Please don't go....but please don't have any influence on anything that affects you. There's a good wee region!

Watching ‪#‎QuestionTime‬ this evening from Stockton on Tees, on tv in Glasgow, makes me at a loss to understand how anyone could not believe Scotland would be better off in virtually every way if it was independent.

Again we see a Tory representative (Lord Mickey Mouse I think his name was) say something foul about Scotland by using that old chestnut that Scotland is a subsidy junky, which was greeted with a warm applause. For some reason the audience had very few anti trident supporters (there`s a surprise - it wouldn't for the BBC to be biased would it?). All in all it was a painful experience - I knew there was a reason I no longer really watch these sorts of shows on the BBC!

I am in a state of disbelief at anyone with a eyes, ears, and a brain that even partially works, who actually voted voluntarily to remain attached to this mob as that is surely the only way they can be described. I remain completely confused; dumbfounded if you like.

Better Together?

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad! The only sensible one that seemed to know anything about Scotland and about its low position in the United Kingdom hierarchy (or Greater England) was Nicola Sturgeon. Now there's a thing!

It's like we are a different species in Scotland from the rest of the UK these days.

I can't relate to any of the other panel members or the majority of the audience members who just seem like aliens from another planet. But then I have come to realise that they always were and we were cajoled and brainwashed into thinking we were better attached to the UK by the media and the BBC in particular.

Up until last years Independence Referendum campaign this was a subtle malign influence on Scotland as we had kept our place. 

But when we dared to look as though we might cut off the supply of money from the oil and our other assets, and wouldn't any longer supply our lochs to house the UK's weapons of mass destruction to our imperial masters it has gone into overdrive. 
 
 
The emotion is beyond anger. And it is more than sadness. I think it is still called desolation and a feeling I am getting very used to since September 2014. We share an island with people who just don't get it and we chose to stay stuck to them, and given tonight's performance they really don't give a shit. Hopefully this will not be for another 300 years. Its too awful to think about.

#VoteSNPinMay
 
And to think 55% of people who live in Scotland actually voted for this. I don't know what else to say.

After an amazing week in Scotland, I have today had my Yes windaes egged,

Glasgow's Buchanan Street, Saturday 13th September 2014

I can't quite believe this week in Scotland.

On Saturday in the central belt we had a thousand strong Yes Flash Mob take over Buchanan Street. This was reported on the BBC but only in passing and with pictures of a few YES people with signs from another place. This is what passes for honest broadcasting at BBC Scotland these days.

Edinburgh's Meadows, Sunday 14th September 2014

Also on Saturday we had the Orange Order march to preserve the Union in Edinburgh. The BBC reported this as if it were part of the grassroots of the Better Together campaign and gave it much greater prominence missing the fact that the OO is a sectarian organisation. Come to think of it I have never seen any Better Together grassroots in real life apart from yobs or the Orange Order so perhaps it wasn't far from the truth.

'A Night For Scotland' concert in the Usher Hall, Edinburgh. Sunday 14th September 2014

On Sunday we had the massive Yes March and rally in the Meadows in Edinburgh. This was followed by the 'A Night for Scotland' Yes concert in the Usher Hall in Lothian Road. Afterwards there were a few examples of violence towards Yes supporters, but when it was mentioned on BBC News the removed the bit about them being from Yes.

George Square, BBC Bias Protest, Sunday 14th September 2014

On the other side of the country in Glasgow we had the fifth BBC bias march that was much better attended than had been expected because of BBC News' Nick Robinson's blatant example of bias last week as is shown in the photographs. The first march that they have had started in George Square and finished at the BBC Scotland headquarters on Pacific Quay by the River Clyde.

I also did an internet trawl and discovered pictures which showed someone had climbed the Edinburgh Castle rock to put a Yes sign on it. It transpired that the person who had done it is extremely ill and wanted to protest about Gordon Brown's lies regarding treatment in the NHS in England should Scotland become independent, and therefore was wanting to encourage people to vote YES.

The Wallace Monument with its 'Saor Alba' sign, Sunday 14th September 2014

I discovered that the Wallace Monument has gone YES. This towers over the countryside that surrounds the fair city of Stirling.

I discovered Sannox Beach has gone YES.

And this evening I discovered that Glasgow's squinty Bridge has gone AYE! It becoming partisan follows the Duke of Wellington's statue in Royal Exchange Square going Yes in August.

Sannox Beach, Arran goes YES, Sunday 14th September 2014

However today I have had a second visit from the NO yobs. As I put a lock on my garden gate after the last visit, they would have had to climb over the fence to get in so didn't bother this time. My flat's front windows have become in one respect like Jim Murphy - they have been egged no doubt from the pavement outside the fence. But I don't think my windows will be like Jim Murphy and get blanket coverage from the BBC and other broadcasting media for days on end, do you?

Glasgow's Squinty Bridge over the Clyde goes AYE! Monday 15th September 2014
