“Because Scots does not have a recognised standard spoken form today, many believe that the various dialects spoken here are dialects of English. They are in fact dialects of Scots and form an unbroken continuum with the language which was the national tongue of the Middle Ages."

I know trivial in the grand scheme of things, but one good thing about us regaining independence, we will no longer be subjected to the English (UK) media calling us Brits when they mean English. No idea about Scottish independence cause they don’t cover it. If they do spun negative. News blackout.

The English are giving Scotland £200 million back of their own money while blocking democratic routes out of their forced UK union. Rejoice! Thank the lord for our English governors. 6 oil refineries in the UK, and the English are closing a major industry in Scotland. 97% of UK oil is Scottish.

Exploited migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours. Workers not paid for in-work travel, time spent moving between workstations, team meetings, receiving instructions on equipment use. Employers violating employment rights. Need effective enforcement, not deregulation.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State and newly appointed Acting Archivist at NARA, wasted no time in canceling Civil Rights book events at the Carter Library. When a right-wing populist controls diplomacy and history, censorship isn’t just a risk—it’s the agenda. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

If this was ANY port in England and not Rosyth there would be NO problem with the £3m grant. This is designed to keep Scotland dependent, they don't want us connected to Europe like this, because it helps the Independence case Spencer Livermore who has held this up is an unelected English Lord👇🏻

Lord Keynes told us in 1941 how to pay for defence We should follow his advice. youtu.be/D8vt7hXlqZM?... If we need to pay more for defence the last people who should pay for it are those most dependent on the state. It’s the richest who should be covering the cost.

Trump plan to enslave Ukraine. Demands $500bn “payback”, wants control of “mineral resources, oil and gas, ports, other infrastructure" in perpetuity, control economy. Ukraine must pay US before feeding its people. No penalty on Russia for the invasion. Politicians or gangsters? archive.ph/0El3f

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.
