Wee Eck,knee deep in a gurgling tumbling burn watches the red stains disapate in its flow as he cleans his trusty gralloching kit,a buzzards shrill cry high up the Glen is mute as the sky grows black with craws keen to feed on the entrails, content with his work he slugs a wee dram from his hipflask eyeing the fresh steaming haunch of flesh his careful work has rewarded him with.

Tbh I don't agree with everything in that song but the bare exposure of the situation is correct, don't forget it's a year old.
Scotland dodged a bullet at the last indyref, there was never any talk of how things would proceed if indy had won vote,some did ask how would it proceed but the answers were shocking, there was nothing in place and I am in no doubt we would be in a serious mess. The SNP changed the police ect and basically with them as there own army they would have had carte blanche to impose a very strict dictatorship which would be impossible to alter.
I blame David Cameron for the subsequent mess, after indy he gave more power, completely ignoring the will of those that voted remain, this emboldened the SNP regime and they felt untouchable, the SNP covered up a covid spreader event in Edinburgh very early in pandemic, before it was big, got away with that and so much more, weaponised the outbreak the same as labour did at Westminster,sturgeons crocadile tears at covid enq was bafta level. She appears to be getting away unscathed, hopefully wee Eck ain't finished with her.
It's sickening that so many in England, particularly women, actually think Sturgeon done a wonderful job,.... Dangerous times indeed.

An SNP veteran has derided Nicola Sturgeon as “Stalin’s wee sister” in an excoriating rebuke of her time as First Minister and party leader.
Jim Sillars said she had presided over a “leadership cult” and said the SNP’s general election annihilation had been a referendum on the Scottish Government.
Wonder if we we will soon see any of the cult on here break ranks soon?

Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon was paid £25,000 to appear on ITV’s general election results programme, it has been revealed.
The sum, plus VAT, was disclosed in an update to the SNP MSP's register of interests, external at Holyrood, and was paid to her company Nicola Sturgeon Limited.
Under Sturgeon's leadership, the SNP criticised former Conservative leader Ruth Davidson for taking £7,500 for a similar role in 2019, saying that sitting politicians should not be paid for such appearances.
But First Minister John Swinney said he did not believe Sturgeon should resign as an MSP, and said he disagreed with a previous call from cabinet colleague Angus Robertson for Davidson to quit.
Sturgeon also declared more than £3,000 worth of travel and accommodation.
A spokesperson for the ex-SNP leader said she was paid the fee offered by ITN and registered it accordingly.
Davidson received £7,500 for appearing on an ITV election show in December 2019.
Ruth Davidson was urged to resign as an MSP by Angus Robertson in 2020
Angus Robertson, who replaced Davidson as MSP for Edinburgh Central in 2021, posted on Twitter, external in February 2020 that the payment was "another reminder" why Davidson "should resign".
He added: "Edinburgh Central deserves an MSP that will put their constituents first."
SNP MSP Rona Mackay said at the time: "Ruth Davidson's priority appears to be picking up thousands in outside earnings while neglecting her actual job.
"Serving politicians who appear on election night broadcasts do so to represent their party - not to pick up a pay cheque. This payment is unprecedented – and she should now hand it back." 'Wrong call'
Swinney, who was deputy first minister when SNP colleagues criticised Davidson, was asked after First Minister's Questions if Sturgeon should resign.
He replied: “No, I don't think she should. And I think the call that was made for Ruth Davidson to resign was the wrong call.”
Sturgeon appeared on ITV's general election night coverage, external in July alongside former Conservative chancellor George Osborne and ex-Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls.
Her register of interests shows her company, Nicola Sturgeon Limited, was paid £25,000 plus VAT.
She was also provided with accommodation and car travel worth £2803.78 and £329.15 respectively over six days between 30 June and 5 July, in the run to and immediately after the 4 July election.
As her party headed for a loss of 39 seats, Sturgeon told the ITV election programme: "This is not a good night for the SNP on these numbers and there will be a lot of questions that need to be asked as we come out of it.”
Scottish Conservative chairman Craig Hoy said: “Nicola Sturgeon probably reckons she earned every penny of her huge fee for having to squirm on live TV as her own toxic legacy led to SNP seats tumbling on election night, but this declaration exposes her shameless hypocrisy."
He added: “Having the ITV fee paid to her company is clearly a ruse to avoid paying the higher rates of income tax her incompetent SNP government have imposed on hard-working Scots and which she personally championed.
“So much for those with the broadest shoulders bearing the heaviest burden. It’s hard not to conclude that Nicola Sturgeon is an utter fraud.” A man with dark hair and glasses in a dark suit sitting in the Scottish ParliamentImage source, Getty Images Image caption,
Craig Hoy accused Sturgeon of "shameless hypocrisy"
After resigning as first minister in March 2023, Sturgeon has said she would release a “‘deeply personal and revealing” autobiography.
The register of interests shows she has received £75,000 as an advance on the book. It is listed as the first of four instalments from publisher Pan Macmillan.
Sturgeon has also written several book reviews, including one for Boris Johnson’s memoir Unleashed.
Her register shows she was paid a combined £2,700 for three book reviews for the New Statesman in recent months.
The former first minster remains under investigation from Police Scotland detectives looking into SNP finances.
She was previously arrested and released without charge, and said she has done nothing wrong.
Former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell, Sturgeon's husband, was charged with embezzling party funds in April.

Tell that to Sturgeon and Scooter who think that 43K a year makes you a higher earner.
I suppose Sturgeon will have avoided paying that though since the money was funneled through Nictola Sturgeon Ltd.

NICOLA Sturgeon has admitted forgetting to declare thousands of pounds worth of perks as part of her ITV night election gig.
The former First Minister said she had made an “error” over the July 4 polling job which saw her paid £25,000 for eight hours on television.
Sturgeon, who has come under fire for taking around £3000 an hour to talk about politics while still an elected politician, was late to register her £2800 hotel and £400 travel arrangements provided during the show.
According to parliamentary rules for MSPs they have 30 days after receiving the benefit or payment to register it with authorities.
A spokeswoman for the Glasgow Southside MSP said there had been a “misunderstanding” about the rules which caused the delay but insisted Sturgeon had still kept within the rules by registering the earnings as soon as she remembered she had to do so.
She said: “Due to an initial misunderstanding of the requirements in relation to the expenses for the appearance, these were registered slightly late but within the provisions of the Code of Conduct on late registrations.
“When Nicola realised the error herself, she took immediate steps to update the register.”
But opponents have criticised the former first minister for failing to comply with the rules on time.
Alba party general secretary Chris McEleny said: “It’s incredible how quickly Nicola Sturgeon seems to have forgotten that she has to abide by the rules of parliament but is it really a surprise given she appears to have forgotten about her job as an MSP?
“Nicola’s problem is that for years she threw people to the wolves in an attempt to look whiter than white and now it is coming back to haunt her.
“When Wendy Alexander was forced to resign she said she had been ‘the author of her own misfortune”. I’m afraid for Nicola Sturgeon she is now the author of her own misfortune.
“If she thinks others should resign for their mistakes then why doesn’t that same logic apply to her?”
When former Tory leader Ruth Davidson was paid £7500 to commentate throughout ITV’s general election coverage in 2019 the SNP called for her to resign.
Douglas Ross was also challenged to quit by the SNP when he was late to declare thousands of pounds in earnings as a football linesman.
Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells said: “This appears to be a breach of the rules by Nicola Sturgeon. Given she has sat in Parliament since it opened, she should have been aware of them.
“She should clearly apologise for this late declaration.
“Having received a huge sum for appearing on TV, the least she should have done is to have kept her house in order.”
Mrs (or maybe Miss now with the absence of sneaky Pete) forgetful again.
£2800 hotel? Where the **** was she staying and what did she order in?

The Glen Sannox has finally been handed over to Caledonian MacBrayne seven years to the day it was launched by Nicola Sturgeon.
The two vessels were supposed to be built for £97m under a contract handed to the Ferguson Marine yard in Port Glasgow in 2015 - but the total bill has soared to more than £400m.
Glen Sannox was supposed to be completed in 2018 but it will only take its first passengers in January 2025.
Sturgeon, the then first minister, was widely mocked after she officially launched the unfinished ferry in November 2018 before its windows were even installed.
The construction of the two ships was so botched it forced Ferguson Marine into administration in 2019, with the Scottish Government forced to nationalise the yard as a result.
Whoopee!

what referendums ? She wasn't in charge at referendums as far as I'm aware. I honestly had never heard of her and knew little about scottish independence referendum, but I watched it and the aftermath, when she spoke in defeat, both myself and wife said she is clever.
Doesn't matter now she is going to make millions post politics and most politicians are hungry cants for cash. I heard she is a wee bitter rangers fan like AKA.
However she can support whoever she wants, but did she send away 5 tory leaders or just 4 ? I'd go 5 but could be wrong.
