That I wouldn't know, but edging on an apologist by the sound of it. Just another establishment shill out to discredit @zackpolanski.bsky.social because he's a threat.

Robert Peston @itvpeston.bsky.social just said that Israel had committed 'atrocities' as 'lots of countries do'. He spluttered around the word 'genocide' but couldn't pair it with 'Israel'. Robert, you are complicit.

There's something very seriously wrong when it's not headline news that the far right are out of control, slashing boats etc. We need to see immediate 'full force of the law' serious jail time and a big fuck-off warning that they'll be in very serious trouble. The BBC are complicit

Yep. The Trump sycophancy was absolutely nauseating. Why are so many folk such a poor judge of character? You could see slimy Starmer the opportunist coming for miles.

like Blair, and like Blair, it won't be long before the pretence of diplomacy becomes bald investment. He talks of wanting to continue to support good work with women and girls. Having leaned so heavily into the far-right camp that it has virtually toppled into full on fascism, that legacy 2/

Starmer knows that the only shred of praise ever to reach him by the media and their chattering monkeys was around international issues. A supporter of Ukraine (no brainer) and enabler of thousands of arrests of Palestinian supporters, this is nothing short of a sham. He wants to take refuge there 1

Are there any documentary makers out there who could counteract the BBC1 Disclosures programme that played down the effect of the far-right and made a tabloid mash up of issues painting drug dealing in a racist light. Their conclusion of course, fulfilled the title, that Glasgow is a dangerous city.

Sad to hear you continue the blinkered narrative ' a big bad starmer did it' Labour will never recover until thr entitlement and bitterness fade and the policies reflect the needs of the people. 2024 was a mistaken belief that we had to vote Labour here tp get the Tories out

A small number of fash gathered in Glasgow Green, to find themselves massively outnumbered by a huge, peaceful counter protest. We were subjected to indecent exposure of fash bums and Nazi salutes, before the great protectors of women and children broke away to a thwarted attempt to reach the mosque

Just sat through an excruciating 20 minute repetitive interview with Geissler and Offord waiting for him, anyone, to ask what is anti establishment about making billionaires richer or even just hanging out with the super rich. Or getting more bbc airtime over the years than any other party.

The contempt for 50%+ of the electorate and the absolute entitlement of them is now laughable. A bunch of deluded folk who think our GE votes count towards a PM, voted for useless Labour grifters in 2024 to get the Tories out and stupidly may do again to keep fash out but Scottish labour are LOSERS.

if it's palatable. Also, controversially I think the SNP majority thing was cynically performative t b ignored. At a trend of 50:50 Yes/No we have an open mandate to build a solid campaign on. Where's the SIC etc etc. Shame Common weal went down the rabbit hole. We need to be talking strategy now.

It will be hard. Post indyref wld be a scrum but we need to own our successes and failures. Tbh i have a different take on mandate via election. For a start the polls put independence as an issue to be rated, thus often far down after the basics. It's a cup to put all of those things in and see 1/

I'm surprised you'd even compare them. Brexit was 'driven' by a pandora's box of racism. Indyref had its bams but there was real discussion, arts and literature movement within movement. Ordinary folk found a voice. Energised is good. Brainwashed is bad. I for one wld accept No with a fair campaign

💚 Val she/her 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🇪🇭 @scribblingval.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

What no campaign? That doesn't make sense. Are you mixing up a campaign of misinformation/dogma, with a chance to decide your country's future? It will never lie down untill we do this. It will be extremely different from 2013/14 and fraught with horrendous desperation all round but it won't go away

of around 50:50 these days yes/no. I still think we'd likely lose in a snap referendum tbf but we're talking starting point. But hey, you really have to be someone who sees Scotland as a country in danger of being dragged into fascism by its neighbour, rather than a region of the UK

It's taught me (what I already knew tbf) that our votes barely register in UK elections. However, you're describing a vicious circle. We started off with around 28% Yes in 2014. The campaign energised the debate. How can you declare a 'settled will' without one? We're on a trend 1/
