ReplyDelete"New exhibition to challenge perceptions of Mary Queen of Scots"
It's good, about fashion mostly, but much more needs to be done to correct the history as falsified by the victor. Even that article says: "and was executed on February 8, 1587, after 19 years as a prisoner of her cousin, Elizabeth I of England"
No, she wasn''t executed, she was murdered, and brutally so as well. How could she be "executed" for treason to England, when she had been Queen of Scots?
Slowly Scots history gets corrected, but very slowly and timidly. I was at Lochleven Castle recently and it's such a sad place (even though Bruce used it as his Treasury), but all Scots should go visit. Same as Inchnahome though that's got a good restful atmosphere.
Historic Environment Scotland is having trouble at the top, but the normal people are great. Join and help preserve Scotland's history.
I'm not sure "executed" is the wrong terminology for someone who was in England for decades and subject to the jurisdiction of the Queen of England. I take much more exception to the recent description of William Wallace as a "Scottish rebel". He wasn't a rebel against the English King, he was in fact himself Guardian of Scotland - the de facto head of state of a sovereign country, and thus Edward I's direct counterpart.
DeleteWell said James and yesindyref2.
DeleteFREEDOM!
DeleteYes I agree about Wallace (who wasn't betrayed by Robert the Bruce in real life of course). But Mary was a prisoner of Elizabeth the moment she set foot in England. And in Lochleven Castle she miscarried twins, something many accounts don't mention for some odd reason, but some others claim she was raped by Bothwell after turning down marriage to him, and was virtually forced to marry him, to her doom.
DeleteIt suits the Union better to consider her guilty of adultery and "Treason". After the Jacobite '45 (and before), Scotland's records were burnt wholesale, and history rewritten to prevent any chance of a similar scare.
There were many victims of character assassination, another being to my chagrin, Bobbin' John who I wronged for years. History is only just being corrected, piece by piece. And it still happens - look what the Unionists claim about a "generation", whereas Salmond actually said "once-in-a-generation opportunity".
On the same theme, a much better article from WGD than his usual:
ReplyDeletehttps://weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/09/30/burnhams-crude-emotional-manipulation-reveals-the-poverty-of-westminsters-case/
Didn't WGD ban you for being a nuisance and a troublemaker, and all the other posters complained about you acting like you thought you were more clever than anybody else?
DeleteThe same as you do on here.
YIR2 is marginally more clever than IFSY.
DeleteNeither is in the same league as Skier, the guy is a psychopathic genius.

ReplyDeleteAs for the anon trolls who just post infantile abuse they are beneath contempt and are basically cowards.
Still using the coward patter IFSy? It just makes you look a bit of a prat.
DeleteIFSY posts as an anon. He has admitted to doing so. Does that mean he is a coward as well? Oooops. You didn't think this through IFSY. You are a silly Billy coward.
DeleteBut you are anonymous Mr Scotland, is Independence actually your first name?
DeleteAway and raffle kid, you're a Tory troll and most people know it
6.34 6.36 7.43 all posted by anon cowards.
DeleteSome Anons make interesting comments. The above lot, can't. If they had half a brain cell it would be lonely.
DeleteQuite incredible there are still some people prattling on about another independence referendum. These people don’t seem to understand that the majority of the country are sick fed up listening to and reading about this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIf this is how you like to spend your time, I pity you, maybe you could branch out and go on a construction forum and post that it's quite incredible some people are still prattling on about building things, in fact, the possibilities are endless if you think about it.
DeleteThe anonymous fool @4:39 probably thinks Scotland will be independent before the turn of the next century!
DeleteIFS, Don't you say IR" spends his time playing with boats in his bathtub most of the time.

DeleteYes he probably still does but he posts his opinions and is not a one line anon posting abuse. Read my post again I said I don’t agree with him on everything but he ain’t one of these anon cowards.
More drivel from IFSY the self confessed coward. What are your thoughts on the EFTA possibility IFSY? Cue long silence.
DeleteAnon at 11:15 AM
DeleteWhat are your thoughts on EFTA, the EU or even Independence itself you cowardly anonymous IFS-obsessed empty-brained parasitic plonker?
You can't trust Burnham, we need Gass'em instead. Come on Nige
ReplyDelete.... many excellent points, James, and well presented ..... but clarify this for me if you can.
ReplyDeleteYou state that Burnham might attempt to re-enter Europe not by applying for Full Membership, too Electorally risky and would probably be "Black Balled" by at least some of the 27 Members .... but through association in EFTA.
However if I understand the Rules for Application to join this group, the EFTA Members have to AGREE to this application .... and given the UK's track record I'd find that a stretch !!!
Do you have any clarification on this subject ?
You are right to question this option. And there are several countries who would see the size of the U K economy as a risk to them if the U K were admitted.
DeleteI agree with this assessment and believe it demonstrates that Nicola Sturgeon’s leadership deserves praise.
ReplyDeleteHer case for Scotland’s right to determine its own future remains, in my view, the canonical standard against which every other pro-independence politician should be measured up.
It was a core tenet of Nicola Sturgeon's that, if reconsidering the European Union referendum is acceptable because circumstances have changed, then reconsidering the independence referendum must be equally legitimate.
This concept was fully implicit in the analysis she put forward into the public domain in the independence space.
Any contrary position requires an explanation that goes beyond convenience for Westminster.
Nicola Sturgeon understood this democratic principle with a consistency that her opponents of today have failed to acknowledge or match, and with a flair for communication that remains without parallel.
I remain wholeheartedly supportive of her contribution and regard her presentation of the case for Scottish self-government as the most persuasive of all the alternative arguments that have been put forward along that dimension.
The SNP should continue defending this position and James is right in his implicit exhortation that John Swinney is to be encouraged to do so.
The previous referendum result was valid, but it cannot reasonably constitute a permanent prohibition on further democratic choice.
Scotland deserves another opportunity, post haste, and Nicola Sturgeon deserves recognition for insisting upon and pressing forward that fundamental democratic right during her tenure as SNP leader.
Are you on Yoon Drugs?
Delete"Are you on Yoon Drugs?" -- a childish post. Either grow up, or take yourself to the kindergarten.
DeleteYou really shouldn't broadcast your stupidity on a public forum like this.
Delete5.21 - excellent well-thought-through post. Agree 100 percent.
DeleteCsn A I not be filtered out?
DeleteHe is showing his true anti Scottish Bigotry.
ReplyDeleteBurnham is no more trustworthy than Starmer or Farage and just like those two Zionist stooges, still denies the Gaza genocide by Israel.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sheer hatred and loathing by him and most yoonionists of THE most universal constitutional state on Planet Earth - Independence - is truly astounding to behold.
As most unionists consistently moan about 'the cost' of 'subsidising' Scotland within this sham of a so-called Equal Union, there is only one logical reason for not removing that 'cost' by letting Scotland go and it is that that whole premise is based on a tissue of WM lies designed to hide the fact that it is England which cannot survive without Scotland and her resources, not the other way round.
It is fear of that fact which drives all unionist PMs after Cameron allowed Indyref which scared them shitless in the last few days before the vote and which caused the barrowload of lies and fearmongering (admitted by Better Together bosses afterwards) to swing that vote in their favour.
I agree that refusal of the English to respect Scotland’s right to choose exposes the hollowness of their commitment to equal union.
DeleteThe English have dismissed Scotland’s democratic wishes whenever they become inconvenient.
If the English sincerely believe Scotland is an intolerable financial burden, their determination to prevent independence deserves serious scrutiny.
Scots should reject the assumption that the English knows best and demand an honest debate about resources, sovereignty and accountability.
English politicians like Burnham, Starmer and Farage deserve criticism as their positions are unhelpful in the independence context.
Scotland’s future should belong to Scotland’s voters, without permission of the English!
5.38 and 5.53 correct. There never really was a union of any description. It was and still is a forced marriage maintained by abuse and threats.
DeleteUsual bull from Ifs. Agreeing with a couple of clowns🤡🤡
DeleteDear oh dear!
Aye we ken this but wtf are we going to do about it. Whinging from the sidelines is no cutting it. So bloody depressing
ReplyDeleteCouldn’t agree more. It’s action that’s required.
DeleteAnon at 5.53
DeleteVery good points, well made.
I can actually understand the English position in all this.
Since the Act of Union, English people have continuously been told that not only the 'smaller' nations of the UK could only survive with the support of WM/England to prop them up - indeed every single colony of the British Empire were consistently fed the same lie until they all broke away and found that they could be successful independent countries in their own right.
Those ex-colonies have now fully recognised that WM lie for what it was, but unfortunately there are still far too many living in Scotland who not only completely ignore WM's history of lies and deception (the 30yr burying of 'secret McCrone Report being a relatively recent example) but actively play along with it.
For those folk I have nothing but utter contempt.
A few years ago, there was an extremely comprehensive report published which stated that WM/UK Govt had deliberately asset-stripped India of approx £14 Trillion over its period of colonisation, whilst simultaneously convincing the Indians that they could not survive with the support of the benevolant UK.
Lie after lie after lie spouted from London.
WM has turned its asset-stripping eye to Scotland over the last 5 decades or so and will keep doing exactly that until we break away from it for good.
It is a business model which has always worked for the UK Govt and they see no reason to change it.
Thankfully, our younger generations in Scotland have now wised-up to WM' bag of tricks which explains the pretty consisten Yes-majority recent polls.
Remember Gove's secret Scottish Polls which have never been released?
WM already knows they will lose another Indyref.
All they can do is stall the inevitable.
7:54pm,
DeleteWhat drivel!
You are completely deluded!
Incoming referendum soon. To abolish Holyrood
ReplyDeleteLike Brit nats in Ireland wanting Stormont to collapse. Strange when the Celtic leaders get together they are told by England you can’t have referendums yet labour is now flying a Brexit referendum. Divide and rule.
DeleteI suspect Anon 6.42 is posting from Somerset.
DeleteWhy? Surely it would make more sense to close the UK consulate aka the Scotland Office. Perhaps you think the Scots are incapable of governing their own country ?
ReplyDeleteNopes on the contrary I know we can run our own country. Just that the petition to hold a referendum to abolish Holyrood has passed the threshold for the wasters in westminster to hold a debate about it. Wonder if they will
ReplyDeleteYou know we can run our country yet you want the Scottish Parliament closed down? How is Scotland to be governed then? From Queen Elizabeth House ?
DeleteI don’t want Holyrood closed. What did I say to give you that idea
DeleteWonder how it would go, if there was a UK-Wide petition to close down Westminster?
ReplyDeletePretty sure it would get well over the threshold to get a Referendum on that premise.
The signatures would be well into the millions.
I agree.
DeleteWM consistently polls much lower than Holyrood, with its electorate.
Has done for many years.
Should have added -
Delete'in popularity'.
After minimum pricing on alcohol, we now have another political points scoring exercise by the SNP SG, or at least an attempt at points scoring. Certain products in supermarkets aren’t allowed to be displayed in prominent areas.
ReplyDeletePathetic!
SNP values are better than yours.
DeleteAgree with 12:04, it is pathetic.
DeleteAgree with Anon at 12.28 am
DeleteSNP values are always better than unionists'
Unionist values normally stink.
Britnats like to keep the Scots on alcohol and the children on chocolate and sugary drinks. Trying to change to a better way is a threat to the brit nationalists.

Anon at 11:27 AM
DeleteYes, but enough about Andy Burnham.
It’s pointless moaning about not getting a referendum on here and other such platforms. We need to be doing something positive. It’s action that’s required, not words.
ReplyDeleteThere’s not even large scale marches these days.
March? Like a aoub thing?
Deletenah.....a coffee morning,
DeleteSo we need to do something positive? A march is the best you can come up with up.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you got?
DeleteI wasn’t moaning.
DeleteIt dosen’t seem that long ago when there were regular independence marches and rallies organised, and thousands, if not tens of thousands turned up. Nowadays they’re few and far between, and when they do happen, it’s hundreds rather than thousands turn up.
DeleteIt’s almost as if a lot of people have given up on the cause.
So sad.
Arrant nonsense. Those marches were not important or a valid indicator.
DeleteBegging bowl out by WOS again for yet another doomed to fail court action. A Judicial Review, seen by those on the inside as the last resort of the desperate. More money for the legal profession. Campbell is good at throwing away other people's money. IFSY will be donating as we speak. Fools and money as they say.
ReplyDelete11.21 you seem to spend your time reading WOS.
DeleteAnyway a Judicial Review showed what Sturgeon and the rest of her lot were up to when Salmond won his case.
The absolute plonker David Francis who is anon at 11.21am has just helped advertise the crowdfunder he despises. What a numpty.
DeleteSturgeon along with Swinney promised indyref2 for many years and raised money on the back of that promise for a ring fenced fund. The SNP Treasurer claimed at one point it was “ woven “ into the accounts. Somebody at some point then spent the money ( see John Swinney for details). Sturgeon also got it declared illegal for the Scotgov to hold the referendum she/he/they/it had promised. This has all the hallmarks of a scam.
No referendum and no ring fenced indyref2 fund. David Francis thinks this is ok - he must be a Britnat.
IFS Nicola taking the referendum bill to the UK Supreme Court was the stratrgic move. Sturgeon asked the law before staging a vote Holyrood could not deliver. The court said consent was needed. That is clarity, not a planted scam. On the money she was arrested and then not charged. The embezzlement prosecution was not hers. Lets not forget her other achievements. Net zero by 2045 still sits five years ahead of England, and hate crime law still covers LGBTQI+ people better than in England. Swinney governs building up on that record.
DeleteAnon at 2.29. You must be a slow reader if it takes up so much of your time. Anyone who doesn’t keep up to date with what the enemies of the SNP and the Indy movement are doing is an idiot. That would be you. Glad to have clarified.
DeleteCome on IFSY. How much have you given WOS for their lawyers to piss up against a wall? Tell the truth now. The J R relating to A S exposed a fundamentally flawed system. Nothing to do with the issues you are getting into a hissy fit over now. But Campbell relies on your stupidity and has successfully monetised it. Well done. Ching ching for Stuey boy.
DeleteSturgeon had many years of promising indyref2. She could have told independence supporters during that period, or even before she first promised indyref2 after the 2016 EU referendum, she wisnae sure she had the power to hold indyref2. She lied for about 5 -6 years while collecting monies supposedly for a referendum. Where did this money go?
DeleteDavid Francis and all the other nicophantic anons cannot refute these facts so they post personal abuse instead.
Oh dear IFSY. Everyone except you knew that the hurdle presented by the Scotland Act. It didn’t have to be spelt out to anyone, except you. Try to get your wee brain round that and everything else will fall into place. Silly Billy IFSY.
DeleteStill no answer from David Francis at 1.19pm. Just nonsense deflection. Sturgeon promised indyref2 on multiple occasions but didnae say she couldnae deliver. When raising money she didnae say she couldnae deliver. That is fact. David is lying when he says everyone knew Sturgeon couldn’t deliver. Most people know zero about the Scotland act. David lying is nothing new though. David has that in with Sturgeon.
DeleteWhere is the indyref2 money David?
Ot/ are bbc staff including the weather folk been instructed to use different terms to describe Scotland. I have heard on the radio as well as TV increasing reference to Scotland as a devolved nation or northern U.K. or a U.K. region. It seems they are scared to refer to Scotland as Scotland!
ReplyDeleteWell, on Radio 4's Woman's Hour this morning, we had to be told that Glasgow is in Scotland. Why is Auntie Beeb so bloody awful?
DeleteMeanwhile Paris is aflame and some teachers and emergency personnel have been doused in petrol. Aye these far right extremists fairly get about. Nothing at all to do with diversity and Islam and mark my words this is coming to us too.
DeleteWhat nonsense!
DeleteReally?? Who told you that. BBC news. Over 3000 arrests and 330 police officers injured.
DeleteThe posts@11:26 and 11:41 are nonsense.
DeleteNothing at all to do with diversity and Islam and mark my words this is coming to us too.
DeleteIs the basis for your suggestion that this is about "diversity and Islam" just that France has a lot of Muslims?
Look what’s happening in front of our eyes, what do you think
DeleteThomas Kerr has entered the room.
DeleteAndy Blairham has better hair than John Swinney. No two questions about that. Which one is more believable? Mr Swinney delivering on his government promise of schoolbags......
ReplyDeleteJudging folk on their hair is not fair. Ask Trump.
DeleteJohn Swinney did not merely steady the SNP. He rescued it.
ReplyDeleteHe took a party that was coming apart, gave it a life again, and led it back as the largest force at Holyrood when plenty of people had already written the obituary.
That is the kind of leadership parties dream about and almost never get.
A net zero target of 2045, five years ahead of England. Equality kept in place, including hate crime law that covers LGBTQI+ people.
The SNP are lucky to have him. SNP activists are united behind him.
this party has a future, John Swinney is the reason it does.
Anon at 10.38pm says
Delete: “ He took a party that was coming apart..” who led the party to cause this to happen -Sturgeon and Swinney.
Plenty of Brits on here these days, that's always a sign of panic from them, the Scots Welsh and Irish must be taken down, get our people on it right away, the press the TV and the internet trolls all working hard to make SNP Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru look bad to save England's lands and properties
ReplyDeleteDesperate stuff from a brainwashed fool, who’s unable to accept its game over for independence.
DeleteGet a grip for pity’s sake!
Desperate wee Englishman or transplant Orange man grafting for your always be an England now that England's skint broke and needs Scotland to pay its bills more than ever
DeleteWhy don't you people just start the shooting like you always do? because we're never going to stop
8:48,
DeletePathetic, bordering on pitiful.
People like you are an embarrassment to Scotland and decent Scots.
Is the yoonionist 'Scottish Cringe' inherited or just performative?
DeleteMy guess is a mixture of both.
Yoonionists are born with the need to always defer to England and its Parliament in WM, to always defer to the 'proper' English language spoken with received pronunciation, to always defer to the imperial pomp of the Royal Family and House of Lords, to always defer to Oxbridge education and to always defer to what English politicians state as facts.
They consider all the above as proof that England is always better than Scotland right across the board.
And they also feel the need to performatively spout that belief at every given opportunity.
Sad wee subservients.
9:42am,
DeleteYou are a sad individual.
You had your referendum in 2014 and the country gave a resounding NO. Get over it and move on you fool.
Stick yer independence where the sun disnae shine.

Deleteinshallah
Aye and it’s happening right now. Look at France and could easily spread to the rest of Europe. Islam the religion of peace and love will see that christians will keep their place in society. Be afraid very afraid
DeleteIt is Christians who have caused all the wars in the last century and are still doing the same in this new century.
DeleteChristians have inflicted more death destruction and misery in this world, than any other religion.
Christianity has become - and probably always was right back to the Crusades - the biggest warmonger on the planet.
Piss off back to Sudan or Pakistan if you’re not happy here or if you want Sharia law because like it or lump it we are a Christian country.
DeleteI was born in Scotland, you cretin.
DeleteAnd what I said was historically accurate, although that will not matter to a knucke dragging racist moron like you.
We are a secular country. Happy to help
DeleteI want independence but what is the current SNP vision of an independent Scotland. If it’s multi culturism , mass immigration to the detriment of us Scots, taxed to the hilt to pay for a benefit system thats on the point of collapse and wanting to rejoin the failing Eurozone then it’s not for me. After saying that, after independence we then vote for the party that suits us and our needs and it won’t be the current SNP for me
ReplyDelete"wanting to rejoin the failing Eurozone then it’s not for me"
DeleteSince you seem to be under the impression that Scotland used to be in the eurozone maybe we shouldn't be looking to you to prescribe how society should be.
Thankfully, what you want ain't gonna happen in an Independent Scotland, because most Scots do not agree with your warped opinions.

DeleteJust to be fully accurate.
Still very consistent leads for Yes.
Great stuff. Over to you John
DeleteHow many of these polls were conducted by Find Out Now for the National though?
DeleteLet’s be brutally honest here, we can’t take these polls seriously.
Why should we as nobody else does apart from the usual eejits.
DeleteLol.
DeleteTypical Yoon responses.
Check for yourselves.
All polls conducted by fully registered British Polling companies, almost exclusively based in England.
Enjoy your weekends.
If you check Wikipedia, there are 8 polls showing No leads this year(by up to 10%).
DeleteI will stick with Britain's pre-eminent psephologist, ta.
DeleteThe last Find Out Now poll for the National gave Yes a mere 3 point lead. Incredibly nationalists get excited by this, and try to claim independence is the “settled will”.
DeleteBonkers or what?
Lol.
DeleteHow many percentage points was EURef decided by?
I reckon unless there’s major civil unrest regarding the independence question and not the Islamist invasion, Westminster won’t give a monkeys fart what any poll says about a yes lead as they and they alone have the power to ignore said polls. So what are the SNP going to do about that then.
ReplyDeleteIslamist invasion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteLook at France ect and most English cities including London and tell me hand on heart that there isn’t a problem with Islam. Doesn't grooming gangs and Sharia law ring a bell including the Islamist pilot 3 days ago who tried his utmost to crash an airliner full of Jewish people into the ground. Aye. No problem with Islam🤣🤣🤣🤣 get real
DeleteI have family who have lived in London for over 40yrs now and I will believe them way more that the obvious crap you have been swallowing.
DeleteAs for innocent airliners - remember this one:
'This was an international scheduled civiluan passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by two surface-to-air missiles fired by USS Vincennes, a United States Navy warship. The missiles hit the Iran Air aircraft, an Airbus A300, while it was flying its usual route over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, shortly after the flight departed its stopover location, Bandar Abbas International Airport.
All 290 people on board were killed, making it one of the deadliest airliner shootdowns of all time, the deadliest aviation incident involving an Airbus aircraft of any type.'
Christian violence once again.
1988??? Is that the best you can do ffs and you have family in London that doesn't see the change in demographics in 40 years. Aye right. You are an apologist for terrorism. Shame on you

ReplyDeleteWhat election did he win? Minority govt in Scotland and blown out the water in Westminster. Do you not want a resurgence of SNP? Happy just topping up Swinneys pension pot? We really are fecked with this type of muppetry, or are you A I?
DeleteHe won the only election which matters, the Scottish election and by doing so, he ensured the the SNP has been in power continuously for longer than any other political party in the history of the UK and, by next year, in the whole of Europe.
DeletePhenomenal achievement which seems to annoy all the right people on here and elsewhere.
Swinney is also the most popular Scottish politician with the public and regularly wipes the Holyrood floor with his tenth rate yoonionist rivals, particularly Offal.
No bad at all.

DeletePeople only vote for the SNPee because of this independence nonsense, not for their record in government for sure!
Anon at 5.08. He did not win the last Scottish election. He fell seven seats short of winning it. He declared, pre election, that only votes for the SNP counted and SNP fell seven seats short of winning. It is a matter of public record. Stop spreading disinformation.
Delete@6:45
DeleteYou're applying first-past-the-post conditions to a PR election. Outside of a FPTP context, there's no consensus that "winning" means getting a majority of seats. By your definition, no one has ever won a Holyrood election (except that one time) which is a wee bit silly

You pathetic excuse of a so-calked human being.
All true too my friend. But to be honest without being cold I’m more interested in Scotlands future. Just out of curiosity what is your solution between Isreal and Palestine because I haven’t a clue which would please both countries.
DeleteI want Scottish Independence as it is the global norm and a norm that no country ever wants to give up, but I also want to see no more genocides after the lessons of the second World War and I fear the rise of fascism once again creeping over the western world, led by Trump.
DeleteThis word fascism gets thrown about way too easy these days but I think the overton window is moving to the right somewhat. What some people see as fascism even more people see it as self preservation
DeleteThe Israeli journalist saying Ireland would be on the wrong side of history. Just unbelievable to be honest.
DeleteAye time will tell
DeleteWhen you hear the word genocide what’s the 1st thing to enter your head
Delete8.47 Rwanda
DeleteGenocide? For me by a long shot it’s against the Jewish people in the second world war.
Delete8 38.
DeleteNo.
It is sheer fascism led by a senile orange imbecile who tried to overturn a perfectly lawful election result he didn't like, banned any media he didn't like from the White House, take Billions of dollars in bribes and crypto scams, tried to dismantle any judiciary which crossed him, authorised the Fascist Scum of ICE to wantonly shoot dead any innocent American who got in their way, who attacked any country he felt like attacking, who threatened his nearest neighbours and started an unwinnable war which is slowly wrecking the global economy.
And he did all that between changing his shitty daipers
8.47.
DeleteGAZA.
Zionist Israel has now become the 21st century's Nazi State.
How ironic, pathetic and despicable.
It has no right to exist and the world would be a much better place if it didn't.
England are now second in their group after 3 games.
ReplyDeleteScotland will also be second in their group if they win handsomely against Macedonia tonight and, as expected, Switzerland beat Slovenia.
John Swinney took the SNP when it was in a mess and made it calm. He kept it the top group at Holyrood. He gets us to net zero five years in front of England. He works hard in the lgbtq space and kept hate crime law targeted on hate speech.
ReplyDeleteA good leader.
🤣🤣🤣 excellent stuff. ps can I laugh at that or does it fall foul of the hate speech agenda
Deleteno just shows you up as pathetic
DeleteYou can’t be sure these days though
DeleteCorrect. You never know where the thought police are lurking and I’m a member now of the free speech union and fingers crossed I never need to use them
ReplyDeleteUK Govt and BBC are still being cowed by the Thought Police.
ReplyDeleteThey still will not openly admit the Gaza Genocide.
Pathetic, weak and still in denial about what most of thd Planet already knows.
No UK PM is ever going to grant an independence referendum again.
ReplyDeleteCameron did it for the 2014 referendum, because he thought there was zero chance of a Yes vote. No PM is ever going to take that chance again, and risk becoming forever remembered as the person responsible for breaking up the UK.
That is basically where we are after the Supreme Court verdict.
John Swinney has put cash into police and a large justice budget while Scotland keeps more officers per head than England. On social security he has kept the child payment and help with bills. On infrastructure he has backed homes, rail and the A9 and A96.
ReplyDeleteThese things are lasting and will not quickly be forgotten.
Ffs he must have some size of a wallet plus don’t forget countless 1000s pounds in court cases fighting against the supreme court ruling into what a man and women are
Deleteis Farage uinwell? He seems to have gone missing recently. I wonder why?
ReplyDeleteHope he’s not got alphabettyities. Fatal that
DeleteThe Wingnuts and Albaists will send him get well cards and flowers.
DeleteLovely touch.
lol a furry with a sense if humour. How novel
DeleteNice to see Nigel's fanboys out and about so early on a Sunday.
DeleteYou do know that Campbell and Farage send each other Valentine Cards each year, don't you?
Are they an item?
DeleteAllegedly.
Delete11:02 it’s not illegal and that sort of thing is robustly encouraged amongst the hierarchy in the SNP and their furry friends the greens
ReplyDeleteGood to see you confim that relationship.
DeleteDid Nigel defrock wee Stewie, or was he too late?
Beats me as you seem to know more about them than I do. You’re not an Ukrainian fire starter, are you?
ReplyDeleteI see the Orange Order are still intent on marching in Portadown.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is the residents on the march route would be better just letting it go ahead, and have it over and done with, instead of dragging on.
The march has after all been given the go ahead by the authorities, and the demonstration and blocking the march is actually illegal.
