Imposing a no-fly zone over Ukraine sets us on the road to a nuclear war with Russia. Cold War 2.0 puts an indefinite pause on the campaign for Scottish independence and once again puts us on the frontline of a possible Russian nuclear attack.

The enforcement of an air exclusion zone is not merely a matter of having the upperhand in the airspace subject to the exclusion (‘air superiority’),...

"The villagers of Beregsurány, like everyone over Europe welcoming Ukrainian refugees, are to be applauded. Even celebrated. People fleeing Ukraine — human beings — men, women, and children, young and old, able and disabled, are in a desperate situation. They are escaping violence and the threat of death, their lives are being demolished around them, they are cold, they are frightened, and...

Social media is the problem. 'We have created tools that are ripping apart the fabric of how society works.'

Social media is the problem. I don’t blame ‘Politicalicious,’ ‘A Douglas,’ ‘Mel,’ or any of the other Twitter users who, without knowing anything about me, have made it their business to discredit …

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish independence is stuck between the hopeless and the hapless, driving us all into the lap of another inglorious failure.

There can be no denying that the failure of the SNP to secure or even move us closer to independence resulted in the creation of the Alba Party. Before even Mr Salmond announced his return to the p…

'Settlers and Colonists': How language and narrative matter in the discussion of Scotland's independent future.

‘Settlers and colonists,’ in the context of the Scottish independence debate, is a language which makes a number of presuppositions; that Scotland is an English colony, that Scotland is subject to …

Blogger James Kelly has 'a theory about Jeggit!' It turns out he just really hates the 'stink of Fenian.'

What is his deal — really? What really gets on James Kelly’s goat is the stink of Fenian. The Orange sash is not merely an artefact of open anti-Catholic sectarianism, it is a paracite of the mind …

'So, this is where I stand in this debate. I am neither one nor the other — exactly. I am a trans ally and a committed supporter of women’s rights. But I am not uncritical of gender theory or indeed the misguided theory of biological essentialism.'

Clearly this is a subject the internet has opinions about. Since 25 October 2020, when I first engaged in this discussion, I have lost somewhere...

When are we going to realise that the British system is like quicksand? The more we struggle, the deeper we sink, the more stuck we become.

This is how loyalism in Britain works. It does not need you to love it, want it, care for it. The super-rich British establishment has all the power because it has all the money. Democracy has no c…

National belonging is not in fact native to the human condition. Nationalism is a psycho-political development with which both Wallace and Bruce were unfamiliar. When we ask how these heroes of our…

'In its efforts to use the pandemic to save the state, Britain has only gone and guaranteed its own demise. Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!'

But there is a darker, more sinister, side to this kind of nostalgia-propaganda – when it employs real people as instruments of this mythology. Again, to some extent, this is something British prop…

🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 An Irish response to Cameron Archibald's cowardly suggestion that Scotland must not be like Ireland, must not defend its right to be free.

Christopher McEleny’s response – ‘I do not need a lecture on Irish history from you’ – was, one supposes, the best possible reply to this level of stupidity. McEleny had commented that a century ag…

At times like this, with more frustration than fulfilment, it is east to lose heart. But if we want independence then we must continue to engage in the struggle.

There are, of course, people telling bloggers like me to calm down, that the polls are in our favour – which they are, but the polls don’t matter when we don’t have a party in government in Scotlan…

Britain can threaten Europe all it likes, but this show of force from the Royal Navy only exposes to the world that the Westminster regime is led by a shower of gobshites.

There is no need to start digging bomb shelters at the bottom of the garden. This is not, as some have suggested, going to lead to World War III. Regardless of its bloated opinion of its capabiliti…
