The grave robber
As a spinoff from the hysterical Scottish media witch-hunt over last week’s piece on Neil Mackay, today we found ourselves listening to a podcast from last May by Courier editor Davie Clegg and former Scottish Labour branch manager Kezia Dugdale.
While it was obviously of personal interest, we had a specific reason for listening – we suspected it might contain some helpful information that our lawyers had been looking for (which as it happened it did).
But there was also something else really interesting that we weren’t expecting.
(We could in truth write a 10,000-word piece on all the hilariously one-sided, dishonest, ironic or flat-out untrue comments from both Clegg and Dugdale during the 45-minute episode, but you’d get bored and we’re going to focus on one in particular.)
At almost the very end (38m 40s), Clegg references an article we wrote after losing the appeal against the original sheriff’s finding. It mentioned the fact that Dugdale changed her “principle” about donating all her extra-Parliamentary earnings to Motor Neurone Disease Scotland, a charity championed by her best friend and former Labour/Better Together activist Gordon Aikman, who was tragically killed by the awful disease.
The change, which was made in the summer of 2017, meant that Dugdale trousered all the money from her appearance – which Labour had in fact refused her permission for – on “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” that November, which would otherwise have gone (after tax) to the charity “as a matter of principle”.
That meant MNDS lost out on around £45,000 to fight the monstrous and incurable disease, which currently afflicts former Scotland rugby international Doddie Weir.
But Dugdale has never offered any sort of defence or explanation of why she did so – partly of course because a fawning Scottish media has never asked her for one, even during literally hours of airtime and many column inches in which she’s been allowed to give her side of the case unchallenged – a privilege never offered to us by anyone.
But on the podcast she does, and it’s startling.
(The Stooshie, 29 May 2020)
.
So in essence Dugdale is, remarkably, blaming Wings for the fact that she pocketed £45,000 that should have gone to MND Scotland,
Now, even on the superficial level that’s a massive lie, because the court case wasn’t costing Dugdale a penny – as she notes in the interview, all her legal fees were being picked up by the Labour Party and then by the Daily Record. But let’s take it at face value just for the sake of argument.
Because as we know, Dugdale won the case. She had no legal fees to pay. (We, in fact, are paying her legal fees.) So if she wanted to she could have given the money to MND Scotland then, when any threat of costs was gone.
But she didn’t. Because by that point – rather than holding onto it to pay any potential legal bills that might have arisen from our appeal, which wasn’t heard until April 2020 – she’d already blown it on buying herself a house, almost two years earlier.
This, we might remind viewers, is someone who claimed yesterday to be an exemplar of “decency”, and whose stated job is to restore public faith and trust in politicians.
Dugdale is very well paid for being the Director of the John Smith Centre For Public Service – her salary isn’t disclosed publicly but is widely believed to be higher than the £62,000 that she got as an MSP when she wasn’t off abandoning her constituents to debase herself in the jungle.
That’s a pretty tasty wedge, especially as she now lives with SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth, and therefore has a household income well in excess of £120,000 a year.
So we’re pretty sure that to help out with the restoration of faith and trust in politics she could easily afford to donate £1000 a month to MND Scotland for the next four years to replace the money her conveniently vanished “principles” cheated them out of.
If she does, rest assured we’ll place our sincere approval on the record.
I won’t hold my breath Stu.
The Clegg and Dug would be a good name for a pub or a cartoon strip.
Politicians you just cant trust any.
Does anyone know of a politician in any party with integrity?
Quiet river runs deep. Dugdale is like a fountain.
Always thought she was classic Labour.
A warning to those of you for some unknown reason are tempted to vote Labour at any stage especially now as the SNP sinks.
Repeat after me I must not vote Labour.
As you already know you will burn in hell if you vote Tory.
Lib what? Ha ha.
“..now lives with SNP MSP…”. I’ve got nothing against having friends from different factions but this reminds me that Duncan Hothersall said last year that he has several friends in Edinburgh Central SNP. Has the SNP been working with Labour all this time? Idk but I don’t trust either party now!

Who would have have thought Dippy was dipping the charity’s till?
Well Me!
She and Boris would be podium finishers on a pathological liars completition.
Hilarious. I’m embarrassed for her. And we know she reads this site, they all do.
I’m sure I remember she was criticised for going on that TV show, did she respond to criticism by saying she was doing it for charity?
Nice little mechanism, if she did…
Seriously, are there any students at Uni who give Dippy Dugdale
any credibility having seen her track record?
Any students approaching her likely ask what Ant & Dec are like.
So we’re pretty sure that to help with the restoration of faith and trust in politics she could easily afford to donate £1000 a month to MND Scotland for the next four years to replace the money her conveniently vanished “principles” cheated them out of.
—-
Even if she did promise to do that, she’d no doubt do the same I’m-not-a-celeb-cash tactic yet again so she doesn’t spend any money.
If she promied to donate to MND Scotland, she would probably have to divert the money to emergency medical treatment for the garden toad or some other far flung alibi in a bid to not stay true to her words, again.
Giving with one hand and taking away with the other, she has no principles, nor respect, nor decency for anyone who has been debilitated by MND.
This allegiance goes way back it seems.
Was the trip to the US the start of the SNP rot? You might almost feel sorry if certain SNP people have been manipulated by the two above.
I think there are few people in politics more despicable than Dugdale.
Man, they must really hate your existence, holding them to account, exposing their true character.
You’re winning, Stuart – we’re winning off the back of you – we’re the good in Scotland whilst they are the dregs, the bottom-feeders, the used-to-getting-away-with-it carpetbaggers.
Wire-into them, mate.
Btw, have money, will crowdfund.
She doesn’t like to talk about what she does for charidee.
If they are not kissing babies they are stealing their lollipops.
But grandstanding on a charity then not following through has to be a new low.
B’astard is alive and well
As you and many others are aware to do any such thing that you propose would require INTEGRITY,HONESTY,EMPATHY and a desire to be charitable, something which is sadly lacking if not totally missing in most of the people like dugdale who pose as politicians with the false narrative that they work for the benefit of those who elect them
For Scots to think that they are a politically aware nation when we can elect people of such morality combined with the unfeeling self serving amoral zombies that reside within the Scottish Parliament and our Scottish Government contradicts that view
But he role now is bringing decency into politics. I guess clegg dances to her tune – a New York State of mind.
Wings should do a crowdfund for MND Scotland and get them the £45,000 she kept.
Nice editing on the audio. 😉
Getting the blame for everything aren’t you? Bet the SNP will blame you for independence too.
I’d forgotten all about Dugdale trousering the booty from I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. She really is a low life, the lowest of the low, to promise a charity trying to find cures for such a horrible affliction, the cash and then to effectively say to them f*ck you, I’m buying myself a house, is nothing short of sickening.
A vile nasty wee creature like her shouldn’t ever, be able to hold a public position ever again.
Cleg – Parasite. Horsefly
Dugdale – Parasite. Horse’s arse.

Utter c**ts the pair of them. Scotland needs a massive overhaul of it’s political and legal system.
Feckin sick of the lot of them – labour/Snp – just on the make and the take.
There are some good ones who aren’t – and we know who they are. How do we know them? Well they tend to be the ones whom their own party vilifies and who have the temerity to speak out for science, the truth, women and oh, what was that other thing? Scotland.
Hell mend the rest of them – and the ones who stay silent so they can pick up their pay cheque at our expense. Disgraceful
Nicola is to the SNP and independence what Tony Blair was to Labour and socialism. Theresa May’s biggest success was our Nicola, just like Blair was Maggie Thatcher’s.
O/T might be important.
This looks like a coordinated attempt to suppress Alex Salmond’s info from getting out there on Wednesday.

@Brian – They are one and the same thing, Brian. That’s the problem. They should be separate but they are not. Special Measures required for our legal profession I’m afraid. We pay them top money for feck-all.
Now say what you like about the Tories, but there’s no ambiguity with those boys, every single one of them is in politics to get( even) richer, no pretence, no shielding it.
Whereas Labour pols are a bunch of hypocritical, two faced, phoney and duplicitous tossers to a person. This story being just the latest example in an extremely long line of Labour MP’s who gravitate, post politics, into very comfortable sinecures’ or the House of Lords, which is utterly disgraceful, but sadly predictable.
Not one vote will they ever get from me in the future
I love that the Blether is basically the SNP recreating that Scot Labour Red Robin thing from years ago to try to compete with Wings. So progressive, so Pravda. I wonder who it was on salary that came up with it (and did they really have no better ideas?)
The Clegg on the Dug mair like Breastplate.
@Republicofscotland 4.56pm
“blether” (NOUN) Scottish
1) mass noun – Long-winded talk with no real substance.
Bang to rights OED!
The twenty-two strong Police Scotland Alex Salmond dirt finding team is still actively looking for dirt on Salmond, a continuing witch hunt I say, why, we probably know that answer, but how much is it costing the taxpayer.
Meanwhile Police Scotland are to haul Craig Murray in for questioning, with regards to Murrell, as if the man’s not under enough pressure waiting for the outcome of his court appearance.

RepofScot @5:08
One of those calling on the Holyrood Corporate Body to stop publication is Sarah Masson, who is the SNP candidate for Edinburgh Western in May’s election.
ROS, that looks like Sarah Masson will be losing at least 2 votes then and more if I can help it.
Stu, You are mistaken, tax isn’t paid on charitable donations so the charity would have been paid the full appearance money£70k.
RepublicofScotland, there was quite a nice response to that: https://twitter.com/TheGeneGenie3/status/1363890342089682946
@Republicofscotland 5.08pm
I see @_sarahmasson the prospective candidate for Edinburgh West (and failed candidate for the same place WM in 2019) is one of the cut and paste fluffers trying to stop open government.
I always knew she was a wrong ‘un: she issued a lengthy non-answer when I emailed her prior to the WM election asking about her views on the GRA, self-ID etc., tho it was always fairly obvious from her twitter feed, likes re-tweets and friends where she stood.
She’s a prime example of the kind of person we don’t want in Holyrood, or indeed anywhere else remotely near power or influence.
“I changed [the register of interests] because I was being sued, and I needed to be able to get myself in a situation where I could, if I needed to, earn enough money to pay legal bills.”
OK then Did she not get her legal bills paid by first the Labour Party and then the Daily Rascal or visa versa.
Clegg ?? Was he not best buddies with the Dug on a junket?
Anyway a politician makes a financial promise and welches on the promise,bit like what’s his face
Ah, the John Smith Centre. I’d forgotten about them until now. As far as I am aware their job is to restore trust in politics, but maybe they’re just waiting until things get *really* bad.
Coincidentally was there any truth in the rumour – as far as I am aware it was only a rumour – that Kezia once ran an internet troll account called Fifi la Bon Bon?
I’ve always had a soft spot for Dugdale. As do my acquaintances down at the Talking Mongoose Appreciation Society.
@stonefree – I understand that Clegg carried out several deep-dives on our dug on a junket. Both Clegg and the dug are still alive and well and still in our faces.
The Redtories are having a go at WingsoverScotland because their chances of trying to find a policy that works for them and translates into the electorate not voting Tory (and allows the redtories to come in second place in the Holyrood election)is impossible. The redtories are also trying to distance themselves from Labour in England, in a desperate hope of convincing the electorate, that’s why Monica (Labour leader hopeful) keeps contradicting Keir’s policy and views.
Scunnersome woman just scunnersome.
“Coincidentally was there any truth in the rumour – as far as I am aware it was only a rumour – that Kezia once ran an internet troll account called Fifi la Bon Bon?”
Pretty much everyone thinks so but nobody’s ever proved it.
“Stu, You are mistaken, tax isn’t paid on charitable donations so the charity would have been paid the full appearance money£70k.”
So is she lying when she said she got taxed on the Daily Record column fees that she DID give to MND Scotland?
I vaguely remember a politician having a column in the Record(?) years ago, that he had to pay tax on despite donating the fee somewhere else. I think he gave the column up because of this.
Rev Stu @5:44
Since she profited from money promised to a charity perhaps she should have been Simony la Bon Bon.
what a truly reprehensible specimen of a human being. Fifi started her illustrious career in the sewer and just kept digging.
I believe there is tax relief for charitable giving. What limit I I don’t actually know.
Anyway, say one thing do another, its the way!
Rev Stu @ 5:44pm, maybe she doesn’t understand Payroll Giving or perhaps the Daily Record doesn’t operate a scheme. Also, she may have been using the term “tax” loosely and including NIC in there. If I recall Payroll Giving correctly, there is no relief from NIC. So, if she wanted to avoid a negative paycheck, she would be unable to donate the full wage to charity.
So, I suppose one could view her statement in the register of interest as correct. That does not get her off the hook with her Celebrity earnings.
I mean her statement as it relates to Daily Record earnings.
Just been sent a screen shot of a Sunday Times

Scum of the earth Oliver.
Thankfully I think you would crawl down South under a nice stone on Scottish independence.
Thon Sarah Masson .Is she a clone of
S-A-Sommerville ?
Stuart
Re comment at 5.44. I assume the Dug’s contributions to the charity would be under gift aid and therefore treated as being received by them net of tax. This allows the charity to recover basic rate tax from the Government and, assuming the Dug was a higher rate taxpayer for that tax year, she would be able to reclaim the higher rate tax element herself. I can understand why the Dug would think she had paid tax on what she donated but that is not actually the case.
So is she lying when she said she got taxed on the Daily Record column fees that she DID give to MND Scotland?
Depends how you interpret the pledge to donate all income: you would be taxed at source for the income, then include it as ‘gift aid’ in your annual tax return, thus reducing overall taxable income and therefore liability. As such the tax would effectively be claimed back, so there would be a double counting if both reducing the donation to the net amount and then offsetting against one’s wider tax liability.
I see you can’t send a reply to Sarah Masson on twitter either. Some fucking candidate for the SNP that eh ?
That’s an enormous income. I’m very comfortable on a fraction of that. If she can’t donate £1000 a month for a few years to a charity that’s as close to her heart as she claims this one is, she doesn’t have a heart. She could even gift-aid it.
She would pay tax on any earnings but the Charity would be able to claim it back if the money was donated to them.
Quite extraordinary really.
The woman who spent her career banging on about Labour values, whatever they are. Is rolling in filthy dosh earned by ill gotten gains.
Stu I don’t know if you have heard the Glen Campbell interview with Sturgeon on radio Scotland.
It’s one for you to rip apart. The absolute brass neck of Sturgeon:” Salmond has to answer to all the people who were loyal to him”. The word loyal coming out of that woman’s mouth!!
Seriously don’t fall off your chair.

She is undoubtedly an extremely busy person and I did not expect a reply to a very short email.

Utter c**ts the pair of them. Scotland needs a massive overhaul of it’s political and legal system
Absolutely. And a root and branch reform at that.
Ask anyone who in the last 20 years has pursued a complaint against their Local Authority, or gone anywhere near any Ombudsman of any description, and suddenly all the Scottish Governments obfuscation, non-cooperation, and sophistry trying to cover up their Complaints Conspiracy suddenly begins to make sense and doesn’t seem at all surprising.
I once had a letter from Swinney waffling a load of pish which bore no relation whatsoever to the issue he’d been asked to investigate, and when the complaint was restated, again, with aching clarity and written evidence, again, he just ducked the questions completely, again, and said he’d “nothing to add to the reply we’d already been given”. He came across as a real Tosser. It comes as no surprise to me he’s the preferred mouthpiece for the SNP coverup. It’ll be his years of experience doing it, but then again, behind the gloss, they’re all the same c**ts on the make.
You’re absolutely right Brian. Scottish public life and society needs a good scrub with wire wool and Domestos, made to wear a tick collar to address the more stubborn parasites, and given a re-education about the value of integrity and honesty in public life. The endemic corruption that is rife in Scotland destroys a little more of our Nation every day it goes unchallenged.
Truth be known, it’s a big part of why I want Scottish Independence, so there’s at least a chance of using the Independence process to overhaul the sad, poor excuse which passes for Local Government in Scotland. It now seems pretty unequivocal that the SNP are the very last people to be put in charge of any such reform.
Far from our champions, turns out hey’re the worst and most corrupt troughers of the lot, and are utterly shameless about using Scottish Independence for deflection and cover. Who knew?
Well me actually. I knew.
That horrible woman Sturgeon on the News saying Alex came to her house on 2nd April to tell her the all the Gory details for the first time.
What a disgrace, what an excuse for a First Minister, she is now telling the public that pinging some ones hair is a Gory detail. That was the last straw for me. I will give my vote to the Tories before I vote this abomination of a party.
@Breeks – I think a judge led inquiry is needed into the affairs of John Swinney. There are at least two cases ongoing at the moment the details of which are shocking. He’s the primary reason Holyrood will never work for Scots. We’re taking about criminal law, not nuisance-value stuff.
It’s a staggering illustration of the state of Scottish institutions that you could be made director of a university centre of public service, after only 15 years work experience entirely dedicated to self advancement within the public sphere.
You might expect it would go to someone with genuine achievements in life, that had also made some sacrifices for public benefit, not a dismal, wannabe political hack.

Man alive, her brass neck gives me the boak. Lady Muck sitting there taunting Alex Salmond about evidence after her and her minions suppressing all the evidence of their dirty coverup, month after month, after promise after to promise to cooperate fully with the inquiry, and ignoring the will of the Parliament. What a fucking disgrace she is.
I’m not a hitter of women, nor am I prone to violence at all, but I’d make an exception of a lifetime just to slap her face, not to hurt as such, but just to register my profound disgust with the creature.

Ah yes the Edinburgh airport incident the one time Mr Salmond let himself down.
This sad incident is often slipped into interviews etc who here can ever forgive Mr Salmond for this incident, the only one he has not been found NOT GUILY of.
He cannot deny that he clearly said “she has killer heels” can he not be jailed for this abuse?
Imagine someone saying that, killer heels, is it just me or is the madness running rampant?
Mr Salmond needs to prove his allegations aye if the Scottish Government stopped trying to block everything he tries to produce as evidence.
Here is a surprise for folk Mr Salmond ripped 1/2 Million GBP from the corrupt Scottish SNP Government. As they were found to be acting in an outrageous manner. No argument about that.
Alex Salmond was found to be innocent of all charges against him said the High Court.
Hello Ms Sturgeon did you get that?
Mr Salmond is the victim here despite efforts to prove otherwise and I hope the evil scum who attempted to set him up see the inside of a prison cell.
Aye. This would give you the cauld grue.
Will folk stop talking mince and say they’d vote Tory. Get a fecking life.Let the tories earn their own wretched votes, not in our name ffs.
Is that the same David Clegg who loves a bit of “slap and tickle” and “how’s yer father” with SNP Chief of Staff and close friend of Nicola, Liz Lloyd? Asking for a friend

wee monkey
In that BBC video Sturgeon says “the burden of proof remains with him”.
Well, no, it does not actually. There is more than enough evidence in the public domain to prove that this was a conspiracy against him that started as a smearing campaign that continues today. And that is even with the tons of evidence this woman’s government and aids in Government, UK civil service, Westminster and COPFS have suppressed. Therefore the burden of proof lies on Sturgeon and the conspirators to demonstrate otherwise.
This woman is a liar. Frankly, to stand there and defy Alex Salmond to prove there was a conspiracy when this woman’s government has been so evidently suppressing the evidence takes guts, I give her that. But to expect you are going to be believed, is either taking the public for fools or being unbelievably arrogant.
There is not a shadow of a doubt that they are really concerned that Mr Salmond is going to endorse or worse, front a party and that is why they are desperate to destroy him.
This conspiracy and smearing is not the brainchild of this corrupt woman. This is the British state using her as a pawn to destroy Salmond.

So is she lying when she said she got taxed on the Daily Record column fees that she DID give to MND Scotland?
The DR would have to have been making the donation directly to MND ( which they easily could have done in Dugdales name). If the money was first paid to Dugdale it would be taxable
Mia..
“This conspiracy and smearing is not the brainchild of this corrupt woman. This is the British state using her as a pawn to destroy Salmond.”
You are perfectly free, for the time being, in Scotland, to think and say these thoughts.
However what politician, of what party, wishes to stop you doing just this?
Is EVERY civil servant, police officer, et al, all part of this “brit state” conspiracy of yours??
You would be better providing some evidence instead.
Perhaps checking to see if the same DI that ran the case against Mark Meechan [aka count dankula aka nazi pug trainer] was involved with the interrogation of some 400 people [note playing safe by not saying “women”] in the fruitless trawl to smear Salmond.
Come back and let us know what you find.
Perhaps it might be Occam’s Razor ….
Evans is toast. Everything supported by documentary evidence.
SNP hierarchy fishing for complaints after the police investigation had begun. Murrell is toast.
There will be some very concerned folkss tonight on the Committee. How can they ignore this?
Masterful.
“Is EVERY civil servant, police officer, et al, all part of this “brit state” conspiracy of yours??”
Well what do you think?
“You would be better providing some evidence instead”
The evidence is already in the public domain. You just have to read it. For instance, why was there a fishing expedition against Mr Salmond in place by 31 October 2017 when the first draft of the “complaints procedure” was not written until about a week later and not signed until almost 2 months later and the first complaint did not arrive until November?
or how could Hynd consider there was such an obvious “gap” in the current procedure of complaints at the time regarding former ministers but he never thought there was also an even more obvious gap in the complaints procedure regarding former civil servants and SPADS?
Or why was it deemed to be a gap at all when former ministers are not covered by the ministerial code?
Or how it can ever be conceivable that Nicola Sturgeon did not know about the complaints communicated in November to members of her government when every email communication between the civil servants at the time those complaints arrived in November and submitted to the inquiry stipulated that the FM had to be informed?
How it can be conceivable that Woman H contacted the HQ of the SNP to put a complaint against Mr Salmond on the 5th November 2017 and Sturgeon, the leader of the party, was not informed?
“Perhaps it might be Occam’s Razor”
Absolutely, the simplest explanation is often the correct one. let’s see:
1. What is the simplest explanation for the collusion of Sturgeon’s ministers, the Uk civil service, the SNP HQ and the COPFS to suppress information?
That they have something to hide
2. What is the simplest explanation for the intervention of the UK civil service, the COPFS, the Crown Agent, the police and the SNP executive in a conspiracy to jail Mr Salmond and to smear him beyond the point he can ever come back to politics?
That the British State needs to get rid of the only man who has brought Scotland anywhere near independence, because while he might have failed in 2014, in 2021 with a majority of SNP MPs and over 50% of the vote for independence, he will not fail.
3. What is the simplest explanation for Nicola Sturgeon pulling the breaks on independence, undermining our mandates, pushing indyref away, allowing the indiref money to evaporate, destroying the SnP from within, blocking the best candidates from accessing seats, alienating half of the electorate with the genderwoowoo, attempting to derail Keating’s case and attempting to push away the man that would take us to independence?
That she is working for the British state.
4. What is the simplest explanation for the police and the COPFS to be so desperate to hide from the public the whatsapp messages of Murrell, Ruddick and the Vietnam Group when according to what Craig Murray published in his affidavit those whatsapp messages appear to show they were deliberately trying to stitch Mr Salmond up?
that those individuals are also working for the British state
5. What is the simplest explanation for the MSM and the opposition parties to help Sturgeon to smear Mr Salmond?
That Sturgeon is in the exact same team as those opposition parties and the MSM
6. What is the simplest explanation to the opposition parties and indeed Wesminster allowing Fabiani’s farce to proceed with half of the seats taken by the SNP demonstrating an enormous conflict of interest?
that Holyrood is a micky mouse parliament and the British state never wanted Sturgeon’s breach of the ministerial code and the conspiracy against Mr Salmond exposed.
7. What is the simplest explanation to the fact that evidence regarding the complaints procedure is being deliberately suppressed from the public with the excuse it will add to jigsaw identification?
That some of those conspirators acted as accusers in the Criminal Trial
8. What is the simplest explanation for the conspirators to act as accusers in the criminal trial?
That they sought anonymity
9. What is the simplest explanation as to why they sought anonymity?
That with their enforced anonymity every piece of evidence where with their names on it could be suppressed from the public.
The number of actors and institutions involved on this conspiracy and smearing exercise is so large that Occam’s Razor says it can only be the brainchild of something with the power and resources of the British state.
These people have no principles and are defended by a equally immoral media.

Is that you asking Wings to be on a Tv show?
Until and unless a new and credible independence party is launched, registered and capable of competing in every constituency seat in May I will continue to argue that independence supporters should vote SNP with their 1s vote, their constituency vote, regardless of the obvious failings of the current leadership. The SNP as a party has been severely weakened as tens of thousands have departed in disgust at misplaced priorities, missed opportunities and the revelations of devious conspiracies against former leader and First Minister Alex Salmond. However many decent independence warriors still hold SNP membership cards and they , de facto, remain the biggest independence supporting party in Scotland, even if increasingly only in words. Without the rapid emergence of a new force we should collectively hold our noses and vote SNP on the constituency section to deliver a pro-independence majority and back that up with a super Indy majority by using 2nd votes for the Dave Thompson led Action For Independence (AFI). Even if some of the Indy family choose another Indy supporting option on the List it will be more productive than wasting 2nd votes on the SNP. If you have a spare three minutes please watch and perhaps share the attached short video with independence supporting friends and groups https://youtu.be/vhlF_L_YH4M

Dear Kezia,
You promised to donate £45,000 to the charity of your dead friend.
You basked in the glory of hero-worshipping newspapers as they lauded your kindness and amazing generosity.
Then that greedy selfish spoiled little girl in you saw all that money and took it from a dead person to whom you had given your solemn word.
Kezia Ruth Ursula Dugdale, you are a grave robbing embezzler.
You know it and now thanks to the honest man whom you despise (for thickos, I refer to Stuart Campbell) the whole world knows it.
Kezia, you got away in court with the drooling imbecile act once when you were up against Stuart Campbell.
It’s an old Glasgow Polis saying, but your time will come again. By that I mean HM Courts will see your face again and you may not get away with the idiot act routine again.
Karma means that money you stole has to go to charity. By God it WILL go to charity. You are cursed every hour on every day whilst you have that money you stole from the MND charity.
Different dishonesty but justice caught up with another lowlife over-promoted piece of political detritus…

Kezia, you are a cheap thief who won the grave robber lottery. A wee bit of advice hen, maybe keep quiet and no persist in reminding people what a loathesome piece of political has-been excrement you really are.
Methinks you protesteth too much.
Then again, maybe it’s time for an encore at court. I know where you can find another dying man to screw. You do know there is a word for people like you who do things like that. It’s the “N” word. Decency prevents me from writing the full word.
Kezia Dugdale, eater of animal anus. Euuuucchhh.
Your father must be so proud of you.

Stu.
Is it true your wee pal Kezia DugAGraveRobber once said of you…
“Wings Over Scotland is as relevant a source as the Financial Times.”
– Kezia Dugdale (former leader, Scottish Labour Party)
Source: https://wingsoverscotland.com/About/
The reason I ask is that Kezia should take a wee bit of advice from some of those here at The Wings Over Scotland Financial Times supplement who are qualified to give it.
“If yer gonnae be a cheapskate Burke and Hare tribute act Kez., best not advertise the fact on Radio Bloodsucking Clegg that you kept the dead man’s money you dug up and paid off your bidey-in pal.
Even grave robbing anus-eating ghouls like Kezia Dugdale have rights.
“Ms Dugdale, You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you dug up and stole, which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

Frank, get ma spade…
I just want on remark on the fact the of how an SNP MSP and a former Labour MSP could be so cosy. It is because their politics lacks any ideological spine beyond the preservation of private property and capitalism. Any political representative of people who genuinely claims to fight for their material interests would never be able to associate themselves with those who materially diminish & under value the interests of those they represent.
‘The Blether’ isn’t exactly riveting reading, is it?
