Wings Over Scotland

In the name of Jesus, am ur ra peepul! God save ra kween.

Crass doesn’t begin to describe the BBC coverage of Scottish politics. As for overt, that’s because they no longer care what we think.

They KNOW we see their lies and propaganda, they know many have stopped paying their license fees but they are unable to stop because they are losing the fight.

That is the truth of it, nothing they have done since 2014 has made a dent in support for Independence so they are to use a poker term “going all in”.

Sometimes that pays off, my view is that they’re on tilt.

Getting a wee bit more serious now, this shambles of a show tonight smacks of desperation. Look at the state of the Brexit negotiations which also smack of desperation. They have no where to go, at least no where they would be welcome.

Independence supporters just need bide their time as everyday Independence comes closer without the need to lift a finger.

Has Billy photoshopped himself? Because that head definitely disny fit that body.

I defy anyone to suggest the BBC is impartial after seeing this.

It’s been so obvious to us Wings readers for such a long now but the sheer blatant nature with which they continue rub our faces in it holds no bounds and shows they just don’t care. They know they’ll get away with it.

Obviously he was a plant. Obviously Ms Bruce coordinated the quite shameful heckling and gerrymandered Brit Nat hand picked gammons to belittle Fiona Hyslop and the independence Movement.
Fiona Bruce is actually sneering every time she speaks to Hyslop.
What a tawdry little Brit Nat Propaganda effort this programme is. 24 minutes of SNP bad while Forsyth and Rifkind’s son smirked and enjoyed the put up job.
It did nothing but stiffen our already iron resolve to drive our Brit colonisers out of our country.
There is a special place in hell for BBC Scotland manipulators.

Why is Forsyth picked? He just reminds everyone of Thatcher.

And they can fuck off with their ‘BBC Scotland’ channel.
Reruns of The White Heather Club and Weir’s Way, and Take the High Road.
I am spitting fucking teeth.
This is the last straw.

probably worth remembering that the “new BBC Scotland Channel” promises its own QT. How often will he appear on that? Often enough that Equity will offer him membership?

And with Glasgow Rangers on a roll the spring is definitely being put back into the Unionists’ step.

Stopped watching this tawdry programme after the previous Dianne Abbott disgraceful setup. Bruce is a 1000 times worse than Dumbledore ever was. It just makes it easier to prove to any doubters that the media is nothing more than fraudulent propaganda.

This programme reflects the U.K. – a lie.

Also worth noting that Fiona Bruce selected four (at least) questions as they got toward the end of the section on indy. ALL OF THEM HOSTILE. If the audience has been randomly selected (except for Billy boy) and she selects at random from the audience- this starts at about 29 minutes in – starts with a guy with a face like a pie (when are the SNP going to give up on independence) , then its a woman with an orange top (why join Eu but leave UK), then a guy moaning about how the SNP have cut local authority funding, finishes with a guy who suggests sticking to the day job. Fiona Bruce even says to Fiona Hyslop that she’s getting a hard time. What are the chances of these four all in a row? Leave balance out of it – what are the chances of choosing these four at random?

I meant 16/1 shot.

I’ve relinquished my SM outfits for personal reasons but I’m not giving up the Wing.

The whole programme was engineered to plant the seed of hatred and poison the mind of the mind of the viewer………………

At one point (over the Irish Border) Fiona Bruce muttered “that’s not going down well” to Michael Forsyth!!!
Didn’t let any of the audience have their say on that!!

Jezza@12.56am

Sectarian Britnat post.

This is not for audiences in Scotland, as such. It’s to portray Scotland as some kind of insular, narrow, red neck, thick as two short planks, incapable of reasoned thought and definitely incapable of any kind of actual self government, to the outside world. A bit like their jailers in England.

Re the BBC, England IS the outside world, because they don’t do world, they don’t do international, they do irrational, they do insular, they do ethnic nationalist.

So, if you have a narrow narrative, and dress it up as THE narrative, it works a treat. The BBC have the audience in their dirty scheming palms, and it works. If it didn’t work hey wouldn’t do it. It’s from up on high, it’s all coming from dirty dealings, dirty money and dodgy regimes.

Everyone knows that Scotland would have been set adrift if there was nothing to hang onto, ( now for dear life re Eng’s Brexit) ie abundant resources to say the absolute very very least.

I can just hear my pals in Northumberland, laughing their heeds off at Scotland being ridiculed on QT, undermined and taken for fools. Not because they identify with Scotland’s plight but because they see Scotland through BBC and the daily rag the Guardian’s eyes.

They do not want Scotland to be different, to do well, or even, survive. Nope, we are going down with their sinking stinking rotten ship, and stop thinking you are better you silly sweaty uppity jocks!

I used to get “invited” to apply to go on QT whenever it was in Scotland. Filling out the form I was always honest about my political affiliations. I never got picked.

A year or two ago I did get on to a Gordon Brewer radio show at the last minute “because somebody dropped out”.The room was half empty. I asked the folk nearby what they’d put for political affiliations and they all said they’d put “undecided”.

A friend of mine told me that after failing to get on to QT several times he decided to lie. He told them he had been a Tory but had changed over to UKIP because the Tories were too left-wing.

Not only did they give him a place in the Glasgow audience but they told him when the show was going to be in Scotland next time (Aberdeen) and offered to pay his expenses if he would join them up there too.

I’m with Jack Collatin on this one ,fcuk the brutish lyin meedja there has to be something the SG can do to hold them to account , mass withdrawal of licence fee , or guinea pig crowdfunded court case to highlight their lies , as in Cliff Richard case

For those of a certain age – ITMA.

Gus 1940 @ 2.19
It’s certainly a possibility, if they plan to portray the Indy movement as subversive to the British leaning Scots, who of course are the “right thinking “ majority… lol
Or a Yes voting Scotland caught up in some sort of mass Hysteria, to have voted to leave the UK.
Ye know…. “ the Greatest Act of Self harm Ever by any Country “!!!

Ye really cannot make it up, typical BBC!

its time everybody boycotts qt ,all the time viewing figures count at the ebc and if stopped in the street tell them you vote indy therefor you wont show this interview and walk on , let them believe no one is interested in politics and we may get a referendum.

“Donalda Where’s Your Viewers” – an update on the old Andy Stewart song…

I do not believe in overt plants but the chances of wee Orange Billy getting picked is actually lower than you think. The BBC pre-decide what proportion of views they want on the show. They will be wanting a good dozen or more of Mason Boynes in the audience if not more. They will take the advices of BBC Scotland who will have suggested that as it West Coast then they need a higher proportion of knuckledraggers

Given that the majority of King Billy types

A. Will never have heard of QT
B. Can’t write
C. Will Never been out of Larkhall

only a few are going to apply and fewer are going to say what their political affiliation and views are.

When you apply you also give two indicative questions that you would like to ask. If your question fits the BBC narrative for the evening, ie in Scotland it’s always SNPBad then you get picked.

Ergo the likes of Orange Billy applications will be small and fit right into the “audience balance” BBC algorithm. I would say the chances of King Billy get selected were closer to 2/1.

Only a few get picked to ask a question to the panel but the presenter is fed the details of where the Narrative fillers are sitting.

So if you want on QT you must say that you have some extreme view especially if it fits into the current Narrative

I thought Fiona Hyslop did well, maintaining her dignity and answering in as genuine a way as was possible given Fiona Bruce’s expected rudeness and manipulation.

Too blatant Fiona B. This is a lass who lacks skill.

As for the man in the red/orange fleece being allowed to rant until he dwindled and ran out of steam. Predictable.

And I DID wonder when he was chosen to speak! But thought, surely not!

Well BBC, how are you going to explain yourselves this time?

Actually. Who cares?

The man speaks out of his waste expulsion pipe. I stopped watching the Tories flagship question time a long time ago

Fiona Bruce kept interrupting Fiona Hyslop, along with the rest of her Unionist panel. She just could not help displaying her innate middle class and ignorant South East prejudices and fared no better than the underclass Billy Boy frae Larkhall.

All of the English panelists in the English talking head shows give press reviews from English right wing papers, not that the English owned “Scottish” Papers are any better. I am still waiting on the occasional Scots’s chatterer to refuse to quote from these papers. I suppose there is as much chance of one of them demanding to quote form the National paper as there as much chance of successful North Brit, Team GB, athletes refusing to wrap themselves in a Butcher’s Apron and sing the Jelly Bean song.

After all, black American athletes who dared to do the equivalent on the winners podiums suffered greatly. Have Scots sporties just got got the bottle? Do they prefer their Scotch with M & S Union Jack Labels?

How much did “Sir” Andy Murray recieve for carrying the Butcher’s Apron during the Olympics? I can understand black English athletes having to accept being wrapped in the Butcher’s Apron as soon as they pass the winning post. It took a white English author, Danny Boyle and a wee Cockney actor, Phil Collins, to refuse Imperial honours and say so publicly.

I remember one female Scots swimmer refusing to sing the Jelly Bean song taking public abuse and vanishing from the public eye. Scots fitba and rugger fans can boo the anti Scottish anthem, but the, mainly Old Firm, well paid players dare not show any solidarity along with their fans.

We cannot even question rigged Question Time,let alone Imperial Honours systems that put us down. I will be marching in April at Arbroath, still looking for another Ninety Nine, like those who declared in 1320, “For as long as 100 of us remain alive would not yield to the domination of the English”

Saw a few clips of this on social media earlier. Unsure whether or not to subject myself to the whole thing or not. What I do suspect may also be happening is heavy editing of the audience audio between recording and transmission.

BBC now, obviously, are in their major “Anti Scottish SNP Baaad” mode.

QT was an absolute disgrace, selected audience, planted questioners and Fiona Bruce “chairing”.

Honestly, Goebbels is not even in the same league as BBC Scotland – except maybe he was more subtle!!

The only good thing is that they are demonstrating, clearly, what they are up to. We need to quickly dissolve this union.

Pity Fiona Hyslop didn’t call,out Billy Mitchell for what he is, a bigoted wee Ukipper. Many watching would assume he was a random Scot. QT clearly had him positioned and primed for his moronic rant. As for oil a tenner a barrel, currently about $62 so a downright lie.

The reality is the BBC know that the only reaction they will get is a few bad comments on social media from independence supporters and that will be that.

So they will carry on regardless.

Not that I watched q/t, I value my health too much.
I agree will the comment that the bbc has given up on Scotland but is presenting the view that there is no demand for indy to England

I understand where you’re coming from, but don’t believe for one minute the BBC will abandon its relentless campaign of indoctrination. It is rotten to the core and has the blackest of hearts.

I am curious however. Just supposing Scotland didn’t have our Constitutional rights and history, and that we Scots actually were a seceding region, I wonder whether the BBC’s rampant indoctrination and propaganda added to it’s broadcasting monopoly would constitute an infringement of our human rights.

The fact Scotland, with our Constitutional Sovereignty is subjected to this diet of colonial manipulation is frankly absurd.

I hope the BBC ceases to exist in Scotland at the earliest opportunity, but to quote Leonidus in 300, “May it live forever” south of the Border knowing that it’s own slavering BritNat pish was perhaps the biggest moderator of Scottish public opinion which ushered in the collapse of the Union.

I can only speak for myself, but I am sick and tired of this crass and clumsy interference in Scotland’s spiritual awakening. I remember back in 2014 when nobody wanted to discuss the media and bias was an unmentionable four letter word. If nothing else, there is now a much healthier cynicism and mistrust of the BBC and wider media, but the indoctrination goes on targeting the weak and the gullible… of which we seem to have plenty.

If you are a BBC employee at Pathetic Quay in Glasgow, and didn’t believe the BBC was merely a propaganda tool of England, think again. What was done on Question time last night was NOT an accident, or just merely coincidence.

The BBC in Scotland is an organisation of London propagandists, spooks and stooges, with just one goal, make sure Scots always feel inadequate, and that Scotland, unlike every other country in the world, could not possibly survive without being run by England.

That is what you work for, if you work for the BBC. That is what you are helping to achieve. Working, perhaps without realising it, to deliberately undermine YOUR own country, Scotland. You can fool yourself, into thinking that it can’t possibly be true, but it is. Time and time and time again, it has been proven to be the case.

Of course the BBC say they are ‘balanced’, of course they say they are not against Scotland. All the best liars (and their is none better at it than the lying BBC) and propagandists deny their culpability.

The BBC is a scourge upon Scotland. At every turn, they pay us lip service, whilst undermining our country and self belief. They serve another country, England.

Their is a word for people like that.

” … Cubby
Fuck off ya fuckin wanker.”

Well that’s you on a very, very, very short ignore and scroll by list.

The other thing to remember about the BBC – It’s not what you see, though that’s poisonous enough, but what you don’t see, and all that is kept from us and off our view screens.

There is someone moaning about weirs way and take the high road. Y ou are very Unlikely to see STV content on a on the new BBC channel. White Heather Club was BBC. Unlikely to see that too.

To me the main purpose of wings, to provide news you don’t get from our media. YES

And folk in the Scotish Government are welcoming a new BBC channel for Scotland! What do they think it will be like? Well this mainly.

We have a purely poisonous propaganda outlet right in our midst. Will be interesting (not) to see the ‘programme’ on the Ind Ref they are cobbling together.

What is it with Tory MPs like Toucher Thomson and Loyalust flute bands members always blowing off?

Come on folks. We have been saying since 2014 that the BBC is an arm of the State. Like us,they know the road to indy is coming up fast and they are trying to derail it by means of television and radio, in the belief that those who control the narrative control the population.

This is why in a coup the first places to be taken are television and radio stations. However, on many occasions this has not worked. (Cuba,Turkey). I believe that events are overtaking the BBC. The Scottish population like us are no longer compliant or easily led, though many will be.

Media of all descriptions are our enemy, and they are more numerous. It is therefore not a battleground where we can win unless we offer a more combatative style of reply.

We must use their own programme against them and make the replies to questions more memorable than the question itself.

Farage ia a master of such sad to say. There is indeed no such thing as bad publicity, only bad ownership of it.

The BBC is England’s state broadcaster. It and its agents do what the apparatus of ‘deep state’ require of it. Trust it at your peril. Certainly do not expect it to be tuned in to the wavelength of the Scottish nation. However, like all old style media its audience is shrinking fast.

Very frustrating programme but not helped by Fiona Hyslop. Whilst she managed to get one or two points in she just wasn’t strong enough. How could she let the WM government telling us in 2014 there would have to be a border and the reversing that view for Ireland get turned into an SNP stupid issue ? How could she let Ms Bruce away with inferring the SNP can’t make a decision on when to hold a referendum when it has always been as soon as we know what the Brexit deal is ? Disappointed. Any Indie supporter must know they will get a hard time on QT. They should be prepared

This is BritNat Propaganda to be used evidencialy as part of the “No appetite for 2nd Independence Referendum” argument.

As for the BBC:

The Phoney War has well and truly ended.

Brexit and IndyRef2 are rapidly approaching.

The UK Government has lost control of both of these events.

You can smell the panic among the British Nationalists.

BritNat Broadcasting Corporation continue doing it’s patriotic duty, defending “The Precioussss Union” as per the British Nationalist Broadcasters Royal Charter (aka ‘only obeying orders’).

Propaganda straight oot the Joseph Goebbels play book.

6. The Public Purposes

The Public Purposes of the BBC are as follows.

(4) ………and help contribute to the social cohesion and wellbeing of the United Kingdom.

link to assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Thankfully I stopped watching that failing biased question time programme a long time ago.
Its about time it was scrapped.

Off topic I see the UKs top political forecaster John Curtice,who advised SNP voters that giving their second vote to another party wouldn’t damage the SNP.

Is at it again, having apparently placed a bet on there being no second indy ref.

At a courier business meeting he made the claim that the SNP’s anti Brexit stance has dented the party’s prospects of an independent Scotland.

Shame you don’t get paid to go on, looks like he needs a 2nd set of clothes. Badly.

Fiona Bruce, and the BBC set out deliberately to humiliate a member of the Scottish Government.
Forsyht met with Billy Orangeman before the show, and was clearly delighted when Bruc elet the Brit Nat dogs loose on the Bad SNP.

It was a criminal dereliction of duty as a publicly funded broadcaster.
BBC is the enemy of the Scottish people.
It is a Brit Nat Iron Heel Oligarchy’s propaganda machine, nothing more.
Fuck off out of our country, beeb.

“Donalda Where’s Your Viewers” – an update on the old Andy Stewart song…

Where’s Jock Scot and Ninja Penguin when you need them? 😉

Shock , horror, BBC QT is found to be staged to promote UK bias.

What a waste of time and energy. Most of you have known this since well before 2014.

Yer kiddin yersel on if you think its gonna change.

Focus FFS, spend your time constructively. Ignore this diversion.

The Sottish Gov should not go on QT.
Anyway slighty O/T, (apologies if already posted) here is Ken Clarke talking to Der Spiegel link to m.spiegel.de

Plainly Madame Sturgeon sees fallback career opportunities elsewhere, but then I’m a total cynic where politicians are concerned.
link to thenational.scot

Thing about Question Time is the bias is pretty clear, and blunted because it’s so transparent.

What is much more insidious is the subtle bias in your news and public affairs which can worm its way pass peoples’ defences. Bias by omission is just as manipulative as telling straight out lies and distorting the truth.

The most effective way to short circuit their control is getting the truth out through social media and face to face communication. Once you tune in to what is going on, it’s very difficult to “unsee” it.

link to youtube.com

Jeezo, like others dropped QT after having viewed since the late 60s
On twitter last night, as above all the info on Billy O O , one tweet struck me was one who insisted it is his 7th, yip SEVENTH appearance ?
Appart from the tweet I have no evidence.

I sympathise with FH, being bombarded with such rubbish/abuse however for £10 a barrel doon the barras my instant reaction is
“see me after the show, ye can get me a dozen barrels” pause & follow on with “BTW has it ever occurred to you to wonder how it only a tenner a barrel in the barras yet over a fiver a gallon……..WM Taxation mean anything to you ? ”

Ach these things are enough to feck us off & that is the purpose. Remember they also feck folk off with the BBC too.

Good idea X Sticks , we need some light entertainment again
“Donalda where’s yer viewers?”

BBC breakfast this morning: first item NHS/ police Scotland scare story about amount of time spent by police attending a+e centres. What nonsense “concern has been expressed “ but they do not say by whom. Police guy saying it is due to lack of ambulance cover! So presumably he believes ambulance staff have handcuffs etc and expected to do police work for them. Unbelievable! As usual no context. How much time is spent at sports matches? How does this compare with non Scottish parts of the UK?
They really are beyond belief. How can so called journalists work for them and sleep at night?

Call Kaye, call Kaye she will have an explanation

ha ha ha

The BBC is a joke

When independence comes I want to see these people in a court and explaining their lies and manipulation.

The bbc seems to be in a blind panic, it reminds me of the frantic panic of president of Romaina just before he was shot.

Treeza and her merry band lunatics still think the EU is bluffing.

Unbafuckinleavable.

Right on time there BDTT

My bad , senior moment Doh!

What’s all the wailing for? The UK is defending itself from internal attack and potential breakup and strife using all means at its disposal, the BBC being one of their arsenal. We have not seen anything yet as they have hardly flexed their muscles. Stop greetin’ and do something – how about a sales & presentation skills academy as a must for ALL SNP people before appearing in the media and no exceptions.

The tragedy of last night’s QT was the completely lacklustre response from Fiona Hyslop a so called experienced politician. I remember the same woeful response from her in Aberdeen at the National Conference at a BBC fringe meeting, so bad some SNP members walked out of their own meeting.

Fiona Hyslop is not alone. Many of the SNP senior hierarchy including MSP’s and MP’s are equally bad. They’ve been doing bad for so long they think their good and all they do is provide long winded answers with reams of figures. They need selling skills full stop and simple message.

Last night also highlighted 4/5 wasted years by the SNP in selling the indy message. No point in calling indyref2 and then working on the message it’s the other way round.

Last night’s QT showed up big time how badly prepared we are in providing answers to the 2014 referendum or trying the alternative of a simplified message on independence. We should thank QT for showing how badly prepared we are should indyref2 be called.

I got quite upset last night watching this, now having doubts that we’ll ever get independence. Can’t believe people still think we’re “better together”. What does it take. I am so depressed.

I don’t watch it anymore but I’ll admit I flicked over to hear a woman make a point in support of the SNP to which there was only a tiny ripple of applause. I turned back over. Pity Derek Mackey wasn’t invited on, I don’t expect Fiona Hyslop was very forceful. It would have been wonderful if they could have briefed their rep to expect Billy to put in another appearance, “Well hello Billy, what’s that, there appearances now, that’s amazing, what are the odds?”

Anne Marie – that’s precisely what the BBC want to happen. Job done. Don’t be fooled into thinking that was a representative audience. People should just ignore that programme, watch their ratings plummet.

Previous post should have been “three appearances”, obviously.

It’s been said a thousand times in threads on this blog – now at the age of 75 i’ve finally and reluctantly come to the conclusion not that the BBC is just a propaganda agency but that it is the enemy of Scotland and it’s people. The are working for a state that does not want a Scotland that improves life for the ordinary folk here or plan a better life for our descendants.Keep us down, ridicule us by broadcasting our bigots to the world and keep us subsidizing England’s inflated sense of importance – no problem with English folk my wife is from Birmingham – but their establishments from Westminster to sport stink of feelings of exclusivity and superiority. If only they could understand Rabbie’s words and see themselves as others see them they may not be in this mess with Europe. I believed in UK/Britian up until my mid-forties, now I despise everything about it. When are you going to win back punters in Scotland, Donalda. Don’t even try – it’s too late!!! Sorry about the rant folks – i’m, like many posters, really angry!

On the other hand a) the BBC would hardly dare use this cretin again and b) he came over as an ignorant yoon. We will never change the minds of those such as he, and he, in my opinion, has not the skill to alter the minds of the wavering voter.

Don’t pay the BBC any more money !

They obviously felt having him on twice to spout his pish was not
enough so they had to go the extra mile to get in our faces by Tweeting “the audience member’s” photo along with his low intellect political comment.

Have to agree with the comments that say that

if snp people are going to go on this

they have to be more clued up.

How hard would it be to turn to Fiona Bruce and congratulate her for carrying on the Dimbleby tradition of rigging the audience?

We’ve had a lot of laughs here at the expense of the poor-quality unionist politicians in Scotland.

Are we going to have to accept that the SNP – with a few exceptions – are no better?

The two of you (sometimes three) aren’t disguising your disruptive antics particularly well. You know who you are.

We see you.

BTW, for those considering NOT Paying the TV Lic

Yesterday the “visitation” failed again.

Thats the second appointment they have made and they have been a NO Show! I waited in ALL DAY again! Idle threats?

I appreciate holding off the authority is tricky but I have to maintain my sanity.

I was a wee bit miffed at John Nicholson on Twitter defending the program by saying they “aim for balance” but might not vett all audience members properly because they only have a smalll production team. ?

An example of an hypocrite is a person who claims to be concerned about the environment but goes around dropping litter.

Similarly, on Wings people who complain about spats who are not averse to having their own spats.

Scottish QT – let’s all apply, but say we are Tory voters

I can understand the delay for indyref2.

However, the UK State is not sitting still. With every day that passes before and after Brexit Day, they have been working to ensure legislative divergence and incompatibility with the EU / EEA EFTA to guarantee Scotland could not quickly rejoin.

They will continue their work to undermine Scotland’s economic and political strengths. Scottish economic and political sabotage will be prioritised. Priority will be given to bind Scotland ever more closer politically and economically to the UK state and weaken the economic arguments for independence.

If Scotland’s sovereignty is not exercised until Scotland votes YES, then it’s a certainty that the UK State will use all it powers to make a YES vote as unattractive as possible, not just during the campaign but during every day that passes until that vote.

The BBC is on full UK Union propaganda mode, dropping any pretence of impartiality long before any indyref campaign. Anti-indpendence, pro-Union propaganda will be pumped out from all outlets possible.

By the time the SNP feel they are prepared for an indyref battle, the war may already be lost.

Looking for anyone who applied for QT last night but was refused, who would be willing to be named in a complaint. I am sure I saw someone post yesterday on here, but can’t find the post now. Anyone ?

It proves if proof were needed that QT is as stage managed as any Russian or similar political show.

The BBC are not honest brokers of the news or discussion.

@ Alexicon

Thanks for the link – that’s the hardest of hard-evidence, if needed, of flat-out collusion that we’re likely to see.

“Every picture tells a story”, indeed.

Apologies for typos, on my phone in Uni lecture so having a bit of bother reviewing content. Can add more later if anyone has any specific questions about what it was like/stuff that happened.

“We see you” here in Scotland and in Ireland, north and south, too no doubt.

We see that the BBC has been doing a wee bit of “editing” AGAIN. This time of the Mary-Lou McDonald speech. Note no mention of them planning to crash out of the UK. Don’t want to upset the good folks of Engerland now do we? Give the Scots ideas?

Phantom Power giving the BBC a right showing up! Does anyone have any idea of how many people are actually involved in running Phantom Power?

The Declaration of Arbroath was dated 6th April 1320.

As you know, the calendar has altered by 11 or 12 days since then.

Will the celebrations at Arbroath be on 6th or 16th/17th April? I had a quick look on Google but couldn’t see any actual date given. Do you know?

Roll on independence and the day when we hold these corrupt and criminal liars to account in a court of law. Some prison time for the worst offenders might give them the opportunity to reflect on what they have done. To quote Donald Tusk there is a place in hell awaiting them. No mercy.

O/t but SRT of relevant as it concerns the news where you are.

Ross Thomson denies all. A big boy done it and run away.

From BBC website Scotland shire.

“”A Scottish Conservative MP has described allegations about his behaviour in a House of Commons bar as “completely false”.

Ross Thomson was said to have been spoken to by police on Tuesday night after a report of “sexual touching”.

In a statement released on Twitter, Mr Thomson said no complaint had been made to his party, the police or parliament.

But he said he had now referred himself to the Conservative Party’s disciplinary panel.

The Aberdeen South MP said he had done so “in the interests of openness and transparency”.

His statement added: “A series of serious allegations have been made against me that have featured in the media.

“I would like to state that these allegations from anonymous sources are completely false.”

‘Very distressing time’
He said the past few days had been “a very distressing time for me and my family”, but stressed that he intends to be “back at work on Monday”.””
