JUST as many of the peaceful protesters carried pictures of Tsar Nicholas the second as they marched towards the Winter Palace on that fateful January day in 1905 – so convinced as they were that all the Tsar needed to do was under stand how bad things were and he would sort the problems out – so we have here in Scotland those so blinded by the myth of constitutional monarchy, so entrapped by a false union of consensus, so heavily indoctrinated by the media are they that all they can think about is supporting the failed state.

This failed state is the reality of Boris Johnson’s UK. It was inevitable that the Oxbridge sow would find itself in this position, a position every empire has been in just before it’s final collapse.

It’s controller desperately attempting to keep the status it once had, placing the blame for imperial demise on an enemy within and an enemy without. They have, these enemies gone by many names, monarchists, imperialists, republicans, Goths, Vandals, Huns but today they are simply known as the EU and immigrants, for that is where the sow would have us look, that is the direction according to their propagandist where the faults lie.

The embarrassment that is the Downing Street village fete committee that Johnson has picked to run the UK seems to be without equal in modern times as does their ability to do what ever they please without any constraint something that you can see in their support also.

The patience of a nation is not without limit and long have the Oxbridge Sow’s actions been testing that of Scotland.

Oh, that day in St Petersburg, it went on to be known as Bloody Sunday as Tsarist forces opened up on unarmed civilians, men, woman and children. No big surprise as monarchies whether absolute or “constitutional” really do not care for the plebs telling them what to do.

Instead they rely on absolute obedience, absolute devotion and absolutely cannot stand any investigation into their behaviour.

But not just their behaviour but that also the behaviour of their ministers, their lords and their hangers on. For you see it is really all about them staying in power retaining as much wealth as possible and milking the system as they go along.

A monarchy working out with it’s constitutional mandate, a Downing Street Cabinet working outside of all perceived norms and now the most senior police officer in England under the spot light as heading up an organisation that has been branded corrupt.

And the rancid supporters north of the Tweed and in other places have fallen silent. How typically, typical of them, how shrinkingly shrinking of them.

Our future is bright, Scottish independence is right.

WHAT a welcome sight was Greg Moodie’s cartoon special on Sunday’s National!

So now that he has made a reappearance, is it too much to ask that we can have him back on the National every week?

It’s been too long since he gave us our cheeky wee fix every Monday. Come on slackers- help support the call for the return of Torphichen’s finest!
