1/3 My posts about Scottish Independence & our position within an unequal union, its policies being dictated to us, edicts framed within their convenieny laws applied over what we & our politicians are permitted to do may seem overly zealous. That is not the point. Cont.

It's 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆. You won't hear it from the BBC in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, but pass rates are up at every level, the poverty related attainment gap is closing further, and a record number of university places for Scots students have been awarded - a proud day for Scotland’s education system.

Airports in England. Fuck me, it's lke being dropped into an alternative universe. A universe in which books have never existed, schools never built, personal hygiene a distant dream and Kouros the preferred eau de parfum of the terminally stupid.

Saturday Morning Philosophy. A few thoughts. There's a great irony listening to our fans at Celtic Park sing about political and human rights abuses across the world yet remain silent on the most critical issue affecting themselves and their families. That being independence for Scotland.

That there is no Scottish golfer competing at this week's Women's Open is the most devastating indictment ever of the Board and Executive Team at Scottish Golf. Indeed, with cronyism and bewildering incompetence running free and unchecked, the entire lot should be dismissed with immediate effect.

1/3 Unionism has had over 300 years to address the inequalities that exist across our lands. They have not fixed those issues because they do not want to. Not then, not now, not ever. The only way that we can grow as a nation is with full & absolute autonomy, where our Cont.

Lots of media charlatans and hangers-on now professing to be experts on ancient Greek literature and mythology. As if the daft cvnts have actually read the Iliad and Odyssey. Wait til they start banging on about Joyce and Ulysses and Leopold Bloom having a dangerwank on the strand. It'll be epic!

They promised much, yet delivered little for Scotland after the 2014 Referendum. Instead, they move to block Independence, deny our peoples the right of Sovereignty, cast down our legislation, and refuse our democratic voice. They are not to be trusted. Ever!

1/2 Remember that book by William Golding we got handed in Higher English class? The one about a group of entitled public school boys failed attempt to govern on an isolated island, where food & fuel are increasingly difficult to find, Cont.

Approached by Grant Moir post round, DeChambeau demanded they go back out to the 5th hole, where he tried and failed to defend himself. When Moir correctly assessed a penalty, DeChambeau went mental. He also threatened to withdraw. A behaviour pattern of someone who clearly knows he cheated.

The R&A and in particular, Grant Moir have been reasonably strong in assessing a two shot penalty on DeChambeau. That said, for Moir to say it was unintentional is ridiculous. DeChambeau deliberately broke the rules. The evidence is indisputable. #TheOpen

Smylie Kaufman of the Golf Channel now at the spot where DeChambeau cheated. Trying to and doing an awful job of recreating what happened. Meanwhile, an Elvis impersonator in the background is belting out Suspicious Minds. 🤣 #TheOpen

After last night's pumping, dignity appears to be the last thing in the thoughts of the English nation. Thomas Tuchel, roughhouse Argentina tactics, the referee, Argentina fans, Scotland fans, Irish fans, Las Malvinas. Everyone and everything getting the blame aside from their shite fitba team. 🤣

Bild

BBC, Mail, Express and the rest of our neighbour's far right media are losing their shit over the Malvinas sign at last night's game. All while conveniently ignoring those English thugs waving a Falkland Islands flag in the face of Argentinian fans.

Since the introduction of the football world rankings in 1992, England has defeated just one Top Ten nation at the World Cup. Or to put it another way, they've just had one victory over a top tier team in 34 years. This despite numeorus World Cup draws being heavily stacked in their favour.
