From Noon Sunday
It is the last show of this calendar year. I am joined by the whole team. We have Lloyd Quinan, Phil Boswell, Eva Comrie and Allan Petrie.
There is no dispute on the biggest domestic story of the week. Labour breaks yet another pledge, this time to the WASPI women.I am old enough not to be surprised by Labour lies.This is typical Labour Party behaviour. Pre election they always promise a land of milk and honey if we will just give them one more chance.Then when they get in, they break every manifestos pledge and leave us in a worse state than before. Neither The Union nor The Labour Party is fit for purpose!
Guess what folks, they got their chance and in just the space of five months they have gone from champs to chumps. It takes some doing in such a short space of time to have the electorate already missing the real Tories!
The Tory tribute band that is the Labour Party is doing absolutely everything it can to ensure nobody ever votes in another Labour Government this century! I am truly beginning to wonder if Tory HQ actually planted Starmer and Reeves into the Labour Party as Manchurian candidates!
During the election campaign all of the Labour big guns were falling over themselves to have photo ops with WASPI women to assure them that if they just trusted their votes to Starmer he would right the wrong placed upon the women born in the 1950s. Like most other Starmer promises this one too has been reneged upon. He told us that the treasury just could not afford to pay the pensioners what was just, due and demanded!
In the same week a Bill passed along through Westminster guaranteeing £3,000,000,000 a year to Ukraine and the fascists regime in Kiev. We sent another £50 million to the new ISIS Government in Syria. We have flown and paid for literally hundreds of spy missions over Gaza to assist Israel to carry out its genocide against the civilian population trapped there.
Westminster can always find money for imperial wars and wars of conquest, and genocides they just can never ever find enough money to lift their own citizens out of poverty and despair.
When it comes to reasons for not paying the WFA to pensioners or ending two child cap, bedroom tax or paying the WASPI women fair compensation,it is not about affordability, it is purely about priorities! Basically Starmer and Labour do not care about their own voters and citizens.Their priorities lie with the citizens of Israel, Ukraine, Syria, USA, not the citizens of Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland!
Starmer worries more about foreign countries and their citizens rather than the citizens of the UK that have elected his party into government. As if all this was not enough to ensure his party collapse he broke yet another pre election pledge this week.
It is the same one that Labour has been breaking for over a century, abolishing the House of Lords. Quite the opposite in fact, instead of putting up legislation to abolish this abomination to democracy, this week Labour appointed 30 new peers including the conspirators in his party that ousted Jeremy Corbyn and ensured a Tory Government in 2019. Wendy Alexander and Margaret Curran from Scotland were elevated for??for?? for being good little House Jocks?
With his party in freefall Starmer decided to go for broke The UK Government sanctioned the sale of The Royal Mail to a Czech Billionaire!
While he was on a roll Starmer then rubber stamped the English and Welsh Water companies eye-watering price rises of 41%. The same week as the CEO of Yorkshire Water was given a £370,000 bonus! It seems spewing untreated sewage into our rivers and streams is profitable for those literally shitting on us from a great height!
Water is a necessity of life. In a decent society, water should not be for profit and share dividends.It should be a cautionary tale to all Scots that if you allow the Unionists to ever again gain control at Holyrood our Scottish Water Co. will be sold off by the London spivs within months. The city has been eyeing it jealously for years!
Meanwhile, in Scotland we had the news that Humza Yousaf, aged 39 is retiring from politics so as the next generation can take up the reins of power!If it was not so tragic, it would be laughable! Having children as spads and backbenchers has nearly destroyed Holyrood and the SNP! We need people with some life experience. We need people with skills and experience in the real world.We do not need anymore children straight out of school!
John Swinney with his brass neck suitably polished called for action to tackle misogyny and “chilling behaviour to women.”This from the Party that introduced the Hate Crime Bill and the GRRB. The party that put male rapists into women’s prisons and rape crisis centres. The party that has had women arrested for tying ribbons to lamposts or attempting to defend their rights against bullying adult human males pretending to be females!
In spite of this onslaught to demoralise and demotivate our people, 59% of Scots surveyed in a recent poll said they would vote for an Independent Scottish Republic.This is a clear 5% points higher than those wanting an independent Scotland with a monarchy!Ironically some in the royalist SNP tried to claim credit for a pro Republican polling outcome!
As the TASP team heads off on its Christmas break we would like you thank the incompetent politicians on both sides of the border that throughout the year gave us do much to discuss, dissect and debate.We hope you have enjoyed our efforts and what we have had to say throughout 2024.
As the year draws to a close we who are all involved on Prism would like to thank you for your support and participation in our podcasts. We wish you and yours all the best for Christmas and may 2025 bring you all that you wish for yourself and your loved ones.
I would like you offer my own thanks to my regular panel members and to all the other guest panellists that have made Prism the success that it is.
See you in 2025, till then, you and yours, take care!
Saor Alba gu brath!

There will be one beneficiary in 2026: Reform!
I made a series of posts on here and elsewhere prior to the GE this year, an extract follows:
“One day … a candidate whether standing for Westminster or for Holyrood will refuse to take the Royal Oath, and instead swear a Scottish Oath. An Oath to the Scottish People who are Sovereign!
The Declaration of a Sovereign Scot initiative is looking for any current candidate(s) who will decide (before the 4th of July) that NOW is the time for that ONE DAY! ”
(Extract ends)
Despite contact with candidates who I thought might react positively (specifically with 2026 in mind) none came forward.
TASP, today, highlighted the dishonesty of those who gained votes from the WASPI movement, and then reneged on any promises immediately upon election.
Consider therefore whether it may prove equally dishonest to seek election on a promise to abolish the monarchy, when – knowing in advance – that all those who seek election on that basis immediately face the very real conundrum that to take their place at Holyrood as an MSP, they will require to take the Royal Oath, an oath essentially that continues to infinity.
Can one- honestly – commit to abolishing a monarchy – knowing it is a monarchy to which one will swear continuing loyalty?
On a different tack I undernote a link to an article about a 77 year old women who was jailed for participating in a protest to Stop Oil.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1el32g75p8o
The recalling of this elderly woman to jail just before Christmas I think brings into absolute sharp focus the vicious and vindictive nature of the establishment against political protest.
This woman should not be in jail, and her jailing, at least for me, shows the absolute jack boot intinidatory nature of the justice system.
But we know that in Scotland with the political prosecution of Alex Salmond, Mark Hirst, Craig Murray, Manny Singh,, Marion Miller and others.
This woman’s recall to jail was just another example of a politically malaevolent system sending a message.
