What did Scotland get in return for our massive oil wealth?
A9 dualled? A96 dualled? Cheaper energy? Cheaper food? Cheaper public transport?
We got Thatcher, our kids killed fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Boris Johnson, Decades of austerity, our FoM stripped from us and next up Nigel Farage. UK👎🏼

The problem isn't that the UK is an unethical, corrupt, criminal, lying, thieving, destroyer of Scotland's future. The problem is that UK supporters don't care.

A Fresh Start with Independence

As a nation state within the EU, Scotland could have freedom of movement both within the EU and the UK through the Common Travel Area, allowing service companies to draw from a combined population of over 500 million people.

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.

Why do politicians think they're invisible and we dont have memories?
Why do they think they can fuck us up with complete impunity?
When are we getting the Covid billions back? Who's being prosecuted? You'd never reemploy a mechanic who wrecked your car engine...

Whos going to stop Trump?

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
