Catching Up –

I have been playing a bit of catch-up the last few weeks because I have been busy, tired, and in some ways can’t be bothered as I sometimes think I am living in some dystopian nightmare that people either can’t see, or refuse to see.

So the Tory imposed PM Rishi Sunak braved a visit north to impose his will on his colonized sycophants – and he might as well have quoted Jean Luc Picard from Star Trek when he said

“Scotland already is the most powerful devolved assembly anywhere in the world. “So all this talk of needing any more powers is pretty normal, right, because the SNP and Scottish Government don’t even use the powers they already have, so we should stop talking about anymore.

He kinda made the argument for independence when he noted that “We believe decisions should be made as close to people as possible, but then he spoilt it with this colonized delusional pish and finished the sentence with “So what we believe is we can devolve power to local communities, and that’s what we’ve done.” Anyone falling for this shit really needs their heads looked at. He even praised his colonial administrators Douglas Ross and Alistair Jack, power for the course I know as Sunak knows, like we know, the both of them are as much use as a chocolate teapot.

There really isn’t much to say about our colonizer dropping by other than it was noted that on his return to the big smoke this resulted in out-of-shape London Police Officers having to run alongside his motorcade, must think he is the President,  and shouting “out of the way please” to disperse people from the road. The video of the entire incident was posted on social media and users slammed it as “over the top”.

Now this may well seem over the top to the voters who matter in London but they need to understand where Sunak was coming from, do they not realise how desperate he must have been to jump in the shower and burn his clothes after his journey north to his dirty jock colony, honestly they just don’t get how badly the Scottish stink has to be washed off.

However, the YES community needs to take heed from the fictional Picard too

We’ve made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they’ve done!

Now Lesley Riddoch splits opinion, and her latest article in the SNP Fanzine has united both sides of the SNP argument but to be fair she has been taken out of context with the headline. She has been accused of telling the YES movement and SNP members to move on from the shambles that is the SNP but that is not really the point of the argument, she writes The Yes movement needs the SNP to produce a party conference in October that’s totally different in character from the corporate snooze-fests that have prevailed within the party for far too long.

Now while I don’t have any issue with the criticism that Riddock / Joyce and a lot of other journalists have received due to their silence during this period for the SNP, that silence from journalists, senior members of the party, helped create this mess and their damascene conversion to the truth is galling to many of us who were trying to bring issues to the fore for years but she is correct when she also says

As the main party pursuing independence from a British state riddled with double standards, corruption and privilege – we need SNP eyes back on the prize. Leaders, ministers, MPs, MSPs, voters and other Yessers.

While I have no personal faith that the SNP have learned any lessons, all the same plebs are still in the place they were before the meltdown, the members of the SNP, or the ones who don’t live on carrots, need to at least try. If their efforts don’t get rid of the Robertsons of the world, the Oswalds, and the Wisharts, then let the party die.

Anyway, I could keep banging on about how broken Scotland is, and the broken, deluded, dysfunctional England that we have been colonized by but I won’t. Here is a photo of a dandelion from my walk this morning at 5.45am. The walks I do are about health, I have uncontrolled high blood pressure, and believe me, I don’t like getting up at 5am every day, seven days a week to walk 4.5 miles, sometimes I have to walk earlier but I must admit even though I try to think of an excuse not to do the walk, even though I am tired and old, it does set me up for the day in many ways and I suppose being tired is better than a heart attack.
