Wings Over Scotland

That’s where Nicola and the alphabet sisters should be

For those interested. Craig Murray talking to Max Blumenthal about a wide range of subjects. Very good.

Touches on a lot of things including the stitch-up and his own stitch-up, really interesting interview.

youtube.com/watch?v=zr3DeygcHCY

Just been hearing that the disenchantment against the SNP in Rutherglen and Hamilton is absolutely huge.

And it’s multifaceted too in that not only are independence supporters not going to vote for the SNP but that some are actually voting with the intention of getting the SNP out.

Folks know they have been sold short by a party that has squandered mandate after mandate. They know too that against a majority in favour of remaining in Europe the SNP took us out. And they know only too well how how Humza’s SNP has totally and utterly failed to arrest economic decline and protect living standards. NHS waiting lists, unaffordable heating and lighting in a land blessed with energy, highest drug deaths in Europe, roaring food inflation whilst they focus on woke policies and their MPs trough at Westminster selling the jerseys.

And now a by election brought about through Humza’s utterly discredited predecessor throwing the popular Margaret Ferrier to the wolves.

Well no more. Folks know what the SNP is. They know they have been let down and now know that to change things they are going to have to send the SNP a message.

Fool me once shame on them. Fool me twice and shame on me. Well on the 5th of October Humza and his absolutely rotten SNP are going to get a huge message.

Our troughing colonial administrators will be left in no doubt about that!

Why padded is this in case he bangs his head when not everyone agrees with his pronouncements ?!

Aw naw it’s naw snawing is it!

It’s bloody freezin’ and I’ve just seen white flakes floatin’ past my window.

Fingers crossed it was just a couple of white feathers floatin’ up from the Parliament’s Consummption Room.

FFS I’ve just had an email from E-on with the ‘great news’ that my energy prices are going to drop.

Great just when my energy consumption will go through the roof due to snaw and freezin’ conditions.

BTY. Padded cells safe for practicing scootering.

No way, say the child minders in the SW1A 0AA creche.

How about some new born «terrible beauty» to kick you colonialist creeps in the vitals?
Not the first time, eh!
Could you hand Rutherglen back to these people?

When a few Scottish Unionist Monarchists control the media narrative.

Step forward Jim White, step forward Ally McCoist. There are more of you out there but this piece focuses on you two thanks to your disgusting condemnation of your own countrymen/women.

Colin Burnett writing in The National summed up Tuesdays 150th anniversary of the auld enemy clash perfectly by saying “This was a match between Scotland and England. Not northern uk vs southern uk.

That’s hitting the nail on the head right there.

The problem with Mr White and McCoist is they don’t appear to accept their nationality and prefer the uk badge but have the platform to portray Scotland as an irrelevance.

It is common knowledge who Ally played for in Glasgow and who Jim (Why are you so good Brian Laudrup?) supports. It is also common knowledge that they are both monarchists and Unionists. As are many within the media groups.

Looking at the recent talkSport debate, Danny Murphy defends the tartan army booing God save the king from a position of tribalistic passion and puts forward a brilliant argument to a seething Jim White.

I believe Danny is not naive but even he couldn’t see what I and other Independence and republic seeking Scots saw, Jim White and the other goon were coming from a different angle, a disturbing political angle that could be anti Scots if they weren’t careful with their words.

The problem for these unionists is once the broadcast goes live to pitch side, all their happy clapping uk narrative ceases and the true feelings of a nation can be heard.

And boy was it heard!

The 50000 Scottish nationals inside Hampden made their feelings towards the union of the crowns heard loud and clear. Not my King not my crown, not my government not my uk.

THIS IS SCOTLAND

We are here, we are always here, we have a voice and tonight you’ll fucking hear it.

White and McCoist tried to play the disrespect card and are probably still raging at being helpless to stop the boos, whilst keeping to the football rivalry debate Danny Murphy was backing.

This was not about hating England and I actually felt sorry for the players as they have no idea of the political landscape up here, as all their lives they have been spoon fed the right wing Fleet St Scotland bad, press! Gareth Southgate maintains it inspired his players and it probably did, but the boos were not solely for the players, they were mostly against the forced union we’re in and King Charles defending the protestant faith in a divisive and outdated pantomime. They couldn’t even blame it on Celtic supporters either!

I have many friends in England and they all respect my view that we want neighbours not rulers and I know the majority of my proud Scottish mates don’t hate the English either.

Nevertheless, England is as much as a foreign country to me as France, Spain and Germany! We will always be part of the British Isles but we are separate countries like they are in Scandinavia. Sadly the few unionists fronting our media on the world stage only see a union.

Going back to the title of this little piece, what happened on Tuesday night at Hampden is what happens when a collective voice gains unison and togetherness. It’s what happens when a nations voice is suppressed. It’s what happens when a privileged few think they speak for the many. It’s what happens when the briefest opportunity to be heard is seized upon.

Make no mistake folks, this is not about disrespecting the England football teams anthem or the team itself for that matter, it goes much deeper, those that were there on Tuesday gave the watching world a brief indication of Scotlands current feelings.

Mr McCoist and Mr White can see what’s coming and they and their likes are terrified.

Effijy : we need to start emphasizing that England is a foreign country. Far too many people have lost sight of that, hence the “British & Scottish” trope. The realisation will make “being ruled by a foreign country” apposite and could possibly change peoples’ perceptions.

What McCoist said was that these weren’t football supporters, they were SNP supporters and he was right.

When you go to support a team, you go to study the game and support the team. How your centre-backs play and all the rest of it.

Hampden has just been turned into a cauldron of hate now by a bunch of Nationalist thugs.

Th chances of world or European football wanting to having anything to do with these folk is non-existent.

The world moved beyond all of this at the end of the War.

That’s my opinion and I’ve been to a few football matches in my life. So too has Mr McCoist.

” Hampden has been turned into a cauldron on hate now by a bunch Nationalist thugs ” . Aw fuck off , will you ? Away n get yr nappy changed . Yr on here all time giving us yr Mr Reasonable routine whilst never failing to criticise anyone that shows a bit of passion and justified anger at the predicament Scotland finds itself in . Calling people ” Nationalist thugs ” for expressing their distaste for a dreary dirge belonging to bloodsucking ancien regime and rancid Establishment that has shat on our country for centuries just shows you for the complacent apologist for the status quo you are .

PhilM – The subject here is football and I am not being pompous to argue that football supporters go to watch their team, whether at the ground or TV or on the radio, to study the game and not to vent their political views.

If you want to vent your political views, then do it here for example, or the ballot box, or somewhere else. But, not at Hampden because it makes the place synonymous with unreasonable political aggression and no-one in world football can be arsed with that any longer.

That’s the one point that Ally McCoist was making. Quite a reasonable point in my opinion. He’s covered football all over the world and the way it works best is if there is high energy from the crowd, but that energy is focussed on football. Once it becomes focussed on anything else, the whole atmosphere changes and no-one wants that.

The crowds at Hampden are SNP supporters and they do not represent anything that’s good about Scotland or Scottish football. I found the whole spectacle embarrassing and I have been embarrassed in the past by the behaviour of supporters of my own team. But, I thought the behaviour on Tuesday night was worse than that. Absolutely needless and pointless.

I was up in Glasgow on Tuesday afternoon and oblivious that the football was on. It was that oblivious that I had seen a few guys flicking about with kilts and thought it was part of the 6 nations rugby.

I then walked past a few pubs and there were supporters singing the F the Pope and the IRA type songs.

I never really thought about it until reading the comments on here. There needs to be a bit of context with the booing of the British national anthem at Hampden.

That’s a very plush suite you’ve drawn, Chris. Far nicer than he deserves.

Yossarian;
“….I have never disrespected a National Anthem..”
“…Hampden has just been turned into a cauldron of hate now by a bunch of Nationalist thugs..”

You mean British Nationalist thugs I take it?

Oh, or do you mean the Scotch should have been happy-clapping *this*…”our” “national anthem”?

“Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King”

Away and lie in your water ya Yoon.

I am not a football supporter nor am I a member of a political party. It would appear that the logical conclusion of Captain Yossarian’s argument is the abolition of Rangers and Celtic. I not qualified to comment on the desirabilty of that outcome.

Don’t bring football into politics.
Don’t promote opinion as fact.
Did anyone survey the Tartan Army to find if they were members of the SNP?
Was anyone the victim of thuggery?
Why has the ‘British’ national anthem been hijacked by England?
Do you want an adulterer as King?
Are you happy that the King’s uncles (married to his father’s sisters) were SS officers?
Are you happy that the King’s great uncle was a proven Nazi sympathiser?

It is now common knowledge that coverage of the late Queen’s funeral was controlled by Buckingham Palace. They would appear to have less control over Hampden Park.

If Yossarian has been to as many matches as he claims, the phrase ‘Awa’ an’ bile yer heid’ should have some resonance.

Let’s keep politics out of football, sport … except when certain countries are involved, eh – wimbledon, the olympics?

Typical anglo double standards. GSTK is not really englands anthem anyway, unless you want to say Britain = England, which puts a lie to the “not a colony” bullshit – that’s a self-own.

The breakup of Yugoslavia properly began at a football match between Red Star Belgrade and Dynamo Zagreb – some serb policeman was beating a dynamo fan (croat) and one of the dynamo players lamped the copper …

Arkan and his “tigers” were a gang of football hooligans who became notorious as an “irregular” military unit when the war kicked off. “irregular” units are useless at fighting but good for doing the civilian massacres after.

Antoine – The Scotland England game is one of the oldest fixtures in world football. We should treat the fixture with respect and each other with respect. In recent years, it has been suffocated by a minority contingent of SNP supporters. I don’t know how many times I have to say that, but that is all I am saying.

Of the game itself, and I didn’t watch all of it, I thought that Clarke balanced his team well enough, and he usually does that. We couldn’t get any foothold in mid-field, especially with Gilmour, and that meant that England were just passing through us too easily. Dare I say it, a few players of McCoist’s pedigree would have helped balance it up more.

In International football, you need to be very, very good. Just like Champions League football. If the only notable performance from Scotland is the crowd booing the National Anthem, then we don’t belong any longer.

A unionist I know suggests the Scotland fans were a disgrace booing.
Apparently no other country would do that?

I’ve never known 2 countries that played football against each other
where 1 owns the other.

I know of no other country that can’t watch their national football team on national TV unless they are playing the country that owns them.

Would Ukraine fans boo the Russian anthem?
Would Palestine boo the Israeli national anthem?

Have a wee look at Englands fans behaviours over the last few decades and gauge their respect for foreign hosts.

And here’s one final point: If McMoist said “it was SNP supporters”, which i don’t know if he did because i don’t listen to the slimy lickspittle, then it was McMoist that brought politics into football with a lie. Don’t blame the folk on here for his Unionist shit-stirring in front of his English pals.

I repeat;
“Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King”

Away and lie in your water ya Yoon.

On topic: Ash Regan talking sense at Hope Over Fear – “politicians should serve the people not the other way round.”

She says we should hold a democratic event with a democratic alliance – 50% + 1 of the vote is the mandate for declaring the people have instructed a restoration of our independence.

She knows the people are Sovereign.

How I wish she had won the leadership election.

Ruby,
The C4 Despatches tonight is apparently sexual allegations against Russell Brand.
Apparently, “the usual people” don’t like the truth bombs he’s been dropping on his YouTube Channel. So, to be expected.
Best thing he’s every done in his previously useless life. Respect.
Some announcement from Toby Young’s Free Speech Union due at 3pm, I hear.

Which God do the English want to use to save their wife murdering, adulterer King?

Because England is now made up of many religions nowadays.

I don’t think a Muslim God for instance, would be too keen on saving this English arsehole.

The Scottish rugby team stands a far better chance of World Cup glory than the Scottish football team (which is pretty useless, and not really worth the bother).

I’m supporting them. And England, Wales and Ireland. I’d hope for an England vs Scotland final, but that is unlikely.

Some good speeches today in Freedom Square.

That’s an innarestin link. Thanks for posting.

I wonder if you caught the Unherd article last week about the dividing lines demarcating inner London ethnic tensions these days?

The groups mentioned are eerily reminiscent of the groups that caused the explosion of violence in Amin’s Uganda. Maybes history will repeat itself. I wonder which country the victims will flee to next time. Scotland?

And of course, Sweden too is racked by its own imported tribal hatreds. And France. Seems to be happening everywhere. But greatly under reported, so you have to look.

A snippet from Professor Alf Baird’s excellent conversation.

“Suddenly discovered that the British Union was always a hoax, that the treaty was always violated, as all treaties between colonised peoples and the imperial power were always violated.

“Whether it was native Aborigines or Indians or Scots, the treaties are always violated or even Brexit, recently, the treaty was violated almost immediately.

“Perfidious Albion can never really be trusted when it comes to treaties. So we get to this reality, and once you discover the reality, you can’t un-discover it.

“People have to understand their condition. And in the colonial environment, there is a condition, it is a colonial condition.

“They have to understand that first before they understand what independence is and why it’s necessary. And independence is decolonization. And that gives you the remedy for colonialism, the only remedy, which is liberation.”

Now Alf, in the book Civic Nationalism, it’s a very altruistic way of thinking, but you see it as a detriment to Scottish independence, don’t you?

“Well, the oppressed native only becomes a nationalist to free himself from an oppressor. We become Scottish nationalists not because we want to impose our culture, our language, on another people like our neighbour has done.

“What we’ve been suffering from is cultural imperialism. We’ve had a culture enforced on us, we’ve had a language enforced on us, and it’s all about exploiting us, our resources, and that’s what we’ve had.

“We’ve had a form of British nationalism and that ideology is a very aggressive one. That’s been enforced on us. What Scottish nationalism is about, really, is about self-determination nationalism. That’s about freeing ourselves from the oppression of imperial and ultra nationalist British ideology, which is the Tory one nation, Britain.

“So we’re about freeing ourselves from that oppression, so we’re not about imposing our nationalism on others. The question of civic nationalism only raised itself in the last decade, say, if you like.

“Civic nationalism is really defined as people from other countries having a sense of belonging to another country. That’s all very well, but people who vote no, who come from other countries into Scotland, and a lot of them that came from, say, south of the border, as well as other countries, voted against our self determination, they voted against our liberation. So they don’t have a sense of belonging to, necessarily, to Scotland.”

But over the generations, do people not then become part of that national character?

“Of course, after several generations, hundreds of years, maybe, they become part of that. But people coming in the last 10-20 years, remember, culture is a very, very difficult thing to change. You’ve said yourself that our Scottish culture stays with us even though we’re not taught the language.

“We are beginning to get the last generations of that because of media and the media changes and everything, and all the social media and societal changes. There’s fewer and fewer Scottish speakers.

“I mean, the last census in 2011 said 1.6 million people were Scotch speakers. That’s 30% of the population. That means that two thirds of us are Anglophone.

“What liberation means in colonial societies is a self recovery. Our language and our culture comes first soul, whereas what we have imposed on us is an illusion.As Dick Gaughan said.”

twathater – (or would you rather I called you Holy Willie?) Some of the songs at Ibrox and Celtic Park are indeed shameful and many cities in the world where club football is played have similar problems. World football want it stamped-out of course but there is only so much that clubs can do and so the situation is understood very well. What I will say is that the stadiums at Celtic Park and Ibrox are known throughout world football and the impression is overwhelmingly, equally, positive for both clubs. That has been the case for decades and so it is under control. The situation at Hampden is different though and it has been turned into an unhealthy hate-fest against the English by a few thousand unruly bigots wearing kilts and Doc Martens. This has all happened in the past few years and I’ll bet the footballing authorities aren’t nearly as relaxed about it as you are.

“So we’re not about imposing our nationalism on others”

Ah hae ma doots.

There’s one sure fire way to test the truth of a claim like that. Are any nationalists prepared to countenance a settlement that involves the break up of Scotland’s geographical area? Allowing, for example, the Borders to remain part of the rUK, and the Western and Shetland islands to become independent, or maybes returned to Norway?

After all, both archipelagos were originally “dragged into the Common Market against their will”. Orkney and Shetland were gifts of one monarch to another. That must have left some legacy of anger and righteous constitutional affront.

As for not having a language enforced on us. Can we assume that the threats of enforcing reading and writing in Scots, if we want employment in iScotland, have been revoked?

It’s truly difficult to get democratic support for a policy guaranteed to put 60% of the voters out of work.

I’ll gloss over the lack of interest in our Scottish ancestor’s crucial part in the colonisation and theft of the native aborigine’s and Indian’s lands. Shame the interviewer wasn’t more switched on at that point though. Some innarestin questions were missed.

The Times and The Sunday Times gave Brand eight days within which to reply to detailed allegations, including information to enable him to recall the alleged incidents.

Lawyers for Brand initially said that they were not in a position to provide any response to the allegations because we had posed a “large litany of questions” and had intentionally chosen to anonymise the names of the women.

Do the Times & Sunday Times think they are the police.

“Times asks Russell did you rape woman H.

Russell gave them the answer via video. I didn’t rape anyone.

BTY Who the hell is woman H. “

Very clever cartoon Chris. Reading some of the BTL comments I am glad I have been watching sport. But before the Wales Rugby match. What happened to all the initiatives like Nil By Mouth. Its seems to me, not much progress has been made. Or has it? I live on the East Coast so genuinely don’t have a handle of on the ground Glasgow attitudes. I did watch the first half of the Rangers match. Plenty derogatory songs about the Tartan Army. I am a Scottish supporter and used to an As One approach. Leave the sectarianism at the turnstiles and enjoy the sport. Wales kicked off hoping for a good game.

The are going to need heavier padding!

@ KT Lorimer 5.43pm the fact that the english voters constantly vote the tories (of all colours) into power and literally worship the royals says to me that they enjoy being peasants, YET their exceptionalism is off the charts

It comes across through their media that everyone is jealous of england with their royal parasites and their corrupt and incompetent parliament
All the union jackery and their fixation on “the war” means that they can never accept that their days of empire are gone and all that is left is a shithole run by thieves and scum
And that is why I want tae fuck away fae their stupidity and delusion

Yvonne Ridley’s speech at the all under one banner rally. Incredible.

She spoke along the lines of unlocking the revolutionary sprit. What a woman.

You’re dam right. She’s incredible. What a woman Yvonne Ridley best speech of the rally.

Yossarian;

Give it up, man. This pish you and Main are peddling is even more risible than usual.

Away and wave your butchers aprons somewhere else.

Scotland needs an Alexander, a Caesar, a Jinghis Khan…
Outside «the box», well outside the box thinking only will deliver.
Sadly, too many Scots plainly enjoy the box.
Have a good evening!

Saw the pics of this afternoons rallys. Many and young in Edinburgh’s climate change march against oil and gas. Fewer and older on Glasgows’s Hope Over Fear. Someone’s cleverly splitting the independence movement. First re the trans issue and now by age groups. Also desperate to avoid the return of Alex S. But damaging for independence!!

@ MaryB

I didn’t know there was a march in Edinburgh to *”save the planet”. Been far too busy with work and any spare time and energy I have left is spent harvesting and processing my own fruit and veg. If all these climate activists put a little more time into actually living a more ecologically sound existence then maybe they actually be making a difference.

* I think the planet will survive regardless, it may lose humans, but seeing as they appear too fucking dense to sustain their own existence by choosing to bicker about football, imaginary gods & religion, and marching to save the planet rather than growing their own food then in the scheme of things it’s no biggy to lose them.
C’mon the cockroaches!

Mary, the Independence supporters were singing hope over fear by Gerry Cinnamon.

It brought back all those feelings of hope. We need more of these rallies on a monthly basis.

We can do it. Hope Over Fear!

“A hit piece on one of the BTL contributors in todays Herald.”

The inconvenient fact remains, that a people may be sold, and their procurer and his local little helpers may run their affairs, exploit their resources, and block their liberation. That is how colonialism works, irrespective of the colour of the oppressed.

As Frantz Fanon wrote: “Colonial status is simply the organized reduction to slavery of a whole people.”

You are ultimately the most sustainable person on this blog. But cockroaches? Only 5 to 6 times our own tolerance to radiation. Choose the Harbrobracon parasitic wasp. 180 times the tolerance to radiation. They will change their diet from caterpillars to us or at least the remnants of us. As a Le Sportif Ireland is kicking off. You asked about my health sometime ago. I have had an MRI scan waiting on my consultant to assess my surgical options. It’s only been 5 weeks now. But I am sticking with the Scottish NHS. My wife is going spare. Promising all sorts of money for Private care. I said No after all half my family and extended family work in the SNHS.

@ Ruby

Aye, a hit piece by Leask is equivalent to being punched by a mouse.

@ George Ferguson

Hope all goes well for you with the assessment and any proposed treatment. Been struggling myself with what seems to be escalating symptoms so NHS Scotland are also on the case in an attempt to find out the issue. Whether it’s related to post infection tick bite and lyme disease last year, or something else has yet to be ascertained.
Used to be super fit getting cycling king of the mountains 5 years ago but am basically fucked now. Can’t even do 40 mins moderate exercise without it wrecking me for a week. Aching body, muscle and joint weakness, fatigue, brain fog, very poor sleep, and more concerning is the cardiac issues that have been pretty much been a constant for months now. Just had a heart rate monitor on for a week and chest X ray so will see if that casts any light on matters.

Re. Energy, was speaking to an engineer earlier who is working on the designs of the various new HVDC lines. He mentioned the HVDC transmission losses were only 3% compared to the 16% on the AC lines. #OhmsLaw
And talking of leccy lines and connections reminds me of this post from a wile back.

I’ll stick it on. It’s trial by media.

I believe in Russell Brand’s innocence. Immediately before any allegation.

Why is that?

Because the Alphabetties LIED. THEY LIED. and they committed PERJURY. There not believed.

And because of the lies of the ALPHABETTIES. I don’t believe allegations of sexual violence against anyone.

Because of the lying aphabetties adding to the public conversation.

Woman H is a disgrace to woman all over Scotland.

Woman H. Send her to CELL BLOCK H. in Corton Vale.

Men have had their fare share of smearing lying bitches. Time for justice. Time for the male Me TOO.

I wish Russell Brand all the success in defending himself.

@Dan 8:58pm
Us auld guys are resilient. On AC versus DC. I was part of the decommissioning of Carolina Port ‘A’ Power Station, DC as a young undergraduate. DC works well in confined City distribution networks. Served Dundee well with infrequent outages. It’s the old Tesla argument AC is preferred for grid system stability reasons. And losses over a extended network. Also wind turbines for example are dirty sources of Power too much Inductive load on the network. Equally Infinite busbars don’t like DC. However if you argued that communities and households should look after their own energy requirements then you have a case. It’s got to be 15 years I argued this case. We can’t rely on a broken energy market and Institutional and foreign investors to charge us 3 times that of the average energy bill of Europeans.

The beginning of the end for Channel 4, Dispatches and the Daily Mail. It is inevitable.

Brand says: “Witnesses that directly contradict the narrative being portrayed by the media.”

It’s the same old playbook, that they started with Julien Assange. When you tell the truth they come after you. Brand is outspoken against the elite. I believe him. I hate to see a good man’s name dragged through the dirt.

Football is War by Other Means …

I prefer the old football songs, like the classic

we hate Jimmy-Hill …
he’s a P00F
HE’S A P000000F

consider the view of a great Scot, a great socialist –

link to youtube.com

Sport is ritualised combat, sporting heroes like the famous warriors of old …

Maradona in his great game defeating England in the worldcup – the hand of God then the goal of the century – made a rousing speech about the Falklands and the argentinian boys, mostly conscripts “shot down like little birds” – the British Army to give it its due is well-trained and professional, while the argies on paper had numerical advantage, a lot of it was amateur-night.

– it did the trick, it got his blood up and helped his team mates to do their bit; England played okay in the last 10 minutes and Lineker missed a sitter to equalise, and these were just lads themselves who never shot anyone, but they pull on the shirt.

link to youtube.com

Would a Scotland captain give it a blood and guts ripsnorter in the dressing room about – the clearances, culloden, 55 billion barrels of oil, margaret thatcher … ? Doubt it.

The daft thing is when you think about it – would England give up the Falkland Islands for a World Cup win??

of-fucking-course-it-would

My uncle flew a jet in the Falklands War BTW – a skyhawk, though I didn’t think the RAF/RN operated that type; aye, uncle Pablo, a suave geezer in his cravat, lover of fast cars.

Sport as fake war crossing over to real war and back – Croatia won the Yugoslav War (NATO helped) – and after they played Germany who were favourites in the world cup – and they roasted them, like taking the piss, humiliating them, shitting on them, winning 3-0 … victory does a lot for your self confidence, no? Same population size as us, no small nation “cringe”. Oh we could never beat the might of … beat them … we shat on them! Winning isn’t enough at times, humiliation must follow.

An indy Scotland will offer, obviously, more bareback shagging to get the numbers up AND a football team that might actually win something. Are you in?

That Dispatches programme just me mad.

Are there no strong women left anymore or did Dispatches not want them on their ridiculous programme.

Women need some decent role models.

A strong women who would say:

‘He stuck his dick down my throat so I just bit it’

If he was masturbating in the office say

‘Hang on pal let me go and get my magnify glass so that I can see what you’ve got in your hand.

Or just say ‘wanker’ you’re going to go blind.

He bloody raped me so I kicked him in the balls and went straight to the police to report him. I felt I needed to do this for my own self-respect and to protect women who might also become victims.

How innocent do you have to be to believe when a man says he’ll call
he will? You’ve got to be really desperate to phone his employer crying the next day because he didn’t phone as promised.

Are there really women who believe what men say in the heat of the moment. Oh baby baby I really love you YES YES YES baby I bloody love you YES!

He was called ‘shagger of the year’ that should give women a fairly good idea that he isn’t going to be boyfriend material and certainly not faithful.

What were these women thinking?

What was the 16 year old trying to say that Russell Brand is some sort of
Svengali who hypnotized her into being his baby doll?

What about the groupies who had sex with Brand in the toilet. Were they hypnotized too.

I found the whole programme very insulting to women and it had nothing to do with Russell Brand’s jokes.

If this is what women are like now it’s surely time for someone to say lets help our women out and give them some dating advice and stop letting them be victims.

If Russell Brand is charged how are they going to find an unbiased jury after this programme. Will it have to be a juryless trial?

Hi Ruby.

Did you see the info I posted for you yesterday?

This comment,

Hi Brian
Yes I did. Very interesting info.

I did reply to you I guess my post must have disappeared into cyberspace.

How are you keeping?

Very, very good cartoon. A safe consumption rooms for failed ‘first ministers’. So very much needed! I am sure the Tory racist sociopath home secretary, Suella Braverman, will give permission.

I was thinking about Rutherglen, and if I lived there, I wondered who I could vote for. I am desperate for Scotland to be free of England interfering in our country as a matter of some urgency, so you might imagine I would vote SNP. But, sadly, that party is now the home of slow and steady devolution, whilst constantly whining to London for more powers.

Then I thought, well, what about Labour? Oh boy, where do I start? If I thought for one second that British Labour, headquartered in London, was truly socialist, and truly stood up for ordinary people, I could be tempted, but they are more right wing than Thatcher.

Then again, with the remnants of their global socialist principles, and the fact they celebrate other countries independence, surely they would recognize the Scottish democratic right to leave the union by its own free choice. Sadly, whilst Labour espouse democratic freedom, it doesn’t seemingly apply to Scotland, just ‘other’ countries.

If concerned about the gender ideology madness, and how it damages LGB and women”s rights and freedoms, would I vote for Labour? Nope, yet again, they have shot themselves in the foot, with their utter devotion to the gender nutters (who are a tiny, very aggressive minority, btw).

What if I was concerned about the ULEZ stupidity in Glasgow and other Scottish cities? Nope, Labour are just as bad as the Loony greens and SNP on that one too. With zero regard for ordinary working folk, just trying to get to their jobs. Go tell a nurse coming off shift at 2am on a Saturday night, that she should just ‘catch the bus’. That’ll be the big feckin imaginary bus at 2am full of drunks, aye? Ditto for the clowns that talk about ‘wheeling, cycling and walking’ – talking about you Edinburgh clowncil.

So who to vote for? Alba are not standing. What about the hated Tories?? Well, they would have no time for the gender pish. No time for the ULEZ rubbish, outside of central London, since no other places actually need one. I mean, seriously Edinburgh clowncil? catch yourself on, as they in N.Ireland. But then again, what about independence? Well, given none of the other parties will help us get independence (eh Humza?), would it matter??

The libdems? what about them? Well the only time they won a very large support, was the time when they supported David Cameron’s Tories in Westminster, and abandoned every single major policy they had been elected on. Anything for a ministerial Limo and salary. So, no, the Libdems are not called the FIB dems for nothing. Happy to jump into bed with the tories at the drop of a hat.

The greens? A joke party, with joke student politics policies. They would happily ban everything and make cycling compulsory, regardless of age and health. They are loony zealots, obsessed with ‘smashing capitalism’, by taxing the poor (ULEZ, work place levy etc…).

So, in all likelihood, I’d have to vote Tory. They are the only political party, other than ALBA not obsessed with gender stupidity, ULEZ schemes, workplace parking levies (coming soon to Edinburgh! 650GBP per year), closing roads, and so on. But what about independence, well the Tory policy is no different to Labour, in any way, so not much difference there at all.

The SNP have had eight golden years to go for independence, but decided the gravy train was too good, so decided not to bother, so I am not sure they would do anything if they won, anyway. Every election they promised it after 2014, and every single time, once elected, they did sweet feck all. So nobody believes them anymore. The fact they simply will not work with other indy groups and parties to secure victory, tells us all we need to know. With the SNP, it is very much, party before country every freaking time.

So, who would I vote for in Rutherglen. I would vote ALBA, but they are not standing. The others do not deserve my vote, ever. So, I would spoil my paper, or possibly vote Tory, just to scare the sh*te out of Labour and the SNP.

As things stand, I think most folk will just not bother voting. Labour will likely win.

Are we all totally helpless now?”

2 Unlimited were factually incorrect when they sang – There’s No Limits.

It’s a fine cool damp morning, ideal for getting a lime mortar mix on the go. Noticeable lack of hot women offering to help with this task… or the jam making come to think of it… 🙁

How did this story stay secret for so long? Do the wealthy and powerful still enjoy the protection of the Police and Courts?

Ian B, I was at the rally searching for a kent face , couldn’t stay long granny duties. Sorry I missed your wee perplexed face.

Had a short conversation with Kenny McAskill.

Loved the Reely Jiggered band.

I’m not sure about metro/daily mail Dorothy.

Doesn’t really matter to me. Brand acted just like Saville- same MO .Employed by top brass in media they knew was dodgy and had things written in his contract, was a recovering drug addict and known sex pest and still they let him have access to young girls.

I’ve listened and seen him live on TV many times and he’s dodgy as fuck. He ain’t normal and a long way from a normal red blooded man who enjoys sex or flirting . He’s a creep IMHO.

sorry

The thing is that now it’s even more difficult to get a rape conviction, thanks in no small part to the Alphbetties, especially Ms H,and we all know who that piece of shit is. I feel for the genuine victims, who in the main do not report sexual assault. It’s a sham at best and diabolical ‘justice ‘:(

Who doesn’t have access to young girls?

If you want access to young girls & watch them changing while walking about in front of them flashing your dick all you need to do here in Scotland is get yourself a dress, pink would probably be best.

The young girls Brand has ‘access’ to had a choice. The young girls in the changing rooms do not. Their only choice is not to go swimming anymore.

You could also offer them a lift home.

I think the thing with Saville might have been a joke. But hey good to associate him with someone like Saville. The Herald did something similar with Alex Salmond and had photographs of him along side a whole load of rapists, serial killers & maybe even Saville.

Do women really take a job which requires them to walk naked in front of anyone if their boss tells them to or worse still to commit perjury?

What is the matter with men?

It started with Mark MacDonald, then Alex Salmond and now Russell Brand. You could be you next robbo. Any woman could go to the police claim you sexually assaulted/raped them and remain anonymous and your name would be plastered all over the media.

The new trend is skip the police and just go straight to the media.

Politically targeting those whom do not conform to elite monologues seems to be the new norm,
And yet we have the like of the freinds of the Green Party and Snp ,
the jimmy Savilles, members of monarchy and and all those perverted stories of politicians further afield and Councils whom ignore grooming gangs and religious atrosities and childrens homes, dodgy police sexual attacks people in high places are being protected.

It seems that mainly “men ” who are speaking up and want changes to politics and honesty, are actually the one being targeted by the msm and elite,

Sooner or later the men if they do not want a kangaroo court will have to demand their cases be heard by a open public court, with all members of a full jury in Scotland.

Nobody should be hung drawn and quartered by the MSM.
Nobody should be judged without a fair and publically open trial with a proper jury,

Other wise you’re inciting a mob or a riot.

If after all has been openly heard and judged accordingly, they are found innocent or guilty so be it,
Because one day it could be you accused,

Crying someone is guilty without a fair hearing,
Makes you a mob,
and a agent provocator of the new kind of unfair justice system government MSM elete want to emerge for the ordinary man,
for everyone but themselves,
That is extremism and akin to hittlers germany.

The Crown prosecuters are not legal under in Scotland in Scots law,

The crown rests in Westminster, that is how Westminster falsely claims it is Sovereign.

I reckon that’s the one.

The “featured” articles seem to come and go on the website, but if you click on “The Post” (second menu option on the left, below the masthead) you can scroll down the articles. When you get to the bottom, there are another 530 pages to choose from, so I reckon all articles are archived in there.

Re Russell Brand… timing is everything.

Does anyone seriously believe that if he has a cupboard full of bad behaviour, that 1/ his drug addiction and high profile attention seeking lifestyle would have enabled him to keep it a secret, and 2/ that the media and establishment wouldn’t have had that information early doors.

Which begs the question, why reveal it now. What has he been disclosing in recent times on his channel that makes now a good time to discredit him (whether justifiably or not).

For clarity I have no idea if what he is accused of has any truth to it or not, on a personal level I find him annoying and not my cup of tea.

If we are to learn from what was done to Alex, then I think our emphasis should be on a Fair Trial, proper disclosure of evidence, and a ban on trial by media and any attempt to prevent Brand from broadcasting his voice (subject to court rules re any case against him).

If we cannot do that, they have us by the short and curlies – as it enables them to protect their own abusers and stitch up those they find politically inconvenient.

Does anyone able to provide Lord Coopers quote,?

I don’t agree with the media allegations against Russell Brand.

Brand says he has “Eye witnesses that contradict the narrative.”

No charges brought. Trial by media.

The truth is Brand suggests that NATO poked the bear. He opposes the NATO war against Russia.

Like Donald Trump. Who spoke candidly about pulling America out of NATO. Look at him 79 charges.

It’s the truth. Everyone that opposes that narrative is being taken out.

He says our politicians are “wrapping themselves up in ‘progressive politics’ and then promoting a war.”

I believe this.

I support Russell Brand. Solidarity. STOP THE WAR.

Jimmy Saville was a paedophile. You cant compare the two.

Brand was a Rockstar. Handsome, Hedonistic. A comedian. Reality TV star. Hedonistic in his pursuits in his pursuits of women and encouraged to do so. Women threw themselves at brand watching that documentary last night.

In 2004 that was normal. That was enjoyable television. He was encouraged to have that public image and the women loved him.

The guy’s now over 20 years sober, talking about politics. He’s a good man.

He’s not been charged. This is a pathetic smear campaign.

Unfortunately there’s perjurers like Woman H in this world that are quite willing to destroy a good mans name for political motivation.

I think that we should change the law so that the man’s identity is anonymous in sexual allegations until charged and proven in a court of law. It’s not fair.

Mud sticks, well why can’t the mud stick for perjurers?

It certainly has for woman H anyway. She’s cheated justice, too many years have passed where she’s enjoyed freedom. But her conscience is guilty and she’ll be in jail every day of her life.

Dark but I’ve no time for these people.

MALE ME TOO BEGINS NOW.

It’s the same old pay book.

I read a book What about men? by Caitlin Moran. Recently came out. It’s about a women’s perspective about life as a man. She concludes its harder being a man now and that pissed off all the feminists who gave it a bad review.

She missed the point though. Even in her book, she was allowed to write that her hero Kevin Spacey was guilty,

“And that she believed in his guilt.”

Libellous crap. And then he was cleared of 9 charges.

This is the problem. Men are trialled as guilty despite being innocent. Names totally destroyed. It’s not fair.

I want to change the conversation. I hope that Russell Brand can start that change.

You don’t need to apologise for women Ruby.

You have described what most women are like. Strong virtuous, caring, kind and intelligent.

Women are incredible. And a good man wants to protect a loving women.

But there are a very small section, who have extreme abandonment issues that would latch onto a man to control him. Her heart is cold. Lots of undiagnosed autism and Aspergers in women.

I’ve met them.

@David Hannah says:17 September, 2023 at 11:31 am

Brand is successful at what he does and therefore rich. He has left a trail of potential trouble in his wake. It is to be expected that somebody would eventually climb on the bandwagon and seek to gouge a chunk of his dosh. It is to be expected that other sharks will swarm as soon as they scent blood.

Sometimes (probably most of the time) no “anti war” tinfoil headgear is needed to suss what’s going on.

Anyhoo, regardless of Brand’s political leanings, I believe in the presumption of his innocence of what has been alleged so far, until proven otherwise, so we should be able to agree on that.

Incidentally, if you are really innarested in the “taking out” of people voicing “stop The War” views, you should check out what’s going on on the other side. It’s enough to keep anybody awake at night.

Hi James Che.

As has been quoted,
The Lord President did give his opinion that “the principle of unlimited sovereignty of Parliament is a distinctively English principle and has no counterpart in Scottish constitutional law”. The case was thus constitutionally interesting[2] as the Lord Advocate “conceded this point by admitting that the Parliament of the United Kingdom ‘could not’ repeal or alter [certain] ‘fundamental and essential’ conditions” of the Act of Union.[3]

Just back from Dublin from the Let Women Speak event with Posie Parker. Aka Kellie Jay Keen.

I took my saltire and suffragette flags. Really interesting chat with some of the folk there. Especially with some mostly young working class men who had been Sinn Fein supporters. No longer though. They told me they have partners, mothers and daughters who they care about and are sick of Sinn fein backing this gender ideology. It felt like a mirror image of the NuSNP. One man said his wife wanted to come but she was too scared. I also spoke to a diplomat. In short there was all sections of society there.

Some women spoke movingly of the mother and baby homes. And the dead babies thrown in the cesspit in Tuam. What did the trans activists do? Blare horns, shout “nazi scum off our streets” and act like lunatics.

If the Garda hadn’t been there in numbers this mob would have gone for Posie though with some of the down to earth Dublin guys there they might have thought twice. They’d have made mincemeat of them. Some brave women spoke yesterday. They’re now worrying if they’ve got jobs to go back to. But guess what? They felt the fear and did it anyway.

Meantime in Scotland the Women Won’t Wheesht group are doing a Let Women Speak event in Portree next Sunday. Everyone welcome. Be there if you can. Stu is right. This crap needs sorted out because it is awful and shouldn’t be happening but it’s also a block to our independence.

Show us the money.

Does “faux opposition” differ much from opposition? In practical terms I mean.

How about factual content? Do facts become unfacts if the person who states the facts lacks ideological purity?

How do you answer the charge made by WGD posters that this site, and it’s BTL posters, and by extension you, are faux Indy supporters?

Complicated, isn’t it? Best to accept that facts are chiels that winna ding.

And tae Hell with the intentions, beliefs, opinions, or ideological purity of the writer.

Lots of innarestin stuff on Unherd. Sometimes even about Scotland, Indy, Yousaf, etc. As the man said, it’s a great gift tae see oorsels as ithers see us.

So obviously the gormless woman in blue is Deputy First Minister of Scotland Shona Robison.

So who is the SNP Fat’n Baldie bloke?

Brand was a bit of a scum bag with regard to andrew Sach’ daughter, or was it grand daughter.

Si for me the jury is out

Things are so bad for the Yousaf led SNP that the party has admitted paying folk ( a firm) to hand out leaflets and go door to door with them for the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.

Meanwhile BLiS bussed in folk from god knows where to do its leafleting in the area. However BLiS HQ in London will pay all expenses to helpers heading back to London or Liverpool.

Main, you are one queer (in the old sense, hopefully) “nationalist” if you are one; always seeing problems, the negative or bleating on about the EU, which is as a pimple to the pancreatic cancer of the UK …

ALBA and Alex Salmond can try this –

link to youtube.com

what a slogan.

– but too soon?

Sandy Brindley in her Diplock Sex Courts will not approve. Dana Scullivelli holds a lace handkerchief to her brow, swooning …

And this Russell Brand stuff, er … well, we don’t know do we; but being a coincidence theorist I note the BBC did a hatchet job on Andrew Tate the other night. You see it, the pattern – you piss off the powerful, you become a threat – boom ! – Assange, Salmnd, Sheridan and now Tate (because the young lads listen to him) and Brand who has maybe overstepped the mark on his youtube podcasts – maybe covid, or elite paedos, the arms industry, the eastern war.

– it’s always sex smears. When you read some books or have a long memory, all you can remember are the fingerprints – Harold Wilson was banging his secretary Marcia Falkender who spied for rusha, and the Jeremy Thorp scandal; on the flipside they promote “deviants” knowing they have total control over them due to blackmail.

Its gotten so bad for the SNP that the party is hiring workers on zero-hour contracts to drop leaflets in Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.

Changed days from having a army of 125.000 volunteers to having to pay for a service people gave freely.

Is Sturgeon really worth destroying the SNP and Independence?

Dan

Its was deliberate, even how she still in charge pulling all the strings.

@ Confused

“It’s always sex smears”…

What else could it be?

If it were anything else you would need some hard evidence.

How can you prove rape attempted rape or sexual abuse especially between a couple who have/had an on going sexual relationship?

What is rape, attempted rape & sexual abuse I’m a bit lost.

Anyway this is mainly a problem for men. No idea why there are so many men who don’t see that.

It’s going to get a lot worse for you guys when misogyny becomes a hate crime.
I doubt that will every see the light of day but you never know.

David Hannah is correct you need a male MeToo movement.
