    How uplifting it feels to donate again and to witness the surge of support for an outstanding journalist who is not afraid of the truth. I applaud your efforts Stuart…digging around in the MSM must be akin to submerging your hand in an unflushed toilet.

    We need you more than ever as we gear ourselves up for campaigning for Independence.

    Fabulous, well done. If you don’t ask, as they say.
    Thanks for all you do Stuart, short of going down the pits, it’s about the last job I would want to do.

    Scotland is much indebted to you quite frankly.

    Those who work against their own country and are paid extremely well to do that, are a disgrace. Your work counters their dreadful self seeking, self serving, short sighted and destructive acts against Scotland.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Hetty.

    Thanks to Rape Clause Mooth and her tax comments, I donated today in the hope I would ensure prior totals were bettered.

    They were.

    The next question is to ask when Holyrood will pay attention to us for IR2. Westminster cannot fight a war on two fronts and the Brexit opportunity risks slipping away, then we will be faced with the “all pull together” crap.

    Jakey Burd on the TV saying that from tomorrow, many of ‘us’ will be paying more tax. Seems like we have a ‘them and us’ status at the BBC now.
    I cannot imaging many BBC salaries falling into the lower tax bracket.
    Funny how Jakey failed to mention that 70% of Scots will be paying less tax, the 70%ers know though.

    All just another display of the way BBC attack propaganda gets us to vote tory, for the rich.

    Its what Bird and friends get paid to do, all out of the UKOK tax take.

    Shameless bullshitters, doesn’t even come close.
