FROM NOON SUNDAY.
This week my panel consists of Dr. Yvonne Ridley, Lloyd Quinan, Eva Comrie, Phil Boswell and Jacqui Bijster. We had lots to discuss, so it was great that Jacqui could join our discussion this week.
There is lots to discuss too, from a Scottish Politics view there was no bigger story than the defection of Lisa Cameron to the Conservative and Unionist Party. The panel gives us their opinions on why she might have chosen such a move and what are the repercussions for her, for the SNP and the good folk of East Kilbride.
We also review the recent British Labour Party Conference. Is the Labour Party a bit premature in celebrating a future general election victory? It seems that after 16 years of losing every election in Scotland and even slipping behind the Tories in popularity Ian Murray MP felt the need to preen and fantasise about Labour once more becoming the dominant party of Scotland.
We deliberate over his outburst and suggestion that in future no Labour Government will ever devolve further powers to Scotland. Does he really think his prejudices will win his party Scottish votes?
Sir Keir Starmer and his decision to demand an oath of loyalty to the union by all new Labour members is discussed and debated by our guests. The speeches of both millionaire Anas Sarwar and soon to be Dame Jack Baillie are analysed and dissected by our informed commentators.
We give our opinion on the truly appalling scenes in Glasgow at the Fila Conference. Do these Queer Theory fanatics understand or care what they do to the image of Glasgow and Scotland? The world renowned friendliness of the dear green place trashed by these fanatical loudmouth bullies, shame on them!
We praise the dignity and words of First Minister Humza Yousaf as we discuss the plight of his family trapped in Gaza at this time. Lesser individuals would perhaps have come over bitter in such circumstances, he did not and spoke in measured tone and with clarity and reasonableness throughout. We all trust his family and all the others trapped in that place are safe.
While Scottish politics our main focus always, it is impossible this week not to have discussed the ongoing tragedy of Gaza and the people there. It is a difficult topic however, it is one we need to face. By ignoring it nothing will change. The panel give their views.
Open goals are all over the place yet the SNP hierarchy are too feart to kick the ball. They still prefer cans.
Brilliant episode, very hard hitting. There’s no money in peace
Thank you,glad you enjoyed it.
Another great prism and superb comments from the participants , but please can everyone stop saying Scottish labour or Scottish tories it just gives those betrayers a semblance of credibility which they certainly don’t deserve ,as WE all know they are unionist parties REPRESENTING and WORKING for the union AGAINST SCOTLAND , they are branch offices who have lied and misled Scots to deceive them , their loyalty is for the UNION and keeping Scotland catchd
Very powerful comments this week, BB. Very topical stuff.
Gaza: war crimes against civilians being committed by both sides, but Israel is already under a UN sanction, yet it feels no need to comply with anything. The deaths are now on a scale of 10:1, and is a mass punishment – which is illegal under international law. The kibbutzim must know that their illegal and ever-expanding occupation of Palestinian territory cannot be sustained. If they try to take Gaza – annexe it – they will raise the devil. What is wrong with governments everywhere that they will not comply with established law – and that includes both Scottish and British governments? We are all sleepwalking into fascism/totalitarianism because it is too much effort to actually think and to maintain law and order, both domestically and internationally. WW II has become a distant memory for many older people and a complete blank for so many of our youth. The domestic social contract is all but gone now and the international one is under severe pressure, too. The making of money under any and all circumstances, avoiding and evading taxes, and hoarding of undeserved and individual wealth that would have belonged to society as a whole, has melted brains to mush.
People coming from the richest country per capita on the planet, America, are flooding a small piece of land that they have absolutely no right to under human rights law or international law because they are not under threat where they are, they suffer few real hardships. They are troublemakers. Hamas made a serious mistake, too. The atrocity has done them no favours and they must have known that innocent Palestinian lives, following the taking of innocent Israeli lives, would be taken in reply to such a provocation. Using civilians in this way is also against international law and is also a war crime. The UN needs to step in and keep peace between the two sides, ensure that Palestinians receive supplies and water and, if necessary, wring an agreement out of that ultra right-wing old warmonger, Netanyahu, that many of the kibbutzes nearest Palestinian territory will be abandoned, preliminary to talks to establish a two-state solution, with a corridor between Gaza and the West Bank and internationally-approved access to water and a supply route, plus access to the holiest Islamic sites in Israel through an international militarised zone, if necessary. If every people and every country on the planet decided that ancient territory, long lost our unoccupied, or occupied by others, should be reclaimed at any cost, the world would blow itself apart within a day.
Glasgow: Elaine Miller escorted into the conference by police after trying to reason with people who do not understand the meaning of the word – or most other words either. The police should have dispersed them or kept them well back from the delegates. I am convinced that their orders are related, via their high heid yins, from the SG. Same with justiciary. No way could some of the recent judgements have been reached, totally contrary to any ‘reasonable man’ (woman) interpretation, without nobbling or the judge in question being captured and, therefore, incapable of sitting as an impartial judge, leading to a removal from office. What needs to be done, and BB exemplified what needs to be done when he emphasized that no ‘trans’ entered that swimming competition, is that the fact – indisputable fact – that these men are autogynephiles and fetishists who will settle for nothing less than entry to femalehood across the board. They are deviant men, usually porn-soaked, stimulating their AGP/fetishism to new heights. This is all well-known and established analysis of this phenomenon.
This needs to be shouted from the rooftops and emphasised at every turn. No “but I know some who are gentle and sweet”. No exceptions. Even those who would not encroach on female spaces try the “but I knew I was ‘trans’ at two years old” bull which encourages the ‘transing’ of children. Anyone who has ever had a child knows perfectly well that children cannot express such stuff at two years of age, and all children express ‘gender’ stereotypes of both sexes throughout childhood until they grow into themselves as either heterosexuals or gays. It is normal. Gender dysphoria is a manifestation of body dysmorphia and should be treated as such. Call for the repeal of the 2004 GRA and all other pieces of legislation that enable this take-over by the bullsh*t*rs. The ‘trans’ identified ‘men’ are just too stupid for words, but they are not, generally-speaking, deviant, albeit some might well be. They need help, yes, but if they won’t take it, they need to be left to their own devices. We must concentrate on the children and their welfare in this wicked and porn-soaked ideology, which means getting this bull out of schools pronto.
Reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, but turned on its head for the most part – a long, slow (about twenty years) period of infiltration of every public institution (here, it has been under ten years), reducing women to “Kinder Und Kuchen” (here, it is erasure) and encouraging a high birth rate (here, it is encouraging a lower birth rate), sterilization of those considered inferior or useless (here it is exactly the opposite, with the educated and middle-class being brainwashed), sending ‘deviants’ to the camps (here deviancy is positively encouraged, especially in the young).
Before any professional grievance monkey decides that I am advocating Nazi doctrines, let me make it absolutely clear that I am utterly and totally opposed to anything even remotely resembling the Nazi regime. Live and let live. That is why, if you try to erase me and my rights, you are going to have a fight on your hands – and that goes for both my stance against ‘trans’ ideology and my stand for independence, which, in the queer theory camp, are conflated, as independence stands in the way of ‘trans’ ideology and queer theory. Anyone who still cannot see it does not understand what is happening, is wilfully blind or terminally stupid or deviant him/herself, and I’d reckon that the last category is well-filled in our legislatures. For the ‘trans’ lobby, the hard left, who are part of a global movement, independence is the distraction from their take-over of Scotland, and country by country, with the right-wing elite globalists at their back, for whom independence would also be a hindrance to easy wealth accumulation.
Thanks to this site for the discussion held. Apologies for jumping in OT
Well done to our national football team for qualifying for next summer Europe championship in Germany.
Should Europe still be in a position to host such a gathering in 8 months then there are hopes to have peace camps encouraging international collaboration for improvement in humanities likely progression, survival. Despite the current nature of Western government in particular.
HERE is the future history of Scotland and Scots unless we waken up and TELL politicians WE decide who votes in our constitution

Does anyone think the Aborigines believe in civic nationalism, OR if given the choice would they have been so generous towards their colonisers, have the se ttlers and inco mers earned the New Australian title
On the apparently odd ‘nationalist’ defection to the ‘one-nation’ British Imperialist Tories, postcolonial theory reminds us of the dubious ‘values’ of a native bourgeoisie, being the most pampered and privileged group among a colonized people and whom, lets not forget, were ‘made’ for indirect rule.
The elements of that group, which thinks itself capable of leading the people to liberation, ‘has never undertaken a reasoned study of colonial society’ (Fanon). Which means their understanding of the colonial ‘condition’ and oppression of the people remains ‘rudimentary’. Moreover, their ‘craving for assimilation’ and friendly ‘co-operation’ may become too much.
As Albert Memmi put it: “The colonized is always degraded and the colonialist finds justification for rejecting his subjects”.
Ultimately, an independence movement depends on the native lumpen proletariat, as we see in the distribution of the ‘Yes’ vote, less so on its elites or its middle class. One would have hoped that a psychologist might be aware of the features of ‘dependent psychology’ in colonial society and that, “since no one can serve two masters, one of the two should be sacrificed to the other” (Cesaire).
I have had several members of my family who have all told me they will NEVER vote again, as they no longer trust politicians, Nothing changes they say, they promise everything but deliver nothing. All WERE SNP voters, NOT necessary members, but have been voting SNP for years. Like most on the panel, I myself have been voting SNP since Winnie Ewing won Hamilton. I was also a member for 12yrs, But I left the party in 2017, after swithering from 2015 to leave.. I could NOT believe we sent 56 SNP MPs to WM and all we got was sneered at told to sit down, those MPs became a joke to the Colonial parties. In turn they turned us the members and voters of the SNP into a joke as well.
I did try convincing family that to NEVER vote again means NEVER getting the change they hoped for.. I am an Alba member, It was like the heartache of 2014, was being replaced with THE DREAM SHALL NEVER DIE (after believing it HAD died in 2014) When Alex Salmond came back with a new party..
But I have to be honest, I have more faith in SALVO & Liberation.Scotland actually getting is Independence, as Alex has insisted he will use the same franchise of allowing ALL & SUNDRY that live here a vote.. Scotland will NEVER win a referendum EVER..I also believe that any genuine Indy party, would never take up seats in that English Parliament..We should be ignoring WM, challenging them rather than continue asking them of any S30..
I have really come to the conclusion that so long as we continue to vote for politicians , we need to vote for ALBA for GOOD GOVERNANCE, which he delivered as FM for the SNP.. That I see as the best we can hope for now..So long as we recognise WM & take up seats in that corrupt establishment.
Good luck with Salvo getting us independence.
