Good point well made.

Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️ The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Actually a remarkable achievement.

Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Maybe this post might encourage you to sign the stop #Palantir petition bsky.app/profile/rbre... Palantir has access to NHS and UK Defence Data - does that not worry you?

LOLZ

My latest blog piece. While we cannot directly address the case of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor who has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, this story goes to the very heart of the corruption which pervades the Westminster system weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/19/c...

Sharia law does not have legal jurisdiction in Scotland. Scots civil and criminal law apply to everyone. So what is the single Sharia council here actually doing, and who uses it? Our De-noiser breaks it down https://www.theferret.scot/does-sharia-law-have-an-influence-in-scotland/

My latest blog piece, a look at how UK Government energy policy is financially penalising Scottish energy producers and consumers in order to subsidise the south of England, and contaminating Scotland with radioactive waste. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/w...

Scotland has the energy, we just need the power. #ScottishIndependence

37 Labour in Scotland MPs in London. 20 months. Some record. Grangemouth, Mossmorran gone. Orbex going. Acorn carbon capture in limbo. Fishing areas short changed. WASPIs conned. Meanwhile billions into English steel. carbon capture and fishing communities. What are they for?

Absolutely Katie, In all 6 HR elections I voted SNP 1&2 In every one of these elections my second vote went straight in the bin, and I effectively helped elect a unionist MSP 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’ll NEVER make that mistake again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 For Indy I’ll be voting : (1) SNP candidate (2) Scottish Greens 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Despite its freshly polished nameplate Scottish Labour is still a branch office. Maybe different if Sarwar had completed his Starmer attack & announced a new Scottish party that dares to back indy/indyref2. But two tribes have gone to war & there are no winners www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

Labour sleaze and its dangerous association with Palantir weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/l...

Aye.

My latest blog piece, Starmer and Sarwar, the Tweedledum and Tweedledumber of political arrogance, together they've destroyed the Labour party in Scotland. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/s...

Isn't Capitalism great?

We produce oil have no refinery. We produce electricity but make no money from it. We have ports but cannot trade from them. Would it be because we let another Country dictate the rules? Time for Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#SuperbOwl is trending, so here is some Artful Owl: Said Owl, "The rest of us hold back. There's only one that he'll attack." Said Timid Toad, "I like your plan." "Good luck," said Owl, "For you're the man!" ~ Captain Beaky

Wonderfully succinct.

A Labour MP remarks: "Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history ... He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He is a moral gravity-well from which neither decency, honesty or integrity can escape. A genuine disaster for this country and the Labour movement.”

This 💯%

Gary Robertson has tried to link Celtic FC to the Epstein/Mandelson scandal. Why try to smear a Scottish football club instead of asking about Anas Sarwar's admitted long term friendship with the disgraced Labour peer? Shocking from the BBC Scotland presenter. 👇 www.facebook.com/share/v/1BwD...

It's not just Mandelson McSweeney got wrong, he was also responsible for the disastrous policy of appeasing the hard right on immigration. But Starmer was his boss, he doesn't get to walk away with clean hands after throwing his minions under the bus.

My latest blog piece. There are Scottish politicians who need to answer uncomfortable questions about Peter Mandelson and his quarter century of sleaze in public office, John Swinney is not one of them. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/i...

LOLZ

The politician's favourite filler line: 'LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT THIS.'

No YouGov, support for Scottish indy is not as low as 47%. YouGov's polls on indy are comfort blankets for Unionists. Here's why. This is a much expanded and revised version of a piece I wrote for @scotnational.bsky.social earlier this week weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/06/y...

@itvx.com never, ever show adverts during live play in anything ever. #6nations

Questions need to be asked of the Scottish Labour Hamilton and Rutherglen Constituency Party. 1. What did they know about Mandelson when he as good as ran the campaign directing members actions? 2. What is the relationship between Michael Shanks MP and Mandelson and what contact have they had?

My latest blog piece, Peter Mandelson's long history of sleaze is very on brand for Starmer's Labour party. Labour, Tory, or Reform UK, British politics is mired in sleaze and in hock to the rich. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/m...

Mandelson and the Media bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/04/m...

BBC Scotland has never in its history, been as conspiratorially biased in favour of the Union as it is now. It is worse now than in the run up to the 2014 referendum. It now no more than a dedicated and fully committed Unionist propaganda channel. (RT if you agree.)

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25

Last year in Zambia, I saw KidsOR (Kids Operating Room) deliver life-saving surgery and oxygen facilities. Today in Dundee, I met the team that assembles paediatric operating theatres for children in Gaza. Proud that Scotland is playing our part, and we will continue doing all we can.
