There really *is* no UK. There is a discontented group of countries dominated by the biggest member that regards the others at best as an afterthought, but more often as unimportant backwater regions of greater England. That attitude by politician & media is pushing the break-up of the 'UK' along.

Things Labour have done. Grangemouth closed, energy prices rising, food prices rising. Taking money away from pensioners, attacking the sick & disabled. Attacks on our civil liberties, controlling what we can view on-line. Don't dare protest lest you be deemed a terrorist. I could go on...

London stole our blue, slapped it on their flag, and called it unity. We’re taking it back — Scotland’s colours belong to Scotland. #ScottishIndependence

It's astounding that York ALREADY had any Freedom for Fergie?

Duchess of York could lose honorary freedom of City of York

A motion to strip Sarah Ferguson of the honorary freedom of York could be considered in November.

Here’s an idea. Why not process all the people that come over on the boats and see who they are and what they can do for the Uk. Put them to work, get them paying taxes, treat them like human beings and stop thinking because they are brown they are bad. Just an idea……

Keir Starmer suggested that the SNP 'want Britain to fail' in a speech at the Labour Party conference.

I have news for you Keir, Britain has failed Scotland for the last 300 years.

If you say that you love our flag, Why not respect those who fly it & stop denying us our democracy?
