A truly depressing and scary scenario that should motivate anyone with a bit sense.
Please, no.
Independence is essential.

An excellent article from Alison Watters, it gives some background to the colonial state, of this union, we find ourselves in. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This wee, sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous arsehole does my head in. Acting the shouty bully to Rhona Mackay.
Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain!
This type of display from BBC Scotland will only be increasing in the lead up to next years elections.

Sadly, the same in the UK, too. Including so called Labour.

Horrendous, what the flotilla members had to go through to highlight the piratical, genocidal actions of the IDF and Israeli government.
And, to almost radio silence from UK media and abnegation from Starmer spokeperson with, 'it's a matter for the Israeli government' WTF!
Thank you, the flotilla.

I was born in England, but I was reborn in Scotland. And that rebirth has given me clarity - not to divide, but to stand for a Scotland that believes in itself and its right to chart its own path.👇

Now ramp up the positives, using the classic unionist opening gambit, "before I answer that, I'd just like to say..." when asked the usual, negative, whataboutery that you are constantly facing from the biased main stream media.

Build the momentum. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yay! The unionists are right. Let's build more nuclear reactors! What's the problem, it'll only take 300 years before they stop contaminating us. Yay!

The Regime isn’t getting the scary images it wants out of Portland and other “war torn” cities.

They need video of violent “ANTIFA” types they can use as propaganda, and we’re not giving it to them!

Aesthetics matter!

Wear funny costumes. 🥸
Dance. 💃
Carry flowers. 💐
Blow bubbles.🫧
Get creative!

Well said. 👍
What a great strategy against an ignoninious regime. As a distant Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, I only feel qualified to comment because our colonial master's government (UK) is slowly goose-stepping in a similar direction.
Strange days to cope with, indeed, but that is an excellent, Gandhi style proposal. ✌️

Never look at BBC news website but as Swiney was giving a big speech on independence today thought I'd just see if it was mentioned..nope just lots of the usual derogatory stuff..and if you scroll down far enough there's a picture of F just to keep him in your mind #FFS

I know, it's absolutely appalling. Their agenda is so blatant. And this is going to get worse as we approach the Holyrood election next year.
Grim.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Yet another disgraceful omission from the mainstream media in Scotland, exposed, yet again, by the Talking Up Scotland blog.

A great read. Exposing a shocking subject. No public services or utilities should be privatised.
