Last month, Andrew "Lord Brillo" Neil feared a "return to the bad old days of Tartan Army football hooliganism" and had a "nagging feeling in the back of my head... something could trigger it all going badly wrong". Let's see what Boston's Channel 10 has to say about that:

Well, over a century ago the Norwegian Parliament declared the union between Norway and its larger neighbour Sweden dissolved. Norway then went on to become one of the wealthiest nations in the world and a country that absolutely prioritises the well-being of its citizens. So I'd say - hell, yes.

Number 10 North, eh?

I think it's fair to say that it's unlikely aliens will travel 100 billion light years to Earth and decide that the first thing they want to do is watch Scotland play football. bsky.app/profile/glub...

Ten years ago today, England voted to remove Scotland from the EU. 96% of Scotland's MPs had requested that all UK nations should agree before #Brexit was carried. The Tories, with 1 Scottish MP, overruled this request. Brexit was a UK vote because England decided it would be.

So that'll be seven UK Prime Ministers in ten years. What happened to the "strong and stable government" we were all promised? I suppose promising us a decade of continual bin fires wouldn't have had the same ring to it. Time to go, Scotland.

Anyone who's even just visited London for a weekend must know that this is the most unutterable bollocks.

Good lads, those Croatians. #JustSaying

Andrew Neil has a 'nagging feeling in the back of my head... something could trigger it all going badly wrong' What an utter tit that man is. Just can't bear to think of Scotland and Scottish folk doing well.

Clean energy projects in Scotland are set to pay £1 billion to use the UK’s electricity network while projects south of the border will be paid to connect. First they fuck us over then they charge us a billion quid for the privilege. www.thenational.scot/news/2617285...

The reason why a bunch of Scottish football fans have had their US travel visas cancelled becomes clear.

Clearly, Scotland is being fucked. I mean that word in the vulgar sense of "misused to give satisfaction or advantage to another." The area covered by this development will be 51 times the size of Iona. A mock-up of the view from Iona should it go ahead: www.scottishbeacon.com/news/opinion...

"Scottish" Labour campaign: "We need independence from London. They're making disastrous decisions, don't pay any attention to our requirements and their values don't align with those of the Scottish electorate." Scotland: "You fucking what?" www.thenational.scot/news/2617440...

What was the case in South Africa is also the case in today's Scotland: there can be no reconciliation without truth.

People are living in cardboard boxes, but at least the King's hat has its own coach, escorted by six household cavalry officers, like something out of a second-rate children's fantasy novel. This is supposed to be the 21st century. The UK is beyond parody. www.dailymotion.com/video/xa9l5og

Indeed.

I see they've brought Gordon Brown out of retirement to dance on a ball like an old, abused circus bear. Again.

We already know Westminster will refuse any direct Section 30 request despite yesterday's results, so here's a modest proposal: The SNP should hold a referendum with the question being: "Should the Scottish Parliament have the legal right to hold an independence referendum?"

What's clear from today's election results is that three of the four constituent nations of the so-called United Kingdom have now elected political parties whose primary raison d'être is to bring an end to the United Kingdom. Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.

I see the "Scottish" Daily Express is taking the election results well.

The BBC appears to be running a story about a petrol station not running out of petrol. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From the so-called "Scotsman" so-called "newspaper". What the - and I cannot stress this strongly enough - actual fuck? www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Using pejorative attack language from political opponents as a news headline is absolutely not impartial public service broadcasting. They're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the SNP a few days before polling. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The only reason Westminster granted a section 30 order and referendum in 2014 was because, in their ignorance and arrogance, they were utterly convinced they would win, and win easily. The result scared the crap out of them. We won’t be "allowed" another.

Worth a read to remind yourself of the oleaginous Offord's extreme right-wing views and the dark money which enabled his political career. I don't really care how much money or how many yachts he has. I care that he proves UK democracy is for sale. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2021/10/03/b...

Who wore it best?

If he's only got five cars, how does he get from his sixth house to his sixth yacht?

Offord probably shouldn't have relied on advice from Andrew Windsor's PR agency.

Still the most iconic Scottish weather picture, in my humble opinion.

A quote from Tom Johnston's book, "Our Scots Noble Families". It was first published in 1909 and caused a sensation. He later became wartime Secretary of State for Scotland and first chairman of the North of Scotland Hydro Board.

This story's currently being covered by The Times, Financial Times, The Guardian, The Herald, The Telegraph, Daily Express, The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Record, The Scotsman, The National, and many others. BBC Scotland? Not a peep. Radio silence. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The new goal of Trump's Iran War appears to be opening the Straight of Hormuz, which was open before the start of Trump's Iran War.

The Iran war is such a clusterfuck Trump may need to release the Epstein files as a distraction.

There's a small minority in Scotland (History Woman, Effie Deans, AgentP and their chums) who'll be wetting themselves at this prospect. Scotland back in its box and then bled dry. Independence is imperative. www.thenational.scot/news/2595106...

I'm not a Green voter but well said, @zackpolanski.bsky.social. About time we had a politician in the UK with the courage to articulate this fundamental, undeniable truth. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Thanks to BBC Wales for reporting this. I'm sure BBC Scotland will also be all over it haha. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
