I haven't read the wee Alba book, I know what it is about already. Scotland can survive as an Independent country.
But to survive, Scotland needs a competent government, something that Alex Salmond made in 2007 and again in 2011. Alex Salmond helped to make the people of Scotland realise that we can decide our own destiny.
But the establishment have successfully neutered the threat from Alex Salmond. We have NS now, And to comment against her just won't do.
You're absolutely right regarding Salmond IMO, especially about him being neutered and the nature of it. Sturgeon beats him for broad appeal, because she has fraudulently ingratiated her self with so many identity groups, but in terms of competency there is no contest.
The livestream I watched today showed a committed group of activists fighting for what they believe in, which I respect, however I couldn't help but think that Salmond deserved so much more.

I see the 'Wee Alba Book Tour' is now underway, with a livestream from Skye and Lochalsh not having long finished.
As a Unionist, the 'Wee Blue Book' by Stu Campbell scared me a bit. I didn't agree with what was in it, but there's no doubt that it converted a lot of people. I remember a friend of mine telling me something along the lines of 'I just don't see anything like this from the No side', which was true. The No campaign was awful.
The WBB was everywhere! You couldn't get away from it on social media, and I remember seeing it being handed out by shopkeepers.
Anyway, I watched some of the Skye event, and it does seem rather low key. Salmond spoke well as usual though. I wonder if they'll manage to promote the Alba Book as well as the Blue Book. I don't sense the same enthusiasm amongst the populace, but time will tell.
I take it this one has once again been authored by the Rev Stu Campbell?

You're welcome.
Thanks for the link mate, but it still seems an awful lot of effort.

Good post Snafu. Sadly I can see all of these things you say happening.
It's going to be a very tough couple of years. I have parents that are approaching 90 and I very worried about them. They use the tumble dryer all the time just now. I am explaining to them the cost and how much it will go up but they do not seem to comprehend by how much.
I wish someone had the answer.
I have been having the same problem with the wife for years!
Seriously though, I hope it all goes well with your parents. The government need to get the finger out and pronto.

I don’t think I’ll ever truly understand the seethe from Britnats over Gaelic and Scot’s
I can only speak for myself, but there's certainly no seething at my end.
I see great value in keeping old languages/dialects such as Gaelic and Scots alive in places they've been historically spoken.
My mum's side of the family spoke Gaelic and I sometimes feel guilty that I've never made an effort to learn it!

@Duries Air Freshener and alter ego @Fletcher23 bitching to each other about posters who have them on ignore, and threatening to report them, is quite funny on the Normalisation of the far right thread and across the politics forum. The way it's going they'll have the whole place to themself.
I've not bitched about people having me on ignore, nor have I threatened to report anyone. I've specifically stated that I don't report people, and urge those who don't want to read my posts to put me on ignore. It's best for everyone concerned.
Following Tynie's statement, which has been ignored by many, I'm going out my way to play with a straight bat. I just wish others would do the same.
Nice attempt to create drama by luring me here with a tag though.

Its going to be an 'interesting' weekend.
Any bets on this forum lasting without being locked once again and posters being emptied by 23:59 Sunday night?
People need to stop responding to bait, it is obvious bait.
You know fine well it’s not.
Our opinions just stand out because of the board’s demographic.

UK citizens.
And that's my final word on the subject because it's slightly tedious. I don't know how you can be bothered with it.
Your passport clearly states 'British Citizen'.

Sorry to say, lads, but you’re still incorrect.
It’s sad to see you resort to tales of Roman times - we’ve moved on since then.
The people of Northern Ireland are British, obvious by the fact that they are British citizens, and NI is, therefore, part of Britain.

Where’s our public servant who emits the nice friendly tone, DOTL?
With him being such a lovely, joyous chap, I suspect he’s out doing good deeds in his local community.
I miss him. He always boosted my confidence and put me in good spirits.

Nope. You're just an idiot.
The "great" in Britain refers to size and size alone. There's a weeee bit of debate about whether it refers to Britain being the largest of the British Isles (in a similar way to the largest of the Cayman Islands being called Grand Cayman, etc.) or if it refers to it being bigger than the other Brythonic area of Europe: Brittany. The Gaelic for Brittany, for instance, still refers to it as "Little Britain".
Happy to helpAll that does is back up my point.
It certainly doesn’t indicate that the UK isn’t the same as Britain, which is the premise of your argument.
'Great Britain & Northern Ireland' being on the passport indicates a difference between GB and NI, which the diagram confirms, but Great Britain is not the same as Britain.
Not saying this to wind you up btw, but you should look at Div’s sticky and Tynie’s update.

You can get UTV in Donegal though (I'm assuming this as we used to get it from Ayrshire).
Going by that logic, Ayrshire is also part of Ulster?
Maybe in the case of Drongan

Great stuff this. I've just seen our Prime Minister proudly state on Sky news that the government are going to give financial help - "most of the money will go to the eight million most vulnerable households..."
Why the f are there eight million vulnerable households in such a wealthy country?
I'm just glad they're doing something.
They were in danger of losing my vote.

Quite enjoying the shift in tone here towards out-sealioning the sealions. Wonder which side will snap first...
Yeah, it's going really well so far.
Personally, I'm just starting afresh with everyone.

I’m not worried.
If you espouse far-right conspiracy theorists then maybe you should worry.
I don’t think we’re getting anywhere so let’s just leave it

What presenters shows have you watched Snafu?
I know this is directed to someone else, but hope you don’t mind me jumping in with something different.
In terms of the presenters themselves, Nigel is my favourite, followed closely by Nana then Eamonn.
Who are your favourites?

I know you can't see it matey. That's OK, don't say I didn't warn you though.
I had to look up Paul Joseph Watson. I see he's a British far-right You Tuber, radio host and, here's the best bit, conspiracy theorist
.
Nah chum, like the English beach users I'll leave you to wallow in your keech.
Thanks for the warning buddy.
I’ll leave the door open for you to tackle my points if you fancy it.

Neil Oliver is fantastic. One of the greatest living Scotsman.
He is articulate, intelligent, well informed and a brilliant speaker.
Agreed, Fletch. He says what a lot of people think but are afraid to say.
It’s telling that those who get worked up and angry about him very rarely tackle his arguments.

I think the success of GB News is down to it allowing freedom of speech. People have been crying out for that for years.

All I’ll say, is that if you look back a few years then Talk TV and GB News didn’t even exist.
GB News is a breath of fresh air IMO.
P.S. You’re off ignore. I can’t tell anyone how to post, but after Tynie’s statement I thought it would be nice to start afresh with everyone. I think we can all get on well.

The existence of GB News and their anti-Jock rhetoric is a further nail in Britain's coffin.
Bye-bye Scotland the dullards of middle England will insist in growing numbers.
The dwindling Scottish Unionist band of Orange oddbods and other right wing dingbats will have been hoisted by their own petard.
Can't see it mate.
More and more people are turning against the woke nonsense that's constantly being shoved down our throats, which is why we now have a market for GB News and the channel Piers Morgan is on, whatever it's called.
Many youngsters would now choose a Paul Joseph Watson video over the bland, samey, social-engineering mainstream codswallop.

Well, if the referendum does go ahead then it’d be an important tool for those wishing a split.
