A Scotland win tonight gives us a chance to keep world cup qualification alive, and give the country a wee boost and a bit of pride.

I do not want to belong to a UK, that gave us Windrush, an illegal Iraq War, no funded care for people with dementia, a defunded NHS, parks nuclear WMDs in Scotland & gave us Austerity, Brexit & Covid scandal & complicity in genocide in Gaza.
If that’s your ‘British Values’, I want no part of it.

The UK Government said all of them couldn't afford to be independent, that they were too poor, and in too much debt.

It was lies then, and it's lies now.

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.

FIFA is too cowardly to kick the occupation state from all competitions so countries are making sure they don’t advance by trashing them. Norway won their match today 5-0 and Norway’s soccer federation says it will donate all profits from this World Cup qualifying game to aid work in Gaza.

Based on 2025 polling aggregates, the SNP has only a 10-20% likelihood of securing an outright majority.

They are almost certain (over 90%) to remain the largest party and form a minority government - perhaps a majority one with the Greens.

A pro-independence majority is highly likely (70%).

It smells a bit of sabotage, why not promote the Indy movement as united in the pursuit of independence, with all pro-Indy parties and groups under the 1 umbrella.

Is this where you want your money to go Scotland, think of the benefits to the SNHS, education, and rebuilding communities, for the community.
Why finance foreign billionaires when you could be improving everything around about you.

An official uniting of all pro-indy groups/parties made public knowledge would let the electorate see that everyone is pulling together, leading up to the election.
