Let’s be clear: she was smeared. They attempted to destroy, probably the most honest & competent politician in these islands. They tried to silence her vision. Nicola Sturgeon didn’t just lead the SNP, she ignited a movement that will prevail. Scotland’s future remains Yes. #ScottishIndependence

“Rebellious Scots” 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @markrich68.bsky.social · Sep 4
A fundamental function of the bbc State Broadcaster is to reinforce the propaganda message that Scotland is uniquely incompetent, inadequate and incapable of functioning outwith the uk

A crucial tool in this is to twist news so as to convey positivity towards the union, whilst omitting negativity

Just like the BBC in Scotland, Laura Kuenssberg is stepping up the deliberate errors to knock The SNP. Twice she claimed the UK Gov was supplying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from Norway after it signed a deal with BAE systems.

Are Labour really going to try and tie current economic damage (and hence the need for further tax rises) to Farage and to Brexit, whilst at the same time insisting that persevering with Brexit is the right thing to do?

That feels like gaslighting of the very highest order.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

"If we believe in the sovereignty of the Scottish people, then the Scottish people must be respected. There's no electoral trick to achieving independence. It can only happen when a majority of Scots are in favour of it happening." Full video here:

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it.

Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.
