What an embarrassingly pathetic thing to celebrate. I'd expect no less from this pitiful little island.

It's time for Scotland to leave the UK.

Since I was a kid I would look at the government and think, “This is so broken and we just need to re-write the whole constitution and start over from scratch.” Like, there are bits that are good, but they’re wrapped in so much garbage that is only there because of some ridiculous sense of tradition.

I think that’s why I have supported an independent Scotland from the very beginning, when I first moved here. It’s a chance to do exactly that. We can build a new country, suited to the 21st century. I was so disappointed in 2014 when so many people couldn’t see or understand the potential they threw away.

MADE IT TO THE COVER OF A MAGAZINE

iScot is probably the best print media we have in the independence movement. Of course I’d say that. I write for it, but I am being serious. I wanted to contribute to it because I thought it the best. What makes it the best isn’t necessarily the quality - although that it good. It’s that it is owned and published in Scotland by people who have the interests of the movement at heart. They take Scottish independence seriously. There are no strings to English or American owners or multinational news media corporations. This one is ours.

Making it to the cover wasn’t a conscious ambition, but now that it has happened... well, I feel like it should have been one. “Chuffed.” That’s the word. I’m proper chuffed with myself. I’m begging to feel that bit more confident about #ScotRef now. We are - despite a few knots here and there - just about ready, media-wise, to take on the giant again.

I’m begging to feel that bit more confident about #ScotRef now.

We can’t leap at this either. But between now and the starting gun we can focus on improving the media we have started to build. There’s a bit of a way to go, but I am persuaded that that is now not as far from us as when we first started thinking about a second crack.

Priorities  

On a crumbling wall, in a ruined office, a Failed First Minister clings the the words that remind her every day - just what is important, what are her main priorities...

Its not Schools, Health, the Economy, Policing, Welfare, Roads, or anything else like that - its Foreign Policy..!  And Especially, the proud struggling people of Catalonia.

A truly transcendent place!  Si?
