Nothing illustrates the real need for Scottish independence better than the contemptuous ‘you had your vote’ response from unionists.

Same goes for nuclear weapons.

Starmer in Glasgow today telling us we must prepare for combat. If Scotland was an independent nation and the UK's nuclear subs were based in Devonport, there would be no threat to Scotland. The threat comes from being in the Union.

Well I won’t read a better post today. Or this year.

Your reminder that NatWest was one of the banks that threatened to leave Scotland if we voted for independence. That worked out well. Next time, Scotland, don’t be so gullible. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

In Scotland, we're not tild the truth about the quality and quantity of most of our resources. We also have at least TWICE as much Scotch whisky as we are told. If the markets change, they just close Distilleries. Scotland has NO strategy coming out of Scotland, to address this.

Had Scotland voted Yes in 2014 we’d have negotiated acccess to our fishing waters in *our* terms. Instead, chained to the Union, WM has traded it away - again- as a bargaining chip, and not even discussed it with Scotland. You Yes yet? #YouYesYet

Whatever happened to Dido and our £38 billion tracking and tracing no-one?

Can you imagine. All those countries who broke free from Westminster. I don’t believe one of them was stopped because independence was seen as a “reserved matter”.

Which is nice, of course, but only if a de facto vote is actually proposed to take place.

Thanks to everyone who shared this x

Turn off your TV & watch this as you have breakfast & I guarantee you will see Scotland in a different light. Fed up with the BBC or STV then watch “WHY SCOTS SHOULD BE VERY ANGRY” The Scotland channel @thescotlandchannel.bsky.social youtu.be/VgLpBvKXAr8?... via @YouTube

Two weeks today I’m at Paisley Book Festival with James & Rab. Hope to see some of you Paisley buddies there. I’ll be reading from Born in Kyle and talking about the mining heritage there that I grew up with.

For an event on the Declaration of Arbroath & Tartan Day, I came across a quote which sums up what we were up against as a nation. The chronicler Baldred Bissett in 1301 declared: Edward’s mission was “the perpetual annihilation of all the blood, nation and name of the Scots."

WILL SELF 'On the whole, I’ve considered independence to be something of a no-brainer: if ever there was a small, potentially socialistic state that could do with being detached from its deluded, imperialist neighbour, it’s Scotland.' #YouYesYet

Thanks to @indyposterboy.scot for this. Especially useful to the youngsters or those abroad (or even at home) who haven't quite understood our drive for independence.

BILLY BRAGG 'Independence is not about nationalism, it's about greater self-determination. Scottish independence throws up the possibility of a more progressive England. We won’t be British any more, we’ll be English.' #YouYesYet

I wonder how many NO voters are still happy they made the right decision ten years ago? Was Brexit worth it? Was the Covid corruption? Ever increasing food and energy bills? Ridiculous rents? Our resources being drained? Farage as PM in 29? What will/ did Scotland gain? We lost BIG TIME. Sort it out

It's coming. No job for the young then they will be made join the army. Be afraid. That's why they want to take away free Tuition so they can sign them up all the ones who can't pay for collage or uni will be in the army. Scottish people should totally reject this. www.joe.co.uk/news/labour-...
