"Pump water from the huge Scottish lochs to London"...
The mask slips, not content with squandering Scotland's oil, they are after our Energy, our Water and our democracy.
Independence anyone?

In what way is Scotland stronger with England? I can tell you my view is that we are not. We are tightly constrained by England. Westminster is essentially England. Too much is reserved to Westminster.
Since England forced Scotland into an unwanted treaty in 1707,how much do you think that it's plundered from Scotland.
Clue,it's a huge sum of money, very huge.
Btw,I'm English myself.
We are stronger and safer when we work together and Scotland plays a vital role in the combined defence and security of the UK.
UK Defence also spends billions with Scottish industry year, supporting 1000's of private sector jobs.
This is why we're better together Mr Dunn
Maybe London,great idea.
#Cybernats was a creation of the Establishment.
Scotland benefits from being part of the UK, including greater funding for public services and international influence. At the same time, devolution means Scotland has its own parliament and government with responsibility for managing most public services in Scotland.
Block Grant funding for the Scottish Government is the highest since devolution began at around £41 billion a year for 2022-2025. So, for every £100 per person the UK Govt spends in England on matters devolved to Scotland, the Scottish Government will receive around £126 per person in Scotland.
Public spending and revenue for Scotland?
Collective economic strength of the UK means higher spending on public services in Scotland; £2,417 more per head of additional spending to the UK average, as a result of the redistribution of wealth throughout the UK.
Try harder, we are still planning in leaving.
It's constant.
We want independence because, to us, in this unequal union, democracy is an illusion.
In 2023/24 Westminster took £88+ billion from Scotland. It returned £50ish billion. As a block "grant."
Note the language there. It's deliberately made to make it seem like England is giving something to Scotland...
Various Westminster PMs have made it clear they have disdain if not hatred for Scots. Do you for 1 second think Scotland would still be part of the UK if we cost Westminster a penny?
It's not just you. During many conversations with those south of...
You all seem to forget that:
(1) Oil revenue (past & present is being stolen by Westminster into the hundreds of billions).
(2) We all pay taxes, too.
(3) We supply 16TWh of electricity to England annually. Yet we pay a higher price...
For every £1.00 raised in Scottish taxes 40p goes to WM, 60p to HR of which we only control 11p to fund free prescriptions, increased pay for nurses and teachers, free bus passes, baby boxes, winter fuel payments, child care, child allowances etc🤔😱
Just some of the attributes that have increased over the last few decades

Explain.
We are in fact weaker in the Union as we are down troden by the Union.
Scotland voted remain but got dragged out so I don’t understand why you think we are better together
The current structure of the UK is an abuse against the smaller nations. It has to change one way or another.
Quel Surprise.
Maybe England can power plants from all the nuclear reactors it intends building.
a) so they can site a nuclear waste silo in D&G
b) their perception is Scotland is sparsely populated (despite the reactors being sited on the populous central belt).
NPS need to be coastal.
Only Independence can stop these w⚓s
Fascists don't do local democracy.
Water sent to Liverpool and Birmingham
And we get bugger all for it
#IndyWales too please. ASAP
Precious union ma erse.
#IndependenceIsNormal #ScottishIndependence
Either that or the profiteering bandits from privatised utilities down there can spend their money & collect rain water.
The best solution however would be for Scotland to be independent & prevent the theft of our natural resources.
The guy has no clue!
Have you seen this?
This needs to be out there for Scots to see how we are shafted in this controlling union.
Reform acting like pseudo Trumpian twats
That will be fckn right.
#SaorAlba #IndyClan #Salvo #LiberationScotland
...in a country where it rains, all we need is more reservoirs - that Thames Water should build within their catchment area
Leave Scotland alone - they are never stupid enough to vote Reform
They get all of our benefits yet vote TORY,LABOUR and they'll vote Farage because he waves a wee Union Jack.
The UJ sends them into a complete frenzy unbeknown to civilisation.
They are not of this earth.
To pump water from Scotland to England in the quantities required would be a massive engineering project costing billions
Why not use the money to nationalise the water companies and run them properly instead of doling out endless gravy to shareholders?
@gbnewsonline.bsky.social
Thames Water
the sales of mass tonnage of laxatives will sky rocket it Scotland.
Toilet paper will be gold in england.
Go on like Trump and Canada to impress the hard of thinking.
Of course if they really want to take water from lakes the Lake district is nearer and its English water.
Or we should have built more reservoirs as you suggested.
We should have a big locked border to keep him and his pals out.
If you know, you know…
Perfect pal for Farago & Trumpeter🤢🤢🤢
