Jan 23, 2025 · Y’know, maybe we were a little harsh on the lads at Holyrood Sources yesterday when we implied that a more direct and aggressive interviewing style might have cut through John Swinney and Kate Forbes’ pathetically feeble waffling evasion on the SNP’s lack of an independence strategy in their recent podcast.. But the closest thing (along with Colin Mackay at STV) that the Scottish media ...

Jan 11, 2025 · NO EFFIN HOPE!! Swinney just confirmed that in his final remarks. Forbes is the latest ‘snake in the grass’ to pontificate. Her role in the FREEPORTS treachery in tandem with Gove should have set alarm bells ringing right across the country about the SNP’s ability to manage Scotland’s resources in the interests and long term benefit of Scots and Scotland!!

Dec 29, 2024 · Look, we know that mocking front pages on The National is low-hanging fruit, and this particular example could hardly be any more of a self-parody if it tried.. But just for the sheer mental exercise in that stone-dead last week of December when nobody even knows what day it is, let’s imagine if it came true.

Jan 7, 2025 · My problem with this suggested arrangement is the same as I have with the current one; that flat vote!

Oct 6, 2024 · Let’s hope the all at once happenings are soon. Snp with Swinney at the helm is incredibly close to falling over a cliff into oblivion. With Alba rising in local elections a big conclusion on SNP corruption would be a step forwards.

Nov 28, 2024 · The proceedings at the Supreme Court this week were a tough follow even if you could get the court’s abominably bad livestream to work. They’re all archived here now, but non-lawyers will probably glaze over quickly during the nine hours of intense legalese.. We’re not allowed to clip up any illustrative sections, on pain of possible contempt of court, so perhaps the best way to explain ...

Aug 27, 2024 · And reform came third. This week in yet another By-Election that the SNP have lost. According to Redfield and Wilton strategies – immigration is the third biggest concern for the good, honest hard working people of Scotland.

Nov 6, 2024 · So it looks like the USA has elected a mad orange rapist convicted of 34 felonies who could yet be in jail by the time of his inauguration. (He would remain President even if that happened, which would be really funny.) And we can’t even blame them for it, because the alternative they were offered was, remarkably and stupendously, worse.

Dec 31, 2024 · Ramsay Mac Donald in Socialism: critical and constructive, published in 1921, wrote: «The Anglification of Scotland has been proceeding apace to the damage of its education, its music, its literature, its genius, and the generation that is growing up under this influence is uprooted from its past». a voice from 100+ years ago worth mulling over in this «new year», especially by those who ...
