Don't say we didn't tell you about Rachel Reeves, because we told you about Rachel Reeves. pic.twitter.com/7fc1VU3NId

It's quite true, you know - Stew did tell you about Rachel Reeves.  Alas, the main thing he told you was: "it's 4th July 2024, it's general election day, and you know what you have to do, alert readers - vote for the party of Rachel Reeves and make her Chancellor of the Exchequer for the next five years".

I'm sure Stew will be putting the flesh on the bones of his top-secret masterplan, and explaining exactly how helping to elect this wretched Labour government has brought us closer to independence, very soon.  Like, you know, any day now.

Oh, I know. It's for my own amusement, because I'm very bored atm and lord help me, I enjoy watching him squirm and fume. But from tomorrow there's the Peggie case to cover, so yay.

Yay!  Get in there!  SANDIE PEGGIE!  NHS FIFE!  

OK, so it turns out the explanation of the top-secret masterplan will have to wait a while, because Stew has nabbed himself actual TICKETS.

It's the HOTTEST TICKET IN TOWN and Stew has GOT IN.   Do NOT mention the genocide to this man over the coming days, because he has a lifetime dream to fulfil and he intends to ENJOY it without distraction.

We're all so happy for you, Stew.  I mean, SANDIE PEGGIE and NHS FIFE.  It's like being able to say you were at Woodstock.

Oh, and I'm glad to hear that you've only been relentlessly stalking me to keep yourself amused, because I've heard it suggested in some quarters that stable individuals probably wouldn't write two thousand word articles, with borderline-psychopathic headlines like "Anatomy of a Lunatic", in which they tie themselves up in knots trying to frantically explain how demanding that people must vote tactically on the list is simply their way of expressing their opposition to tactical voting on the list.  Calm individuals in full control of themselves, I've heard it suggested, probably wouldn't shriek "you are IDIOTS if you don't vote tactically on the list, and you are IDIOTS if you somehow think what I've just said means I've reversed my opposition to tactical voting on the list".

So it's a relief to hear that appearances have been so deceptive on this occasion and that it's just been a purely recreational thing for you.  A bit of fun, rather than something you've felt compelled and driven to do because you're, y'know, a bit rattled.  Just goes to prove what I've always said - perceptions of who is "squirming" and "fuming" are very much in the eye of the beholder.

In any case, that's all behind you now, Stew, because from this day forth you are officially LIVIN' THE DREAM.

SANDIE PEGGIE.

NHS FIFE.

It's not just the top tier of entertainment, it's the top tier of human experience.

I know I speak for all Scot Goes Pop readers when I say I am green with envy.
