2/2 I would put good money on hubby's trial outcome will be a 2/3 weeks before HR next year if guilty, or just after the election if "not guilty".

Whatever the outcome, I can't see her returning to frontline politics. Politics is the proverbial dirty business, which ever side you're on.

Watching the Nicola interview this-evening, whatever you think of her or her time as FM, she isn't a shadow of her former self - not surprising since she's been in the full storm of a WM attack. 1/2

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…

Jewish staff at Scottish universities call for full divestment from Israel

Anyone over 60 can get a free eye test in Scotland every two years, or more often if deemed necessary.

Of course she loves the police. They'll arrest and silence people who have the cheek to ask her a difficult question.

Yep. The only way to keep the NHS safe is to keep it in public hands - as it's creator planned. The only way that can be assured in Scotland is Independence.

This thread may be of interest regarding a currency in an Independent Scotland.

I had the What will Scotland use for money question.
What I believe will happen.
GBP used during transition. 1 year
Our own currency for a minimum of 3 years

Well done Grenada 😊

Well, knock me over with a feather! WM following Scotland's lead.

Independence will be the answer to most things - as it is, anything the ScotGov wants to do can be blocked or over-ridden by WM if they don't like it/think it's not fair to our southern neighbours or for whatever reason.

Lies, lies and more lies.

They have nothing else.

Miracles have been known to happen - especially if you're a unionist.

The irony is that the majority of them were senior citizens❤️ ! If that was a co-ordinated approach it was brilliant as it meant the Polis couldn't use strong-arm stuff without inflicting injury on the grannies! The man in the wheelchair was blind as well so I don't know how they'll deal with him.

It probably wasn't WM's idea to begin with so they can't allow Scotland to be taking the lead on a good idea 🙄 By doing this they make out Scotland's the disruptive party.
