From Noon Sunday.
This week my guests are Yvonne Ridley, Eva Comrie, Phil Boswell and Neale Hanvey MP. The continuing fallout from the Supreme Court decision takes up most of our debating time. Plebiscite or a defacto unrecognised referendum? Are SNP genuinely in favour of a true Plebiscite in 2024 or just seeking another mandate to ask again for a Section 30? Can we trust SNP? How should we now view Westminster? How realistic is unity? What can we do next?
The UN Rapporteur on Violence against women and girls has heavily criticised the Scottish Government’s handling of GRR, will Sturgeon & The SNP listen to the UN expert or do they know better than anyone else?
Sammy Wilson of DUP and other extremists of Unionism starting a whispering campaign against Holyrrod. Is this the first moves in Westminster bringing in direct rule from London and closing Holyrood? Stormont and Holyrood both under English direct rule would suit the Britnat zealots.
The Supreme Court has given the Unionists the belief in the invincibility of the union and a signal for them to be as extreme as they want. How should we react?

Good show BB. You are right they ain’t finished with Corbyn but you must remember it was the SNP siding with the Tories to bring an election on knowing the Tories were miles ahead in the polls. The only difference between them was the day. The 9th or 12th Dec. Great points on the GRA bill. Robin McAlpine pointed this out yesterday when linking the Bill to the Lord Advocate who agrees with it but the LA did not agree with the Supreme Court idea. The FM apparently was begging the LA. There is no way my grandaughter should be asked a questionnaire in school in which absolutely none of the SNP\Green\Labour also politicians would answer. 2 huge mistakes by Sturgeon in the press conference. Firstly after being asked if she will return the Indy money to the Scottish coffers Sturgeon instead of moving onto the next reporter she opened up to ” Does anybody want to ask a question”. Totally rattled it seems. Then the guy Smith asks if she has blown it and she told him to stop interrupting when he wasn’t. He answered back he was still waiting on his answer. Sturgeons face was taut and clearly unnerved. Before I go I will say again. In the meantime stop your marches. Waste of time. March on Bute House. Cheaper and quicker. Do it every week. You only need a few hundred.
Great stuff this week, Roddy and the panel.
What is the biggest problem we face as independence-minded Scots? It’s the Union, is it not? How did the Union come about and what were its aims? Has it lived up to those aims? It has not, and that is down solely and totally to England’s and England as the UK’s elites snatching the role of dominatrix and putting her size tens on our necks.
I would agree, because we agreed to the Union via the Treaty and the Acts, that we could not, ordinarily, leave the Union on a unilateral basis. However, that has been blown out of the water by England’s/England as the UK’s self-interest and desire to rule the roost, breaching the Treaty on almost every level since 1707 – one of the most blatant breaching being the usurpation of Scotland’s Court of Session (the court of final civil appeal in Scotland) by the Hall of Westminster (HoL). Even our criminal law has not been safe from their sticky fingers. The Union, from just after 1707 to the present day has been a sorry tale of betrayal and treachery to Scotland’s detriment, and to England’s and England as the UK’s benefit.
It is of little use to look to the Scotland Act and devolution. That was intended to be a way of corralling us, but was also a blatant breach of the Treaty because England did not also devolve. We need to look beyond devolution an to the Treaty, which, if resiled, will lead to the repeal of the Acts. This will take time in the international court/UN, but, meantime, we need to make the political solution tenable. No more pre independence referendums, for God’s sake: they are wholly unnecessary in international law, and will always be open to being lost. We need to go straight to a Convention/Congress and a United Scotland in the next election (which should be a Scottish one, based on the declaration by the SC of the UK that we have no route out of the Union – ever) and declare a UDI. That can be done well within 18 months maximum, possibly a lot fewer. Will he SNP do that? NO. So, we keep on battering them.
The GRA Reform Bill, if put into law, will lead to court cases galore and will see, eventually, all female rights specific to the female sex class enshrined in law, which they are not all at the moment. I have never seen such anger in women before, and I am beginning to think that they will push so hard back against this stuff that we will actually gain ground in the end. The ‘trans’ warriors will rue the day they tried to silence and hurt women. What is going to emerge, all you brave lads in black and in frocks and lippy, is your worst nightmare: women and girls saying NO to you so loudly that your eardrums will burst. We do not want you in our spaces, in our faces, in our female-specific jobs, in our sports, in our hospital wards (both physical and psychiatric health) or anywhere near us. Campaign for third spaces, chaps, or find yourselves left behind by history.
The handmaidens are mainly young and have yet to have babies, women’s health problems and so on, or compete against you for jobs and prizes. When they do, you will discover that they are female first and last. A wee heads up for you all there. Do and dress as you please, but we don’t want to see or participate in your fetishes or have to protect ourselves against the predators. I know some of you would not violate female spaces and rights, and would do nothing to harm females, but you should have put a stop early on to those who are only to willing to do just that. Being kind has its limitations in the teeth of unkindness.
Took me some time to get there but I just finished watching another excellent Prism. Thank you, Roddy, for getting these committed people together. It’s so heartening to hear their wise words.
