Why doesn't the Scotch Whisky Association tell the UK, the factually-correct number of Scotch Whisky Casks that Scotland has maturing? They insist on telling demonstrable lies.

* We want people living here to learn English.

* We think English Degrees are a waste of time.

* Down with Performing Arts.

The fucked-up world of the English Conservative Party.

Scottish Independence, please!

Detach us from these appalling, money-grubbing, culture-free morons.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Someone should 'Lodge' a complaint.

They're trying to make the UK too good.

Like the SNP, they are sneakily intent on making things better, for everyone, not just Fund Managers.

Crafty blighters!

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

Cameron Menzies. His Darts form is linked to his team, he tells us.

He's from Ayrshire like most Rangers Fans.

50,000 Members of the Orange Lodge.

50,000 seats at Ibrox Park.

I've been to Marches and to Rangers matches. They're not diverse and tolerant.

Kevin McKenna is a dangerous arse.

An Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.

* We have a THIRD of all UK Food and Drink Exports
* We have HALF of all UK Renewable Energy

Hurry the fuck up, there isn't a valid argument any more.

Only a very silly Scot doesn't want Independence.

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 10h

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

Thick old racist blokes, defect from an old, thick old racists Party, to a new, thick old racists Party.

Can you guess what the common link is?

Hampshire and Dorset councillors defect from the Tories to Reform UK

Cllr Barry Dunning said he made the decision because his politics no longer aligned with the Conservative Party's.

80 years separate these photos, of 2 staving kids.

Same shit, different religion.

If you're taking sides, you're on the wrong side.

It's gone beyond stupid religions.

They're starving kids.

It's 2025.

It's really quite odd that anyone thinks a place so rich in culture can't be Independent.

Scotland also invented most of the Modern World!

There's not a sensible argument any more.

Independence is about giving Scotland a fresh start - and a chance to build an economy that works for us.

A future where all decisions are made by people who live here.

I’m in the stunning National Portrait Gallery this morning, where I will set out more at 9am.

Culture's crap. Conservative Values.

Scotland REALLY needs to be Independent

Studying the language and literature that has helped to define our nation at home and around the world for centuries is a "rip-off" apparently

We REALLY need Scottish Independence.

Scotch, for Scotland. A Scotch Whisky Tourism Strategy and Budget.

Somewhat unbelievably, there isn't one, already!

I don't get the appeal.

Reform UK has a Manifesto the same as the old National Front?

The UK Royal Family has one of the biggest private Fabergé collections in the world. 600 items including Eggs, animal and flower jewels. They were gifts from Russian, Danish, and other British relatives.

They have 22,400 other bits of Jewellery.

Not one English MP wants English Independence.

Not a single one. Not even the racist, English Nationalist ones. Nobody.

Without Scotland, England would return to Covid levels of Trading.

Scotland produces 50% of ALL UK Renewable Energy.
