By Willie Miller’s Moustache (@williemillersM1 on Twitter/X) I went on a massive “everything is fucked and we have no way of influencing” it rant the other day. I had been drinking, obvs and I was expanding on my time since I stopped sending the SNP money in early 2020. We had won an enormous fuck […]The post I’m my booze induced delirium, I’ve come up with...

Only a referendum is going to fairly represent the people in terms of votes. Humza Yousaf has previously indicated his preference for building the movement until it’s impossible to ignore us. We don’t hold all the cards there though and nothing is guaranteed, so if a majority of seats at the next election is enough […]The post Indyref Anniversary appeared first on Ungagged!.

Rutherglen and Hamilton West voter David McClemont seriously considered voting for the Labour Party until Starmer and Sarwar hijacked the party’s climb back from the depths that Blair and Brown’s New Labour had dragged it… As a lifelong supporter of Scottish independence, in 2019 I did something that I had never done before. I voted […]The post DON’T VOTE LABOUR appeared...

The obstacles to our independence are not all about media-led rabid unionism, or floating voters. We have a problem within the movement, something really toxic. It resembles a kind of auto-immune disease, a drive to eat away at the host and make barren the soil it depends on; the movement itself.  The dreaded anniversary of […]The post Autoimmunity Within the Independence Movement appeared...

“There are so many people”, he tells me. Cherubic faces congregate in the playground below.

Part of me hates this phoney populist bollocks, (see this thenational.scot/...eeting/)  not least because a significant section of the membership base of almost all political parties are moonhowlers. Go to a meeting if you don’t believe me. However, I think it’s a really simple issue. The starting point should be...

Donald Rumsfeld has been trying to kill me for years, what with ensuring that after the Irish stopped bombing Britain, he and his Whitehouse gang introduced a new set of disgruntled bombers, and of course his lacing Diet Coke, vitamin tablets, toothpaste, cereal and chewing gum with his aspartame.

The issue of monarchism v republicanism is not a side issue, something that can be left for later while we grapple with the economics or even the principle of self determination. It’s at the heart of the matter, the glue that bind us with the union, that seals us into our class system, poisons and […]The post Not My King by Val Waldron appeared first on Ungagged!.

My friend, Philip Richard Knobinson (writes under the silly name of Prick) has invited me to write a weekly column for Ungagged as I live in and rarely leave Scotland?

We knew their names, their faces, their stories. That made us feel connected to them. And that’s a key difference with coverage of refugees, who usually remain a nameless and faceless mass to us.   There has been much commentary in the past few days about the difference in media/public perception of the Titan tragedy […]The post Anonymity and Tragedy: why telling stories of the...
