The world's most-read Scottish politics website

Wings Over Scotland


We have a Facebook page now

Posted on December 28, 2012 by

We’re really sorry. But apparently there are some people who primarily interact with the internet through the godawful atrocity, so now you can direct them there. We’re only planning to use it to post links back to here, so if you already read the normal site (ie the one you’re on now), there’s no reason to ever go to the Facebook page.

(Although do go there once and click “Like”, as apparently and weirdly it gives us more stats once we get a certain number of them, or something. We think.)

Now we’re off to have a shower and scrub ourselves with a scouring pad.

You feel dirty?  Spare a thought for me.

I just got back from spending Christmas with friends in England, and there was a little pile of late-ish Christmas cards for me to open.  As I worked through them I came to a card – a “community calendar” from David Mundell, featuring his ugly mug grinning at the top.

If I put a “Yes Scotland” sticker in the window, do you think it would work like garlic or rowan and keep them away?

I reckon it’s a good idea. OK, there already was a FB link on the articles, but I think this might drive a little more traffic towards this site which can never be a bad thing.

If only. I suspect city parking officers are of unionist persuasion too.

You used to be cool, man. Now you’ve gone, like, mainstream, dude.
 
More like lamestream, am I right? I am cancelling my subscription and writing a letter of complaint to the editor. After your big defence for twitter I’d have thought you’d be more enthusiastic about fb.

I feel kind of dirty just knowing I’m here and you’ve been on there, tbh. I’ll not be jumping on that bandwagon even though I’m happy to read your tweets. A step too far into the abyss.

I wonder how many people are aware that the Facebook buttons and such that you see on pages are tracking your online activity? It’s worth using Ccleaner frequently. 

I had to do the same recently because YES Scotland and RIC insist on organising through Facebook – The man who’ll rob your eyes to see.

My last post about Facebook tracking visitors to your site has disappeared. Obviously a conspiracy. I was going to add that people should use something like DoNotTrackMe and clear out their cookies constantly – whenever you’ve finished doing something.

@Rev

I tried to post two comments about Facebook and they’ve both disappeared.

You will never get me anywhere Faceplook. It’s the Devil’s work.

Tut, such seasonal good cheer should be shared!

Send him a card with Alex Salmond’s face on it, and Nicola Sturgeon’s last speech.

Maybe invent a meeting of the “Conservatives for Independence” 2nd Jan 10.30 at the local library. He’ll be there! In spirit if not in person …

Rev will be posting pictures of himself in the bathroom mirror – fat girl camera angle and all. Then it’ll be pictures of him “casually” lounging in bed. It’s all downhill from here…

Morag has a point.I haven’t had any damage done to my car in parking areas & Dr’s surgery since I removed the YES sticker.I did so as we suspected our new car was attracting bumps and scratches due to us being seditious bastards from the true norm. Anyway my car was the only car I saw with a YES sticker in Dumfries and the Stewartry.
Happy New Year from a lonely North Britain South
I thought facebook was for naughty people

Sorry rev,

I will not be going near Facebook, I don’t want to get contaminated by such evil going’s on. The Unionist’s would delight in tearing your Wings off, feather by feather. I’ll stick to this main page to keep my Independence.

Goody, now we can be BFFs, LOL

@Semus.
My car has been ‘keyed’ twice. I had never considered the YES sticker might have caused it. I thought it was simply because nobody liked me. 🙂
Luckily it’s an old banger, much like the driver.

Hell’s teeth, can nobody read?  The card from Mundell was pushed through my letter box.  I was contemplating a “Yes Scotland” sticker in the window of my house.

I have two “Yes Scotland” stickers on my car, a Golf GTi Mk VI, and so far as I am aware nobody has so much as laid a finger on it.

Having read the quality of your  ‘debate’ with ‘appy xmas on Twitter I’m convinced twitter is even more of a bampot hotel than FB.  These folk are ill.  But tbh both are  like a 21st century Bedlam.  A horrid fascination with car crash intellects.  When used constructivly, like most communication channels, fine when used properly but….

Boorach

Anyone got spare ‘Yes’ stickers?

A few keyings, bumps etc could only improve my old van!! 😆 

Morag

Actually, I have a handful….
