This repugnant individual is a creature of the English media. They have platformed and promoted him for years and will do so with renewed vigour now that he is heading for Downing Street. Now’s the day and now’s the hour, Scotland, to get out before fascism takes control.
Great writing Mandy

As I sit outside writing, an Israeli drone is circling low overhead for an hour now in this entirely Christian area of Beirut.
All the refugee children who were playing football around me have been taken in by their parents.
But my thoughts today are with Alex Salmond and Moira.
You are certainly no hero Mike, small by name and small by nature. When the truth comes out about how the SNP tried to put Alex in prison on trumped up charges his reputation will be restored and yours forgotten!

Surprised to see Iain Macwhirter come out with a very pro Israel statement on Question Time last night perhaps he is listening to the views of his spouse Tiffany Jenkins friends in Spiked?!
This Thursday on Question Time, Fiona will be joined in Dundee by Jenny Gilruth, Ian Murray, Andrew Bowie, Wendy Chamberlain, and Iain Macwhirter

I think you might that Macwhirter’s views on Gaza which are distinctly pro-Israeli got him the gig over you!

Farewell Phillip I’m going to miss your little radio programme! When I was an MEP I chaired the Australian delegation and supported Aboriginal rights and annoyed Alexander Downer!

I used to sing him a song when I gave him a press release “ whoever thought of the Daily Mail? Who would do that to a tree!” Barnes was of course political editor of the Daily Mail and now he is director of the John Smith Institute ?!

Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus, so here's #SNL's take on that from Holy Week last year. Y'all could use a laugh, given this awful day. Be sure to watch the entire clip. It's stellar.
