  • Ah… There’s one for our wheesht for stonewall crowd to watch.

    Living, working-class, radical feminist, socialist history… And the humanity!

    Yvonne, what a joy that was. Thanks for all your service… From speaking up for oaps when you were 14, to speaking up for a 14 year old boy as an oap, to speaking up for all women against our whole and unanimous SNP government as they attempt to rub women out of biology.

    And meanwhile, our FM calls climate change a feminist issue.

    Need to go and get another can of IRN Bru.

    Yvonne, thank you. Respect.

  • Yvonne, I am taking that OAP thing back … Clearly that hasn’t happened to you yet … And what you did with the South For the Rohinghya boy was the work of a humane professional at work … Mid career.

  • Scotland is next due to have our periodic 10-year census carried out.
    It’s the biggest polling audience to ask and many things have changed.

    In addition to the standard q’s, would this not be an ideal opportunity to also poll and ask all Scottish citizens some additional questions.

    Suggestions as follows…

    Q17: To manage our country properly, should Scotland’s independence be restored? (Y/N/M)
    Q34: How would you rate the incumbent First Minister in Scotland? (sliding scale)
    Q51: Do you agree the UK exit from the European Union has been bad for Scotland? (Y/N/M)

    Asking questions like these from the body responsible is one thing, but being able to trust the given collective answers would be another.

    Yes, politicians focus the now is on the various aspects of nature’s ‘climate change’. There are, however, more pressing matters to home… it’s to do with the changes within Scotland’s ‘political climate’.

    TASP rocks!

    Supplementary question:
    Q68: Going by current performance, do you believe Scotland will win the world cup? 🙂

  • Thanks Roddy – Thanks Yvonne – that was a really excellent listen – I learned a lot and was well entertained too. I hope to hear much more from Yvonne in future.

    I like Cactus’ ‘extra’ questions for the delayed Scottish Census – Q.68 – Do I believe Scotland will win the World Cup? – It’s not impossible – but let’s get ourselves through the play-offs first. THEN we start dreaming!!!

    (Good to see you back as a regular contributor Cactus – always looked out for your stuff across on Wings a few years back).

  • Hi Ludo Thierry, good to see you posting too.

    Yeah, let’s hope Team Scotland can progress beyond and make some waves, cheers.
