Populism is all pervasive. It’s amusing…has bad hair and tin-foil hats. It has the Flat Earth Society, Covid Deniers and Chemtrails. It also radicalises people to think that transphobia is about women’s rights, that the pandemic is over, that vicious deportation policies are about targeting people smugglers, that the French and other foreigners are responsible […]

Escape Routes by Val Waldron
We are finally getting to grips with the solid fact of the matter: 2014 cannot be repeated. We need to find another way, or ways to move forward towards independence. On the day of the full release of the Sue Gray report and of Nicola Sturgeon’s marking point as longest serving FM I’ve never been […]
Defend Our Betters.
There is no need to slag the partying, brexiting, hard working Tories.
A Snapshot of 2021 by Val Waldron
‘Alexa give me a snapshot of 2021 without mentioning Covid’ Can I help? All of the events below were of course shot through with Covid, antivaxxers, restrictions, opposition and media undermining of the Scottish Government health message, oh, and big shouty businesses. It didn’t stop the world from turning though! In Search of Q We […]
Raging Not Hating by Val Waldron
No-one deserves or asks for violent death because someone else thinks you don’t deserve to live. If that were the case there would be a death penalty for women who walk home alone at night or for daring to pack up your family and meagre belongings and set out across the channel in a dinghy […]

It’s that time again, the anniversary of 18th September 2014. Comparing […]
It’s not just Nicola, they’re coming for all of us!
In 2014, the Unionists had little to fear from the Scottish independence campaign. Save one shocking poll showing, for the first time, a lead for Yes at the tail end of the referendum campaign, the Unionists enjoyed a healthy lead in the poll. Yet still they came at us with a tsunami of lies, propaganda, […]
Not My Grassroots by Val Waldron
Things have changed so radically between 2014 and now, that the independence movement is barely recognisable as the same animal. It has been impeded, infiltrated, interrupted, call it what you will, by a plague of misogynistic wreckers. A corner of the Yes movement is a stinking cesspit of bigotry, destruction, hate and treachery. A contaminated […]
Impeachment by Chloe McDermott
A successful impeachment would result in Trump being unable to run for President again. Something that would help us all sleep at night. The House Democrats are moving towards a second impeachment of Donald Trump for “incitement of insurrection” when Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol and forcefully stopped the confirmation of Joe Biden as […]
