Scotland welcomes new Scots. This brilliant wee coffee and cake van is run by a lovely Czech girl named Sovi. What a brilliant addition to Inchnapamph and what an amazing place for a cuppa.

Sooooo, we've now had TWO radiation leaks reported in the last month in Scotland! Both happened over a year ago! What chance our UKGOV would tell us when they actually happen?

This is a natural progression for Starmer, he just needs to include any act that threatens the stability of the United Kingdom as terrorism and the SNP would become a proscribed organisation!

#ScottishIndependence

How long is it before promoting Scottish, Welsh and Irish independence is deemed to be a terrorist action?

As I note in my column in The National this morning (and I have edited the opening, very slightly), in the light of recent moves by Trump and the UK government on definitions of terrorism: It is now quite reasonable to ask how long it will be before supporting independence becomes...

Referendum was based on lies that were never fulfilled. Purdah was broken in the run up to the vote. Then came Brexit. Also, read the Smith Commission. Blindly believing the data spewed out by GERS is laughable as any trained auditor will tell you. Read these.

Scotland is also entitled to take its share of the value of any assets belonging to the UK which would offset some of the debt.

That means the public link is clear:
Government policy (AI Growth Zones) provides the framework;
BlackRock provides the global finance;
Residents provide the land, water, electricity — and bear the risks.
No one voted for this.

God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel.

This is what (g)od says: "I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt."

The three non-independent nations have found their opportunity and are exploiting it. England will eventually do the same when it gets back in its box, learns to be independent again, and realise its better to have willing friends instead of enforced subordinates (aka colonies etc).

A hideous, and for traumatised British Jews profoundly unhelpful, expression of allyship & agreement with a violent, racist, serial criminal & former member of an avowedly anti-Semitic organisation from the *Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs* and so, as Sunder says, the Israeli government. 1/3

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 5d

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Westminster wants Scotland to accept nuclear power stations for the same reason they site their Trident WMDs here: because they are safely far away from their core voters in the SE of England.

Ed Miliband has confirmed that a vote for Anas Sarwar to be first minister is a vote for nuclear power stations in Scotland

@drscottarthurmp.bsky.social also are you denying what was written in the Smith Commission?

Chernobyldaytripper @kitzkatz2.bsky.social · 5d

@drscottarthurmp.bsky.social also the elephant in the room that is Brexit. We were also told that to vote yes in 2014 would mean being out of the EU. This swayed the vote of many people. As my MP, to arrogantly dismiss these facts is risible.
