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.

There were many threats,lies and plenty of scaremongering and skullduggery before the indy referendum in 2014. England can't afford to lose Scotlands vast resources...oh and a place to dump it's WMD.

Although I agree Westminster will just say it was a once in a generation vote so live with it. That’s what they say about Scotland who are unable to change their minds apparently.
Personally I feel generation means the next load of voters, the young, and they should get their voices heard.

If you get a second Brexit referendum, we up here get a second one on Independence.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

The more people who vote SNP first and Scottish Greens second, the more pro-independence seats will be won and the fewer Unionist seats will be secured. 👍

So we just sit back and let Westminster fuck us? The biggest difference now, I think, is that significantly more people have seen how much we've been let down, how much Westminster lie and cheat us and how little control we have over our own fate after being forced into Brex-shit.

2/2 The car being followed is a Dodge Charger.
Just like the famous car chase in "Bullitt". I was so delighted to spot it that I laughed out loud 😊.

Scott Hutchison @freeebooter.bsky.social · 1d

Got round to seeing "One Battle After Another" tonight. Towards the end of the film, there's a slow car follow that had a very specific shot, exactly like one from "Bullitt", of a character looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the following car. The car following is a Ford Mustang 1/2
