I`ll say it again. It`s divide and conquer, the British Empire have mastered the art over centuries and we are just the latest to have fallen for it. Working together is the only way to beat it.

Good morning Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Are you happy with your lot?
It's the worst UK Govt ever.
The highest food and fuel prices.
Trade & Travel within the EU restricted.
Do you want to control your own affairs or be controlled forever?

By most measures, there isn't even a rational argument any more.
Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.
That's why England doesn't want their own Independence.
Poster with the question - if Scotland is such a drain on England as is claimed, why is not a single one of Englandโs 533 MPs demanding the dissolution of the union?

I do understand why the scare stories from project fear about pensions, EU membership, currency and of course The Vow worked then. Surely not now?

Next week temperatures are set to plummet in Scotland.
The Red Tories removed the pensioners WFA.
Fuel bills then increased by 10%
The Union doesn't work for Scotland but against it!

Good
It started
Great news that Scotland is reinventing itself here on BlueSky.
Let's build the community of all of us who want to see an independent Scotland in the EU, never to be ruled by Tories ever again.
We can do this by retweeting and following each other on this
#FollowBackFriday
Absolutely spot on.

It has worked again in Scotland ever since the gloves came off during the run up to the independence vote and has continued unabated. We all, collectively, have to recognise this and rise above it.

Lots of new infrastructure going in to take even more energy to England, while our only refinery is shut down. Some here think it's fine, it's just a bit of asset stripping by the colonial masters.
