Passionate about Scottish Independence, left wing socialist and apparently an extremist,humanist who is sick of corruption, war and poverty. No DMs please, I block liberally. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence

Scotland does need independence but how do we get it? Asking WM permission to even have a vote will be met with a no as Starmer has repeatedly said. This is no union, this is a prison that Scotland needs to free itself from somehow.

The SNP's Stephen Flynn spelled it out clearly today: Scotland needs a fresh start - Scotland needs Independence.

Starmer democracy denier.

I hope the members of the UN's C-24 committee were listening to and noted Keir Starmer's statement that there will never be another Independence Referendum in Scotland.

Compare what independent Ireland is doing, with what it was told would happen if it became independent.

Scotland and England live in neighbouring houses. England takes 100% of Scotland's wages every week and gives her back 35% as pocket money. England says he will use the remaining 65% for their mutual benefit. England then uses that money to build a swimming pool, a sauna, ... 1/2

Vote #SNP 1 #ScottishGreens 2 in 2026.

The attached table shows the impact of shifting @snp.org vote to @scottishgreens.org @ increasing % levels. This shows that indy supporting parties could hold 73% of the Scottish Parliament seats with a 59 seat super majority.

You're missing the point that the only way to make improvements to Scotland is with the full fiscal powers of an independent country instead of pocket money from our neighbour.

Reposted again today as BBC Scotland try to undermine SNP Conference with selected NHS stories:

NHS waiting list in England is longer per head by quarter of a million patients and shockingly twice as long in Wales, than in Scotland

Professor John Robertson OBA MSM Monitor, fast and effective as always, demolished the claims of Baillie and Sarwar yesterday. What are the most recent waiting list figures? Scotland – 718 00…

All very well and good but Starmer has already said even if SNP secure a majority he'll still refuse an S30 so what then?

In the run-up to GE2026 the unionist parties are going to make all sorts of promises about how Scotland will benefit by staying in the UK. We've been there before. #DontGetFooledAgain #VoteForScotland2026 indyposterboy.scot/broken-promi...

It's either a voluntary union or It's a prison.

2nd part of our day was spent up at Loch Turret, scary road up the mountain but totally worth it even when a strong gust caused me to lose my balance at the edge of the single track road.

All the more reason for Scottish Independence.

In my experience, Scots hate being told what to do just like most of us Americans.

Please help this cockwomble reach the Find Out stage. We're trying to do the same over here across the pond.
