Four polls have suggested a significant rise in support for independence. The latest from YouGov has ‘yes’ at 53% and ‘no’ at 47%. The YouGov survey of 1,090 recorded a lead for Scottish independence. This followed the three previous polls by Redfield & Wilton Strategies, Ipsos and Find Out Now.

TAKE A BOW Ms STURGEON!
Dunfermline was the place to be yesterday if you wanted to show your subservience to the new King Charles. No, not a new breed of dog. King Charles 111. The King and Queen (of some sort) travelled to Fife to formally confer city status on the town. Offering the warmest of congratulations. King Charles spoke … Continue reading TAKE A BOW Ms STURGEON!

Free by Twenty-Three!
When I set up my blog after the 2014 referendum, I felt the ‘free by twenty-three tagline was fitting as I believed it would take until then to recover from the disappointment of Thursday 18th September, not once did it cross my mind that those, we put in power to help us achieve this would … Continue reading Free by Twenty-Three!
Bypassing Holyrood!
I remember back in March 2018 a great many of us encircled Holyrood, well when you could protest outside, before our great leader decided she did not like being booed and promptly put a stop to the people of Scotland being able to protest outside the very parliament we paid for. Such a great day … Continue reading Bypassing Holyrood!
Was she chewing a wasp?
If you caught First Minister’s questions you will have no doubt saw the outrageous behaviour of Tess White. White seems to be under the assumption that people in Scotland are all anti English. The Conservative and Unionist LIST MSP thought it was perfectly okay to heckle Nicola Sturgeon as she was answering a question from … Continue reading Was she chewing a wasp?
If wee Johnny puts on a dress in nursery, he’s playing dress up!
There is a time and place for discussions on gender identification, however, those discussions should be kept out of nursery. As previously stated, I believe that people can be born in the wrong body and should be able to change if they so wish. That said, bringing it into primary is concerning enough but nursery? … Continue reading If wee Johnny puts on a dress in nursery, he’s playing dress up!
The Piper Paid – Time to pay back, big time!
There is something desperate about the First Minister’s invitation to the Prime Minister. Instead of summoning Johnson to Bute House to discuss the several mandates given to her by the people in regard to holding a referendum on Scottish Independence, Sturgeon almost begs him to stop by. I would love to be a fly on … Continue reading The Piper Paid – Time to pay back, big time!
Betrayal they will conclude!
Scotland, my Scotland, what have you become? You were once a beacon of light for those who need it, a glimmer of hope, for those who seek it. Now my Scotland, a frail old man is judged harshly while another is let go with a slap. Oh, my Scotland, how I weep. History will not be kind to … Continue reading Betrayal they will conclude!
I hope they are as embarrassed as I am for them!
Are we any nearer to independence? I mean it’s been what? Two months since Sturgeon are her minions re-entered Holyrood. Can anyone tell me what they have been doing in that time? I know Sturgeon has been doing her updates, although not daily thank the lord. But what other things have the SNP been getting … Continue reading I hope they are as embarrassed as I am for them!
