BBC News and Sky News ramming Trump down our throat. No we don't want to freaking see him all the time in the UK. Please cut it the feck out.

@skynewsrss.bsky.social turning into a populist channel. Have you heard yourselves? Im done with you. Childish commentators. US style grinning. News for you, we aren't America.

Apparently, we are ashamed of our political parties now as leaflets don't tell us. Unless you support Scottish Independence, or wish to discuss it with me, don't leave flyers jammed in my door. Thank you. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social

I see loads of #ScottishIndependence chat on social media Yet, only 6,566 signatures here so far? petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social your man this morning hosting Tice and being an apologist for racism from callers on his show agin. It was happening last night too from the Cameron fan girl. You know we are all screwed thanks to dinosaurs like him.

Ardrossan Harbour Company Ltd is owned by Clydeport Ltd which is controlled by Peel Ports Investments Ltd of Liverpool and owned by Deutsche Trustee Company Ltd. It's a privately owned port which hasn't bothered to upgrade to take the new ferries. Despite at least 8 years warning

This is very important it is going through Holyrood committee just now. If it wasn't for Fergus Ewing, Jackson Carlaw would have had it thrown out yesterday. There needs signed, there are only just over 6,000 signed up till now.

We're generating record amounts of energy but far too many folk can't afford to heat their homes. The UK is fundamentally broken, and not working for us. With independence we could actually reduce bills. We have the energy, we just need the power! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On a lighter note, what a superb game of rugby. Well done both teams, next time Scotland. Thank god for rugby.

The original TV series of Sunset Song is on iPlayer. I watched it with my mum when it first was shown. She grew up on a farm like Blawearie. Though Chris Guthrie was of the generation older than my mum. So I’m watching it again. Its language and feel for the land is just as moving now as it was then

www.amazon.co.uk/Long-But-Hun... www.amazon.co.uk/Odyssey-Trav... OUT NOW!… ‘For As Long As But A Hundred Of Us Remain Alive’ A new book that charts the rise of the movement for Scottish Independence and illustrates the interventions made by the Security Services in frustrating that goal

I typed this question into ChatGPT: - “Why does the UK Govt continually attempt to sabotage Scottish independence via the media etc”? Very interesting response! Too long to show here but I strongly suggest trying it for yourself! I tried getting it to give a denial of the bias but it couldn’t !

@lewisgoodall.com I suspect with shouty callers like you had there , it would be worth knowing what kind of venture capitalism or stocks related business they are involved with. These are the only ones who are going to benefit from crap like this.

Seems a good time to post this -

@billcruickshank.bsky.social can't message you, but figured you would like to see the latest crap pushed against us here. I mean what happened to the push back gang at @thesnp.bsky.social I mean it is all so depressing that we just don't have any voice. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...
