The whole caboodle

While we get on with some tinkering behind the scenes in the absence of any Scottish political news – we have an exciting new comment system and the Contact form finally works again! – readers may wish to enjoy the full marathon three-and-a-quarter hours of last month’s fun indyref anniversary event at the Glasgow Science Centre.
If not, probably don’t click on those links.
Holiday Boy is… well, you can guess.
I still can’t understand the apparent optimism from people I would have thought would know better by now. Repeated assertions that the SNP is not a lost cause and that the solution is for all the branches of the independence movement, including the SNP, to come together in friendship and co-operation. How on earth do they imagine this could possibly happen now?
Yes especially in light of rejecting Ash Regan as leader & then again by voting against her plebiscite proposal .
I dunno how many times they need a smack in the face before it eventually sinks in. Its fast becoming another ‘A labour government will give us an indyref” no matter how many leaders said they absolutely would not.
The SNP is only interested in LGBTQWERTYS2++++ Any vote for them will be taken as such.
I’ve just quickly scanned through these videos. I’ll watch them at a later date.
What impressed me was the high quality of these videos.
I thought the whole thing was a brilliant idea.
In what alternative universe did the “Ayes” have it–let alone, “still” have it?
“Yes” got 44.7% in 2014. Indy lost–by a wide margin. In every recent poll, Scots oppose Indy.
And in the 2024 parliament election, Indy supporting parties (including nominal Indy parties like the SNP) got only 35% of the vote.
Give it a rest, eh? It’s a show title, not a UDI.
As you well know, titles are what most people remember.
And if the Salmond show headlines an untruth, misleads viewers, that’s significant.
The three ‘Ayes’ being interviewed by a fourth ‘Aye’ still have ‘it’ in my book.
Semantics, dear boy.
No, seriously, give it a rest. It means nothing. It’s making no factual claims about anything to anyone. Stop being so fucking tedious.
I really just want to comment in the all new shiny futuristic comment section. And to say that Kampbell Klansman is, by orders of magnitude, the most boring commenter on the planet.

LMAO!
Geoff – Soooperb. Best comment for ages.
Possibly, I like it so much because it will infuriate Sturgeon.
I was just getting used to the old one. Too many buttons on this one.
I guess the problem is that whilst support for Independence (the ayes) has remained (and still does) fairly constant in the country; as yet no vehicle for obtaining it has been universally recognised and adopted.
Plebiscite election ? I’m patiently awaiting Hatey to put himself forward as an Independent candidate standing on this ticket to give us a lead. Though he’s probably too concerned about the spelling and capitalisation of other folk’s screen names to be bothered with any active or constructive involvement.
Independent, non party candidates ?These would be excellent, however many potentially suitable activists are facing enough challenges just scraping by in daily life to be able to devote the time and effort required in canvassing, fund raising etc.
Constitutional Change ? It’s underway, however it’s likely, I fear, to be a lengthy process and fraught with legal arguments and delays.
And meantime time passes and we’re no further on in the land which gave the legal world ‘Jigsaw Identification” and a system which protects those whom many of us believe attempted to see an innocent man jailed … and succeeded in imprisoning Mr Murray.
