Wings Over Scotland

@Breeks
Either that or all the garlic speeakers ended up going with SNP2 cos they counldn’t find alapa on the list

The obvious question is, would there be a different outcome if there had been a few Alba MSPs elected.

The answer is of course, no.

Finnz…

Fast forward 5 years, I sincerely hope you’ll be proved right, but I have my doubts.

Who is there with leverage to steer Sturgeon off the Woke agenda and onto a constitutional one? The Greens?

Sturgeon will keep buying shoes, loving all things French and singing La Marseillaise while Scotland burns.
For her the mandate is her own excess.

FTSE …predictive text

There was a newspaper headline which told us that there were more complaints from civil-servants about bullying by Hoyrood Ministers than there were from Ministers from all of the other UK Gov bodies put together, including Westminster.

If you think about that for a while, it explains everything.

” As I’m no serious , democratic politician with an ounce of integrity I refuse to accept our mandate “

@Finnz 7.52am

The obvious answer is that it depends on the arithmetic. If the SNP had to rely on Alba rather than the Greens for a majority does anyone really think we’d be worse off than we are now?

As Kirk Torrance’s recent tweet shows it could all have been very different, but once again the Scots people have conspired to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We can moan about the MSM, entryism and careerism in our political parties (or vote rigging &/or the intervention of the UK intelligence services if you’re of a conspiratorial frame of mind) all we like, but in the end the result is adequately explained by a general lack of political courage.

Perhaps it’s true that things will have to get worse before the Scots people finally bestir themselves to action? If so I hope there is a party or movement left to deliver independence.

What tune is he whistling for she/her

” Calling the SNP, calling the SNP… what in God’s name has gotten in to you? ”

Some ” Imp/s of the perverse ” it appears , which we can pretty confidently assume will eventually lead to the fall of the House of Murrell.

Spot-on comment/s from you as ever

“ , and I don’t understand the mechanism of how such talentless, mediocre non-entities are being promoted, enjoying advancement and cropping up in powerful stations and positions stratospherically above their competence level….”

Joanna Cherry out, Anne McLauchlin in… WTF?

There is subversion going on here, sedition at work, right before our eyes, and it’s been going on since 2015, perhaps longer.

To quote the late, great Gil Scott-Heron, “mandate, my ass!”

Ruby

Are you the same Ruby who, only a few weeks ago was telling everyone to vote SNP 1 and 2?

This time, I didn’t have that Sept 19th feeling. Instead, anger at a contrived result from the SNP and belief, to paraphrase a certain liar, “we may have lost a battle but not our bottle.”

Hopefully May 6th shall be relegated to history as simply the first skirmish for people who’ve had enough.

I read an interesting piece about potential court cases.

If the UK government were to challenge, in the courts, Holyrood’s right to hold a referendum (even though they have a “slam dunk” case) then that could look very authoritarian and unattractive. However, if a private citizen in Scotland were to challenge Holyrood’s right to hold a referendum (a Gina Miller type character) then the whole thing could be brought to halt –

Frankly I hope my scroll wheel lasts the day!

The Greens are polling 26% in Germany. They are now the party with the largest popular support.

A wealthy clown there who looks down on Scots and will do anything to stop an indyref……and I think the other one’s Boris Johnson.

This would seem to summarise the position succinctly:

“If you believe that the Sturgeon project was a genuine belief that a gradualist and woke agenda would get Scottish Independence back on track after the 2014 refurendum, then the Sturgeon Project has totally failed on those terms.

If you believe that the Sturgeon project was a scheme to neutralise any threat from Scottish Independence to Unionism, he United Kingdom and the vast disparity of wealth in the UK and internationally, then it has spectacularly succeeded.

Firstly, it seems to me that anybody who believes the Sturgeon project was ever the former is a fool. It is at best an insurance policy, toensure nothing radical would happen to discomfit the rich and end the Union. Sturgeon’s job is to mitigate any SNP victory.”

Doubt very much Bozo could even spell integrity. If he asks Sturgeon he will at least learn he’s not alone.

In other news, i see the BBC in Scotland quickly changed their Saturday deliberately misleading headline of DEVOLUTION SUMMIT at some point on Sunday to COVID RECOVERY SUMMIT. The wording of the accompanying story remained the same though, to discuss how “Team UK” get through and out of Covid blah blah blah.

Scotgov shouldn’t even entertain it on the basis alone that they are calling it “Team UK” without any consultation. It’s a principle thing. But Sturgeon will not pass up the opportunity to get in front of some publicity cameras etc. They are dribbling rings around her and she can’t see it because her heads up her own arse.

Now that the dust has settled it is time to take stock.
What have we got? Another minority Government who, with the help of the loons in the Green Party, will further promote division and hatred in Scotland and squander millions of pounds in the process. The further dumbing down of education in Scotland?
A referendum will maybe take place, some time, when it suits Mrs Murrell. An open ended timescale is in place.
I do not know what Alex Salmond has to take down the Murrells but he must now give serious thought to bringing this in to the public domain. If he does this now he cannot be accused of electioneering as voting has now taken place. If he is waiting for Court cases to take place it might be too late.
All in all we are in a very depressing place.
On a separate issue-what do the SNP MP’s in Westminster actually do? Other than embarrass themselves every time one of them gets on their feet to speak and of course, run up expenses!

That’s because they don’t have Patrick Harvie.

It’s safe to say independence has now been kicked into the long grass for the foreseeable future, in my opinion as long as Alex Salmond remains a threat then Westminster will accept The SNP being in power, they know Sturgeon can’t move on Indy and it’s looking more likely that there are no SNP MSPs with the cojones to upset the apple cart.
However for the union to remain safe then the state with the help of the media and SNP hierarchy have to ensure the people believe Indy is on the horizon otherwise we might rebel and put a genuine indy party in power, then they really are in trouble.

So this is just a thought but maybe those of us who are serious about indy and who know we won’t see it under Sturgeon or her sidekick when she finally steps down need to change our thinking on tactical voting, I honestly don’t think Alba is going to make a breakthrough anytime soon, there is too much against them, so maybe the only thing that is going to wake the sheeple up is seeing a rise in support for the Tories, we know they won’t get into power but maybe swelling their numbers in Holyrood will be the thing to actually get them to open their bloody eyes.

I mean what have we got to lose, they already control us and without doubt while we’re dithering Westminster is putting things in place to nail Scotland down tight.
Of course it could already be too late for any action to make a difference, we have 5 yrs before the next election, god knows what position Scotland will be in by then, although we could make a start with the council elections next year.
To be honest I’ve thought for a few years now that maybe Scotland needs another spell of Tory rule to remind us just what we did gain under the same man who till this day remains the only threat to the union.

When they lose all the benefits they enjoy now, free bus passes, free prescriptions etc maybe they’ll start to use their heads.

I was talking to a senior nationalist yesterday and they said ” if she does not call indyref this year” there will be a riot and she will be toast.

suppose it will depend on how much she believes her own propaganda.

Big Jock says.
Don’t forget. If indy ref 2 hasn’t happened going into the GE 2024. Then the SNP will get slaughtered, even worse than 2017. Then by 2026 people will be looking for a new indy party.

I’d love to think that would be the case but after last weeks election I wouldn’t bank on it,
We proved we’re not as politically savvy as we believe we are.

Btw, I am not advocating any kind of violence in my last comment.but just remember what they did to the miners, thatcher was not adverse to using the police to put them down.
If you are attacked the law allows you to defend yourself, and that includes police brutality masked as civil defence

There is some value in getting the 7 years to stick – at least in the minds of the populace, particularly south of the border. That’s just over one parliamentary term so it’s reasonably short. At least it makes a reasonable attempt at killing off the 50+ years that’s been talked about before.

The fly in the ointment is that it welds the idea of independence and referendum together so plebiscite elections are off the cards. I’m sure that suits the SNP.

Can’t remember where the Good Friday Agreement number got raised first but it’s definitely not an original thought by Blackford.

He should come here more often so some more handy tips on how to do his job.

There is a very simple and easy way to take back our country, just tell Johnstone, and Sturgeon to feck off, nobody can govern without the will of the people being behind them.

Or we could actually take to the streets in numbers like we see in Catalonia, that would get the job done too, however we have proved we’re not like the Catalonians or the Irish for that matter, it would appear that our speciality lies in talking the talk. try and get most of them to actually get off their backsides and then it’s a different story.

Another con trick from Sturgeon the liar. You’d think as a former lawyer (albeit incompetent and disgraced) she’d have read the Scotland act. As per section 29 Boris doesn’t have to do anything, any referendum she tries to run is automatically illegal. More tactical genius from sturgeon. Instead of making the case for independence she wants to pick a fight that won’t even happen.

When we get great leader that the people can rally behind, and when 70% of the votes are for independence parties, and when 100,000 take to the streets in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and big numbers in all the cities including even London ex-Pats, then we’ll get independence in weeks.
The people will decide, the current generation of politicians are hopelessy incompetent and way too comfortable with the status quo, change will not come through them.

You don’t want promotion with a relegation-quality manager.
First get rid of Sturgeon’s regime, that would be a good step.
It would have been better to not have started from here -where she claims she got a mandate.
AS was wrong, he thought by saying vote SNP on the main seats, he would be cut some slack on publicity. He obviously did not know his enemy and time was not on his side before 6th May. Maybe he thought the gamble was worth it, but he must therefore has seen this scenario was possible in whcih case what is his next step. I would suggest clearing his name by dragging some malicious people through the courts is an option.

I got off my backside decades ago, I realised I was living amongst a crowd of sheep that just kept on voting for the monkey wearing the labour rosette, it would have been more useful having the rosette stuck down its lying throat.
At least the cost of the rosette could have then been justified

You would think there was a msjority, ( I think he/she means majority ) in favour of scottish independence the way some people go on, It is not a fact
Simple arithmetic certainly not one of his/her few talents it seems.

The cartoon is a bit stupid because she should be in the clown outfit too at a minimum, all things considered. Plus, the reality is that if he can easily refuse something he doesn’t want anyway, why would he accept it? He’d be a clown to do otherwise. Remember these are the ruthless power games of politics on this globe and how it works. NS has clearly demonstrated she’s of the same ilk and so are the majority of power holders in the party and most parties or anything with power, really.

Ruthless and ambitious people get to the top and…behave like ruthless and ambitious people.

Does anyone see the possibility of the Tories now trying to offer FFA. But not full control over oil revenues.

The way I see it. The Tories will want to buy as much time before Scotland leaves. If they think that will give them another 10 years they might try it. Sturgeon would be delighted , as it’s all she probably wants anyway. She is terrified of fighting a referendum.

Such useful Scotch idiots, tee hee, exclaimed Boris, makes you proud to be English.
Up your kilts!

I don’t know why people are bothering to worry about or argue if Westminster would take the oil from Scotland. The oil and gas for Scotland won’t do any good as NS has made it very clear she’s going to tie a knot in it soon one way or another. So it is worth zero or could even be a burden in that frame of mind. A resources you can’t use or is deeply unprofitable isn’t much good to anyone. May as well let Westminster have it then and put up some solar panels. Same with all the coal that’s now basically worthless despite generations of energy supply in there.

Watching Scottish politics is like watching someone strong do a judeo move on themselves over and over again until they are too dizzy and bruised to even stand up.

@Stephen 9:28 am
The Greens are polling 26% in Germany. They are now the party with the largest popular support.

What is their position on Gender ID?

‘When not If’ has been the situation re Indy since 2007 – not just because St Nic announced it yesterday and her faithful media disciples joined in to shout it from the rooftops.

I reckon the next move from the dark forces at WM will be to set out to destroy NS and The SNP completely by leaking all the dirt on her which they have been saving up.

Am I the only one puzzled by the saturation coverage of Indy by WM and their metropolitan media slaves?

Kapelmeister @ 9.49

How do you go from 26% to less than 2% unless there has been substantial electoral fraud? It can’t be just explained away by Alba not appearing in the tv debates.

The media has done a hatchet job on AS.
The Kirsty Wark retrialby TV; every interview beginning with the dredging up of the Court case and accusations;
the FM herself saying that even though he is not guilty of any criminal actions ‘I KNOW’ he behaved in this way – she was reprimanded by the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates who asked all those involved in debates to think about the words they were using as they were openly undermining the veracity of Jury trials and the Scottish Court System by their words;
The 8 Hour session Nicola had to ‘endure’ to make sure her lies were effective – anyone telling the truth would have not needed so much questioning nor would they have taken so long to convince those investigating – don’t forget, apparently SNP membership surged after that 8 hour session;
The ‘Me Too’ movement;
‘Sexual accusations’ is the quickest, easiest and oldest method of bringing down a powerful man and thankfully, unlike Karl Sargeant, we still have Alex to ‘fight again’.

Most of this has happened in the last year, whilst we were all on lockdown and couldn’t discuss it with friends and colleagues and consider different points of view.

Aye, the media did a hatchet job on him, but so did the SNP, Nicola, the newspapers and “a’ body else who could haud up a ploo’ at the muckin o Geordie’s byre”.

All credit to Alex Salmond, one of the finest politicians this country has ever produced – it took guts to stand again, but he believes in Independence for Scotland and sees himself as a small cog in a vital fight.

Either ‘some’ working for others or others are working them.

They, whoever they are, were out to get Salmond and as we already know “the best of conscientious can be bought and sold” . Its how Scotland’s future ended up in England’s hands. .

There are few politicians it seems , men or women, who are squeaky clean , but who hypocritically, no doubt, will be shouting foul at Salmond, Their ‘inappropriateness’ locked away, forgotten they hope, unlikely ever to see the light of day, far less end them in court,
Politics is a ruthless game though. Nobody’s back safe it seems.

Meant Johnstone.

Hopefully a lot of the YES movement will have now cottoned on to the fact that miracles don’t exist.

Every election, large or small, seems to be proceeded with columns and columns of folk rejoicing at how they’re going to use their power to change this, throw out that, negotiate the best deal, take revenge. They hadn’t even got the eggs, let alone count them.

Are we any worse off than before, probably not in terms of seats, same government, policies and quality of Opposition.

Are we better off? I think we are.

We now have a brand new pro Indy party which despite all attempts to “Strangle the bastard” in the cot, survived the onslaught. It now has the chance to develop and grow over the next few years in local elections and by being street-wise in getting the ALBA message out.

Wasted votes, scream it from the rooftops, guerrilla non-violent activities, stop the traffic..! 🙂

Nicla’s corrupt cabal, because of ALBA, had to pull out all the stops including making very public promises to the Scots about preparing for and going for an Indy referendum in this parliament. The newspapers, BBC, SNP bloggers, the great majority of the great unwashed etc. have all taken her word for it. Even Gove got very sweaty underpants when Marr pushed it. 🙂
She’s talked herself into a corner and unwittingly committed herself to it by 2023/2024. It’s not something that the ever improving Covid situation can avoid.

Don’t believe it, have a look at WGD, the loyal supporters have gotten it tattooed onto their foreheads, so if she doesn’t deliver…! 😉 😉

As for the Gender woowoo, that’s coming into reality in the very near future, they can’t hide it forever; it has to go through Parliament with open discussion and has real repercussions in everyday life. It’s lightbulb on time.

What about the genuine judicial Evens Inquiry and how about the missing 600,000 quid?

Plenty of “events” to rattle the SNP and get the voice of ALBA a coming don’t you think?

Sturgeon is out to sabotage the Indy cause. There is so much dirt on them now that with genderwoo policies, HCB, the skeletons in the cupboard of the SNP SG and the financial misdealing’s, that will be enough to sink the Indy ship if she is at the helm!

What amazes me is that the only people who think Clown Sturgeon is going to push for Independence are the media and the Unionists. They think she is obsessed with Independence. It is very odd, they are in away the only ones putting visible pressure on her every time she is on tv especially now the covid crisis is on hold. Quite bizarre like parallel universes.

Gordon Brown tells Scotland and the PM?

A failed Chancellor and PM, Brown was in charge
of monitoring the banks when they crashed the economy with Casino banking.
He stood at Indy ref 1 and scaremongered our pensioners that an independent
Scotland wouldn’t have pensions, an NHS or Blood Transfusions.

Why would Scots believe this failure and compulsive liar with a reputation for bullying?

The man who sold our gold before the price doubled, the man who stopped final salary pensions,
the idiot who set up the absurd PPI deals.

Henry McLeish telling Scotland it’s good in the Union?
Has he forgot he was allowed to resign as First Minister to prevent a fraud investigation
for pocketing money renting out a constituency office?

I believe he gets a pension from us in excess of £1,000 per week for life.
I’d rather spend £2K per week keeping him imprisoned for embezzlement.

The crooks presented by U.K. media as Scottish leading lights.

Say what you like about Henry McLeish but at least he resigned when he broke the ministerial code…

We are basically being conditioned to regard the politicians and media figures who get away with breaking the law and twisting the rules as aspirational figures.

If we are vulnerable to the law, it’s our own fault for being little people.

Ruby@8.48 why do you think Stephen@8.02 would be thinking about Sturgeon French kissing when he said that Sturgeon loves all things French.

Re 7 years between referenda in NI and SNP

Joanna Cherry raised this point several months back in Westminster. No doubt that great team player Blackford stole the line.

When we find commentators for the union on a Scottish blog site still commenting like crazy after the election is over,
what questions can be asked ?
1) what worries them.
2) why are they still worried?
3) why do they subconsciously suspect the game is not over?
4) are they commenting in the same way or manner To Australia German or french blog sites?
5) if none of the above is true to them, then are they here because they are racist towards Scottish people rather than an political election that has passed?
6) is showing and displaying racism and browbeating a select group of people still a racist Crime?
It stirred great curiosity in me as to why they are still here,
Having rechecked their comments,reactions, and responses to others, ignoring the abuse and looking through the bluster to their narrative.
We see Fear. Fear that the issue of a Scotland that may still yet gain independence.
We see the underlying Fear from them, that the people of Scotland have not given up or went back in their box.
We see by their responses, Fear being displayed in anger, like an animal trapped and cornered.
We see instant reactionary Fear being displayed by them also when the people of Scotland discuss alternative methods of insuring Scottish independence.
We would if we are correct in analysis see reactionary fear and retaliation to others from them, as we would see from any other cornered animal, this is normal behaviour when trapped.
We see them display Fear at the thought of letting the Scottish people get on with their lives unsupervised by themselves.
We see innate Fear being displayed from them, that the Scottish people might decide a different path if not mentally continually coralled and taught to to think differently.
After studying the anger continued in their comments after the election has passed, after analysis of the chosen language they used we can make a few quite accurate assumptions.
1) mentally they can not walk away or find it within their power to let situation go and move forward.
2) they Fear that the situation may unravel before their eyes if not continually controlled.
3) to subordinate their victim, adds to a feeling of self importance.
4) their feeling of inferiority complex causes them to resort to using a debase form of language,
5) their motives and therefore their behaviour displays an addiction they cannot control.
6) Fear of a future that they may not be able to control is by far the driving factor, and an inferiority complex of being left alone to fend for themselves.

@David Caledonia – why not take over one of the islands? That way you wouldn’t have to avoid an existing population containing ‘No’ voters. Just a thought. Crowdfund it. Many a ‘Yoon’ would contribute to it!

I see the “Seven years is a political generation” line being raised again on here.

The first person to come up with that argument was Alex Salmond.

It is one line the SNP should be using regularly in Westminster. Another, even-better line is the Thatcher one about electing a majority of pro-Independence MPs to Westminster would be grounds for Independence. That one should be uttered at them daily – it would be a brave Tory who said the Blessed Margaret was wrong on anything.

A wee question, now that “Marmalade” is back among the SNP’s movers and shakers, they not only have the McCeausescus, they also have the McMarcoses – can we decide which pair is which?

“No serious democratic politician with an ounce of integrity could refuse to accept our mandate”.

What effing mandate is that?

I can recall, back in January or whenever, all the pro-Indy calls for the election just past to be made a plebiscite on Independence. Nikla, patron saint of convenient forgetfulness, could have done just that.

She could have had that mandate if she had the balls to nail her colours to the mast and go for it.

But she bottled it. In their heart of hearts, Scots voters know she bottled it. Bojo knows better than he knows the pattern on his own wallpaper that she bottled it.

I wonder just what Bojo and Saint Nikla talk about when the mikes are off and their PA’s are out of earshot. I bet we will have to wait a generation, and by that I mean the universally accepted timespan of 30 years, to find out.

I’m betting they agree to keep the Punch & Judy show going for another 5 years as that plays to their individual constituencies. BoJo has to be seen to be mastering the rebellious Scots to sustain his votes. St Nikla has to be seen to be constantly thwarted by forces beyond her control in order to sustain hers.

@ David Caledonia 10 May, 2021 at 10:30 am
“There is a very simple and easy way to take back our country, just tell Johnstone, and Sturgeon to feck off, nobody can govern without the will of the people being behind them.
Just imagine for one minute, 100,000 independence supporters move to the highlands and set up their own rules and regulations about how they want to live in scotland.
They obey the law if its serving the majority and not the minority of pervs and fancy boys as it does now, they do not pay income tax to keep the corruption and its benefactors fed and watered.
They all club together in an equal union, build up a fund that takes care of everything like the infastructure of their little piece of scotland.
Anyone that says this cannot be done, it has been done in america for decades and the government leaves them alone to get on with it, don’t forget these communities are armed to the teeth and will fight to the death if any government in america bothers them with their army.
So there you have it, a solution to a problem that is easily fixed, just tell them to feck off, this is our scotland and if you want to stop us you will have to fecking kill us, cause you ain’t telling me how to live my life anymore, so fuck off ?”

So how many days is that you have went without your medication now then ? No doubt though you will want Scot Gov to to provide you free prescription , Free NHS and Dole money though eh ? Which Blog have you been reading is it that planted this sort of complete dross into you Head ?

The only thing we have left is our voice and presence. When this covid thing has passed we need to assemble in our thousands and March in support of Alba promoting it as the true party of independence while also highlighting the SNP’s anti independence stance.

Anybody who has been reading this site for anytime at all knows

Unfortunately, over three hundred years Scotland’s politicians have allowed de facto domination and oppressive rule over Scotland by England under the guise of ‘Britain’.

Sturgeon and co. are continuing this subordinate stupidity deliberately with the Section 30 shite. We can dissolve the Union now , in Westminster with the existing majority of Scottish seats. But craven and certainly compromised Nikla will never do it.

So we will be humiliated ad nauseum with bleating Blackford, blagger Black et al whining about the ‘democratic rights’ of Scotland’s people whilst being rogered by the Scotland Act being used all the way ‘up’ to the English Supreme Court as a judicial gauntlet for the final diminution and final extinction of our Sovereignty. This is the opportunity that the English elite have longed for three hundred years: the judicial execution of Scottish identity,

As Alf Baird says earlier on this thread, until Scotland has leaders who ASSERT our SOVEREIGN RIGHT to call out our own destiny and journey back into the World, we are destined to be bound like slaves to Mother England’s ongoing depredations.

And if our Sovereignty is allowed to become a football for the English and their corrupt judicial system to kick out of the park, then we should just turn the lights out as we have failed as a nation.

Just wondering, could women self ID-ing as men claim equal pay with men in situations where women get paid less than men for doing the same jobs?

Or to put it another way, if men self-ID as women would their pay be downgraded to womens pay in jobs where women get paid less than men for doing the same work?

“Bjsalba@11.52
What is the German Green Party position on Gender ID?
/
I don’t know.
It would be interesting to find out and also to establish whether there is any linkage across boundaries.
It could be that Patrick Harvie and his band are just an aberration!”
—————————

The German Green Party (GGP) is nowhere near as mad as their counterpart in Scotland and would certainly not entertain being catagorised as gender Woowoo nutters. Harvie would just be a teaboy. 🙂

Yes they are responsive to the situation or wishes of minorities such as refugees, immigration, gay or trans people.

Trans issues are openly discussed and available to read on their website, e.g.
link to gruene.de

But one thing I can assure you of, WOMEN – adult human females, have a very big say in what happens in the GGP. They always have a woman/man double as the leadership and wo betide any man that thinks he can impose anything onto women or impinge on their rights.

The Chancellor candidate for the GGP is a woman, Annalene Baerbock. She is a profi level trampolinist, mother of two, is a lawyer and did her Masters at the LSE. She’s gorgeous (shivers..) and is with 31% way ahead of any of the other candidates, 17% Scholz (SPD) or the CDU guy Laschet 9%.

Being totally honest – even I was somewhat carried away by the ‘hype’. Social media can be something of a goldfish bowl and you often get the message you want to hear or believe. The many photos of ALBA activists all over Scotland. The buoyant mood from the pro-ALBA bloggers. I was convinced that ALBA would get at least three or four wins. Alas, the numbers speak for themselves. The complete MSM blackout and the constant hostility directed at AS was – in the end – fatal. I’m not really sure how that can be undone. It’s like asking the UK media to have another think about Jeremy Corbyn. It just isn’t going to happen. Maybe I’m being too negative. But ultimately it’s the hierarchy of the SNP that will be undone by their own hubris. And when the majority of people who voted for them – in most cases twice – realise they are being conned. There will be No Infyref2 in this parliament.

I’d have a little more respect for the Green politicians if they led by example and rocked up to Holyrood under their own power whilst adorned in homemade clothing manufactured from locally sourced materials.
I mean, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

Sups another mouthful of birch sap I tapped from a nearby tree to re-hydrate, after finishing planting 3 dozen tattie plants, a hunner onions, 3 pumpkin and 6 kale plants…

I didn’t think anyone read the pish I post oh well every days a School Day eh

@lochside

Scotland does not have a genuone parliament, crown or leaders. The powers are held by th UK parliament and crown. The english and scots parliaments were dissolved and the crown given to the United Kingdom.

There is no body in scotland who can legally dissolve the union.

Get the Lord Advocate to set that case out and Nicola Sturgeon can publish it. That’s what we pay them to do. If they can get that done by Friday, it will save us all a lot of time….Agreed?

I really don’t think that saving the planet is their number one priority any longer – unless it’s by making sure the human race is extinct because everyone has transitioned and nobody is left to carry on the species.

“What is the German Green Party position on Gender ID?

The Deutsche Greens believe all the same nutty, self-harming stuff the North British ones do: gender self-ID for anyone over the age of 13, tedious gender quota nonsense in place of getting shit done, cult-like devotion to unlimited migration, aggressive de-industrialisation and prepping the locals for a permanent reduction in their living standards disguised as progress.

Given that the future belongs to people who can be bothered to show up, it’s all just pointless displacement activity to kill time between now and Germany demographically dissolving into whatever societies inherit its territory, who will likely be a lot more realistic in their views (Erdogan would draw bigger crowds in much of Germany than Merkel does, and I don’t think he’s a big fan of wokeness).”

Red is another of the nodding donkeys with big mouths, no brains and thinks we don’t notice it. 🙂

The GGP is an integrated part of German society, industry and politics.

The German state of Baden-Würtemberg is the powerhouse of Germany with a huge car sector, the home of inventors, the Mittelstand (SMEs) was born here and has Germanys best cuisine. Even the little plastic dubel things that you stick in the holes to hold up your picture of the Queen are made there Red… you silly little boy. 🙂

The GGP with Winfried Kretschmann has been the Government there for the last 8 years and was just reelected for another 4 years a few weeks ago with top results.

They als run various cities, have mayors and have a very real chance of being the next Government of Germany in September.

And while we’re here, despite Covid, the industrial sector is just starting to move along just nicely, thank you Red.

Bündnis90/Die Grünen the German Green party supports this.
European Union
Alliance 90/The Greens supports the eventual federalization of the European Union into a Federal European Republic (Föderale Europäische Republik), i.e. a single federal European sovereign state.
Something considerably more whacky than even this.

Isn’t Now Scotland a bit like Business For Scotland and just another SNP fan club?

@Wee Chid (3.34) –

No, I can assure you, it isn’t.

I know some of the organisers and they’re as pissed off about what’s happening as anyone else.

😉

Robbo – I thought PJ Harvie’s suits were all made from recycled SNP peach ballots. Gets a new one every 5 years.

Graf – they’ve already proposed self-ID:

Self-determination for ages 14 and above?
It is this process that the self-determination law hopes to simplify, by replacing the 40-year-old Transsexual Law. Two separate bills, proposed by opposition parties the Greens and the pro-business FDP in 2020, call for a system that would allow self-determination for those aged 14 and above.

The proposed change to the law would allow individuals to change their legal gender. This does not affect the process to receive hormone treatment or surgery, which is carried out separately in consultation with a medical doctor.

Can I point out the people of Scotland were declared Sovereign 701 years ago.
That doesn’t get changed by any kind of document produced in Westminster and
signed off by English politicians.

It also doesn’t matter unless the Scots, or our supposed leaders, are willing and able to make it matter.

The guys who signed the Declaration of Arbroath are all deid. We can self-ID as sovereign all we like, but it’s action that changes history.

Aye the National does anyone really buy it ? I used to subscribe to the online edition but gave up because it became a Unionist magnet with no moderation whatsoever the punters posting the same pish about every article you could see some division but every single article it was obvious that Unionists had set up camp and were being allowed free reign , I was banned because I kept saying it must be a commercial decision to increase the site traffic ,haven’t bought it since,

As for Steven Paton he used to do some clips about independence although he always struck me as being a bit young and probably a budding actor was his thing but Independence gave him a Audience so I guess he has to turn a coin ,it’s probably the same with the national hatchet job he’s just needing some attention and feels safe now the results are in ,it’s amazing what people will do for money eh principles well he probably has lots and all interchangeable just like the Weather

Is it not time to place the Act of Union itself under the microscope, in terms of potential breaches (Brexit for starters). Could that even be done, through national and international court systems? Are there such avenues even available?

I would really like to know.

BTW, talking of good investigative journalism if anyone hasn’t seen the new Netflix documentary ‘Sons of Sam’ i’d also recommend that to fill some free time. Four-part documentary, each part lasting about an hour.
