What can we say about a national party elite 'co-opted by colonialism' and the 'devolved' colonial assembly in which they sit that is already full of colonialists as well as colonial mindsets, Peter?

Fanon explains the reality thus:

"When the British Government decides to bestow a few more seats in the National Assembly of Kenya upon the African population, it needs plenty of effrontery or else a complete ignorance of facts to maintain that the British Government has made a concession. Is it not obvious that it is the Kenyan people who have made the concession? The colonized peoples, the peoples who have been robbed, must lose the habits of mind which have characterized them up to now."

Fanon added that this "treason is not national, it is social", and we might say psychological too, among certain elements of the native population.

We didn't listen when the Tory's where saying in every election debate from 2015 to 2021 that the SNP didn't want a referendum and because of our own stupidity Scotland paying the price.

Another mistake we made was believing Sturgeon was a leader when she wasn't, if to add insult further, some actually believe Mr Swinney is a nice man. The same man who just lied to win a majority of seats in order to protect the one who's no leader. Its easier to break wind then educate people to how bad the SNP really is even with the mountain of evidence against the leadership.

Just look at two people Swinney and Sturgeon and then take a trip over to Wings and look at the mountain of evidence and then ask yourself do you really want Independence with either of them in charge or the SNP, if you loved Scotland you'd come to the same conclusion I have Scotland is a banana republic and the SNP is cancer spreading throughout Scotland.

I have constantly asked myself how can anyone who had half a population supporting them mess it up, if someone had said after the referendum in 2026 we'd still be in this union and support for the SNP would be at 29% and Independence at 55% I would have said don't be daft that's impossible and yet its true. Which you have to conclude everything that's happened has been done by design and its all done to a handful of people Swinney, Sturgeon and a small group of others.

We hear a lot of rotten things about Salmond about how he used to shout and ball at those under his command as it happens when your a leader this is part of the job and if you don't like it then do something about it and yet those who complained didn't do it when he was leader no they waited until he was down, kind of sums them up doesn't it.

None of these people past or present in the SNP could light a candle to what Salmond done or achieved.

Angela Constance, said John Swinney is the best FM Scotland never had it made me laugh and I though shouldn't have a say in that.

I'm Sorry John Swinney doesn't do anything for me apart from when he comes on the telly goes off.

Its simple the 2026 Holyrood election was about protecting Sturgeon and Swinney that's been done for now, Rev thinks otherwise.

You can predict what's going to happen while the SNP is still running Scotland and the movement 1 a Westminster election promise on Indy but nothing will happen after the election 2 the next Holyrood election in 2031 Swinney will stand down but it would have been thought on Indyref2 again but the new leader will say he needs time to formulate a strategy on Indyref2 while here comes 2036, the question is how long are we going to be conned by the party and the people running it?

The only people who can make a change is the SNP membership and the only advise they are taken and listening to, is The National, Riddock, POP, DUG etc sooner or later even the membership has got to realize how glaikit they are, I hope and rid us of the unionist in the SNP.

Excellent Peter. Now why don't you ask the National to let you do that comment on the front page? It's essential we get the word out on what is happening here and now in Scotland. We are being weakened and the SNP with their 'secret plan' are doing nothing.

* Mossman...silence fron SNP

*Grangemouth...ditto

*Chinese 5 BILLION INVESTMENT in the the Highlands..stopped by Labour government as a supposed 'security risk'..but Chinese investments allowed all over england....nuclear plants..airports...super Chines embassy in London.... Vince Cable confirms the primary reason

it was stopped because it's in the Highlands and not Hertfordshire..(and Cable no friend of ours.)....where are the SNP?

If the UK is so concerned about security why are Chinese firms allowed to invest all over england and why is the UK government standing back when it comes to Scotland. I think we all know. And what the hell are the SNP doing?

I regard this as a direct ATTACK on Scotland. What is the SNP actually doing and I don't mean bleating to burn'em..to me this should be a declaration of UDI ..we are being insidiously attacked..weakened by our hostile occupiers...we have to demand the SNP retaliate.I despair when I look at Swiney and his gang of undead.. who are supposed to be there for Scotland.

The front page of the National today is brilliant..yet I was the only one picking it up and the pile of Nationals had been put down on the bottom shelf..out of sight...not now..they are on the top shelf..still no takers.

The Scots have well adapted to the 'MALIGNANT REALITY ' that is the UK government. And things can only get worse. Scorched earth policy in full flow and we have a lily livered bunch of no hopers whose tactics are..'wait and see.'.it may already be too late.

If the Scots don't see what is happening then they deserve all they get.

For OUR Scotland and her feartie weans.

swinny is a tra itor to the people of Scotland. The snp are tra itors to the Scottish people.

Could it be arranged for him to be doorstepped EVERYWHERE he went. Or at least the big events he is going to. We need to make him squirm. We need to make him hate his job.

Swinney is rather well protected. He is effectively shielded from all criticism. The National has a piece on the first hundred days of Plaid Cymru. I've seen no mention of Swinney's first hundred days' promises lying in tatters.

There has been little doubt that there has been an increase in both the volume and intensity of comments expressing dissatisfaction with the total lack of progress on Scotland's Cause over the last dozen years.

However, I guess an answer of 'Yes' to your question will depend on whether those that have been gulled, conned, and led up the garden path onto the road to nowhere have the courage to recognise and admit that they have been so tricked.

I reckon the SNP undead have 'adapted ' to the malignant swiney and friends and will be afraid to stand up for the nation...sadly. Good comment by you.

I was at a judicial hearing yesterday and they made it in NO uncertain terms did not want to be dragged into a case that due process were possibly implications not fully thought through And perhaps westminster got it wrong

Without other implications !

In short they are BRICKING IT on the implications……..?
