The best example of which is the BBC/England's puke-inducing deference to the monarchy

And to avoid yet another defeat in Scotland:

Thanks for your reply. I'm interested in why the 2014 weighting is problematic. Is it because it's exaggerating the elderly No vote, as alluded to in this exchange? BTW, I don't have an opinion on the Find Out Now issue, and certainly not trying to engage in whataboutery.

That article is from February and refers to an old poll. James Kelly covers the issue as part of this post....

The people that make these arguments show themselves to be 'British nationalists' (i.e. their politics are of a unitary single nation state) rather than 'unionists' (who accept the UK is a multinational state of formerly independent countries).

"No, it's not". It's not what, I'm not following?
Discussion of a deal with Reform is academic anyway, as they'll join with the Tories to form a majority way before countenancing the SNP

Confidence and supply deal to make him PM. If he's what you say he is then winning indyref2 will be more of a shoo-in than it already is. Can always renege in the event of losing it

Presumably any deal with Reform would be on the basis of them allowing indyref2. I still think Sturgeon should have explored that option with Theresa May when she was desperate for votes. On your 2nd point, fair enough.

The UK supreme court ruled that the Scottish government does not have the right to hold an independence referendum. This leaves Scotland with no democratic route to independence, and now effectively a colony.

Given that Scotland has been allowed no democratic path to independence, this is simply a form of colonial extraction

Over 90% of energy produced in Scotland is from low carbon sources (mainly wind). Over 30% of energy produced in Scotland is exported. Yet Scottish generators pay the highest transmission fees because they're most remote from SE England.

These threats remind me of what we Scots saw in the run up to indyref1. They can fuck off, and keep fucking off...

The Americans argue they're pivoting their focus towards China/India, which does make sense to a degree.

As the months passed without our savior's return, we got desperate. Some took to making effigies of 'Scalzi' like a Melanesian cargo cult, hoping the statues would fart out novels of wisdom. It didn't work.
