That must be a contender for best joke at the Embra Fringe.

It has. I'm typing this with my nose.

I'd clap in applause at your terribly clever joke but the radioactivity has made all the skin fall off my hands.

It’s independence or remaining the MoD’s nuclear dump At the end of my last blog piece about attempts to get the UN to recognise Scotland as a non self-governing territory, I noted that it’s not the UN which needs to be persuaded of the case for…

My latest blog piece. Scotland has a choice between independence or a future in the UK as the dumping ground for the Ministry of Defence's radioactive waste.

People need to be realistic about what this initiative can achieve. So yes, it does matter, as some are presenting it as the means by which the current constitutional deadlock can be broken. It's not. It's not the UN which needs to be persuaded of the case for indy, it's the people of Scotland.

Scotland and the United Nations, an unlikely path to independence There has been some pushback online from Liberation Scotland/Salvo supporters about the comment I made in my previous piece about the UK employing its veto as a permanent member of the UN Security …

That's not true. The only times a UN security council veto can be prevented is on a 'prodecural' matter.

France vetoed a resolution on the decolonisation of the Comoros island of Mayotte in 1976. France was and remains the colonising power. Mayotte has since become an integral part of France.

Breaking the constitutional logjam There has been a lot of discussion in the past few weeks about various strategies to achieve independence. These include John Swinney’s plan, which I wrote about a few days ago. There is also…

Thoughts on the SNP’s independence strategy We are back from our trip to England, and before writing anything else I have to tell you that both my other half and I are completely besotted with our new baby granddaughter. I realise that I am …

My latest blog piece, thoughts on the SNP's independence strategy.

We drove past their 'rally' near Glasgow Cathedral. More of a gaggle than a rally to be honest. It looked as though there were fewer than 100 there. We also drove past the counter-demo being kettled by the police in Cathedral Street, there were many more at that one.

We were in Glasgow today and passed a small far right anti-immigrant protest. They were carrying signs about migrants raping women and abusing young girls. They should have been in Turnberry protesting about the foreign rapist playing golf there.

Is that the guy who they forgot to mention is a Tory councillor?

Trump's convoy is driving past my town. I feel unclean, but on the bright side he'll get a lovely view of the wind turbines.

I had to laugh when they said on Sky News that opinions in Scotland about Trump are "divided". I thought - that's a funny way of saying most people in Scotland loathe him.

Front page of The National newspaper from Scotland on 25 July 2025, the day Donald Trump arrives in Scotland for a golf holiday. Under a photo of Trump's glowering eyes, the headline reads " CONVICTED US FELON TO ARRIVE IN SCOTLAND" with the sub heading Republican leader, who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, will visit golf courses.

This is how you anounce Trump's visit to Scotland. Yes, this is a real newspaper front page. Well done @scotnational.bsky.social

Klackers, they were lethal. A classmate of mine at primary school broke her arm with them, and another kid I knew had to be taken to hospital after they shattered and the shards hit him in the face.

View of Kirk Hill wind farm near Turnberry in Scotland, with Ailsa Craig island visible in the distance.

As Trump flies into Scotland today to play golf, I hope he loves the surprise we have for him. This is the new Kirk Hill wind farm near Kirkoswald, which is clearly visible from his Turnberry course. The windfarm was built in 2022, after Trump's last visit.

Trump’s visit to Scotland On Friday Scotland will be infested with the presence of Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, abuser of women and best friend of deceased child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein – and those are his b…

My latest blog piece, Trump's visit to Scotland from the perpective of a Scot who lives 3 miles away from one of his Scottish golf courses - spoiler alert - we hate him.

There isn't the infrastructure to hold it at Turnberry, the nearest train station is Maybole, 4 miles away on a single track unelectrified line. The A77 is single carriageway & parking at Turnberry is limited. Accommodation locally is also limited.

In the 70s I was forced to go until I was 13.
I repeated the same list of made up sins, starting with "It has been 6 weeks since my last confession" - it was always longer - & ending with I tell lies. The I'm not going to mass fight when I was 15 was bigger than the I'm gay fight a few years later.

Photo of Donald Trump pursing his lips, at the bottom of the photo it says Spunktrumpet: UK & Irish slang, a contemptible and obnoxious person (from spunk, semen, plus trumpet)

I'll see your cockwomble and raise you spunktrumpet.

I'm keeping out of the way. We are going to England this weekend to visit family so I'll miss him (aww). On one hand I want a huge protest to make his visit uncomfortable, on the other I hope he's ignored except for a massive FUCK OFF TRUMP sign, because that would crush his fragile bloated ego.

Because he's an arsehole.

A719 Road from Maidens to Turnberry in South Ayrshire which runs past Trump's golf course, rumoured locally to have been bought with Russian mafia money. The road has been closed by Police Scotland in anticipation of Trump's visit.

A719 Between Maidens and Turnberry is closed in both directions ahead of Trump's visit on Friday. Police Scotland are manning all entrances to Turnberry village.

Christ on a bike. Scotland will be infested by Trump later this week and then by JD Vance next month. What will it take to get it through the thick skulls of these airsewipes that Scotland cannae thole them - that's can't stand them for you non-Scots speakers.

Placard saying TRUMP IS A CUNT - THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

I'll miss Trump's visit to his Turnberry golf course, as I will be in England visiting family, so I'll miss him. I'm distraught, devastated. I was planning to greet him with this very special Scottish welcome.

Trump has told the Wall Street Journal its reporters are not welcome on his visit to Scotland. As a Scot living 3 miles from Trump's Turnberry golf course, I can tell you the unwelcome visitor is Trump. He's despised in Scotland & he'll be met by 1000s channelling the late great Janey Godley.

Hard right British nationalist for your block lists

It was a completely different experience. My application for PIP was traumatising. They made stuff up so as to bump me down to a lower rate. I can't hold a pen & my mobility is poor yet I had to get myself to an advice centre to fill in a 50 page paper form. The Scottish ADP form can be done online

I'm sure you'll be fine. It's a very different system from the DWP's, it's user-friendly and you are not made to feel like a cheat or a criminal.
