My last blog piece of 2025. The fightback against Anglo-British far right nationalism begins in Scotland with the Holyrood election in May 2026. The lastest opinion poll showing 53% support for independence tells us it's a fight we can win.

I am begging you, folks. When someone posts something hopeful, restrain your desire to tell them why their hope is untenable, doomed to fail, or make some unreasonable political analogy out of it.

The Saltire is considered to be the oldest flag in Europe, first used in 832. St Andrew's Day is our national day - when all of Scotland's people, no matter their origin, come together.

This year why not take the opportunity to look forward to a fairer, stronger, independent Scotland.

See all those green circles? That's Scottish on- and off-shore wind generation, right now.

We generate more than we need. It's the cheapest way to generate electricity. And yet Westminster ensures that Scotland has amongst the highest energy prices in the UK/Europe.

Meanwhile, Scotland is the member who has to hand over their pay packets to the 'head' of the house, get's half back to spend on themselves, has to pay interest in the debt when the head overspends, and isn't allowed to move out to another home that suits them better.
