Campaigning on the doors for the SNP is about to get a whole lot more interesting. Peter Murrell has now been charged and I await his trial with interest.
Without commenting directly on whether he is guilty or not, or whether more charges will follow, I note from some of the of the more loyal SNP acolytes a distinct unwillingness to deal with reality. For far too long the membership was dominated by carrot-happy die-hards, unwilling to consider that there were problems in the party. They were happy to shout others down, driving more reasonable people away to rival parties or out of politics entirely.
To read some of the comments on (for example) Wee Ginger Dug, you can barely scroll a few inches without finding folk who are still willing to to try to pin this whole thing on MI5, who believe the arrest is being done to justify Police Scotland expenditure, and the timing is to deflect from a certain Tory who was caught in a particularly effective honeytrap. What’s worse, is that despite the SNP being unable to produce any of the ring-fenced cash, there are still people willing to contribute to defence funds.
What happened to the Yes campaigners of 2014? Where are the critical, grounded voices of a decade ago? Have they all taken some strange drugs which have forced them into a permanent state of denial and inability to reasonably and rationally assess Scottish politics anymore? The biggest obstacle to our independence is no longer the UK state. It is ourselves.

I think we are fine and that is where the hope lies. It is the ruling clique and its servant weasels who are the c**ts here. The general punter was told in no uncertain terms to get off Sturgeons’s lawn. An elite sprung up rapidly. decided to sell us out in a hundred different ways and it despises us. The press keeps us apart from knowledge of each other. Our universities are deranged run by the deranged. The Quality Polis are a joke. Our country is corrupt run by thieves.
That said I am far from despairing and will never give up on my land. The arrest of the Sturgeon clique should be a turning point. I have my doubts.

I don’t see things as fine. The SNP membership has permitted the party to become a mess which cannot be reformed without a complete removal of the incumbents and their hingers-oan.
You are right. This should be a turning point, but the happy-clappers aren’t for turning.

i agree things arent fine. At all. I am keeping my faith in the people. We havent changed that much in 10 years. The entire political class, every university principle and board member. Etc etc etc can get tae fuck frankly. Removed from their positions. Physically if necessary. Can it happen? I thibk it can.
For example. I can understand how a small percentage of the population can join a cult andbelieve in something harmful. How does gender ideology which is child abuse in my opinion get accepted in the corridors of power simultaneously across 50 countries? It is incomprehensible. This scandal will blow up and remove the people who are poisoning everything they do not believe in.
Fuck knows how i missed this form of elitism developing over the years but i did.

Perhaps the healing/decolonisation process required within our deeply corrupt Civil society can only start with a shock. Polis Scotland march into the parliament building and clap the cuffs on Sturgeon and her cronies and drag them spittin’ and screchin’ into the back of the van. Something along those lines.
