Dictators are carving the globe. Trump is handing 20% or more of Ukraine to Putin. What next? Trump wants Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine minerals. Xi will want Taiwan and more. More countries will acquire nuclear weapons to prevent territorial grabs. Insanity is becoming the norm.

Scotch Whisky has been Taxed, for TWO CENTURIES. Tax on it, in the UK is now 75%. Only very silly, unenlightened, or very old Scots don't want Independence.

I saw illegality and complicity with war crimes. That’s why I quit the UK Foreign Office, a devastating account by a UK diplomat who quit in Aug 2024. Ministers & senior officials protected arms deals facilitating death and horror in Gaza and Yemen. Parliament emasculated. No one held to account.

You've got to hand it to Westminster. Even when GDP goes up, inequality gets worse. It's time Scotland managed its own affairs without the chains of Westminster.
