Scots Independence is a nationalistic endevour, it’s pushed on an us and them basis with the usual strength and weakness contradictions and ahistorical myth making. This is the same for every independence movement that isn’t literally fighting against an invading force (eg Ukraine against Russia).

Westminster is fucked, absolutely, and the current system does not work for anyone outside of south east England and London. But imagining that a unified Scotland even existed pre-1603 is something my Isles ancestors would dispute rather strongly, especially if insisted on by lowlanders.

We should be proud of our history, there is nothing wrong with that, but pretending that there is any genuine factual case based in history, economics, political structure, or anything other than emotion, is foolish.

Nationalism is still nationalism.

Absolutely, and so electing Green councillors in May won’t enable them to implement it in their areas.

This is what properly fucks me off with Polanski. It’s a great policy, but like all populists, saying stuff like this means he’s either stupid, or he’s lying knowingly misrepresenting the power councillors have.

It’s fundamentally unserious.

Really good policy.

It does beg the question why the handful of councils they already control haven’t enacted it if…

He added: "Green councillors elected in May will be using their influence to implement this scheme in their areas and we will be applying political pressure at a national level for a scheme recommended by the transport select committee last year to be made real.

Also: what if whales played drums

Good, bunch of toff cunts

Wait, so, Novara are in favour of force feeding people on hunger strike?

The amazing thing is also that in the south, all waterways are public rights of way.

If you think the CRT are bad, you should look in to the estates of any of the actual major historic landowners, Duke Fuckerton of Cuntsford, and the like.

They claim that they own the riverbed, literally the dirt under the water, which gives them rights to ban people from swimming, canoeing, fishing, etc.

Talk about telling on yourself having no idea how to run a business.

I agree the bloke is awful, and his actions reprehensible.

But you do get how you’ve, literally, had to dehumanise him to justify your view, yeah?

Look, I’m not happy with what Starmer and Co have done so far in aggregate, but the PLP would be signing its own death warrant if they engaged in the type or psychodrama which the Tories did over the last 5 years.

A good amount of MPs already know they will likely lose their seats in 2029, but a) trying to accelerate that is not in their interest, b) the circumstances are fucked, and won’t change with someone new in charge.

Economically, we’re still going cap in hand to the bond markets, we still have an incredibly hostile press, and there is little to no community cohesion to resist negative stories along “dual power” lines.

None of that changes with Burnham, or an SCG-aligned alternative.

I would love nothing more than to be wrong.

Fucking hell, if even Novara are turning on them, they must be absolutely fucked.

Kiff, inform the men! I’ve made it with a woman.

“I don’t like the looks of this doctor. I bet I’ve lost more patients than he’s treated.”

I fucking love Zoidberg, he just gets me, yknow?

I have some sympathy with Phillipson here, the current guidance is an absolute shit show and whatever she says she’ll get shit from transpeople, or from terfs.

But that all said, be better.

Get fucked, cunt.

Bob gang!

King. Shit.
