Here's an idea.
When Scotland is independent, rUK will be free of all their generous subsidies to us. Won't have to plough vast amounts into eg moving vast amounts of energy to the south.
You'll be free of us and self-reliant. Why hang on to such a burden?

Well seeing there's an election in the offing. Plenty vows, promises and commitments will be made along with numerous hints dropped. But as soon as the votes are counted all will evaporate as before and the focus will shift again to Westminster leaving Scotland even worse off.

For decades it's been the aim of BBC, rt-wing papers and WM ( tory and labour) to undermine the Scottish government.
Spinning and twisting news to present negativity and deny successful outcomes.
To ignore the mitigations put in place to protect Scots from WM policies.
Taste of your own medicine?

It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.
Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

As the biggest parties in the UK fall over themselves to align with fascism and Reform UK, Scotland must take a different route.

Independence for Scotland must happen otherwise fascism wins.

Like and report if you agree.

So, here's the proposal, unionists: let Scotland try independence for 40 or 50 years, and see how it goes. If it flops, as you believe, then imagine the gloating you'll be able to enjoy as we come crawling back. What have you got to lose?

It's clear, Scotland is getting better than 'the rest of Britain/Britian', in just about every measurable way.

For an even fairer society, we need to go the whole way, Scottish Independence.

There's no longer an argument.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Solar grew by 31% globally in the first half of 2025, while wind grew by nearly 8%.

Renewable energy is the future, providing safe, clean and cheap power - in sharp contrast to the volatility of fossil fuels.

In Scotland we must continue building on our success in this booming industry.
Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity
Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

The SNP has said it will introduce a Palestine Recognition Bill when the UK Parliament returns from recess, & force a vote if needed "unless [PM] Starmer stops blocking UK recognition of the State of Palestine"

Stephen Flynn MP will table the bill in September to coincide with the UN Gen. Assembly.

The myopic Anglo centric view of the Guardian is a huge disappointment for me. It’s not the paper it once was under Alan Rusbridger and pre Wikileaks. It uses its anti SNP rhetoric as a comfort blanket for its Anglo exceptionalism readership, and refuses compare NHS in context and accurately.
