Left voices, unfiltered, unedited, Ungagged.
By Willie Miller’s Moustache (@williemillersM1 on Twitter/X) I went on a massive “everything is fucked and we have no way of influencing” it rant the other day. I had been drinking, obvs and I was expanding on my time since I stopped sending the SNP money in early 2020. We had won an enormous fuck […]
Only a referendum is going to fairly represent the people in terms of votes. Humza Yousaf has previously indicated his preference for building the movement until it’s impossible to ignore us. We don’t hold all the cards there though and nothing is guaranteed, so if a majority of seats at the next election is enough […]

The obstacles to our independence are not all about media-led rabid unionism, or floating voters. We have a problem within the movement, something really toxic. It resembles a kind of auto-immune disease, a drive to eat away at the host and make barren the soil it depends on; the movement itself. The dreaded anniversary of […]
Part of me hates this phoney populist bollocks, (see this https://www.thenational.scot/news/23727982.snp-members-urged-shape-strategy-pre-conference-meeting/) not least because a significant section of the membership base of almost all political parties are moonhowlers. Go to a meeting if you don’t believe me. However, I think it’s a really simple issue. The starting point should be the truth. The SNP should […]
Donald Rumsfeld has been trying to kill me for years, what with ensuring that after the Irish stopped bombing Britain, he and his Whitehouse gang introduced a new set of disgruntled bombers, and of course his lacing Diet Coke, vitamin tablets, toothpaste, cereal and chewing gum with his aspartame. Having said that, of course Rishi […]
The issue of monarchism v republicanism is not a side issue, something that can be left for later while we grapple with the economics or even the principle of self determination. It’s at the heart of the matter, the glue that bind us with the union, that seals us into our class system, poisons and […]

I’m of the left and know that Independence is the only direction the Tories and their press; New Labour and their tories are leading us […]
