    Gronnuck...you have to have faith. Dominic Cummings know what he is doing! Take heart from the fact neither of us has packed our bags and heading south. We know it will all continue to be fine.

    Yes but..., no but..., we've had little encouragement from the tory party over the last ten years. What positive things can we expect from their majority administration now?

    I think we are all still waiting for any BritNat on this forum to provide any sort of evidence that things "will continue to be fine". Even taking IndyRef2 out of the equation it would be interesting to hear any justification for that quote. What do you know that the rest of us don't?

    Yup - In the last 300 or so years, we have been in the UK. Its only more recently that things have been less than ideal. Perhaps co-incidentally its also only (relatively) recently that we joined the EU and have witness the rise of Scottish Nationalism.

    You do realise this is all about timing and temper tantrums?


    This whole issue is about not getting his own way. The Rev Stu wanted to start a second Independence Party in Scotland, to back up the SNP, and Nicola didn't agree with him, but, you are not allowed to disagree with him. He doesn't like it. So, knowing the usual dummy throwing brigade were wanting Nicola to call UDI in her speech on Friday, and knowing this was not going to happen, he prepared this article to coincide with all the disappointment.....and Hey Presto, an orchestrated reaction. This is not an implosion though, much as you would love that, it will disappear once they have all settled back down. (as they always do) If Nicola contacted him tomorrow and said she now backed his plans, an entirely different article would suddenly appear.


    Now, Pete Wishart has caused real anger among the troops, and I don't blame them.

    That then just highlights how out of touch "the troops" are with Scotland. BASC here is being portrayed as a gang of wildlife criminals, when nothing could be further from the truth. I guess "the troops" don't even realise the C stands for Conservation. But then again, they have probably realised that the B stands for British, and on that grounds alone, it must be despised.....

    No, it just highlight how out of touch Pete Wishart and BASC is with the mood in Scotland, as he found out today. As far as I'm concerned BASC are a gang of wildlife criminals, with all the wildlife they destroy, just to keep conditions perfect for the birds they rear for the sole purpose of shooting them. The "C" may stand for Conservation, but Conservation of what? A way of life for the gun brigade? The word British has nothing to do with it. It's all about Blood Sports and the fun they have killing things.

    Aye, the "S" stands for shooting. How can you shoot things to conserve them? Also, rather worrying that John Swinney was there. I'd thought better of both of them.

    I see another correspondent is claiming that the EU is to blame for the rise of Scottish Nationalism. Is there nothing he won't blame the EU for? The 300+ years of colonial rule from Westminster have nothing to do with it, of course.

    You had better go and complain to the police about what RSPB and SNH are doing in Orkney then under the guise of conservation;

    https://www.nature.scot/professional...ldlife-project

    They are using lethal traps to intentionally trap and kill all stoats on Orkney. No chance of non lethal traps being used to make live captures, with releases in Scotland - Nope, the RSPB and SNH are out to kill. In your book then, they too are just out for the fun of killing stoats?

    Only just read the comments section. I hadn't thought about Blackford and his troops seduced by Westminster and the pay packet, but it makes sense!

    As always, it's the plebs who have to change their ways, not the 'elite'.

    Please don't tell me you want to get into a, "your hypocrites are worse than our hypocrites" discussion! That is not an argument any of us can win. Being a hypocrite seems to be part of the person specification for any aspirant parliamentarians regardless of party.

    I happen to think that all of them right now are behaving well in incredibly difficult circumstances and also, they are all (I mean in the different governments) now pulling together and trying to do their best. This is what I've longed for but a shame it took this crisis to knock their collective heads together to bring it about. What we face now is above politics and involves all of us as human beings.

    Wow! It'll go some then! Should be good for a ton 90 with all that fuel aboard.
