Wings Over Scotland

The ‘house Jock’, brilliant.

There is no such thing as a Scottish Tory!
We do have too many Westminster Tories
and the come with Red, Yellow and Blue rosettes.

Good to have you back Chris and with a belter too.

Dejocko!

Uncle Tam, the Brit Nat Bam.

Very good Chris.

Us Field Scots are just waiting for the opportunity to escape, and don’t have long to wait now.

Brilliant Chris. Correct on so many levels.

Yes Chris, even a collaborating “house boy”has limits on what is acceptable.

Tarantino should have based Django in Scotland,which for centuries has been it’s natural home. Maybe one day we will become unchained ourselves.

What’s the bet that some Red,yellow or blue Tory will call out Chris for racism without the slightest hint of self awareness?

DJANGO.

This one’s over my head having not seen whatever film it references. But I did see Malcolm X speech so get the point.

Re Burns Night from Belfast – how ridiculously cringy of the BBC. They could have broadcast the SiU Burns Supper from Glasgow and saved the cost of travel.

Chris

Great work as always….but still painful due to its accuracy representing the situation in Scotland.

Great Chris
We’re all Jock (Uncle Tam)sons Bairns aye right.

Yesterday’s headlines vilifying alleged indiscretions with various members of the opposite sex! Shock horror.

Same Papers / TV channels acclaiming, glorifying a man who allegedly bedded almost as many women as he wrote songs, whilst siring seven children.
As our best loved national hero.
Wonder what Rabbie would have made of these so called hypocritical scribblers.
A man’s a man for awe that!!!

What we need, to get the extra push, is for some English MPs to say loudly.

After Brexit Westminster will focus on termination Scotland completely, a new constitution by STatutory instrument, unitary state, no future right to break up UK, all territorial waters to be the responsibility of Westminster completely, NHS to be controlled by a UK medical body

The list goes on and I am sure you get the drift

Superb. Chris Cairns, master of cartoon imagery.

Picture worth a thousand words? Nah, this one is an epic novel on the scale of Gone with the Wind!

Yes, some Tories in Scotland are just wannabe English loyal to Greater England.

There is a different variety, like a certain Perthshire MP, who is English, lives in England and has absolutely nothing Scottish about him.

“Even if Article 50 was revoked in such a verifiable manner that it would not be invoked again the EMA and the other standards offices will not be coming back. They will stand as Brexit casualties whatever happens.”

Yes I am 100% in agreement with you @Muscleguy says at 10:11 am

What pisses me off though is they could have relocated to Scotland rather than Continental Europe.

Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Inverness or Glasgow would have taken the EMA (or any other agencies like the European Banking Authority).

London’s loss could have been Scotland’s gain.

Unfortunately due to the NO Vote in 2014 they are off to Amsterdam and Paris.

Great Chris just Great .

More appropriate for the previous thread. Artticle in The National “Nicola Sturgeon doubles down on independence timetable plan” – they deleted comments and closed the article to comments, just as I was checking it out again. Better safe than sorry!

Brilliant cartoon.

On the subject of the queen intervening in the credit fiasco, is that the same woman who gave the final nod to the bombing of innocent civilians in the Middle East!!

Ha ha, very good Chris, Uncle Tom’s are very much alive and kicking in the Scottish Tory branch office.

Meanwhile in a matter not a hundred miles away from your excellent cartoon. Anas Sarwar is receiving right wing threats again.

Mr Sarwar revealed tha he began receiving a barrage of abuse, after a Labour colleague told him that Scotland wasn’t ready to be led by a brown Muslim Paki.

If everybody in Scotland was black we’d likely have better human rights protection because of race relations but because we’re mostly white Scots apparently don’t even qualify as a race but because it’s just white people treating other white people badly it’s OK

I thought equality was for black white yellow brown or whatever colour you might be but it appears Scots are not even worthy of a description as anything at all

300 years of asking permission isn’t exactly confidence inducing and we’ll never have enough salve to clear up the marks on our brains or cream to rub on our necks stiff from looking downwards and that’s bred hatred in us and contempt from them

I’d like that to change….. a lot

It is not actually humorous being a great tragedy but the BBC Text news, “Procurators Fiscal to investigate patient’s death after being infected by pigeon droppings. In the first place the patient did not die from infected pigeon droppings but from whatever it was the patient was hospitalised for in the first place. Apparently the report on the patient’s death stated that the death was from other causes and the infection was a contributory factor.

I had the strange mental vision of a court case with a Cushie Doo wearing handcuffs sitting perched upon the dock rails.

Are the yoons really so desperate they are attempting to blame the Hospital Board and, by association, the SG for pigeons shitting on rooftop?

All such actions, and their reporting by the SMSM, will only succeed in further hurting the already badly affected and grieving family of the dead person.

For all I know by the way she was given the anti-biotic in recovery, we weren’t allowed in there, she wasn’t conscious, and I never thought to ask!

It will always remain a fact that a Tory Government will come after a Labour Government. It is therefore a fact that no matter how much Labour claim they can do as a party it can be undone overnight. This is the reality of Westminster and the politics of England (the biggest voting block in the UK)

Re Southern General, having spent six weeks in residence , it was called the Southern General when i went in, and the qe2 when i came out bud thankfully betty didnt come and visit me, but I know the staff canteens were closed for the day and the Nurses et al had to eat sandwiches during their long shifts, however i digress, when I was there. I checked out most facilities apart from the Morgue and was pretty close to that being the last place i Checked out.m. I used two different operating threatres, (about 13 hours total) the critical care facility, two different high dependency units, two different ensuite single patient rooms, the ct scan facilities, the x-ray dept several times, the ultra scan facilities , and i think maybe the mri scan facility. So i have used the facilities there more than most and apart from a delay in getting some porters on a Sunday to take me for a scan everything was of the highest order, even the food was good. It is an amazing facility we should all be proud of and if I hear anybody in my vicinity decrying the hospital and its staff, they will in short order be thankful of the facilities there.

More worrying

I heard a discussion today about whether the EHIC – European Health Insurance Card – will cease to cover us in Europe on March 30th unless the government gets it’s act together and negotiates reciprocal cover for EU nationals here and UK nationals abroad before Brexit.

Failure to do this will mean a huge increase in travel insurance costs and may render it impossible for some people to travel or receive cover ( perhaps more important for EU residents here, e.g. elderly foreign residents) Only emergency cover will be provided.

Why don’t the papers tell the general public this and the real facts?

Just as Labour follow Tory, Tory follows Labour.

It wasn’t Labour that stopped the Poll Tax, nor was it the Unions. It was the ordinary man and woman in the street. Who claimed the credit?

Corbyn wants Brexit but he doesn’t want to deliver it, he is perfectly happy for no deal.

Why, because there will be an election soon after and the Tories will be split by then. Even Corbyn can’t lose!

Corbyn can do one of 3 things, he can campaign to get back in, he can renegotiate no deal with Norway Plus or he sticks with no deal.

It doesn’t matter to him, he can blame the Tories and hope he gets 2 terms. The most likely scenario is the Tories regroup and they take over.

Tories follow Labour, follow Tory.

If independence comes, I wonder how many house Jocks will move south to reside in their true spiritual home. No pesky Scottish government or uppity Scots in their way. Just direct rule from Westminster among all those fine, superior Sassenachs.

There is definitely an element of masochism to unionism. They hear someone with an English accent and go weak at the knees because they believe they are the Scots’ natural better and should rule them.

These kind of Scots have always been with us, even when Scotland was a sovereign state with its own king. They were with us when the Union of the Crowns happened, they facilitated the Union of the Parliaments and I suspect there will still be some who will remain post-indy, yearning for the good old days when Massa England told them what to do.

Just British Tories of the North British variety.

There’d be a fair few out last night – all tartaned-up and off to celebrate their Scottishness, delivering their best efforts at “Jockanese” with a Home Counties accent. A few guineas raised for SiU and other Yoon-related causes no doubt.

Pass the sick-bag someone, I feel nauseous at the thought of them…

Superb cartoon
Leonardo DiCaprio as Theresa May
Christoph Waltz as Guy Verhofstadt

Great cartoon Chris – nice you made it back.

@ Socrates MacSporran… I will never have a bad word said about McGonnagall, there’s monae a poe faced ‘serious’ poet, would make me run a mile… McGonnagall however, always puts a smile on my face.

Re – anti-biotic resistance drugs. Some germs (not all) can be killed with alcohol rubs, and some need soap and water, as they are resistant to alcohol.

Even those in the medical profession tend to forget this!!!

Importantly – the bug that causes the sickness and diahorea (this is a word resistant to spell check and impossible to remember how to spell) – is resistant to Alcohol. So if you are visiting the hospital to see a vulnerable loved one, honestly don’t use the alcohol rub dispenser (touched be everyone) unless you want to catch and spread this germ, rather than zap it. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. The procedure at the hospitals is very much a case of good intentions having the opposite effect, but being seen to ‘do something’.

If you would rather still use it, use your sleeve to push down the dispensor, not your bare hand.

Big Pharma are actively NOT interested in producing new varieties of Antibiotics. Indeed if antibiotics had not been invented, and came along now, they would keep them under lock and key – only for those and such as those. No money in quick, efficient cures, compared to long term meds which reduce conditions.

Good article in today’s National from Angus Roberston re Burns night in Germany – Scotland is Very popular there just now.

This time out, I rather think the whole world is going to be rooting for Scotland (in many respects Europe was always going to be the hardest one to convince).

Hope its soon.

One last thing re the European Medical Centre relocating from London to Netherlands.

900 jobs going (most of which were high end)

44,000 business visits to London due to its presence. So, knock on effect to the hospitality sector too.

Fast track of new Meds in the UK, due to its presence in London… now gone.

And if we’re out, for all new meds, the Pharma companies will aim, first for the American Market 600 Million? (not sure of this figure), then for the EU market 500 Million, (the 2 most affluent markets, with the strongest H and S stds to comply with), thereafter the rest of the world.

The UK with its 60 million will be small potatoes, and way down the list for potentially life saving new meds coming here.

And lastly (some things to consider – I think I’m correct in saying)- we have pharma manufacturers in the UK – if we are out, they will either need to relocate (head office and/or entire production) to EU so that the licensing and checking procedures are deemed trustworthy and EU compliant, AND quite possibly (if we keep production in UK) each and every one of the drugs they sell, will have to be re-licensed for EU consumption.

And that is a long, and costly procedure. More jobs to go I suspect, one way or another.

Peace and love to all.

Since 2015 when my dug adopted me , most days I take it a long walk to the other side of the bay and back, most days except the warmest im wearing my Blue beenie hat with YES prominently on the front. I think twice in all that time my hat has been commented on by strangers. Three times in the last few days strangers have come up to me and said nice hat, im going to be voting yes in Indyref2 . One of them today was an English checkout guy at rhe Co-op , he has seen me wear that hat hundreds of times and never muttered a word, he said you might think its strange an Englishman voting for Independence, I said it does not matter where we come from its where we are going together that matters, i think something is stirring 🙂

@Lenny Hartley –

Nice one!

That date would certainly liven up FMQ’s…!!

Daisy Walker @ 3.17pm
“”Big Pharma are actively NOT interested in producing new varieties of Antibiotics. Indeed if antibiotics had not been invented, and came along now, they would keep them under lock and key…””

Antibiotics were not invented. They occur naturally eg penicillin. Discovered would be a better word. Their anti-bacterial properties were discovered eg Fleming.

Around 70% of the world’s antibiotics come from a species of bacteria called Streptomyces, a bacteria found in soil, although most are used in veterinary medicine you have the likes of Streptomycin in humans.

There is in fact a lot of R&D going on to find new antibiotics which tend to be synthesised de novo rather than found in bacteria or moulds as in the past.

Agree with you about soap and water being best. Soaps have charged ions which interact with the charged ions in the cell wall of bacteria and blow them apart.

Having said that I would use the dispensers if nothing else is available. Better than nothing.

And one final thing: don’t take flowers into hospitals when you go visiting.

Another brilliant cartoon, Chris. Thanks for that.

How sad is that? Standing there with the 27 EU flags folded in their hands. A visual reality of the harsh reality of a bunch of bl**dy idiots running this country and they wonder why we want out? Strange that I’ve not heard any mention of this / seen any of the footage on the BBC. Lying by omission as usual?

…………………………….

@ Socrates MacSporran says at 10:39 am …. ”Nicola going to the Palace. There she would say: “Ma’am, you are Queen of Scots. The sovereign people of Scotland have voted overwhelmingly to remain within the EU, but, Your Majesty’s UK government is determined to drag them out. It is therefore your duty, as Queen of Scots, to refuse assent to withdrawal from the EU, since this is against the wishes of the sovereign people of Scotland.” Then, the shite would really hit the fan.”

Ha ha ha. Good one SMS. Maybe we should initiate a petition signed by sovereign Scots, to that effect, and hand it into Buckie. In fact we should think of having the next AUOB walk to London, waving our Saltires, to do so. We’d no doubt be pelted with rotten eggs and tomatoes along the way, hit over the head with Union Flags and so on, which would make for great ”Better Together”, ”Scots visiting the Queen” viewing if the BBC / STV would get round to broadcasting it.

Some great comments on this thread but I particularly enjoyed geeo’s @2.25.

No-one expects any good from a Tory, but the egalitarian principles and drive to improve the lot of working people of the founder of the Labour party, Keir Hardie, is a million miles away from the ermine-chasing chancers who go into coalition with the Blue Tories everywhere in Scotland to snuil the independence party.

At least the Tories aren’t hypocrites in that regard.

I don’t really know much about the Glasgow Square 2019 apart from what I read on Wings. I’m really looking forward to the programs about it on STV and BBC Scotland this week, old footage, reports, interviews with descendants, plus reporting on the Herald, Scotsman and so on. I’m sure they’ll all be covering it in great …

… oh.

Regarding Bacteria and hand washing.

I recently read a study done here in the USA what is the best for cleaning hands.

Seems it doesn’t matter whether you use Hot or cold water, FRICTION is the key. Rubbing hands and fingers vigorously back and forth is what gets rid of most germs.

No difference using Hot or Cold Water. Soap helps though.

Alcohol works a lot of the time by water trying to get out of the bug, trying to equalise with the alcohol outside the bug, this tares apart the cell structure, thus starting to kill the bug.
A Mico person on here will be able to tell me if that is correct or not.

I hope it is YES

@Legerwood “flowers”
“”True dat though everybody does. They could be passed through a simple UV lamp scanner to remove most of the bacteria – and insects!””

Nice try, but no coconut.

The flowers sit in water in the ward/single patient room and slowly turns green as the stems decay. Disposing of the flowers and the scummy water produces aerosols which are dispersed in the air with the potential for infection.

……..
Petra @ 5.12pm

I often wonder if the opposition politicians who constantly attack the NHS in Scotland realise how many people use it, or knows someone who has, and know it has worked for so many of them.

There are 4.2-4.5 million OPD appointments annually of which 1.3-1.5 million are first time appointments. That is an awful lot of people/voters using the system and know it is working.
Every month there are around 25,000-30,000 planned ops
Every week there are some 25,000 attendances at A&E of whom around a quarter end up being admitted.
And on and on. Yes NHS Scotland is under pressure and Brexit is not helping but it is still a great service.

The point you raised about infection and the screaming publicity making people afraid to go into hospital. Ms Freeman, Health Secretary, made the point several times during the week that the infection rate at QEUH was below the national average for Scotland which is itself much lower than it was in 2007 when the SNP took over.

Then people across Scotland were afraid to go into hospital because of the very real possibility of catching an infection particularly MRSA. Ms Freeman pointing out the good record of the hospital while not downplaying the seriousness of the 2 cases of the crytococcus cases, was exactly the right thing to do. Of course the usual suspects were outraged by her pointing out the hospital’s record with regard to controlling infection.

Some of us Independenistas will be on A Little list just now . Robert Peffers would have been on the Rosyth list for sure .

Alex Salmond would be top priority when he was at Westminster & more so now as a xFM & friend of the current FM Nicola .

All the bestest Alex Salmond .

Maybe it needs events like Brexit and AS being ‘out of commission’ ( possibly even NS) to make the people of Scotland realise that if WE want it WE actually have to fight for it ourselves.

It’s not just AS or NS who want an independence referendum, it’s US, you and me, the Scots and pretty soon we are going to have stand up and be counted, martial law or no. I’m not suggesting any violence, don’t misunderstand me.

Just think back to Catalonia, Ukraine, and many other similar situations when people have taken to the streets in their hundreds of thousands demanding reform.

This notion that subliminal use of the UJ can affect people’s thinking on the subject.
Maybe we need to make our Saltires a lot more visible – not just at the subliminal level.
So in addition to our bridges, maybe we need to get another march out before February.
Show T May and everyone else that it’s not just Nicola or AS but us that want Independence.

What’s more important- marching or feeling ‘it’s a wee bit cauld the day’ ?

@Ronnie Anderson

I’m sure when the Rev’s computer was confiscated all of us were put on a list.

The authoritarian direction of this UK government is taking us down a very dark road. It won’t be long before we have to declare ‘whether or not we have ever voted SNP or believe in Independence’ before we get to vote.

It’s Something.

Wull2 @ 5.22pm

Not quite how alcohol works as an anti-bacterial agent.

The alcohol has a double action. It denatures proteins in the membrane, that is they lose their structure and thus cannot function, and lipids in the membrane dissolve in the alcohol.

Optimal concentrations are between 50%-80%.

Problem with using alcohol solutions as bacteriocide widely in public spaces is the possibility of fire – vapour igniting etc.

That’s a great article by Fidelma Cook, Ronnie (7:30pm). Well worth a read.

..”The Irish, now willingly part of, and prosperous, in a united Europe can, at long last, look calmly on the fist-shaking little Englanders in the Palace of Westminster as their bluffs are called out. Not so the Scots. Each session their representatives are laughed at, talked over, dismissed as irritants in England’s, yes England’s, desires. Humiliated even.”..

….”All these thoughts and more have been churning in my mind as I sit in my French field and watch countries I’ve lived in, and in two cases, loved, be affected yet again by English might and arrogance.

I know you may call me a dreamer but I’m not the only one. Imagine.”

link to facebook.com

………………………..

Spot on Fidelma, At least half of Scotland’s population is dreaming of Independence now. Makes a change from having nightmares about Westminster.

I was at a rugby match this afternoon. I know there are one or two independence-supporting members of the two clubs involved, but the vast majority – many from the farming community, are Tory voters.

The Salmond case was being discussed and, even among the ranks of the Tory voters, the overwhelming perception is that it is a huge, Westminster-orchestrated stitch-up.

One member today, who has a very good female friend who worked or the SNP and had daily contact with Wee Eck reported her as saying: “If someone had reported him for bullying, I would have believed it, but, sexual misconduct – no chance, no way, and I worked with him or years.”

‘I’m sure when the Rev’s computer was confiscated all of us were put on a list.’

I’ve often wondered if this was what that was really about, they certainly will have all our email addresses, easy from then on in to match who’s who on here.

Loss of the European Medicines Agency and the European Banking Authority are small but signifiant examples of the inevitable social, cultural and economic self harms that are Brexit.

On holiday last summer I met the man responsible for relocating 1000 ‘EMA’ families from London to the Netherlands. He was exhausted with the scale of the task and taking a few days respite. When I asked him what he made of us leaving the EU he said, no one could understand it as the UK had easily the best deal out of the 28 member states.

The impression he gave was one of dignified regret that the world of medicine will be diminished by this folly.

We must now free ourselves from the wasters of Westminster and their allies, with speed. As Kevin McKenna puts it in the Herald today, independence is now a necessity.

The penny hasn’t dropped. But then, they don’t actually ‘get it’ on Colonialism, or the Union, or being European.

NOBODY wants to join the Uk in its enterprise, including half the UK. The BBC needs to let its reporters get out a bit. “https://t.co/iqdCnGrcRo

The essence of the relationship between England and Scotland is that of systematic, long-term and cruel psychological and economic abuse.

Can anybody refer me to anything said anywhere, which gives rise to the possibility the EU 27 will reciprocate a request to extend Article 50 by actually extending it?

I think it is charitable delusion to expect any extension to be agreed, and if by some miracle it was extended, it would only, could only, be a short stay of execution up until the EU elections in May.

It seems to me people are decorating a possible(if you say so) extension to Article 50 with all the baubles and tinsel of a revocation of Article 50.

We are still chasing fairies either way.

I cannot see any better option than for Scotland to prepare the way down Constitutional Avenue for Scotland to revoke its Article 50 unilaterally.

If we have a better option, please, tell me what it is.

There is no time for IndyRef before catastrophe collides, and this conjecture over a Section 30 Agreement seems tantamount to fiddling while Rome burns.
