  1. I haven't paid the English TV Tax in years. But then I dont watch the Anti Scottish English Brainwashing Corporation at all. I haven't paid that English Tax since 2014 when they told us we were too poor and too wee and too whatever to be Independent.

    1. I'm so disappointed in you, Factola. I took a day trip to Orkney two years ago, and I got the bus from Stromness to Skara Brae. There were shelters and everything. Do you mean to tell us you haven't been giving us REAL facts? Dismaying.

    2. Oh no! And I thought I was being so convincing.

    3. Factola at 4.56 pm ... the only thing you have convinced anyone of is that you are completely doolally.

  3. If they turn up at your door tell them to feck off. They have no legal right of entry.

  4. I have to say just read The Herald. How a paper has fallen from his heady days of genuinely good journalism even although I never always agreed with their views. Through the trails of The 1970’s and 80’s, the 1st devolution bill fixed against a YES vote until the 2nd time around. The settled will has saw the paper move against the majority of Scots and is now really just a Tory/reform/ labour mouthpiece but without the journalism standards it once had.

    1. It's a shame. I used to be the Scotsman every day until it was bought by owners who trashed it. I moved over to the Herald and stopped buying it when it decided to trash itself. I haven't bought a daily paper for al.ost 20 years. It must be great to live e in a country where the newspapers employ journalists.

    2. Then there's the Hootsmon, which has been on the decline ever since Andrew Neil was appointed editor.

    4. There's no such thing as the Scottish Daily Mail, there's only the English Daily Mail owned by England and labeled Scottish for thick people who'll believe anything

  5. Have you ever heard of a guy called Craig Houston ? He's a supporter of Restore UK (who've invited Tommy Robinson to join them) and right wing nutcase. He went down to England to tell Restore fuhrer Rupert Lowe that Scotland disnae exist, that the only thing that separates the Scots (and the Irish and Welsh) from the English is accents! Where do you start with dingbats like that ?

    1. It’s the UK now. England doesn’t exist either. Scotland will be a nation again once we are independent. Sad but true

  6. What's the job description of every newspaper? answer: to sell more newspapers and influence the public.
    The end.

  7. The fact is such individuals believe this is the way for fame but don’t have the comprehension that unless a millionaire they don’t care about the proletariat.

  8. I hadn't heard of this latest crackpot and I guess "Craig Houston" is a stage name like "Tommy Robinson" is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's. I wonder what "Craig Houston"'s real name is - maybe the Sir Ambrose Piffingley-Whinge or Miss Dorothea Gigglemore or maybe even Colonel Marmaduke Ffrench-Vansittart. Any ideas?

    1. Perhaps our old sparring partner Cordelia Bracely-Dubois.
