Scottish independence may be the last chance we have of protecting democracy - but we need to achieve it soon, before the UK government decides that people who advocate our right to choose are labelled 'domestic terrorists'.

Protest is not a threat to Democracy - Protest protects Democracy — Common Weal The UK Government’s attempt to ban Palestine Action is a risky overreach that threatens to further quash the kinds of protest that protect rather than threaten democracy.

Always remember that a protest without "disruption" is just a group of powerless people being laughed at by those with power.

Why would Starmer never want to have this conversation?
Well for a start no PM would want to face King Lug Ears to tell him that they have lost the cash cow & he would need to pay for his royal estates in Scotland.
Second they would be fucked without our energy sector........
Need I go on?

Leaving the ECHR won’t fix illegal migration Half-baked tales of rulings turning on chicken nuggets are no basis for cutting Britain adrift

Tories and Reform want to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.

Since 1980, the ECHR court has heard 29 cases of immigrant deportation. UK won 16. No defeats in the last 5 yrs.

Quitting ECHR won't fix illegal immigration, will destroy our freedoms and rights.

Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Britain isn't in a debt doom loop, whatever some people say.

The Economist has claimed Britain is trapped in a “debt doom loop.” But they’re wrong. The UK does not face a government debt crisis. What we really face is chronic underinvestment, inequality, and an elite media pushing austerity to protect the wealthy.

Badenoch says Tories open to quitting more treaties to increase deportations Party leader uses conference speech to outline proposal for UK to exit ECHR as part of wider bonfire of protections

As the biggest parties in the UK fall over themselves to align with fascism and Reform UK, Scotland must take a different route.

Independence for Scotland must happen otherwise fascism wins.

Like and report if you agree.

The UK had by my calculations, per capita, twice the number of fatalities as the Republic of Ireland. Ireland wasn’t exactly gold standard. Experts were begging the UK govt & opposition to follow basic science, to no avail. The UK scientific establishment was silent. Only Independent SAGE spoke out

Scottish Independence is now the ONLY solution.

It's REALLY clear now.

Any Scot STILL wanting to remain in the UK, is rather silly.

These arrests are going to be a PR disaster for the legislators, crown office, courts, police.
There is a distinct possibility that jurors will ignore any direction from the judge and pass a not guilty verdict.
This maybe is what the establishment want to justify holding trials without a jury

Where are the Blue Polis tents? Remember the persecution suffered by Nicola Sturgeon. Why is the equivalent not visited on this charlatan snake oil salesman, is it because she was Scottish?

It’s quite possible the largest party in each Celtic nation will support the break-up of the UK, while England will opt for right-wing, Europe-hating, English nationalists.'

Well that's the trouble. We did. We voted out the Tories, only to get a government that now does the same or worse. It's not hard to see why people feel like giving up on politics.

He’s basically saying the people should not be consulted about losing their rights.
Given the chance the Unionist parties would never have a vote on anything again.

In the run-up to Scotland's 2026 general election the English-registered opposition parties - Labour, Tory and Libdem - will no doubt target 'wasteful' SNP ScotGov spending. *This* is how ScotGov 'wastes' our money. More of this waste, please. #SNP1Greens2
