Month: February 2014

Three shots, three goals

Speymouth February 28, 2014

Let any dispute be over. Wings Over Scotland has the best readers. We’re not taking all the credit, of course. Yes Glasgow and Labour For Independence were already much of the way to their targets. But we’re super-proud of you for the Borders campaign – they started the day with …read more

Get your feet back on the ground

Speymouth February 28, 2014

A chance comment on Twitter this afternoon gave us a fun thought – with over 230,000 readers a month, could we get a song to No.1 in the charts by ourselves now, as both publicity and a rallying call for the Yes movement? We got lots of suggestions for songs …read more

I’ve got a job at last! Blogging to end immediately…I’m hunting out my suit…Listen to this – BBC Scotland wants a public affairs adviser, someone with intimate knowledge of Scottish politics, who understands broadcasting and can advise senior management at PQ. It’s made for me…

They’re advertising for a good communicator …read more

Goosestep Foot Forward

Speymouth February 28, 2014

“Security state” fruitcake Rupert Sutton of the ultra neo-con Henry Jackson Society has an article on the puzzlingly named and indescribably dull Zionist blog Left Foot Forward, in which he attacks Moazzam Begg.

Sutton displays precisely the mind-set of the security state, that led GCHQ to intercept the webcam …read more

Feeling the Fear

Speymouth February 28, 2014

We’ve kept you waiting for this (at least, if you follow our Twitter account), but it’s worth it. An alert reader sent it to us last night, and it’s NOT one of our ever-popular spoofs. To the best of our knowledge it’s 100% genuine. That’s right – the latest desperate …read more

Love spreads

Speymouth February 28, 2014

We’re nowhere near done asking you for money in our second annual fundraiser yet. But with the original goal smashed to pieces in just 48 hours, we can afford to take a day off to direct you to a couple of other worthy pro-independence causes that could do with a …read more

The report states emphatically that S&P would expect Scotland to ‘benefit from all the attributes …read more
