By any reasonable interpretation the quasi-military activities of far right groups in Scotland breach the 1936 Public Order Act which was introduced to curtail Oswald Moseley's Blackshirts. If no action is taken, these groups will only be emboldened. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/27/t...

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

🇬🇧 🏴 So it turns out that Andy Burnham is just another uber-unionist fundamentalist PM, who believes that it is for him to determine Scotland’s constitutional future, and NOT the people of Scotland 🏴 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🏴 Burnham also states that the (English) “PUBLIC ARE THE BOSSES” to decide on rejoining the EU
“The #BBC is singled out [in the UN report] as an example of how Palestinian suffering has been obscured through [1] the repetition of unverified Israeli claims, [2] the stripping away of historical context and [3] a reliance on official Israeli sources over Palestinian voices.”

“Israeli authorities and security forces continue to commit genocide in #Gaza”. “[They] have committed the crimes against humanity of extermination, torture, rape and other forms of sexual violence in the West Bank, as well as persecution… with nationality, race and ethnicity at its core."
Israel has committed the 'crimes against humanity of extermination, torture [and] rape' in the West Bank and is continuing to commit genocide in Gaza, a major new UN report has concluded ⬇️ www.thenational.scot/news/2...
La “BBC minimizaba la responsabilidad israelí en el 83% de los titulares analizados […] todavía titula así la noticia sobre el asesinato de Hind Rajab por las fuerzas israelíes: «Hind Rajab, de 6 años, hallada muerta en Gaza días después de sus llamadas de auxilio».“

“As anti-social offenders face town centre bans and curfews under Labour’s new “Asbos”, will Scotland’s plummeting anti-social behaviour figures cause a problem for media operating in ‘SNP soft touch on crime’ Scotland?”

I just signed a petition calling on the EU to defend the International Criminal Court against Trump’s attacks. The EU has a powerful tool that could protect international law - mass public pressure will force them to act. Join me and add your name now: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-10...

🇬🇧 In 1974 the uk Gov MCRONE REPORT concluded that the benefit of North Sea oil to the economy of an independent Scotland would result in a: “chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree, and its currency would become the hardest in Europe" 🇬🇧 The uk Gov immediately classified the Report as SECRET

This is horrific. And unsurprisingly the work of a "conservative" multimillionaire. Other adjectives might include creepy, prurient, dictatorial and abusive, not to mention, of course, transphobic. Once more with feeling: we need to get the money out of politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Today’s Labour party blaming Thatcher for not creating an oil fund, when it was Labour in government that rejected the creation of such a fund in the 1970s, is disingenuous at best. They daren’t acknowledge the McCrone report or their suppression of its conclusions either.
Selling out Britain’s future goes back to Thatcher. Had we invested oil/gas revenues we’d have a fund worth £1 trillion now. Selling off assets at less than they were worth (think council houses/utilities) + spending not investing the proceeds trashed the UK’s balance sheet

Can hear Geissler and McIvor on BBC Scotland Breakfast now. Shug McHugh in Boness has a squeaky gate that kept the neighbours awake during the storm. We go live to David Wallace Lockhard on the scene to talk to the sleep-deprived residents, then onto the CEO of 3in1 oil on the SNP's lack of planning

The experience of newly independent countries in Europe teaches us that an independent Scotland could rapidly establish a currency of its own, the proposals of the Scottish Currency Group @scg1.bsky.social point the way ahead. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/25/n...

For the majority, Burnham was massive failure - 'Manchester was becoming a “northern version of London” as an “insane” property crisis compounded the misery for the city’s 20,000 people on the social housing register.' www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

It was touching to hear Burnham in his conference say how he valued the unionist views of his late father, over the views of the population of Scotland,where a majority are in support of independence What about an ‘honest conversation’ about Burnham’s denial of constitutional democracy in Scotland?
PM open to 'honest discussion' about return to free movement with EU

“Scotland powers the Union. Literally. Oil. Gas. Wind. All flowing south to keep London's lights on. Then they tell us we're 'subsidised'? That's not unity. That's extraction. Scotland has the energy but not the power. Independence means we'll have both.” #IndependencelsNormal @indyposterboy.scot
The route for all Scotland's assets is south of the border. Time for Independence for 🏴🏴🇨🇮 & 🏴

In 2014 we were told that the only way to stay in the EU was to vote No to independence and stay part of the UK. Instead it took us out against our will. It'll be depressingly ironic if Unionists now start insisting that the only way for Scotland to *rejoin* the EU is to stay part of the UK.

"Scotland owes it to itself and to future generations of Scots to ensure the second Westminster energy heist is nipped in the bud. This time around we can’t say we’ve not been warned. Only independence can ensure that Scotland’s vast energy potential is harnessed to benefit the people of Scotland."
My latest blog piece, the £1 trillion cost of the Union to Scotland is revealed as Westminster embarks on a second theft of Scotland's natural wealth. Only independence can ensure Scotland’s vast energy wealth is used to benefit the people of Scotland. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/10/23/t...
