Pro-independence for Scotland and any other peoples that want it. Doing my little bit to push this agenda along. Here for comment not argument. It's nice to be nice, so trolls, name-callers and rude people will be blocked.

Many people on the UK's left promote wealth taxes. The trouble is that they would take years to deliver. Taxing income and gains from wealth more makes a lot more sense. youtu.be/vJRdnaJpWl8?...

Latest deadly attack at US-backed aid hub kills eight Palestinians seeking food on second day of Eid al-Adha.

Finally the credible Jeremy Bowen determines that his and the silence of his corporation and the UK government is at the point of continuation would be complicity in Israel’swar crimes and genocidal actions. It’s taken too long and too many have died. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And another one This whole racist pish gets on my goat. Yes, call racism/slurs & lazy troops out BUT THE mainstream media never called out the vile hate & abuse Humza Yousaf recieved as First Minister Labour kept their feckin gobs shut. Some even promoted it BBC selectively rises to Sarwars defence

The UK has had useless Prime Ministers but none have actively sought to make citizens feel scared. An evil, swivel eyed, conscience free madman is in charge at The White House.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

I suspect Starmer's UK will recognise Palestine just as soon its arms sales have helped Israel complete the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and West Bank "UK and France abandon plans to recognise Palestinian state at conference" www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-and-...

A youth violence summit? Important of course but how about an Independence summit?

Odd phrasing. Makes it sound like some kind of competition. 😳

Nuclear power: a dream not worth having The Government wants more nuclear power stations, but renewable energy is cheaper, safer, and more sustainable westenglandbylines.co.uk/business/ene...

IMO: Swinney should not resign. BUT The focus needs to change. We’ve done the “Party of Good Government”. We’ve done the “Party of WM Mitigation”. It’s time to be the “Party of independence”. First. Foremost. In EVERY conversation. In EVERY policy. At EVERY election. The change Scotland needs.

Huh. Tell us about it. Sincerely, many ‘you’re not gojng out wearing that!?’ husbands. 🤪🤪

Was talking with hubby about what's happening with SNP & apathy. When AS & NS were in charge they weren't ignored by the press, why?, I think because they were loud, assertive and a little more outspoken, good headlines, John?,is ignored. Stephen isn't ignored either, he speaks & he's interviewed.

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

1. It’s good to see this scandal being called out at last. My thanks and congratulations go to Lee Schofield, Karen Lloyd and Ian Convery. But it’s also absolutely infuriating that it has come to this point, as I explain in this thread. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scotland had the worst poverty rate in Europe when I was a child. The fact that Scotland [now] has a lower poverty rate than any region of England!

Just want to add my voice to the increasing wave of disquiet that any uninteresting change in one minority extremist party 'reform' gets headline coverage by BBC news who don't even have an account on here because they think it might be 'too left leaning.' For pities sake. I'll post this on Threads

Youngest painted a cat. It’s lovely

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me? act.gp/47MTYKR

I swear every time I see a push notification from BBC news it’s some version of: ‘Reform may have lost an election/suffered a massive blow/erupted into civil war…but here is why its actually good news for Farage’s party’

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

Within Our Grasp: Summary - "A Campaign Strategy that will apply maximum pressure on the Westminster Government and achieve independence within three years of its commencement." www.commonweal.scot/policies/wit...

"In this article, I’m going to draw again from Common Weal’s strategy paper 'Within Our Grasp' to look at various ways that Scotland could ramp up the pressure on the UK Government until they agree to recognise our independence." thecommongreen.scot/2020/07/06/t...

Here's the thing: however much we disagree on method, we all agree that Scotland regaining independence benefits EVERYONE. Not just in Scotland, but the continuing UK. Now tell me how I'm wrong.

You’re allowed to change your mind? I thought it was a ‘once in a generation’ thing, or that ‘now is not the time’.

Oh look. It seems you can after all decide to leave an organisation and then rejoin after you realise you made a terrible mistake. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

With a name like Grima Wormtongue you’d have thought everyone would have spotted he was a baddy straight away.
