Scotland: Hold my beer!

Brilliant front page from The National. Doing what no other UK newspaper or TV channel would dare contemplate. That being to publish the truth.

Be in no doubt, Starmer is a despicable human being. A truly horrible man. Conniving, duplicitous, bigoted and lest we forget, vehemently anti-Scottish.

Kenny McLean should be nowhere near a football, let alone a football pitch. Lazy, slow, tactically inept and thick as mince.
But then again, Steve Clarke, that fine spotter of exeptional footballing talent such as Grant Hanley, just so happens to be the Scotland manager.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ. Despite the whole world knowing the English education system is a basket case, Labour seems intent on making it even worse. This time by ranking it by cost. Words fail me.

Thanks for proving my point. 👏

If you think Starmer's Labour is not connected to this, you are either:
Deluded
Ignorant
Poorly read
Easily led
Devoid of any critical thinking skills
Or perhaps all five? Take your pick.

Scotland, you have been warned.
Be under no illusion, this is what inhumane scumbags like Farage and Starmer are working towards - sociopathic cowards arresting 6 year olds.

Get us tae fvck out the UK. Pronto.

Arresting 6 year olds.

Every goal is my favourite. Every single one. Indeed, any pain inflicted on an organisation built on bigotry, untold ignorance, subvervise pro-Union politics and a sickening loyalty to an unelected family of lizards is but a joy to behold.

de Valera was no hero. Quite the opposite. That being a corrupt, far-right, christian fundamentalist who throughout his time in office gave his approval for the Church to commit the most horrific of human rights abuses on thousands of Irish citizens.

And if you know your history....

20 mins into the Scotland Greece game and it's clearly evident Steve Clarke is an atrocious coach.
FFS, he's now been in charge of this fine group of players for six years and the team as a tactical unit has not advanced one jot.

This is becoming a bit of a habit for Bob MacIntyre. And more power to him.

The latest Norstat poll for the Times shows a sustained lead for Yes in #Indyref2 voting intention. Even with the published 2014 vote weighting Yes has a 6 point lead. But if we reweight based on current (rather than fantasy) demographics, Yes has a 13 point lead.

Some of the abuse Rory McIlroy and rest of the European Ryder Cup team are having to endure is the worst I've ever heard at a sporting event. Feck me, it's truly horrific.

Bryson DeChambeau is an incredibly dense, self-absorbed narcissist. Ergo, he's a prick.

That's it. That's the post.

Bethpage has certainly attracted the lion's share of New York's knuckle-dragging MAGA scumbags.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements.

That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British.

I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

At today's Ryder Cup presser, it was pointed out to Bob MacIntyre that Trump took great pride in his Scots heritage, following which Bob was then asked what he thought about Trump's visit to Bethpage tomorrow?

Bob's response: "He's just another spectator."

Bob MacIntyre is a feckin legend.

Yesterday in Geneva something occurred that the British State thought for 300 years would never happen. For the first time ever an audience of international delegates heard the truth about Scotland's true status as colony (as defined by the UN) misrepresented as a 'voluntary partnership' by the UK.

For centuries, the English establishment has ridiculed and crudely characatured the citizens of Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
But like a fading D list celeb staring at the mirror - caked in cheap make-up and cheeks pumped with silicon - the reality of life at the top being over is all too evident.

Journalists and Management at BBC Scotland howl about "unity" and the Union as if their bosses in London would piss on them if they were on fire - clinging to orders like a drunk clings to a broken bottle, convinced the shards are still good for something.

Concern grows over BBC Reform coverage ahead of Holyrood election

THERE has long been concern over how much the BBC has been focusing on Reform UK and Nigel Farage, but over the last week the spotlight on the issue…
