My latest blog piece. The shameful anti-SNP hysteria of the British media in Scotland even spins good news into SNPbad as we saw this week with the media response to the news that the pass rate for exams in Scotland has increased for a second year. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/e...

Even good news is spun into SNPbad by the media in Scotland

It’s often said there are two kinds of people in the world, those who say the glass is half full, and those who say it’s half empty. This is in fact inaccurate as there is a third kind,…

There's 1. glass half full people 2. glass half empty people and 3. OMG that glass is about to shatter into 1000 pieces slashing my carotid artery and it's the SNP's fault, people. The anti-independence media in Scotland is exclusively staffed by type 3.

My latest blog piece, Burnham's mini bounce has less to do with Labour improving (spoiler alert it hasn't) and more to do with the immolation of Reform UK on a Clacton binfire of Farage's arrogance, greed and entitlement. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/01/b...

This week's comic strip is entitled 'The Inexplicable Rise Of Anas Sarwar' and is the Anasbot 900's statement on being given that seat in the House of Lords. gregmoodie.com/the-inexplic...

The Inexplicable Rise Of Anas Sarwar

Following a disastrous election result for Scottish Labour, branch manager Anas Sarwar stepped down and was inexplicably given a cabinet post in the Westminster government by new PM Andy Burnham, via ...

Charisma. Uhuh. youtu.be/KQ8V6Uot5ck

BBC Scotland just told viewers that Sarwar brought "charisma" to the post of leader of the Labour party in Scotland. Is this some different Anas Sarwar they're talking about? The real Sarwar ran a quasi-presidential Holyrood campaign so lacking in charisma it took Labour to its worst ever result.

Waiting for BBC Scotland to tell us in its reporting on Anas Sarwar's peerage that a couple of months ago he said he'd never accept a peerage and in 2022 said: "The House of Lords has no place in 21st century politics. It is unacceptable…to have unelected representatives wielding such power."

The Labour party's definition of a new direction Starmer was unmasked as an unprincipled charlatan within a couple of weeks after becoming prime minister Burnham has done it in a couple of days.

My reaction to the news that Labour in Scotland's failed branch manager Anas Sarwar has been allowed to fail upwards in a blatant example of political cronyism and will be buggering off to the Lords, tragically, he's not taking Jackie Baillie with him. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/07/21/l...

There's 4 predictable things about England in international football. 1. The deranged OTT hype and hysteria of the UK media. 2. The entitled demand that Scots support the England team. 3. The triumphalism when England wins. 4. The sour grapes when England loses. This is my sad face today.

Once on a visit to America many years ago I was asked what part of Norway I came from. I said, Glasgow. It's a bit to the south west of Oslo. And that's my reason for supporting Norway tonight.

I note that the frog faced one has never been able* to do constituency surgeries in Clacton citing 'security concerns' but is able to go to Devon at the drop of a tin foil hat to milk the murder of Ann Widdecombe when there's an actual murderer on the loose. *hasn't wanted

Is Arthur Fery back to being French now?

I despised Ann Widdicombe but no one deserves what happened to her. Yet it says so much about the hate and division far right politicians like her have created I was relieved to hear the suspect police are looking for is a white man and the "protecting women and girls" crowd won't be out rioting.

Ann Widdicombe was one of those Christians who thought the main teaching of Jesus was to be judgemental and cruel.

Reform UK's attack line against Count Binface boils down to - "He's not really an alien from Sigma IX with a bin for a head." Meanwhile, in proof that Reform UK is Farage's personal vanity project, staff and activists are being moved from the Manchester mayor campaign to help Nigel against a bin.

Even Scottish Gaelic Duolingo knows what's the right thing to do.

Spare a thought for Rupert Lowe. 16 kids and their teacher were slaughtered in Dunblane, another 15 were shot and wounded. Hundreds more were traumatised and grief stricken, but Rupert's dad had to give up his shooting hobby. There's no violin small enough.
