It's "Scot Goes Pop Night" over at Wings, as Stew lovingly archives and annotates *sixty-four* of the finest SGP blogposts of the last six years - join me on a trip down memory lane as we relive the highs, the lows, the triumphs, the setbacks, the laughter, the tears, the joy, the despair - and the renewed hope that Scotland will soon be an independent country

I very rarely link to Wings posts, but I'm compelled to make an exception tonight because I'm profoundly moved by this one.  In order to prove that he's not stalking me, Stew Campbell has run no fewer than *sixty-four* individual Scot Goes Pop blogposts through the archive.is site, thus helpfully ensuring those posts are now permanently there for posterity.  He has then linked to all sixty-four archived pages from a single bumper tribute article, and has even calculated the word count of each individual post, plus the combined word count for all sixty-four.  

All in all that shouldn't have taken him more than a few hours, and I must admit it's exactly what I would have done if I was trying to prove I wasn't stalking someone. This of course follows on from his previous efforts to show he wasn't stalking me by trying to bankrupt iScot magazine because he didn't like one of my columns in it, and by getting his solicitor David Halliday to send me legal threats at the dead of night because someone else was using the Scot Goes Pop comments section to claim that he blames the Hillsborough disaster on the victims themselves.  (It has to be said that's a claim a great many other people have made about him too, so it's just as well no-one in this world ever believes that there's no smoke without fire.)

I'm particularly thrilled that Stew has given an outing to some of the Random Totty From Freedom Square's digital art.  I always felt the binoculars were a touch of genius.  That's nothing to how sensational her proper paintings and drawings are, though - I've always told her she could be world-famous if she wants to be, and I'm not exaggerating.

Of course not everyone will follow Stew's links and read the sixty-four blogposts, but luckily he's provided the full titles of all sixty-four, and some of those are so long that they make the point just as effectively as the posts themselves.  My own personal favourites are - 

'Thousands mystified as blogger claims Yes vote has been flatlining on 52% for the last three years, only a week after he claimed it has been flatlining on 47% for the last six years'

'Campbell appears to want someone in Ohio to be executed, he also wants Kezia Dugdale to “die down a well”, and can anyone introduce me to his “fifty employees”?'

'Stuart Campbell blows his top as he confirms he is now a Tory voter: “I don’t give a s**** and you are all unf***able nutjobs”'

'Now Wings aspires to become death, the destroyer of independence. But he’s not Oppenheimer, he’s just a bog standard Pied Piper, and frankly it’s time to send him packing.'

'Stuart Campbell has not only turned against independence, he’s turned against the rights of women and girls. If anyone is crazy enough to follow his advice today, make sure you hold him accountable for the long-term consequences.'

Thank you, Stew, for bringing these important points to a (slightly) wider audience.

And yes, I'm very proud that the Total Politics Awards named Scot Goes Pop as one of the UK's top 50 left-wing blogs in 2011.  The great news is that if those awards are ever revived, Stew will be in contention in a different category, so there's no reason why we can't both do well.
