From the SCG in The National today - continuing the theme of "In Scotland we need to invest in ourselves" This is what Community Wealth Building is about but there is a disconnect between the SG Bond Programme and the Community Wealth Building Bill Scotland.

Scottish Government’s bonds plan isn’t consistent with niche viral bill
IN our last article, the Scottish Currency Group (SCG) argued that “in Scotland we need to invest in ourselves” (The National, January 19).

Taxing wealth redresses inequality. Public ownership, another layer of change. There are more layers. Independence is a break point from which to make those deep structural change decisions - will we take them - who is talking about this in Scottish politics?

Assa Samake-Roman: Why taxing the rich on its own is not enough
I WATCHED Zack Polanski’s party-political broadcast a few days ago. It is, understandably, becoming viral.

Super video by Robert Anderson about the need for a Scottish currency post independence. He heavily references the work of the Scottish Currency Group & points viewers' attention at our website. Sounds like he intends a series on the topic - have a listen - thanks Robert!

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

There’s a reason why we keep talking about a Scottish currency
IT is that time of year when we reflect and consider where we are and what we have achieved over these last 12 months before resetting our compass…

Alba members look out for this Zoom. SCG's Jim Osborne has been invited to talk about his pension proposals post independence. Find out how our state and second pensions could be vastly superior in an independent Scotland and offer a much improved standard of living.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
