If it was the english voting on a constitutional issue of any sort, you can absolutely bet they would not want Scots, Welsh or Irish having a vote in England.
We should show strength in this, and make it clear Scots will determine the future of their own country.
You four fellows could run Scotland and declare independence without any help from the “great leader”. She ought, for the sake of our country, move out and let you show the world how it’s done……… and I’m not kidding!
Great chat with four patriots ( is that a dirty word ?). Thanks to all of you. So sad that our government in Scotland has to pretend you do not exist when not demonising you through their attack dogs.
As far as they are concerned there is no debate. Your opinions and the honestly held views of many independence supporters are ” not valid “. End of.
The frog is coming to the boil and time is running out to break free of Westminster control. If COP26 passes without a major show of support for independence we are in deep trouble. Indy ref2 is
being weighed up by the more intelligent of our colonial masters and they will relish handing us a poisoned chalice at a time and on conditions of their choosing.
The Mundells have the care homes captured in Dumfries and Galloway. The residents all think wee Ollie is lovely because he visits them on a regular visits and takes them a few wee goodies.
I’m not entirely convinced that residents weren’t 2helped to complete their postal votes in the 2014 referendum.
Excellent! The best Prism ever!
Absolutely first class discussion.
Well done to all four for highlighting what is happening to Scotland under this useless clique currently in charge of representing us.
The downside being that it highlights even more just how useless our Scottish Government is under the NuSNP due to the Tyranny of Sturgeon the Selfie Queen and her Vichy Government
I think we were hearing what so may of us know to be true, and said with scant regard for the niceties – and that is the way it should be. We are in dire straits now, and pussyfooting around language and people’s misplaced sensibilities is a waste of time and effort. Like Gareth, I believe that this ‘blood and soil’ c**p is racist and anti Scottish. What is English Nationalism if it’s not ‘blood and soil’ nationalism? At least ours doesn’t seek to exploit and dominate others, and will never do so unless we succumb to such arrogance as a Scottish version of ‘Rule Britannia’, etc. The German blut und boden meant merely patriotism until it was hi-jacked to explain Hitler and Nazism. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the expression except in the way that it has been hi-jacked to be used for a purpose for which it was never intended. It was in circulation way before Hitler and the Nazis state, and, if anything, the way in which is was distorted by Hitler and his henchmen, it more resembles imperialism than anything else, and chimes more with ‘Lebensraum’ (living space), yet another imperial tenet, than with any Scottih Nationalism.
Oved the webcast … but Still waiting to hear the proper discussion on the ferries and why its not been implemented ect …maybe start with that instead of letting prefered guests burn the time away 👍🏴
Don’t take this the wrong way but??!
Why do I need to visit a blog conversation between four “retired” people giving up their own time to research and to campaign in order to hear real genuine passion for the Independence of my country?
Why are those elected to represent us in Holyrood and at Westminster so lacking in drive to put forward our Right to Self Determination?
Can someone who still votes for the NuSNP explain the lack of passion, drive and purpose so evident now in comparison to that displayed in the podcast.
All they have to do is speak with passion about their Nation. I honestly cannot fathom why they entered into the fight for Independence in the first place.
MPs and MSPs – hang your heads in shame for letting us down without even putting up a fight – You were elected to fight for US, not to protect Sturgeon a her cult.
Is the salary and pension worth it?
Great discussion, lads. So many points at issue were raised. One thing I want someone in the Scottish government, preferably Nicola Sturgeon herself, to do, is give just one example of a country anywhere, at any time, that won its independence by acting as the SG does – just one will suffice. What country, or former colony of any of the empires, managed to extricate itself by doing so ompletely the bidding of the oppressor or the colonial monster? By fawning and salivating over people who actually made it their specific business to ensure that independence and sovereignty were stifled and crushed?
Then, I want her to explain, again with reference to any other country on the planet, why almost every cultural/economic/educational/environmental, etc. top position is in the hands of someone from furth of Scotland. We’re not talking here about a few jobs to refresh the economic ‘gene pool’; we are talking about almost every single top position of influence in Scotland that carry large salaries and access to government?
I listened recently to some representatives of the trans lobby in Scotland lecturing and hectoring as per, and, lo and behold, the accents were predominantly, if not all, English. Is GRA reform yet another gift, like wholesale opposition to independence, from our southern neighbours who have moved north? If we don’t get a move on, on independence, it will be too late for any peaceful moves in that direction. Our SNP politicians are mendacious con merchants, and are caught out regularly now. If they are not actually doing the bidding of Westminster straight from the horse’s mouth, they are enabling Westminster domination in Scotland in myriad other ways.
Nobody but a fool thought that the Supreme Court’s rulings would ever do otherwise than chime with Westminster’s English-style sovereignty, and thousands have been wasted yet again by the SG in being able to say to the Scottish people: “See, we told you so”. We knew, Nicola Sturgeon. We knew how it would pan out. You don’t have to give us a floor show to prove it, and you certainly did not need to spell out to those of us who see through the facade of inertia and unspeakable stupidity that the SG displays at every available opportunity, to understand that you will never, ever actually do anything that means something to the people of Scotland who have put their trust in you.
You have destroyed the SNP. You are all a disgrace to the party of independence. You are a disgrace to the many, many people who gave their all – ordinary people as well as politicians of the past – to take us to 2014 and government. You have betrayed them all. The one thing that all political representatives must show is non-partisanship: all must be treated equally. The working-class Scots-speaking and Gaelic-speaking majority, the ones most likely to be poor and needing your help, have been left to fend for themselves, SNP government, while you fawn over and pander to, middle-class prejudice and privileged youthful, vacuous narcissism born out of never having heard the word, NO in their puff, except when it resounded throughout the land in 2014.
I really pity those who still insist that the SNP leadership, MSPs and MPs are actually doing anything to bring us to independence, and who berate people like yourselves, Roddy, Iain, Gareth and Alf, who know what is going on and who try to get through to the people. Never, in the history of the planet, was a country so blighted by self-serving me-ists and careerists and self-serving narcissists. I believe it was the Brahan Seer who supposedly wept, when looking into Scotland’s future. With his all-seeing eye, he probably couldn’t quite articulate the shame of the state of his compatriots in that future Scotland, or the ways in which they actively sought their chains. We know. We are living it.
Sturgeon and her tartan taliban troops are craven cowards when it comes to opposing or challenging ANYTHING put out by WM but they are so angry , arrogant and totally bullying when it comes to their favourite woke policies
People were responding to Alex Salmond”s encouragement when he asked them to GIVE the SNP their vote in the hope that ALBA could win seats in HR and hold Sturgeon”s feet of clay to the fire , but being the narcissistic amoral individual she is she took that as a sign of weakness and continued to demonise and denigrate him and carry on with her spurious claims of guilty assisted by her willing unionist cohorts in the MSM
Alex Salmond must know by now the determination this (I hesitate to call them a person) human?? has to completely and utterly destroy his character , reputation and ability to interact with other people , she has made it her quest to destroy the person irrespective of the damage and destruction it will cause to him , his family , or his friends , the HATRED this lunatic holds for AS will never diminish , so I call upon Mr Salmond release the information you hold on Sturgeon and her lunatic cohorts and SAVE Scotland and yourself from this deranged narcissist
Again Lorna a passion filled comment of where we are and where we will remain if it is up to the NSNP DAE nuthin party , the only part in your comment I disagree with is where you say ” I really pity those ,continued) I don’t and have never pitied brain dead fools who WILL NOT look at the evidence of someone’s TREASON .
I despise their stupidity that is impacting the rest of us and causing HARM to certain members of OUR society , I cannot look at them as independence supporters to me they are sycophantic nikla cultists
An excellent show, Roddy. How refreshing it is to hear knowledgeable and experienced activists who are both equipped and willing to opine passionately outwith the staid vocabulary of what, for far too long, has passed for Scottish political debate.
Thank you Josef we appreciate all the kind comments expressed here. We are happy in our own way to do what we can to keep the flame of Scottish independence at least flickering.

Interesting article on the protocol
Sturgeon and her tartan taliban troops are craven cowards when it comes to opposing or challenging ANYTHING put out by WM but they are so angry , arrogant and totally bullying when it comes to their favourite woke policies
