explain what it is that you are seeing at 25 secs in that some of us can’t? Cheers.

    Thanks and good to see you guys back on the air and a relief from the hot air of the faux news piped into peoples’ living rooms every day. 🙂

    Chope’s carry on free for all for ultra creeps with a camera, just shows ye olde Albion up as backward, small minded and arrogant.

    Thankfully ‘upskirting’ was banned in Scotland in 2009.

    Just that alone shows how different and at times polar opposites, Scotland and Engerland are. Not a ‘part’ of Mundells’ UK, but quite apart from, in so many ways.

    Upskirting must be a devolved power then… 😉

    The Westminster unionists Gov treats migrants and refugees as bad if not worse than the US. Put their own house in order. They should be brought to order and put in jail. Break UK/EU/International Law every day. Appalling behaviour. Getting away with murder.

    The Westminster unionist Gov policies have caused the worst migrant crisis in Europe since 11WW. Killed and maimed millions of innocent people worldwide. Costing £Trillions and leaving people in total distress. Without any sympathy, empathy or understanding. Putting the burden on European and trying to walk away, without censor.

    The Irish unionists have been ruining the NI economy since 1928. Breaking U.K. Law, bigots, racist, unequal, misogynistic self seeking, embezzlers, greedy unaccounted liars. Getting away with murder. Subsidised basetcases and bribed for unionist vote.

    Westminster and publicly paid officials should retire at the Official retirement date. 67 year. A negotiated concession till 70. They should reflect the rule and Law they make on society. Not be above the Law.

    It’s Wednesday … it’s XXXX O’clock … it’s time for Dateline! 😀

    I have been pondering the imponderable now for what … oh that’s right FOUR bloody years. Now I know what the imponderable was … what am I missing on Wednesdays? 😉

    Now I know … DATELINE! 🙂

    What a right pair of slackers … leaving us all to ponder imponderables for FOUR years and not so much as a postcard!

    Welcome back Dateline =)

    Re Christopher Chope, I recall that the day before the 2014 Referendum he stated that if the Yes vote won that Westminster would overturn it anyway.

    Can that be found and brought to light now?
